Chapter 35
It was Lantern Festival today.
After breakfast with grandpa Christina returned to the villa and sat on the sofa of the living room, looking a little depressed.
“So today is Patrick’s birthday…”
Yesterday, they went to the parent child prospective parents’ classroom to attend a class. At that time, she noticed
that Patrick had some complicated
feelings about Lantern Festival and he
didn’t want to mention it.
“He didn’t want me to know his
birthday.” Was he afraid that I would
bother him?
Ever since she met Cecilia yesterday, she had been depressed.
Cecilia deliberately mentioned the tie he left overnight to provoke her.
But Christina Knew she wasn’t qualified to compete with Cecilia.
“Christina.” Suddenly a bantering voice came from outside the door.
She looked up at the door and was surprised. “Charles, what are you doing here? Patrick isn’t home. He’s probably back in the company.”
“On this special day, Patrick can’t go back to the company.” Charles said

living room table with wide by Christina, this is the birthday cake you bought, right?” He sounded frightened,
Christina looked down at the birthday cake on the table and sighed,
Charles frowned and sat down across from her, he asked seriously. “Christina, do you know today is Patrick’s birthday?”

terrible
“Hey, Charles, do you know why.” She asked curiously pointing at the birthday cake on the table.
“Hopkins Family never celebrates Lantern Festival.” Charles said in a deep voice, raising his eyebrows and looking at her
Christina looked a little surprised.
“Patrick doesn’t like people celebrating
his birthday. You’d better not let him
sce this birthday cake. I advise you to
throw it away.”
Charles remembered that six years
ago, their friends celebrated Patrick’s
birthday for him and… It was a disaster.
“I see.”
Christina answered in a low voice, and she didn’t ask much, because Patrick didn’t want her to know too much.
