Spoil My Errant Wife Chapter 289

She had been quite tired these days.

It was unknown that who would get the IP&G commercial until three days later.

Christina could only wait anxiously.

After rushing back from Hongkong by air to apartment 402, she fell asleep.

Her mind was in a mess and she had a mentality of escaping.

Who was Lucy? What if I couldn't get the advertisement for IP&G? Why did you want me to participate
in the advertisement audition? Why did you want me to stay away from Charles...

A lot of information and questions had been bothering her.

They became her nightmares.

These dreams were like a maze with no way out.

"Christina, don't make me angry."

"Don't do what you shouldn't do.Stay away from those men, because I don't like it."

She suddenly woke up and lay flat on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling above her.

She was very slow in reaction, and Patrick's voice echoed in her mind.

His voice was low, deep, and a little angry, just like what it was when he got extremely angry with her
previously.

She had dreamt about her life in the Hopkins family before.She actually missed it a little.She turned to
look at the window.



It was so gray that she could not tell whether it was morning or evening.

"Achoo.."

The cold wind blew in.

She shrank and quickly got up.She took a thick coat and put it on her body.

Christina guessed that she had probably woken up by the low temperature.

She quickly closed the window.

When she looked down, she saw that the street lights in the neighborhood downstairs were all on.

It turned out that it was already evening.

They rushed back in the morning by air and returned to A City at about 8 a.m..

She was so tired that she forgot to turn on the heater.

Christina pulled out a few tissues to cover her nose and found she had caught a cold again.

"Christina, you caught a cold again!"

The phone showed that Crystal had called her at noon.

When she called back and just said hello, Crystal first questioned her angrily.

"Do you have a fever? Do you have any medicine at home?"

Christina listened to the loud question with her mind in a daze.She admired Crystal's quick reaction.



It seemed that Crystal had got quite an imposing manner after she came to serve as a nanny at the
Stephenson family for a few months.

Christina held an electronic thermometer in her left hand and stared at the temperature of 38.2 degrees
shown on it.

She paused for two seconds and said, "I don't have a fever”

"Don't think I don't know about it.You're lying."

Crystal refuted her angrily, "If you have a low fever, you should lower your temperature physically.Drink
more hot water and rest more.If your temperature is over 39 degrees celsius, you should rush to the
hospital immediately"

Christina was surprised even at the other side of the phone, but she refused to admit it, "I'm fine"

"Christina, you probably don't know.Every time you lie, you sound very guilty.I really don't know how
you survived...You are just like that little bastard Geoffrey."

Crystal complained about her.

Christina listened to her quietly.She felt that Crystal had changed and seemed to become mature.

"Crystal, you're becoming more and more like a mother."

Christina sighed with a heavy twang.

She remembered that Crystal's change seemed to have started since she went to the Stephenson
family.

So Christina cared about her best friend and asked, "Crystal, last time you said you wanted to quit.How
are you now..."



There was some noise from the other side of phone.

"Aunt Zhu, I'm hungry"

It was the voice of that little guy Geoffrey.

Then Christina heard that Crystal gritted her teeth and asked, "I saw with my own eyes that you ate
three pieces of pizza just now.How can you have the nerve to say you're hungry? Since you are full, go
aside and stay alone"

Children also had human rights, and he explained to Crystal in a childish voice, "But my stomach is
hungry.It coos.If you don't believe me, listen to it.It's hungry."

Crystal glanced at his round belly and sulked, "That's because you have been stuffed"

"Christina, what did you just say to me?" Christina felt speechless.

She hung up the phone in silence.

Geoffrey was pestering Crystal to play tricks on her.

It seemed that it was not easy for Crystal to resign.Crystal was very good at taking care of people.

"Crystal must be a good mother."

Inexplicably, Christina was a little depressed.

If it were her, she really didn't have the confidence to be a good mother.She was the only one in this
small apartment.

It was very cold and she felt lonely.



She ordered a takeout of porridge on her phone and sat absent-mindedly at the small tea table to eat it.

