"Christina has been in Hopkins Family for a while."
In the early spring morning, the sun rose earlier than it did in winter, and the grey sky gradually turned white. The old man stood beside the carved wooden fence in the corridor with the help of a walking stick, looking at a large area of precious flowers and plants which had just sprouted and overflowed with vigor in front of him.
Time flew.
The butler felt that the climate early in the morning was wet and came over with a thin coat in his hand. He smiled faintly. "Young Madam will give birth to twins at the end of the year, and Hopkins Family will be very lively."
"My mind is clear and my body is still very strong. I don't need this coat." Mr. Hopkins raised his right hand slightly and asked the butler to take the coat back. Mr. Hopkins turned his head and looked straight at the east side. With his mind full of thoughts, he muttered, "There's one thing..." There was one thing that Mr. Hopkins couldn't figure out.
"Old Master doesn't understand why Patrick is trying so hard to marry Christina?"
The butler remembered the old man's question in the dining room that did Christina and Patrick know each other before.
"It seems that Christina has no impression of Patrick..." The old butler paused and his expression became more solemn as he knew that his Patrick clearly kept her in mind.
"Do you remember that Oreo before?"
Mr. Hopkins walked slowly towards the pavilion at the end of the corridor and asked in a deep voice.
The butler followed behind him. When the butler heard the word "Oreo", he was startled for a moment, then nodded and answered, "Yes."
Of course, the butler remembered...
Oreo was the name of a puppy in Hopkins Family.
"Grandpa, he wants to eat my cookies."
When Patrick was three years old, he brought back a filthy Labrador from outside, which looked like an abandoned stray puppy.
How could their only Young Master in Hopkins Family have such a thing around him? It was too dirty and dangerous. The servants at home immediately nervously took the puppy away.
"It's mine."
The three-year-old boy's voice was a little childish, but his words were clear and his tone was firm.
A group of servants felt helpless as they saw their Young Master pull a long face, hold the dirty puppy in his short hands, and refuse to let go of it.
"You want to raise him?"
Mr. Hopkins did not dislike the stray puppy much, so he looked at the child and asked in a low voice.
Their Young Master was straight-faced. He thought about it, raised his head, and told the old man in a childish voice, "He has been following me all the way, secretly following me all the way..."
