Chapter 1596 Confusion

"It's supposed to be an auto repair shop, I don't know." Christina's answer was full of doubts and bewilderment.

Why did things become like this, Christina needs to find the answer.

"Tina, if you're willing to accept my advice... get rid of them." Aiden felt it was time to clarify some words, "They will only destroy you, sooner or later."

"I need to calm down, thank you." Christina hung up the phone helplessly, she was a little flustered.

Yes, she didn't know what to do with herself.

No matter how tough she is to the outside world, how hard she works at work, she will become excellent and capable.

But she is still the girl who longs for attention and the love and care of her family.

Without them, what would be left of me?

Alone in this world with no family, no friends, just a job and a growing bank account?

Christina didn't know, she was terrified and needed support and care.

Even if it was hypocritical, thinking about it seriously, Christina found that she actually knew that these things would happen sooner or later.

She was just avoiding, unwilling to face it, and trusting her own judgment.

Like a child who is afraid of the dark, burying his head in the quilt in the middle of the night, believing that in this way he can resist the damage from monsters and devils in the dark.

Ridiculous and sad, Christina wept silently and slid on the floor along the wall.

Durham.

Aiden just got off the phone with Christina, and she sounded bad.

"What happened?" Francis asked puzzled when he saw Aiden packing his luggage and preparing lunch.

Throwing the T-shirt casually into the bag, Aiden mentioned it and said; "I need to go back to New York and ask for leave for me, okay?"

"Is it very important?" Francis didn't understand, the exam was coming soon, what was so urgent.

"Yes." Smiling and nodding, Aiden walked downstairs and said as he walked, "You have to come with me, otherwise I will have to leave the car at the airport."

"Of course... I'll come as soon as I change my clothes." Francis returned to the room, quickly changed his clothes and went out with him.

On the way to the airport, Aiden has been absent-minded, and Francis wonders what the hell is going on.

But it can be seen from his attitude that he doesn't want to talk about it.

So, she could only let go of the doubts in her heart and pretend that nothing happened.

Now, she's just sending Aiden to the airport and back to New York for the holidays!

Francis said to himself in his heart.

...

"Peggy, open the door, I know you're inside." In front of the apartment door, Christina yelled with all her might.

The door of the room was slapped and slammed, and soon there was a curse from inside: "Damn it, who is yelling loudly, my head still hurts!"

It was Maddy who opened the door. Except for Christina, the eldest child in the family stood at the door with messy hair and sleepy eyes wearing only a pair of underwear.

Pushing him away, Christina walked into the room.

The living room is full of wine bottles, cigarette butts and food leftovers. There are streamers hanging on the wall. It looks like there was a lively party last night.

"Where's Peggy?" Christina called to Maddie.

Scratching his head casually, Maddie said in dissatisfaction: "Hey, are you talking to me? Be respectful...she hasn't come back yet."

"Where did she go?" Christina was not interested in pestering him, and now she just wanted to find Peggy and ask what was going on.

While talking, Peggy stood at the door with big bags and small bags, and said in a deep voice; "What happened here?"

"What did you do?" Christina yelled at her, reaching out and grabbing the bag in her hand, which was full of various luxury items.

"So, you bought these with my money, no investment at all, work!"

Snapped!

A slap was thrown on her face, Christina was stunned, and Peggy said coldly: "Pay attention to your attitude,

I am your mother. "

"Do you think of me as a daughter?" Christina asked after throwing away the package in her hand, covering her face and looking at her with reddened eyes.

She didn't allow herself to cry, all her tears and fragility should not be shown in front of them.

"What exactly do you want?" Christina wondered, exactly what it was they wanted.

money?

She gave them all the money, this apartment, everyone's tuition fees, daily expenses, all paid for by the money she earned.

Do they think these are easy and their work is easy?

She works 18 hours a day and is always on call. Any slight ringing of the phone will wake her up and jump out of bed to go to work.

"This is your home, we're your family, we're going to be together forever, sharing joy and pain, aren't we?"

After closing the door, Peggy's expression became milder, and she said sincerely as she wiped her cheek with her hand.

Her tone is very light, gentle like water, and she behaves like the best mother and family in the world.

The others looked at Christina strangely, like a pet trapped in a cage, and no matter what she did, she couldn't escape it.

That look terrified Christina, and she wanted to escape from this place, this damn place and this damn family, all this madness.

"Hey, where do you want to go?" As if sensing her thoughts, Peggy took her hand.

Christina broke free and shouted, "Let go of me, I'm leaving."

"No." Peggy said with a smile: "This is not your real thought, you are just too tired, work makes you physically and mentally exhausted, and you need the care of your family."

"Relax and sleep here, and you'll reintegrate into the family." When Peggy spoke, the other children were already blocking the door.

What frightened Christina was that Maddy had an extra rope in his hand at some point, and the scene of being locked up in the grocery room and the fear struck again.

bang bang bang!

There was a sudden knock on the door, with a dull knock.

Peggy's expression sank, she winked at Maddie, and he walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

bang bang bang.

The only response was a heavier knocking sound, and Christina took the opportunity to shout: "Help, help~"

"Shut up." Peggy rushed forward to cover her mouth, and others came to help.

Christina struggled desperately, the frequent knocking on the door stopped suddenly, and Maddie pressed his face against the door with some uncertainty, trying to determine what happened outside.

Boom!

The body flew upside down, the door frame exploded, and the door was kicked open.

Aiden strode in and shouted at Peggy, "Let her go."

"BOSS." Christina looked at him in surprise, never expecting him to appear here.

Like a divine soldier who arrived when she was most helpless, Christina was confused at this moment.
