Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 42: Six Years Ago 

Being stared like this, Cecilia held his arm intimately, "Patrick, I'm glad you came to see me," said she with a bright smile.

"Our crew has been filming in this high school recently..."

Cecilia looked at the man in front of her and blushed.

She asked him shyly, "Patrick, what do you think of my student look? Is it nice?"

It was a one billion dollar remake of the television series by Universe Studio, which was about a daring and honest female student in the Republican period.

In an accident, the female student saved the life of the most powerful and handsome young warlord of the time.

The drama depicted the misunderstanding between the lovers, and the touching story of their life and death together in the revolutionary cause.

The original female lead of the show was not Cecilia, and the media did not think much of her for the sudden change in the lead role.

After all, Cecilia's delicate temperament was very different from the female lead's personality in the script.

Patrick's eyes gazed down at her face thoughtfully.

"It is," he replied in a low voice.

Cecilia held his arm intimately and was flattered to hear him praising her.

She understood that with Patrick's cool personality, he was unlikely to praise others.

At this moment, she looked at his handsome profile, and she became more and more proud.

"Cecilia, you have to work hard.With Mr.Hopkins supporting you like this, you have to make an effort.Don't let those people outside look down on you."

Cecilia's manager walked up to them with a fawning smile.

"Mr.Hopkins, you came to visit us.Do you want to go in and rest for a while?"

Manager Anne asked with a smile, her eyes filled with joy.

Everyone in the entertainment business guessed who Cecilia's sugar daddy was.

If Patrick was willing to show up today, then in the future...the producers and directors had to be subservient to Patrick.

Patrick ignored the manager and looked around with a complicated look.

This high school...still looked like it was six years ago, but...

"I just passed by here..." Patrick said in a cold voice.

He withdrew his hand and pushed Cecilia away.

He didn't come here to visit Cecilia.

Cecilia looked embarrassed as she watched him stride towards the campus alone, completely ignoring her.

Cecilia thought, "Patrick isn't here for me.So why did he come here?"

The manager quickly gave Cecilia a push and whispered, "Mr.Hopkins seems to be in a bad mood.Follow him and be careful to pacify him..."

When a man was lost, he always yearned for the gentleness of a woman the most.

"Patrick, is it something wrong with the company?"

Cecilia trotted after him, her voice softly caring.

Patrick glanced at her face from the corner of his eye and ignored her, but did not say anything to drive her away.

The two walked around the campus quietly and randomly.

Cecilia found that he was very familiar with the school.

She wanted to ask more questions, but looking at his cold profile, she did not dare to speak.

Patrick was such an indifferent man.

His aloof and cool temperament always made people cautious and not dare to approach him.

This century-old high school had a long history.

Because the film crew was filming in the front school building and the students were on holiday, there was no one at the back door of the school.

Patrick strode out of the back door of the school.

Immediately, a milk tea shop came into his sight.

He suddenly stopped and looked at the milk tea shop across the street.

"Patrick,'’ Cecilia called him softly.

She looked at the milk tea shop across the street, her expression suppressing complicated emotions.Cecilia wanted to ask him something.

"Patrick, you used to go to that store a lot?"

She pointed nervously at the milk tea shop across the street.

"Very sweet."

Patrick seemed to be reminiscing and said two words.

Those milk teas were too sweet.

He didn't like sweets very much, but...

His gaze deepened as he looked at the milk tea shop opposite him.

It was as if he had returned to the past and he was standing here, while the woman of the night shift at the window of the milk tea shop opposite him was still busy.

She made all the milk tea personally.

Cecilia was stunned when she heard what he said.

She didn't know what he was thinking.

But his gaze made her cheeks redder.

She looked up at him shyly, like a young girl who had just fallen in love ‘Six years ago, he was the one who sent people to buy milk tea in large quantities!’ She was filled with excitement and joy.

"Then is it because.."

Cecilia's voice grew softer, suppressing excitement and anticipation.

"..Because it’s a hassle to change jobs...leave work early.’’ Patrick dropped a confusing sentence.

He turned his eyes sideways and stopped looking at the milk tea shop opposite him as if nothing had attracted him there.

He strode straight down the school road back to the front gate...

Cecilia was frozen in place.

"What did he mean?"

Her expression was complicated as she watched the heroic figure in front of her slowly leave...

‘‘What did he mean by those words?'’ Somehow, Cecilia felt a surge of uneasiness in her heart.

Six years ago, the milk tea shop opposite was about to close, but in the next six months, it sold nearly a million cups of milk tea.

This amazing amount of milk tea brought this small shop back to life, and it had been thriving ever since...

Cecilia knew very well since this milk tea shop was owned by her mother.

Six years ago, she had noticed that her milk tea shop often had salespeople come in the middle of the night to place large orders and the required time was very loose, a week or a half months would be fine.

It wasn't buying milk tea at all, it was like directly sending money to the shop.

"It was Patrick who sent someone over.It was really him..."

