"What's wrong?"
Patrick gazed down at the woman in front of him.
She was obviously unhappy.
Christina glanced at him and lowered her head in silence.
"By the way, didn't Chandler say he was coming over? I haven't seen him in years..."
Barbara suddenly asked with a stiff smile on her face.
Charles answered, "You surly haven't seen Chandler for long.His son is already five now."
"His child must be very gentle and handsome."
Hearing that, Patrick said calmly, "Chandler will come with that child today..."
Though Patrick was indifferent, he liked that smart kid.
Charles also liked that kid and smiled merrily.
"Barbara, when you see that little boy whose name is Geoffrey, you will definitely like him.He looks as innocent as Chandler, but in fact, very cunning and scheming."
As they were talking about the past, Christina sat quietly by their side.
She did not say anything, as she couldn't really have an opinion on it.
"Perhaps that woman would come as well.Forget it.It's a rare chance for us to get together.That kind of people will just spoil the fun."
Charles spoke directly, a bit irritated.
"After all, she's Chandler's wife, and Geoffrey's mother.Charles, don't look so bothered"
Barbara exhorted her, raising the glass in her hand and clinking it joyfully with him.
Christina couldn't understand what they were talking about, but Chandler's wife didn't seem to be very welcomed by Charles's words.
"Wanna go home?"
The man beside her said in a low voice.
She was stunned and a little dull.
She looked at Patrick holding her right wrapped hand.
He rubbed her wound with slight pressure, but it was more like a stroke.
Although she didn't understand their conversation and their past, at least he didn't leave her alone.
"No, I was thinking that you do have a lot of friends."
Suddenly, her tone was a little awkward.
She really didn't understand Patrick's life, let alone his circle.
This so-called orientation aimed to expand Barbara's domestic connections.
