My billionaire husband spoils me too much

Chapter 223

“I, I…” She thought she should make an explanation.

However, she couldn’t say it out loud.

Maybe Patrick’s strong aura just disturbed all her thoughts and made her panic.

“I, I’m back”

In the end, she said this in a low voice as if she was admitting her mistake.

Patrick carried her into his strong arms.

Christina’s body was soft and comfortable to hold.

Leaning his head which hadn’t got any rest in the whole night directly on her shoulder, Patrick pressed

his lips against her delicate neck, enjoying the special fragrance of her long hair.

He would hold her more and more tightly so that she couldn’t leave him anymore.

His heart that had been restless all night finally calmed down.

Christina was a little uncomfortable when being hugged so tightly by him.

As she turned her head and tried to push him away, she saw that the stubble on his chin.

He must have been very tired now because he had always been a neat person.

There was no need for her to feel embarrassed since she was already used to Patrick’s domineering

personality.

Nanny Faang walked past them downstairs with a relieved expression.

She knew that she should inform Patrick immediately, He must have been very delighted when he

heard Christina was back.

“Christina hasn’t had breakfast yet.”

Acrisp, magnetic, and pleasant voice came from the gate.

It was Derek.

Everyone in the room turned to look at the gate.

Even Nanny Faang was vacant for a second when she saw how handsome the man was.

Christina blushed and pushed Patrick away immediately.

She almost forgot that Derek was here with her.

Patrick let go of her easily and then stood up straight, looking at Derek coldly.

“I’ll have something to eat first…”

She answered awkwardly, following Nanny Faang towards the dining room.

In fact, she had been thinking about coming back here for some time.

Last night, she had been restless and couldn’t fall asleep at all.

After walking back and forth in the guest room worriedly for a while, she finally picked up Betty’s phone

in the living room secretly.

Her first thought in mind was to call Patrick but she controlled herself.

After a moment of consideration, she decided to call Derek.

She was a little worried that Patrick would scold her over the phone, so calling Derek was a better

choice. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

After all, Derek had been extremely tolerant of her ever since they were kids.

Without making any detailed explanations, Christina asked Derek to sneak over before Betty got up

early tomorrow morning.

At five in the morning the next day, Christina sneaked out with dark circles around her eyes to meet

Derek.

She said to him as soon as they met, “I want to go back to the Hopkins family.”

Then he sent her back.

“Junior Mrs.Hopkins, should I also prepare breakfast for that gentleman over there?”

Nanny Faang asked as she scooped her a bowl of porridge quickly.

“Don’t bother.Eric doesn’t eat at other people’s houses.And he’s leaving soon.”

The porridge was a little too hot, so Christina blew it anxiously, trying to fill herself up quickly.

It was obvious that Derek stayed because he wanted to make sure she wouldn’t skip her breakfast.

He agreed to drive her back to the Hopkins family and the first thing he had said to her when they

arrived was that she should have her breakfast first.

Derek was a little paranoid who looked at things differently from normal people.

His way of thinking was always direct and simple, so according to his logic, she should compromise to

have breakfast since he had compromised to send her back to the Hopkins family.

Derek was still waiting at the gate of Eastern Garden.

Sure enough, he was not in a hurry to leave.

“You are the one who sent her back?”

Patrick stared at him.

Both of them were standing still at a distance of about 3 meters between them.

Derek did not answer him again this time, whose deep blue eyes were, however, closely focused on

Patrick.

The two men had been close friends before, but now they just looked at each other like two strangers.

Derek wouldn’t tell anyone that the only reason he had sent Christina back was that she told him to.

Deep inside his heart, he didn’t want her to leave at all.

But she said, “I want to go back to the Hopkins family:’

She said, “Eric, I promised Patrick that I would go back.”

Lowering her head, she was begging him in a whisper with reddish eyes as if she was about to cry.

Derek had changed a lot over the years, but he still couldn’t bear the pain of seeing her cry.

He was always at a loss in front of her tears.

Derek’s blue eyes were beautiful, clean, and clear.

But they didn’t understand any feelings, not even hatred.

“Patrick Hopkins, you failed to protect her,”

Derek stated the fact in an indifferent voice.
