Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 21: Your Husband Is So Considerate 

Christina heard the voice and immediately turned to look.

"Leo.’’ She was indeed in this tiled house just now.

Fortunately, Leo, saved her.

She was very grateful.

Christina walked to the man and spoke in a gentle manner.

She didn't look like the person who had been cold to Patrick.

Dark clouds rumbled in the sky with thunder and lightning roared.

On a rainy night, several people walked along the rugged mountain road and came to a cave house finally.

"A few days ago, our village had been informed of the relocation because of the torrential rain.There is no one living down the mountain.The river has already surged up.The mountain road you are going back to is very dangerous with the torrential flood at any time.You'd better stay here for the night..."

With the help of this warmhearted villager, Leo, they followed him to a simple but spacious cave house.

"Is it safe here?"

Charles looked at the howling storm outside and felt a little uneasy.

"Don't worry.This mountain is built of the hard granite, so the cave here is very strong.’’ After hearing what he said, they were slightly relieved.

It was a bad day, and they encountered a terrible condition.

They would be drowned by a torrential flood and mudflow if they were not alert.

"Light more fire, take off your clothes, and dry them."

Leo went into the kitchen and brought out a large pile of firewood.

Without any hesitation, Charles and the others quickly piled up the firewood and took off their sticky clothes.

When Christina saw these men taking off their clothes together, she immediately turned around awkwardly.

"Don't take off your trousers.’’ Patrick, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

When Charles heard him, he remembered that Christina was there.

"No signal.We can't get through with anyone else"

While they were lighting the fire, they discussed.

"Cory and others should find a place to shelter from the rain..."

Christina was a little surprised when she heard the name, Cory.

Patrick's eyes had been fixed on her, so the surprise on her was clearly seen.

He pursed his lips tightly and didn't say anything.

"You can call me Anna.I have some clean clothes.Come in to change with me."

In a short while, a plainly dressed woman came out of the inner room and smiled kindly at Christina.

Christina nodded at her.

"Thank you."

Christina was 1.68 meters tall.

Anna's dark blue cotton- padded jacket and her long-sleeved trousers were much shorter in her, but now she didn't care about it, so she thanked Anna and walked out.

Anna came out with her and saw the bruises on her fair wrists and ankles.

She was shocked, "How did you get all these bruises? Oh God, they had inflammation”

As soon as Anna said so, Patrick stepped forward subconsciously.

Christina looked up at him as if she was afraid of him, and instinctively took a step back.

When Patrick saw her like this, he turned his gaze as if he had not been looking at her before.

"We have some iodophor disinfectant at home.Let me help you to apply.."

Anna ran back to her room to get the disinfectant and apply it to Christina.

After that, Christina's hands and feet became blue.

The disinfectant made her a little bit hurt, but she only frowned slightly and tried not to make too much expression.

A small round clock hung in the cave.

It was only around 7 pm, but it was dark and thunderous outside.

They had to endure this rainy night.

There was no furniture in the cave, only a few wooden chairs and a round dining table in the main room.

After a while, Anna treated a pot of sweet potato porridge to them.

"We're not hungry, thank you."

Charles knew that the family had not prepared dinner for them before.

Now that they were sheltering from the rain in their house, they thought they couldn't eat their food for free.

After thinking about it, he looked at Christina.

"Christina, you should eat some.You're pregnant.’

As soon as Charles said this, everyone else looked at her.

Anna was serving her a bowl, and Christina was looking at the sweet potato porridge in front of her with a worried expression.

Now that so many people were staring at her, she looked a little embarrassed.

She didn't like sweet potato porridge...

"Pregnant?"

Anna, on the other hand, got excited and looked at Christina with a bright look.

"God.How can you give birth to a baby since you're so skinny? You need to get more nourishment."

With that, Anna ran into the kitchen and muttered, "I have two more eggs.I made them for you..."

Christina didn't know how to react when she saw how enthusiastic Anna was.

She didn't like eggs.

Christina really hated her bad habit of being picky about food.

She had this bad habit in the Dickens Family when she was a child, so it was hard for her to correct her bad habits even if she wanted to.

She was embarrassed and ran into the kitchen.

"Anna, I can have porridge or steamed buns.You don't have to make eggs for me…”

Just as Christina entered the kitchen, Patrick ordered a few people to ask Leo for a flashlight and some tools, and then opened the door and walked out.

"Although the storm is heavy, tomorrow morning will be fine.There's no need to go out now..."

"What's wrong?"

When Anna and Christina came out again, they found a few people had gone out.

Leo sighed.

"He said he would go out to get something to eat."

"How can he get food on this rainy day? Why don't you stop them? It's dangerous outside.If..."

Anna scolded her husband.

