Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 218 

"I make you a fish soup.Don't eat the fish when you have the soup later.There are too many fishbones.I put wolfberries and ginger slices to avoid the fishy smell.If you don't like the red dates, you can pick them up..."

Betty knew Christina's preference very well.

She was busy killing fish, washing the stew pot, and adding Chinese herbs into it.

In the meantime, she turned around to remind Christina.

"You don't have to make it for me.I'm not so picky now."

Christina was a little ashamed.

Auntie, who was the daughter of the Eisenhower family, had been taken good care of since she was a child.

When they first left the Dickens family, their food was really hard to swallow.

After so many years of training, Christina's own cooking skills were still very poor, but Betty was proficient in all kinds of home-cooked dishes. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She was good at baking cakes, making desserts and sweet water.

"I've worked so hard to learn this.If I don't cook for you, who shall I cook for?"

Betty turned on the range hood very skillfully in the kitchen.

She was stewing the soup on the one side, and took out the beef marinated this morning for frying on the other side.

The afterglow in the west dimmed bit by bit.

Christina looked at the setting sun and felt a touch of happiness.

Life was like this.

Ordinary people, who were not good at those gorgeous and touching words, could touch people's hearts with simple words in an instant.

In fact, like Betty, Christina did not expect to be rich and powerful.

She was satisfied with a self-sufficient life.

"When you married Cory in the past, I had expressed my disapproval.Those people's life circle was too complicated for us.Now, you make such a big trouble while I was in the hospital.You have been pregnant for a few months.If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't let you keep the baby..."

Betty's voice came from the kitchen again.

She was obviously complaining but was not so angry.

The steak was quickly fried.

Christina, who smelled the aroma, got up to fetch a plate from the disinfection cabinet and handed it over.

Betty took the plate tacitly and said casually.

"Christina, you still have a long life ahead of you.Can you live with Patrick for the rest of your life?"

Christina froze on the spot in a daze and did not answer.

Betty was a little angry when seeing her expression, but after all, she was her niece.

If there were any faults, they must be attributed to those surnamed Hopkins.

She quickly arranged the aromatic steaks and asked Christina to bring them to the table.

Christina hurried to the table with two plates of steak as if to evade the question.

Then Betty quickly cooked a plate of green vegetables and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

The fish soup was not ready yet.

So she came out with two simple dishes.

"Listen to my words and take my advice.Don't play dumb."

Betty knew Christina's temperament very well.

"Oh"

Christina set the table by preparing two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks.

Since Derek didn't come to eat, the two could pay no attention to table manners.

They were much more at ease now than in the Hopkins family.

Christina picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of tomato into her mouth.

When chewing it, she replied perfunctorily.

"You are such a picky eater that you don't even eat eggs.You need nutrition when you're pregnant."

Betty also sat down, took a large porcelain spoon, and added a spoonful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in Christina's bowl.

Christina poked the eggs with her chopsticks as she didn't want to eat them, but she didn't dare to refuse.

So she swallowed them expressionlessly.

There were few people who could deal with Christina, and Betty was one of them.

Betty examined her bitter face which looked as if she was taking poison, feeling a little angry and a little amused.

"I've already told Derek not to be too accommodating to you.Sometimes he should be harsh to you..."

"Don't teach him a bad lesson."

She was a little surprised and did not understand why her aunt suddenly talked about this.

Betty was also not in a good mood when talking about Derek, because she had told Christina not to bully Derek all day long and Derek not to be too good-tempered many times.

Nevertheless, they were still the same, one willing to beat and another willing to be beaten.

"Tell me, which man in the second-generation circle is loyal? None.Just see how much love and affection Donald used to have with your mother.Even your grandfather praised Donald as a good son- in-law.But later Donald became rich and powerful while the Eisenhower family declined.He found a young and beautiful lover, Connie.Once a man changes his mind, he can do anything cruel.Donald said that your mother caused Connie to miscarry and sent her to prison.He did such ungrateful thing just for a lover.’

Though many years had passed, they still felt the hatred when they talked about it again despite their calm acceptance of the fact.
