Chapter 965 Moving into the Mansion
"The money you spent on me, I will pay you back every penny. As for marriage, I won't listen to you." After saying that, Christina picked up her suitcase and turned to leave.
"Christina, stop right there!"
Renee's shouting did not affect Christina's steps. Renee was so angry that she clutched her chest, looking like she was about to faint.
"Dad, Renee, don't be angry." Cheryl pretended to be obedient and stepped forward to support Renee's hand. "Christina is being unreasonable, but you still have me! I will definitely find a good husband in the future and not disappoint you."
Renee held her hand with a look of relief. "Luckily, we still have you. Christina was quite sensible when she was young. I don't know what happened to her now!"
"It's because you didn't educate her well!" Jared growled in a low voice. "Since she wants to leave, she doesn't need to come back!"
Renee was silenced by his roar and didn't dare to say a word while sitting beside him.
Walking out of the Russell family, Christina let out a long sigh of relief, feeling like she had been reborn.
From today on, she could live the life she wanted and no longer had to wrong herself for others.
"Ms. Russell, please get in the car." Billy opened the car door for her and took her suitcase.
Christina thanked him and got into the car.
On the way to the Mitchell villa, she thought of the man named Bernard and started to feel nervous.
For the next year, she would be living with the strange man and integrating into a new big family. She didn't know if she could do it well.
"Ms. Russell, we have arrived."
This time, Billy took her to the Mitchell Villa, and Christina's mood was completely different.
What a big, grand yard.
For the next year, this would be her home.
She also needed to use this year to plan for her future life.
As soon as Christina walked in, she saw two elderly people sitting on the sofa, smiling at her.
Christina quickly stood still, looking at them nervously. "Sorry, I'm here to see Bernard."
Hellen smiled and spoke, "You must be Christina, right?"
Christina was surprised that the two elderly people knew her name. "Yes, I'm Christina."
Hellen smiled and looked her up and down a few times with a scrutinizing gaze. "You are quite pretty, but besides being pretty, there doesn't seem to be anything special about you. How did you make Bernard so determined to marry you?"
From Hellen's tone, Christina could tell they were probably Bernard's elders.
She quickly took a few steps forward, bowed respectfully, and smiled as she explained, "Sorry, Bernard hasn't introduced me to the elders in the family yet, but I think you two must be very important to him. Hello, I'm Christina."
Hellen was a bit surprised. She had originally thought that Christina, who came from no significant family background, would not be poised and elegant, but the Christina in front of her was quite composed, which improved her impression of her a bit.
"We are Bernard's grandparents. We heard that Bernard is going to marry you." Hellen pointed to the sofa beside her. "Have a seat."
Hearing that they were Bernard's grandparents, Christina became even more nervous and obediently sat down beside them.
"Bernard never mentioned you before. Can I ask how you and Bernard met?"
Facing Hellen's question, Christina was a bit nervous. She couldn't possibly tell Hellen that they met because they accidentally slept together after entering the wrong room last night, right?
Bernard hadn't told her how to explain it without giving it away!
"We..."
Christina hesitated for a long time before speaking. "I encountered some trouble once, and Bernard helped me. Later, I thanked him, and that's how we got to know each other."
She deliberately answered vaguely.
"Is that so?" Hellen didn't fully believe Christina's words. "In my impression, Bernard is not someone who would play the hero."
Christina silently agreed with Hellen's words. Bernard seemed like a cold person who wouldn't care about things that didn't concern him.
"Maybe it was fate." To avoid revealing any flaws, Christina could only lie.
Hellen looked at Christina, who was very obedient, and found her different from the women who had appeared around Bernard before.
Of course, they had also investigated the Russell family and heard that Christina's reputation in the Russell family was not very good.
But the Christina in front of her seemed different from the rumors.
Christina felt uncomfortable being stared at by the two elderly people. She stood up to change the subject. "It's almost dinner time. How about I make you some dinner?"
Hearing this, Hellen was a bit surprised. "You can cook?"
"Yes, I'm very good at cooking!" When her parents were away, she was responsible for her and Cheryl's meals, which honed her cooking skills.
She was very confident in this aspect.
Hellen nodded, wanting to taste Christina's cooking, and agreed to let Christina go to the kitchen.
The Mitchell family's refrigerator was filled with fresh ingredients.
Christina was amazed for a moment, then quickly selected the ingredients she needed and made a few home-cooked dishes.
"Dinner is ready. Come and see if it suits your taste."
Hellen and Vincent came over together and looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, gained a newfound admiration for Christina.
They sat down to eat, and Christina was very considerate, often serving the elderly.
After the meal, Hellen had a better impression of Christina.
The woman that Bernard brought back was not bad!
After dinner, Christina originally wanted to wash the dishes, but Hellen stopped her. "From now on, let the staff handle these chores. You’re going to be Mrs. Mitchell of the Mitchell family, and you don’t need to do this kind of work."
Christina awkwardly nodded. She was used to doing these things at home.
"Come on, let's take a walk after eating. Christina, come with me to the yard." Hellen invited her kindly, holding her hand.
Christina naturally agreed and obediently accompanied Hellen.
Being held by Hellen in the yard, Christina felt a bit uncomfortable and wanted to pull her hand back several times but thought it was inappropriate.
"Christina, to be honest, I arranged several blind dates for Bernard before, but he refused them all. I originally thought he wasn't planning to get married, but today he surprised us by bringing you back!"
