Chapter 34
Patrick had been very busy these days. Christina heard he went to New York
on business
Christina enjoyed the big bed when Patrick was abroad. However, Mr. Hopkins wanted her not to be so lazy. He also specifically told Patrick that no matter how busy he was, he had to come back on Sunday to teach!
She thought Patrick would ignore Old Master, but she didn’t expect him to agree to return before Sunday.
“Maybe he wants to come back to see
Miss Jones.”

Cecilia was so popular now that she could see her advertisement everywhere. It was all thanks to Patrick
“Cecilia, you’ve been on the popular search list ever since the kiss mark thing. Today, your fans are over ten million, and the advertisers are making an appointment.”
Anne, the manager, walked into the dressing room excitedly. Halfway through, she asked, “Cecilia, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?”
The woman in front of the dressing
table had completely lost her delicate
demeanor. She looked angry and turned around to scold the makeup
artist behind her. “Get out!
There were only the two of them left in the dressing room. The manager, Anne, thought for a while and asked, “Has Mr. Hopkins not come to see you since you jumped into the lake last time?”
Hearing this, Cecilia’s face became increasingly sullen.
Anne guessed suspiciously. “Could it be that Mr. Hopkins didn’t stay with you that day? Mr. Shepherd and I saw you two lying in bed.
“Stop saying!” Cecilia looked angry.
“Don’t be so angry. Even if Mr. Hopkins
didn’t stay for the night, at least he came over immediately when he heard
the news that you jumped into the
lake. He was still attentive to you… The manager comforted her slowly.
“Anne, do you know that I’m especially worried about that Christina in the Hopkins Family.” Cecilia said through clenched teeth
“Christina? The woman who got pregnant and married into Hopkins Family?” The manager was stunned for a moment and then smiled disdainfully.
“Cecilia, you don’t have to worry at all. That woman is just your substitute. Think about it. You’ve disappeared for
three years, and there are no other women around Mr. Hopkins. He only
thought of her as you that night
because he missed you so much. To be honest, I think that Christina is rather pitiful.”
“No!” Cecilia quickly retorted with suppressed uneasiness in her eyes, “Anne, you don’t know…
As she spoke, Cecilia’s expression became a little complicated and she hesitated to say, “I, I used to be with Patrick, but we, we never slept together
“What?! You never… Have sex!”
How could this be possible? The manager was shocked.
“I’m especially worried right now. This Christina is pregnant. If they fall in love with each other in the Hopkins Family,
Patrick will forget about me. Without

career…”