Leo looked helpless.

"I can't stop him.’’ He was a little afraid of the man, Mr.Hopkins.

Christina's face darkened as she looked at the door, her expression becoming a little complicated."No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do.Leave them alone.’

She said something with an ambiguous meaning and implied Anna did not blame her husband.

Anna was a little worried.

Looking at Christina's complicated face, she asked curiously, "Girl, you should all be from the city.I heard they came to look for you.Why did you come to this remote village?"

"Come to find me?" She wondered.

Christina froze and retorted in a low voice, "No.They are not here for me.’

How could he have come looking for her? There was no electricity in the cave.

In the middle of the shabby room was equipped with an oil and gas lamp.

Under the dim yellow light, their shadows swayed.

They ate the porridge in silence and looked at the door with worried eyes from time to time.

"Why did he suddenly run out in this heavy rain.’

"These young people are not familiar with the mountain roads.I'd better go out and take a look..." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Leo couldn't stop worrying and was about to go out in his draft clothes and straw hat.

Anna looked anxious, grabbed him, and whispered, "It's raining so hard.Thunder and lightning are roaring.You don't have a flashlight, and if you fall down the hill accidentally, what am I supposed to do..."

Christina looked at the simple couple and hated Patrick more in her heart.

‘It is a stormy day, after causing this couple trouble, they actually made them worried.

He thought he was a specially privileged person, so everyone should listen to him? He is really annoying.

"Don't worry.I'm very familiar with this area.Nothing dangerous will happen."

Leo patted his wife on the shoulder and pushed the door to get out.

But as soon as the door opened, Patrick and the others came back.

They were drenched and looked disheveled, but with a large net in their hands, there were more than twenty pounds of fish in the net.

"You went to the river to fish?"

Seeing that they had returned safely, Anna heaved a sigh of relief and rushed forward to help.

"No, we'll do it ourselves.’’ Patrick looked up at Anna and said in a deep voice.

Anna looked at his stern face and was startled.

She only felt that this man was very noble and handsome.

No wonder her husband did not dare to talk to him.

Anna was really worried that those men would destroy her kitchen, but she didn't dare to stop them.

Christina saw Anna's helpless expression and was angry.

She started walking towards the kitchen.

They were just guests.

And they showed no respect for the host just because they were rich.

"Patrick, that's awesome.You can kill the fish."

Charles yelled excitedly in the kitchen, holding a large iron pot in his hand and drooling.

"This fried fish looked good.Make more..."

Christina froze outside the kitchen.

She was very surprised.

‘‘Patrick actually knows how to cook.A man like him actually knows how to cook..”

"Charles, come to help me!"

Patrick seemed to have sensed something and turned around to look at the kitchen door.

Christina was not there anymore.

With a cold face, he handed the long bamboo chopsticks for the fried fish into Charles's hand.

"Do it yourself"

"I'm afraid of boiling oil.Patrick, your cook is better than me...What are you doing?"

Charles seldom went to the kitchen.He didn't know how to cock oily fish.

Patrick ignored him, and in the kitchen, Charles howled because of the splashed boiling oil.

Finally, he came out with a big pot of crispy fried fish, satisfied.

"Come on, guys.I made some fried fish.Come to have a taste."

Charles was shameless and asked the others to come over to eat.

Although Christina was dissatisfied with Charles and the others, the fried fish seemed to be attempting and she was really hungry.

"This is for you.’ When Patrick came out, he held a rough porcelain bowl in his hand and placed it in front of her.

Charles craned his neck to see what it was.

"Braised eel with black beans?"

Anna took the lead and smiled at Christina.

"Your husband is so considerate.This is good for your baby.You should eat more.’

Her words "Your husband" made Christina's face immediately gloomy.

"No."

She did not even look at Patrick, but coldly refused.

She was not qualified to eat what this noble prince had cooked! Patrick seemed to have guessed that she wasn't willing to eat.

He stepped forward, with his clothes still wet, suppressing his emotions.

"Come on.’

"Come on?!!!"

Christina was furious.

It was as if she was messing around, but he was the one who made her in this bad situation! The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Charles looked at Christina's unhappy face and explained slowly, "Christina, we didn't send the person to take you away...’

"Shut up!"

Patrick yelled before he could finish.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others noticed that Christina's eyes were red, probably because she had remembered what happened to her before.

"Is there any misunderstanding?"

Anna looked at Christina with a curious look.

She shook her head and whispered, "I'm not hungry.’’

She walked into the inner room as if she didn’t want to see him.

"Patrick, if you don't explain to her clearly, she will hate you..." Charles sighed.

Charles found it strange that Patrick actually knew Christina was picky about food, after all, they didn't know each other well.
