Chapter 508

It was midnight again.

Patrick watched Christina get up angrily. She was nervously chatting with other people on the

phone.

"What!" Christina suddenly gave a cry of astonishment and was not sleepy anymore.

"Are you serious?"

She couldn't believe what she had just heard from the other end of the line.

"Oh... I don't know." Christina, who had always been straightforward, was hesitant this time.

"Of course I will support you unconditionally. Don't worry!"

Christina subconsciously turned to look at Patrick while holding her phone. Patrick was also

squinting at her, watching her like a hawk. Obviously, he was unhappy that someone disturbed their

sleeping in the middle of the night.

Christina was not afraid of him at all. She ran into the bathroom, closed the bathroom door directly,

and continued to talk to her friends on the phone.

"Crystal, are you really going to divorce Chandler?” Christina lowered her voice as if she was afraid

that someone else would hear it.

Although she was very angry before, thinking that the Stephenson family are all scum. She even

slapped Chandler and taught him a lesson. But if it caused their divorce, she would feel a little

guilty.

"Christina, I'm outside now and don't know where to go."

Crystal didn't cry anymore. Instead, her voice was calm now, as if she was telling a very ordinary

thing.

"Didn't you say that even if you wanted to run away from home, don't be silly enough to stay

outside? Now I just want to find a place to sleep and have a rest. Christina, can you help me?"

Her voice became weaker as if her strength was about to run out. She rarely asked for help, but this

time she was really at a loss. She could not think of anyone else who would help her except

Christina.

"Okay, okay, I... I'll see what I can do!"

Christina could not stand standing aside when others were in trouble. She immediately agreed to

help her.

"You probably won't like living in the Hopkins family. There are so many rules here, and Ms. Hopkins

is really annoying... I've got it! Last month, Patrick gave me a villa. It's a big, single house. It's well

furnished and equipped. You can live there.”

If Crystal was determined to run away from Chandler, of course she couldn't live in a hotel. In that

case, Chandler would find her sooner or later. If she wanted a quiet place, the private house of the

Hopkins family was the best.

"I'll go find the address. I'll send it to you later... The community service there is good. I'll call them

to get you the key.”

"Okay, thank you, Christina.” Crystal said in a low voice.

"You're welcome. By the way, Crystal, you haven't told me where you are now... Forget it. I can't

sleep anyway. I'll go find you and pick you up, and then we'll go over there to show you around...”

"Thanks, but I can just go there by taxi.”

Crystal knew that if she called Christina in the middle of the night, Patrick would be very dissatisfied.

She had always been afraid of bothering others.

Christina, however, couldn't care less about her husband's dissatisfaction. She continued, "I'm telling

you that it's really a good place. It's very close to a shopping center so it's convenient to buy daily

necessities. There are also many food streets around.”

"I've always said that the Hopkins family is too big and too cold, especially at night. It's like a

haunted house and the atmosphere here is scary. The family environment is not as loving and

caring as that of an ordinary family. But the villa there is good, with a small courtyard in the front of

it. If we go there and live together, life will be very convenient and easy. All the appliances are new.

The formaldehyde has already been removed beforehand, so you can have a good rest over there

and nourish the fetus. You can call the property for help anytime you want..."

Christina gabbled on and on, finding that she also wanted to live in that house.

Crystal felt warm after hearing her words. She knew that Christina didn't know how to comfort

people. She said a lot, trying to coax her not to be worried anymore.

"Okay, I'll live there from now on.”

Crystal finally put up a smile on her face. She did not thank Christina this time. She knew that there

was no need to say that again.

Christina let out a sigh of relief after hearing Crystal's words.

After hanging up, she walked out of the bathroom. Christina was thinking about taking how many

clothes with her to live there. She also had to drive a car; otherwise, it would be inconvenient for

them to go out. Why not she go over right now? She couldn't sleep now anyway. Crystal was not

familiar with that villa.

"... Where did you hide her?" Patrick asked as soon as she came out.

Christina gave him a wary look, blushing guiltily, but refused to admit anything. "I don't know what

you're talking about.”

Then she told him boldly, "I have something to do now. I need to go out for a while."

Then she went straight to the cloakroom, rummaged through the cabinets and took out a few sets

of clothes. She stuffed them into the suitcase.

Patrick frowned deeply. Seeing that she was packing up her luggage as if she was also running

away, he couldn't help but walk over and close her suitcase.

