Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina)
Chapter 23: His Dead Ex Is Back
By daybreak, the next day, all three fires from last night had been burned out...
The rain had stopped.
Christina ate the steamed buns.
After thanking the enthusiastic couple, they wanted to rush back.
Because today was New Year's eve, everyone wanted to go home and reunite.
Christina took a peek at Patrick.
They had planned to go back to A City the day before yesterday to spend the New Year with Mr.Hopkins.
They didn't expect this to happen.
It seemed that they had to hurry back.
The Old Man had a bad temper.
But just as Christina was about to leave with them, Leo stopped her and said, "I think you had better stay here with us.’ "The torrential rain last night caused a mudslide that buried many farmlands and houses nearby.The surrounding residences were destroyed, making it harder to get through the mountain roads..."
Charles said with a rare seriousness, "Christina should stay.Now the hillsides will collapse at any time.The flood hasn't completely subsided.We'll send someone to pick her up when we get back..."
After all, Christina was pregnant, she couldn't exert herself too much since she was still weak.
The few of them looked at each other for a moment in silence, and then they all looked at Patrick.
Patrick took a look at Christina and suddenly strode to her.
Without saying anything, he held her hand and led her straight out the door.
"She's with me."
Charles and the others looked at each other, from Patrick's cold profile, knowing that his decision would not change.
"Then we are leaving now.Thank you so much for taking us in last night.’ Charles and the others then followed them.
"Patrick, I think it would be better for Christina to stay for another night."
Charles and the others plodded upward, winding their way back and forth across the face of the mountain with great difficulty.
They also had to pay careful attention to the surrounding mountains.
Patrick tightened his grip on her wrist as if he didn't care about Charles's words.
He looked around vigilantly and led her forward step by step.
"She's with me." He repeated again.
Patrick's deep eyes fell on the woman's face beside him...
Only by keeping her by his side would he be relieved.
Christina didn't know what he was thinking.
He held her too tight as her wrist hurt.
She looked up at him and said, "I, I can actually..."
"Christina, don't even think about it!"
Patrick said in a calm voice and immediately refuted.
Christina was depressed.
'Why is he so cold? I didn't even finish my words.”
After walking for about half an hour, a shallow river three meters wide appeared in front of them.
