Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 172 

After returning from the party organized by the Fishers, everything seemed to return to peace.

As usual, Patrick was busy with the group's affairs.

And as usual, Christina also went to do prenatal checkups, and listened to nutritionists' various parenting tips.

As the days went by, the baby twins in Christina's womb grew and became very heavy, making her look plumper and lazier.

She was not willing to move except daily walking in the Hopkinses.

Christina was eager to deliver the babies as soon as possible.

It was not easy for her to bear the twins.

"Ouch, waist.Where's my waist? I'm almost a waistless woman" Christina gained so much weight that she didn't want to face herself anymore.

She felt bored just after breakfast.

So she went to take a rest in the lotus pond pavilion inside the Hopkinses, where she could call Crystal to kill some time.

But life was hard.

Not everyone was as idle as Miss Dickens.

"If I could marry Patrick, I would gladly lose my breasts, let alone my waist.

Christina, you are sponging off him.Can you please visit people outside and experience the sufferings of life? Do you want to force me to revolt?"Crystal had been very upset lately.She grabbed her cell phone and yelled at her best friend, regardless of what.

Damnit! Crystal felt like she was about to get exploded. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

She then cursed, "Those who say money is not important are usually naive.Ah! Maybe they have a lack of calcium in their brain."

"What's wrong with you?"

Christina licked a small piece of kiwi with a fork and put it into her mouth, trying to feed her twins vitamins.

Listening to Crystal's angry roar, she thought there was probably something unpleasant happening to her again.

"I'm calling myself an idiot..."

Crystal soon lost her momentum of cursing and said in a sullen voice, "Why did I refuse that job from W&A Company? Why did I pretend to be so noble? I recently found several jobs to compare with it.I found that these capitalists were really squeezing people too hard.I have to work so hard at such a low salary, which couldn't even get me to pay the house mortgage."

"There are many competitors applying for jobs in W&A Company, and the benefits offered are good.Why did you reject it?"

Christina had also heard of this company.

It seemed to be a new company that had just opened a year ago, attracting many investments from large groups with its bright prospect.

"Impulsiveness, it's all because of impulsiveness" Crystal was getting more and more frustrated.

"A while ago, I happened to meet a lost boy at a coffee shop in F City.The little boy was in a bad mood.Although I knew that he was a rich man's child, I didn't think too much.I followed him purely because I was afraid that something might happen to him."

"Not long after, his father came over" said Crystal, her face darkening and she was still angry.

"That man didn't say a word of thanks.He just gave me five thousand dollars and said that it was the several-hour care fee for his son.What does that mean? Did he take me as a scheming person..."

It was true that some people were very cold, always used to using money to get rid of people, which in fact, seriously hurt people's self-esteem.

"The worst part is, after I quit my job at IP&G Group, I was so excited to take the job interview in W&A Company, and it turned out that father was actually in charge of this company..."

Crystal's voice was lowered down.Why was she so unlucky these days?

"It's just because of such a coincidence that you refused a good job?" Christina heard this and sensed something wrong.

She thought it for a while and asked, "Crystal, why do you care so much about that child's father? Did you know him before?"

Christina was very clear that Crystal had a good nature, and there were too many people who bullied her in daily life.

Crystal always said that peace was the most important thing, and she would not take it seriously.Why did she get impulsive this time?

"Who is that man? What's his name? Should I ask Patrick to dig up his secret..." Christina spoke with great interest, but Crystal could not help getting nervous when she heard this.

Crystal said in a hurry, "Christina, don't get involved.The day before yesterday, Barbara called me personally and asked me about my job search.I can't afford this kind of care.I've been rejected by companies when looking for a job lately, and I think it's too wierd.Now I don't dare to get involved in anything that you big shots have involved.Let me live.I'm just a humble person with no significance"

"Barbara!"

Christina's face darkened when she heard the name.

After that, she asked Charles for some gossipy news.

Charles said that the important client Barbara and Crystal were entertaining that night happened to be Larry.

Larry, a fat man with a foul mouth, spoke bad words and liked to watch others suffer.

But Christina knew Larry's temperament, and she knew that Larry wasn't evil and terrible person.

What Larry said that day was only directed at Barbara.

In the end, Barbara took Crystal as a scapegoat and forced her to resign voluntarily.

The more Christina thought about it, the angrier she got.

It seemed that the fire of her anger was strong enough to burn her hair.

Crystal sensed that Christina was furious.

But she didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Peace was the priority.

Crystal quickly changed the topic and said, "Christina, I forgot to tell you that I am blind dating recently.I was thinking that no matter how well I did my job, it is still less successful than good marriage..."

Crystal told Christina a lot of strange things about her blind dates recently.

Christina listened calmly without any emotion and did not say anything.

But Christina herself knew very well that she was not the right one to interfere in her business, even if she knew these things.

After hanging up the phone, Christina had been thinking while sitting in the pavilion for a while.

A maid came up behind her, reminding her to keep warm and not catch a cold.

Christina saw the withered lotus leaves in the lotus pond and realized that it was already autumn.

It had been nearly two months since returning from the party of Fisher Family.

Christina suddenly remembered something.

She quickly touched the screen of her phone, opened WhatsApp, and found an account nicknamed Sleeping Beauty.

"Eric, are you back? What are you doing now?" she typed this in her WhatsApp, but after a moment of hesitation, she deleted this text.

She knew that Derek used this account.She knew that if she sent him a message, he would definitely see it.

But he wouldn't answer her back.

Being pregnant with a big belly, she slowly stood up from the stone chair, holding the phone and slightly tightening her strength.

She wanted to see him, wanted to ask him a lot of questions.

She had sent him a lot of messages, but Derek did not reply.

Maybe he was still angry about what happened back then.

Or perhaps, Derek knew that even if they met, they would be embarrassed.

Especially now that she had a big belly.

Christina looked at the huge lotus pond and said to herself, "Actually, I don't like such a big place..."

"Don't like it?"

In the grand and spacious penthouse office of the IP&G Group, several elite men in suits lowered their heads nervously, not daring to breathe, while the man sitting in the office chair looked grim.

Patrick took a document and threw it back to the table angrily.

"So what if you don't like it..."

He didn't need to care about the feelings of an outsider.

"Go do the stats now and go through all the projects that Larry has been involved in for the past six months, including the list of partners..."

"Investigate him for me..."