"... Don't get involved with the mess of the Stephenson family." His tone was serious. It seemed that

he was a little angry.

Christina did not even raise her head. She bent down and continued looking for two pairs of her

shoes. She was thinking about bringing a few more pairs of shoes over. Maybe Crystal would need

them too

"Christina Dickens!" Only when Patrick was furious would he refer to her by her full name.

"It's 2:45 in the morning. If you dare to go out now, I'll kick your friend out of my villa immediately.”

Christina exploded when she heard this. She threw down her shoes, straightened her back, and

argued with him, "You can't be so unreasonable. Accommodating Crystal in our empty house won't

be a nuisance. In fact, it has nothing to do with you. Now she's pregnant, so she needs to have a

good rest and live in a good environment..."

Patrick was really angry after hearing her words. "I didn't expect that my wife was so considerate.

Why didn't you be so careful when you were pregnant?"

Patrick was selfish. He didn't want his wife to worry about other people all day long.

"I don't care. Crystal will live there anyway."

Christina knew that she was unable to defeat him by logical discussion, so she straightened her face,

trying to be unreasonable.

"And, you," Christina said angrily, pointing her finger at his chest. "Don't try to help your friend

Chandler. Now that Crystal says she wants to move out, none of you can force her to go back

against her will."

Christina snorted proudly. "That's it."

"I can't sleep now. I'm going there and show her around.” She dragged her suitcase and walked

away quickly.

Patrick stood there with a dark face, watching his wife run away like that under his nose.

There was no way to vent his anger. Patrick picked up his phone expressionlessly and said in a cold

and deep voice, "Find Chandler and tell him to deal with his family affair immediately!"

Charles, who was sleeping at that time, was aroused by Patrick's phone call.

Before he could answer, Patrick hung up the phone unhappily and turned to look at the empty bed.

His was very depressed. If he couldn't sleep well, none of these guys were allowed to do so.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Patrick thought. His wife, Christina, had been packing up

things in the past few days and moving them to the new house. It seemed that she was about to live

there at any time.

Patrick looked at her with a gloomy face the whole time. Christina didn't feel any pressure at all and

continued with her packing.

"I'm going to have dinner with Crystal today. I won't be back tonight.” After a simple explanation,

she dragged her suitcase and ran away happily.

Recently, not only the Stephenson family but also the Hopkins family and even Charles were

depressed.

In the past, when Patrick and Christina quarreled, Charles always had no choice but to be on the

receiving end of Patrick's bad temper.

But God is fair. Patrick finally got to know his feelings. But why, in the end, it was him who had to

take care of all the stuff for him.

"Chandler, what have you been doing these days? You know that Crystal is staying at Christina's

house Why don't you go find her?"

Charles advised earnestly.

"Think about it. If you let Crystal hang around with Christina for too long, she would definitely

divorce you at Christina's suggestion. Then you are in trouble.”

Patrick's face was cold and he said, "Christina didn't give her any suggestion.”

Patrick had never liked to interfere in other people's private affairs. But this time, it seemed that he

could not bear it any longer. He said to Chandler with a stern face and a serious tone.

"Crystal insists on giving birth to this one even though you don't like it. But she will try her best to

do this secretly and she will leave you with your child. You will never see them again.”

Chandler froze.

Patrick made a reasonable guess. Although Crystal was timid, nobody knew what a mother could do

for her child. Before she decided to give birth to the baby, she must have been mentally prepared to

break up with the Stephenson family.

Charles patted him on the shoulder. "Chandler, don't be so hesitant every time you deal with things

related to your brother.”

"You were married to Erica for a long time but all she wanted to do was to torture you. Do you really

have a masochistic tendency? Now you've got rid of Erica and have your own marriage. Crystal is

pregnant with your child. Happiness is just around the corner..."

Chandler lowered her eyes and was depressed, "People like me don't deserve happiness.”

Patrick snapped, "Sure you don't deserve to be happy, but don't drag Crystal down with you.”

Patrick's words were like a sharp knife that cut him open and brought out something really ugly in

him.

Chandler was stunned and did not speak for a long time.

It seemed that even he himself had never thought about anything like that. When he married

Crystal, he was actually dragging her down with him.

"... If you were a man, you should do your best to make your wife happy. Love her, and let her be

carefree.”

Patrick's eyes were sharp. After these words, he got up and left.