The TV in front of her was playing some entertainment news when she suddenly remembered another
friend of hers.

"It seems that Charles hasn't been on the entertainment section for a long time."

He even didn't appear in the tabloid news these days.She was really not used to it.She didn't have
many friends, and Charles was one of them.She didn't mean to chase him away that day, and now she
wondered if Charles would get angry with her.

Probably not.

He was innocent and optimistic so that it might be easy for him to recover.

She didn't dare to tell Charles about LUCY.

What if LUCY turned to deal with him? If Charles knew it, Patrick would soon know it as well...

"Patrick Hopkins" She put the spoon back into the bowl and repeated the name over and over again.

She was a little lost in thought.

"Miss Dickens, I said I had the child with me.Do you believe me?"

"You don't have to know who I am...You'd better cooperate with me.Don't ask why.I'm just informing
you."

"Mr.Hopkins drove a black Ferrari himself..."

A series of ringtones brought her thoughts back to reality.



Christina looked at the caller's id shown on the phone on the table and pursed her lips, feeling a little
disappointed.

She thought of him and thought the call might be made by him.It was not him.

"Auntie."

The call was from Betty.

"I heard from Crystal that you were very busy at work a while ago.Are you still getting used to it? Don't
make yourself too tired..." Betty spoke gently.

In fact, she had already known that Christina had recently gone to work at IP&G, but she avoided all
sensitive words related to the Hopkins family because she did not want to make both Christina and
herself feel awkward.

Christina knew clearly that Betty was a very considerate and dignified woman.

Betty was always willing to wait for others to tell her something that other people would choose to ask
directly.

If they were unwilling to talk about that, she wouldn't force them.

Christina liked her aunt because she was as considerate as Betty.

This made Christina even more confused about why Betty hated the Hopkins family so much.

Christina replied politely for a few words.

Ever since the car accident happened to the child that day, there had been a barrier between them.



They could not go back to their previous intimacy and were on guard against each other.

Christina couldn't find a topic to talk about.

She wanted to end the awkward conversation.

As for the accident that day, she didn't hate it anymore.

Betty was not good at finding topics either, but she had something serious to talk about today, "Do you
remember Zerger? He was a comrade of your grandfather's.Our Eisenhower family had a good
relationship with them.Later, their whole family emigrated and we lost contact with each other.Recently,
they specially came back to find me.After learning about the situation, they wanted to invite us to go to
Iceland together.They said that life there was very comfortable and peaceful."

"Christina, do you want to go to Iceland?"

"I don't want to leave A City for the time being."

Christina herself did not know why she added ‘for the time being’.

Perhaps she was tired of this city deep down in her heart.

She was not sure if she would stay in the city in the future, but she was reluctant to leave.

"It's okay.You can think about it."

Betty didn’t force her and even hung up the phone gently and slowly.

Christina went into the bathroom to take a shower.

There were so many things bothering her that she tried to empty her mind and not to think about
anything.



The warm water dripping from her head gradually calmed her down.

She simply put on a bathrobe and came out to the small living room.

She was busy tidying up the takeout boxes on the table.

There was a lot of garbage in the kitchen, so she decided to make a clean-up and she even cleaned
the bedroom.

Finally, she packed a few bags of garbage and prepared to go downstairs to throw them away.

One bag of trash, two bags of trash...

Christina rarely did housework so seriously.

However, when she stood outside her house and saw the door slam shut, she realized that she had
forgotten to bring the key out.

"Oh no.A nervous expression which was rarely seen appeared on her face and she immediately
rummaged through the pockets of her coat.They were empty.

There were no keys, no money, no cell phone...

And she hadn't worn the underwear.

In the middle of the night, she was alone at home.She planned to put on a long thick coat and go out to
throw away the garbage.

After that, she had intended to immediately come back to sleep.

So she was too lazy to put on her underwear...She stared at the door of Room 402, feeling homeless.



Christina suddenly thought of something.She raised her head.What about the resident of Room 502
upstairs…
