Chapter 214
It was almost subconscious for her to turn to look at the door.She looked a little reserved.
Derek was a very gentle person, and he closed the door very carefully as if he knew that she would be afraid.
Betty, on the other hand, suddenly shook off her hand in angry.
She stepped hard, going straight back to the guest room on the left without looking at her again.
Betty didn't question her.She just brought her here, and...being cold to her.
Christina sat on the sofa in a daze.
She didn't know the reason for her leaving the Hopkins family.
It was only because her aunt wanted her to leave that she had to leave with her aunt.
But...
Why? Why was her aunt so angry? Was it because she didn't tell Betty about her accidental pregnancy and remarriage to Patrick? She didn't know.
Her mind was in a mess.
"I, I want my phone."
Suddenly, she looked up and shouted.
She knew that Derek was sitting opposite her, quietly accompanying her.
The man opposite her, whose blue eyes had been fixed on her, was not as angry as Betty.
He did not have many expressions on his face, he just stared at her gently.
Derek did not speak or ask.
He took out the phone from his suit and handed it to her.
Christina knew that he was always like this.
As long as she asked for it, he would bring it right in front of her.

He was the same as before.
She felt a little sad.
Looking into his clear blue eyes, she had a lot to ask him.
Where had he been all these years? And how had he been all these years? However, when she took the phone, she could not help but think of Patrick.
All she wanted to do was to call Patrick.
She wanted to tell him...She wanted to tell Patrick that she just left him temporarily...She had promised him that she would stay with him.
Christina was sitting huddled up on the side of the sofa.
It was daytime, but all the lights in the whole room were on.
Under the incandescent light, Christina looked anxious, holding a new black phone and dialing the same number again and again.
Still, no one answered.
She looked down at the automatically locked phone screen blankly.
She felt upset.
The man beside her did not say a word.
He quietly listened to the "The subscriber you dialed is busy" again and again.
Christina left her phone at the home of the Hopkins family.She called Patrick on Derek's phone.
What call Patrick received was a new unknown number.
No wonder Patrick refused to answer.
A faint sense of loss flashed across Christina's face.
She raised her head, pursed her lips, and forced a smile.
"I give up.Here you go..."
She handed the phone to Derek.
Derek was extremely handsome that anyone who had seen him would never forget his looks.
He was tall and thin, with slightly curled black hair and a handsome look.
His skin was fair and delicate.
And he had a straight nose and a pair of deep blue eyes.
His features were perfect as sculptures.
He slightly looked downed and glanced at the phone Christina handed him.He was as if hesitating something.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.
Christina was dazed for a moment.
When she saw Patrick's number on the screen, she felt excited.
"Who allowed you to call him?"
Before Christina could press the answer button, a scolding came from behind her and someone snatched the phone away.
"Give it back to me..."
Christina quickly turned her head and subconsciously raised her hand to snatch it back.
But when she met Betty's angry expression, her hand froze in midair.
"Auntie, I, I just want to..."
Christina stammered to explain.
Betty saw her hesitant look and heard the phone in her hand was still ringing.Betty became angrier.
"You are not allowed to contact anyone surnamed Hopkins ever!"
With a wave of Betty, the phone was slammed to the floor, and the ringtone disappeared in an instant.
"Why...Christina's heart trembled.
She looked at the woman in front of her, then at the smashed phone components on the floor.
She said in a low voice, "Auntie, why..."
