Chapter 377

Barbara said, "Actually, I was going to leave the IP&G Group. Patrick probably didn't tell you that I

was imprisoned by a woman named LUCY a period of time ago. LUCY wanted to take something

from me, but I didn't have it anymore.”

"LUCY and the others didn't hit me, but I was really scared. Patrick's background was so mysterious.

I couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but I really wanted to know what was in his mind. It was

like the first time I met him, I fell in love with him..."

Christina looked up at her.

Although Geoffrey was a child, he also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

"Don't bully Aunt Hopkins."

Geoffrey pulled a long face and looked at Barbara unhappily.

Barbara was stunned, but Christina still had no expression on her face.

"Geoffrey, you misunderstood.”

Barbara chuckled and reached out to touch his little head. Geoffrey seemed unhappy. He leaned

closer to Christina. Feeling the child was rejecting her, Barbara felt a little embarrassed.

Barbara smiled gently and coaxed the child, "I really didn't bully her. If you don't believe me, ask her.

She doesn't mind at all. If you really want to be righteous, you should love your Uncle Hopkins

more."

When Barbara got the USB drive, she was shocked by the video on it. Patrick actually had sent

someone to change the child. Even Christina didn't know about it. That was Patrick's usual style of

doing things.

Christina could not stand him and was not suitable for him.

"Your Aunt. Hopkins have a strong personality. She won't compromise for anyone. She would rather

live a comfortable life alone than love someone as humbly as other women.”

Christina never believed in love, especially the love at first sight, which was too rare.

Geoffrey didn’t understand what she was saying, but he also knew that Aunt Parker was showing off.

He found that Aunt Hopkins didn't refute. What should he do? Wasn't she bullied?

Geoffrey raised his little face and looked at Christina worriedly.

"Barbara, I know you're patient. You're charming. It's none of my business that you're willing to

wait."

Christina was a little upset. She lowered her voice and spoke in a flat tone.

Geoffrey looked at her in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it. At this time, Chandler and Crystal

rushed back to the hotel. The wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier, and their

clothes were covered in snowflakes

"Barbara?"

Chandler walked over and greeted her with a smile as usual, "Does this hotel work with IP&G?"

"Yes, I wanted to go back by plane yesterday, but the new owner of this hotel is not easy to talk

with."

Barbara shook hands with him politely and smiled

Barbara glanced at Crystal with a strange expression. She guessed and asked, "Have you been

officially together?” This tone sounded as if their relationship had been ambiguous and immoral

before.

"We have registered for marriage.”

Chandler admitted it directly and he hugged Crystal even tighter.

Barbara was surprised that they registered for marriage so soon, "Then Erica..."

"I know Erica has a bad temper, but Chandler, you've been tolerating her for so many years. I

thought you really loved her. Why did you find another woman in less than half a year of divorce...”

Barbara spoke anxiously. She was in a different position. She and Erica were good friends, so she felt

uncomfortable when seeing that her good friend's ex-husband got married and had a pleasant trip

abroad.

"Barbara, everyone has their own choices. We have no right to interfere in other people's lives.”

Christina suddenly spoke in a cold tone, “In addition, I want to remind you that there are some

things in this world that are not yours. No matter how hard you try, you can't get them.”

After saying that, Christina reached out and grabbed Crystal over there. She even didn't Chandler a

good look. She dragged Crystal straight into the elevator.

Chandler was a little stunned and did not react. In fact, he did not turn his head to look at Crystal

just now and didn't find that Crystal had kept her head down and looked ashamed when she faced

Barbara as if she was losing her self-esteem.

Barbara looked at Christina's haughty figure and her face darkened instantly.

Chandler, who was left behind, was a little embarrassed, “Christina is a little straightforward.”

"Yes, if she goes to work in the company with such a character, she will probably be scolded

frequently.” Barbara sighed jokingly, "I heard that Christina has never worked since she graduated.

The Dickens family loves her so much. As an ordinary person, I really envy her."

Chandler and Barbara often cooperated in business. It was common for them to be sophiscated and

hide a dagger in their smiles.

He smiled gently, "Everyone thinks so. I used to think that Christina was just lucky, but now I think

she's not just lucky..."

Businessmen who talked about cooperation must always wear a smile. Even Chandler himself hated

to be so hypocritical, but he must to be so for life.

Chandler nodded at her and led Geoffrey into the elevator.

"Are you unhappy that Aunt Parker mentioned your mother just now?" Chandler held Geoffrey's

hand and noticed that the little guy was sullen and unhappy.

Chandler had been looking at Geoffrey just now, so he didn't pay attention to Crystal beside him.

"Aunt Zhu seemed scared just now."

Geoffrey looked down at his shoes, looking listless. His voice was childish and innocent, "Aunt

Hopkins saw that Aunt Zhu was afraid, and then she dragged Aunt Zhu away... Aunt Hopkins wasn't

very fierce.”

Chandler looked at the flashing numbers in the elevator and suddenly heard his son's words,

laughing.

"Your Aunt Hopkins often doesn't care about others. If Barbara shows off in front of her, she would

probably be enraged by your Aunt Hopkins. However, if someone bullied the people around your

Aunt Hopkins, she wouldn't forgive them easily."

"Is Aunt Hopkins getting a divorce too?" Geoffrey suddenly asked the question like an adult.

He felt that Aunt Hopkins didn't like Uncle Hopkins anymore and might divorce like his father and

his mother.

The elevator arrived.

Chandler didn't take the child's words to heart, and the Patrick Hopkins's family affairs were none of

his business.

They went back to their suites in the hotel and had a short rest. The hotel prepared a buffet dinner.

Christina, Chandler and the others dressed up and went to the lobby to eat. Everyone did not

mention those unpleasant things tacitly.

But Geoffrey seemed to be depressed tonight.

"Geoffrey, if a man is short, he will be discriminated. Hurry up and eat more..." Charles Shepherd was

very dutiful and tried his best to get the child all kinds of food.

Geoffrey lowered his head and ate without saying a word.

Christina and Crystal Zhu did not take Barbara's words this afternoon to heart. This six-star hotel

was magnificent, with crystal lights shining on the ceiling. The long dining table was full of various

dishes, with a band playing the piano and violin in the center. The dinning atmosphere was very

harmonious.

It was already dark outside. The wind and snow were howling wildly. The window occasionally

vibrated with a bang, but the noise was covered by the melodious music.

Because of the bad weather, they did not go out after dinner. At 10 pm, Christina turned off the

lights to rest.

Geoffrey lived with her. He was only six years old, but he was so shy that he curled up beside the

bed and fell under it. Christina picked him up in the middle of the night.

He was so shy but he was persistent to live with her. Christina couldn't understand the child's mind.

Tonight, the wind outside the window was getting stronger and stronger. Christina frowned, turned

on the bedside lamp and got up. She walked barefoot to the french window and stared out at the

darkness.

Suddenly, there was a small figure beside her. Geoffrey was in a daze. He probably woke up because

the light was on. This little guy was very sensitive.

"Geoffrey, go back to bed and sleep. I'll turn off the light." She couldn't fall asleep.

Geoffrey had just woken up. His face was a little red, his eyes were dark and bright, and he tugged

at her hesitantly with his little hand, "Aunt Hopkins.”

Christina lowered her head to look at him.

She found that Geoffrey, a six-year-old boy, looked serious and his eyes were moist as if he was

holding back his tears.

"My mother used to say that she didn't want to give birth to me. She hated me... Uncle Shepherd

took us to see Little Brother Hopkins on the first day of the new year. If you don't want them, I know

they will be very sad.”

"Aunt Hopkins, don't abandon them."
