Christina didn't know what Patrick and the others were talking about in the study, but it seemed to be something urgent.

They were busy from 8 to 12 in the morning and they declined lunch to continue working.

The door of the study remained closed.

She spent a drowsy afternoon in the bedroom next door until 6 at night when Nanny Faang knocked on her door and asked her what she wanted for dinner.

Christina got up and was about to open the door.

When she reached the door, she sensitively heard the sound of the doorknob turning in the study.She went out and walked towards the study.

Charles and the others did come out of the study.

Nanny Faang also walked over and asked, "Mr.Shepherd, do you want to stay for dinner?"

"No, I'm leaving now" Charles replied succinctly.

He took a few documents in his right hand and walked in a hurry.

When he passed Christina, he only glanced at her and didn't say a word.

Christina frowned as she watched him go downstairs and leave.She felt that Charles had something urgent to do.

He seemed to be nervous about something.

"Rest well..."

Chandler's voice came from the study, this should have been said to Patrick.

She was in a daze for a moment.She pushed the door of the study wide open with her right hand and walked in quickly.

Just as she entered, she almost bumped into Chandler, who was going out.

Chandler saw that she looked a little anxious and smiled gently at her.

"Please keep an eye on Patrick for us.Let us know if anything happens"

Christina heard his words but didn't understand.

Chandler didn't explain to her.

He walked past her calmly as usual but added in alow voice, "Stay with him."

Stayed with Patrick? Did he need it? She felt a little unusual, turned around, and saw that Chandler had already strode away.

Feeling a little heavy for some reason, she turned around and walked towards the study.