But, "Didn't he do it that year because he wanted to help my family? What was the reason..."

Cecilia's face turned pale.Could it be...

"So it's the Young Master of Hopkins Family.No wonder you took my role!"

Suddenly, a tall and arrogant figure strode up behind her, and Connie's voice was full of sarcasm.

Cecilia heard the voice and quickly turned around, raising her chin haughtily, looking at the other party."Connie."

She mumbled the name in disdain.

Cecilia stepped forward with a fake smile on her face.

"It's true that Patrick is helping me.Jealous?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Connie glared at her.

"Cecilia, how dare you!"

This mega-budgeted remake of Universe Studio was making a huge splash from the media to the publicity.

Since last year, famous actors from all over the nation have been competing for the lead role.

She had a hard time getting through and taking the female lead position, everything was done, but in the end, the role was snatched away by Cecilia.

Connie gritted her teeth angrily as she looked at Cecilia's smug arrogance, but...

"Cecilia, I hate your face every time I see it.Do you know why?"

Connie suddenly calmed down, as if something had made her very happy, and laughed out loud.

"Because your face is almost the same as my daughter, Christina.Hahaha..."

Cecilia was originally proud to refute, but when she heard the name "Christina” her expression suddenly flashed with a complicated look.

"What did you say? Christina?"

Her voice was shrill with excitement.

"Oh, you don't know.The Christina who Patrick married is my daughter..."

Connie looked at her change of face, and she became more satisfied, grinning.

"How is it? You must be surprised.Few people know that the divorced single woman who lives in a shabby apartment in A City is actually the only daughter of Donald, the richest man in C City."

When Cecilia heard this, her face turned gloomy.

In the morning, she laughed at Christina's lowly background...

Christina actually was...

"My daughter is amazing.She's stubborn and has cut ties with the Dickens Family.She started working in her third year of high school to support herself, and she has to take care of that sick aunt.Cecilia, don't underestimate her."

"No matter where Christina went to work, someone would secretly help her.With Patrick's support, you really think of yourself as someone.You're nothing...You and Patrick were in love for three years, and you weren't pregnant.In the end, Christina just slept with him for one night and got pregnant..."

Connie watched as Cecilia's face turned grim, unable to suppress her jealousy and anger, Connie laughed louder.

"Cecilia, we are all in the entertainment business.There are some things we all know very well.If a man does not want you to carry his child, no matter how long you pester him, there is no point.A mistress will always be just a mistress..."

"Shut up!"

Cecilia seemed to be enraged.

She raised her hand with sharp nails and threw it angrily at Connie, who was shouting at her.

Connie was not an easy target either.

She took a big step back and stared at the livid woman opposite her.

She coldly threw down a sentence, "Cecilia, you're not hiding any secrets about your face from Patrick, are you?"

Connie's tone was frightening.

If Cecilia dared to conceal something from Patrick, then...it would be Cecilia who would end up unlucky.

Cecilia's expression froze as if she were guilty, and she said, "Connie, we'll see!"

With that, Cecilia strode around angrily and left.

Connie looked at her back and sneered.

"Christina and Cecilia..."

No matter who won or lost, it was a good show for her.

"What's wrong..."

"Well, what exactly happened here…’’

As soon as manager Anne opened the door of the lounge, she looked in astonishment at the mess in the room.

"Get out, get out of here -"

Cecilia's face was extremely gloomy, and she angrily swept all the makeup equipment in front of the dressing table to the ground, shattering the glass bottles and splashing all over the floor...

Anne looked nervous and quickly closed the door to the lounge.

"Cecilia, calm down.There are a lot of big directors and producers out there.It would affect your image..."

"What happened? Didn't you just walk around campus with Patrick on good terms? Did you make him angry?"

When Cecilia heard Patrick's name, she suppressed a sense of guilt and horror.

She turned around and grabbed a large ceramic plate on the counter and threw it on the floor as if she were venting.

"That's impossible! The woman in his pocket watch can't be her...Impossible!"

She shouted incoherently.

Anne heard her mention her pocket watch and immediately asked nervously, "What's wrong? Did Patrick know about your plastic surgery?"

"Three years ago, I told you not to jump into the river and pretend to be dead.You just insisted on making a scene and say you didn't want to be a substitute for that woman in the pocket watch, but now..."

Anne was also anxious.

Cecilia's eyes were bloodshot, and she turned to the manager angrily.

"Three years ago, I had a plastic surgery sequela.I had no choice.You think I don't want to marry into Hopkins Family?"

Cecilia thought, "I almost became the Young Madam of Hopkins Family!"

But now it was Christina he married.

"Christina,’ Cecilia muttered the name in a cold voice.

The thought of the woman's face made her feel uneasy...

"Where are you going now?"

When the manager saw Cecilia's cold face and sudden stride out, she rushed to catch up with Cecilia.

Cecilia's expression was sinister, and she said coldly, "I'm going to get rid of those eyesore things today...’’
