Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 35

I pulled my hand out of Seth's hand with force.

But at this time, Angie had already walked to my side and stared at my wrist attentively which Seth had just held.

"Haven't you left yet?" When Seth saw Angie, it seemed that he didn't feel anything wrong with his behavior. Instead, he said to her, "Go back early and have a rest."

He was trying to drive her away.

Angie smiled slightly and nodded, "I'll leave now. I won't bother you anymore."

When she was about to turn around, Seth added, "Charlotte is my junior sister at college. You should take care of her more."

Angie stopped, looked at me, and said slowly, "Okay. Don't worry."

As they talked, I knew I was trapped.

After Angie left, Seth said that he wanted to take me to dinner.

I agreed first. After I got in the car, I pulled Seth's hand as he was going to turn the key.

Then I said, "Seth, I want to tell you something."

Seth seemed to realize what I was going to say. As he was about to say something, I raised my voice and said first, "I had an abortion in prison."

My words made Seth suddenly hold back what he was going to say.

I looked at him and told him everything about my pregnancy before I was put in prison and the fact that I was forced to abort my baby in the prison.

In the end, I added, "I went to the hospital for a check- up. According to the doctor, my uterus was damaged and I couldn't be pregnant for the rest of my life."

I lied to him, saying that I could never get pregant.

After all, Seth was so good that I didn't deserve him.

The way I saw it, men always wanted to have children of their own. So, Seth surely would mind this.

At that time, I did see the hesitation in Seth's eyes.

I thought I was right.

But, I didn't expect that he would suddenly hug me, "Charlotte, it turns out that you have suffered so much in prison. I'm sorry. It's my fault that I can't help you win the lawsuit."

I was stunned in his arms.

"Seth, I said I couldn't have a baby."

"If you can't, let it be. I don't mind."

Seth's behavior was completely beyond my expectation. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

I broke free from his embrace and looked at him. For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

However, Seth also realized that he had been pushing me too hard recently. So he offered that he would not look for me again unless at the weekend.

The next day, I continued to go to the hotel belonging to Cowell's Group. When I entered the hotel, Angie was talking to the relative person in charge of the hotel about some details.

When I went over, she just said that I should contact Tyler Todd.

Tyler Todd was the one in charge of this project in the Engineering Department.

For the whole day, I, who was a designer's assistant, did odds and ends for the staff in the Engineering Department.

In the meantime, I was looking for an opportunity to explain to Angie what had happened yesterday. But I didn't even see her.

When it was at noon and time for lunch, Tyler ordered meals for all the staff. But when the lunch was sent over, I realized that there wasn't any food for me.

Helplessly, I could only go out to have lunch and pay for it by myself.

When I came back, Angie pointed at me and scolded, "Charlotte Archer, what did you do? You don't know anything. So I let you learn from the basics. Why are you so neglectful?"

She stood in the hall while scolding me. Among the people coming and going, except for the workers, there was staff in the hotel.

As everyone heard her scolding me, they seemed to be enjoying a good show.

"I went out to have lunch," I replied.

"Having lunch? It took others 20 minutes to have lunch. And it took you an hour instead, right? Did the company hire you here for fun?"

Angie stood there with her hands crossed in front of her chest as she cursed me arrogantly.

In fact, I had been mistaken for the fact that the Engineering Department would book a meal for me as well. So I got delayed.

I knew Angie was deliberately trying to make things difficult for me. So I failed to hold myself back and retorted, "Angie, when it comes to chasing after a man, it is up to your capability. Mr. Hyde doesn't like you. So it's useless for you to vent your anger on me."
