Chapter 13
Dong!
It sounded as if some small metal object had fallen on the floor.
Christina woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the bathroom, but she forgot that she was in the Hopkins Family When she turned around, she accidentally hit the bedside table, and something fell on the floor.
She lowered her head and bent over to pick it up. It was a gold pocket watch.
Christina looked at the golden pocket watch in her palm and suddenly woke up.
“This pocket watch…” It looked familiar!
This was the pocket watch in Patrick’s
pocket that night when she snatched his coat. She had given this to the taxi drivers for the fare. Why
was it here?
She looked at it carefully, lifted the lid of the pocket watch, and found a small picture embedded in it…
“What are you doing!” Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the door.
Christina immediately hid the pocket watch behind her as if she guilty. She raised her head and saw
Patrick strode towards her.
Christina watched him approaching her and
glaring at her.
Yes, his eyes were fierce, as if something was making him angry.
“Take it out!”
“I’m sorry. I, I didn’t mean to…” He took efforts to get the pocket watch back, so it must mean a lot to him.
But just as Christina was about to apologize, Patrick seemed impatient and quickly extended his right
hand to grab her shoulder.
Patrick tightened his grip and held her. She
felt pain. He snatched the watch from her.
“Christina, do you really think that you will be my wife? You’re daydreaming?!” He sneered and said.
He was standing right in front of her. His tall figure made her feel a bit scared.
Christina raised her head and looked into his cold eyes. She was angry. “You think I want to marry you?
I don’t…”
“Heh, don’t pretend to be innocent and lofty. Is there a woman who doesn’t want to marry into the
Hopkins Family? Christina, do you
really think you’re special…”
Patrick lowered his head and glared at the face in front of him. His eyes were deep… With
reminiscence.
He seemed to be recalling something.
They were so close that Christina felt uncomfortable. She struggled to push him
away.
Patrick, on the other hand, was suppressing the growing irritation in his heart. When his eyes fell on her
bright red lips, he felt an inexplicable impulse.
Without saying a word, he kissed her on the lips, a bit fiercely.
Christina was stunned. There was a slight pain in her lips, and she tasted blood…
“Who does he think I am!” Christina was panicked and angry.
“Let me go!”
She raised her right hand and swung it at the man in front of her.
The moment she raised her hand, Patrick let go of her, as if her voice had broken his memories.
Patrick held her wrist in midair at an extremely fast speed and looked at her face again with only an
indifferent look in his eyes.

“Christina, remember why you are here. You’re here because you will give birth to my child! This is just
a deal. Don’t talk to me about your so-called love. Don’t say you will be loyal to some man. We are
adults, and it’s an adult’s game. Even dignity is worthless…”
His voice was cold and clear. He took off his coat and threw it at the end of the bed as if
he was very upset.
It was a game of adults, and dignity was worthless.
Christina was so angry, but he suddenly pinned her down on the bed and she couldn’t break free.
With both hands against his chest, she was filled with anxiety. “Don’t, don’t touch me…”
