Christina went home drenched.
Her clothes and long hair were wet through, but she didn't care about it.
Betty opened the door for them, and saw Christina in such a mess.
"Auntie, I'm hungry" Christina said.
Betty felt helpless.
She glanced at Patrick, who was standing beside Christina, putting away a small umbrella.
He stood straight as he always did, but now he didn't seem as cold as he used to be.
Betty sensed that there was more tenderness on his handsome face.
Strangely, Patrick was not drenched.
"Your father and grandmother went home early from the hospital.He'll definitely complain if he sees you in such a mess."
Betty grumbled at Christina.
Actually, getting wet was not a big deal, especially for her niece who always hurt herself before.
Maybe Christina just wanted to bathe in the rain.
"Stay here."
Betty then hurried to get a clean towel.
"Okay:"
Christina stood at the door.
Water was dripping down her body, and her long black hair was sticking to her fair face.She was like Sadako.
"Patrick, go in."
She turned to look at the man beside her.
There were beads of rain on her long eyelashes, and her clear eyes were pure and beautiful.
But Patrick did not move.
He looked at her affectionately, and gently stroked her hair sticking to her cheeks with his big palm.
"Do I look like a ghost now?" She smiled.
Patrick, who had always been cold, chuckled.
Without saying anything, he smoothed her hair back.
He looked at her quietly, his eyes focused and gentle.
Christina felt a little awkward.
She turned her face slightly and subconsciously took a step back.
However, Patrick pulled her back quickly, carried her tightly in his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her.
His lips were hot and he kissed hard.
Christina was drenched in the rain, and her cheeks was a little cold.
Now, Patrick suddenly kissed her, and she could clearly feel his burning body.
Her mind went blank for a moment and didn’t wrench herself free until she saw Betty coming over with a big towel.
Christina blushed and immediately pushed him away.
Oh, how embarrassing.
Betty was very surprised.
