Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 472

I had no choice.

I took the medicine and went back. After three days, the high fever once again faded bit by bit.

But I didn't let him go to kindergarten after then.

I went to work normally. Shelton hadn't called me these days.

When I was at work, I took my finished drawing to Nancy and Nancy asked me in passing, "How's Glenn going? I haven't heard of him from you recently. I feel that his illness is a bit abnormal. You should take him to have a good examination. Otherwise, if it's not an common cold, his best treatment time might be delayed."

"I will." I agreed and didn't say anything else.

The deal between Shelton and I was really something that couldn't be opened up to anyone.

Nancy and I have known each other for a long time. She knew my character.

Since I didn't say much, she put down the stuff in her hand and squinted at me. "What's the matter? Have you already known what's his disease now?"

I looked down and said nothing.

Nancy folded her arms in front of her chest and smiled at me. "Come on, do you need to ask for leave again?"

"Not for now." I paused and continued to say, "But I guess I need it later."

Asked for a wedding leave.

But I didn't speak it out.

"If the matter between me and Shelton is irreversible. Then, pregnancy and marriage," I thought.

"I'm probably going to choose the latter."

After all, I didn't want to be pregnant with Shelton's child at all.

"All right, great families have many affairs. I see." Nancy said as she tidied up the things on the table, "The design of our office building is coming to an end. If everything goes well, by this time next year, we should know when shall we move."

"That's great." I smiled.

In fact, I had always been looking forward to moving a new office building.

But there were too many things I needed to deal with recently, when Nancy said this, I was not as happy as before.

Nancy saw me like this. She put down the things in her hands and asked, "What happened? Tell me.

Let me help you."

"Nothing..."

"We are partners. You have something on your mind, which will affect the interests of both of us. Should I have the right to know about it?"

Nancy asked me seriously.

I trusted her very much. After thinking for a while, I told her what happened to Glenn.

Nancy listened and said with a heavy expression, "How could this be... He really is the best villain who pretends to be a gentleman."

I smiled bitterly. "I've messed with him. There's no way out anymore."

"Can't you get in touch with Patrick?" Nancy asked.

I shook my head. "I haven't reached him yet. I think Shelton had planned it long time ago and waited for Patrick to leave before coming to me."

Nancy stood up and patted me on the shoulder. "Alas, I really can't help you with this. It's up to you to decide. If you want to ask for leave, just go. Give me your work and I'll help you."

"Thank you, for your hard work. When I get this done, I will work overtime to help you do your work and give you a holiday." I said with a wry smile.

Nancy pinched my face. "I hope there is such a

day."

I just came back from Nancy's office and found a missed call on the phone on my table.

It was from Shelton.

The call came five minutes ago.

I was about to call back when Shelton called me again.

I picked up the phone, and he quickly said, "I thought you regretted it."

"How would I?"

"Well. At seven o'clock tonight, I'll pick you up at your door."

"OK."

After the short conversation, he did not say a word more and hung up the phone.

I was not surprised.

When I got out of work and got home, Glenn was playing Lego.

When he saw me come back, he picked up a corner of the castle he had just built, ran to me and said, "Mom, look! Without any help, I did it on my own!"

"Brilliant!" I said, stroking his hair.

Looking at such a good son, my mood was extremely complicated.

His face was full of smug smiles. "Of course, Dad said that I'm smart."

When he said dad, his eyes darkened. He looked up at me and asked, "Mom, when will daddy come back?"

"Your daddy..." I bit my lips, trying not to show my frustration. "It won't take long. Dad went to treat his legs. He'll be back after he's cured."

"Great!"

After hearing what I said, he went back with his Lego bricks. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

I looked at Glenn and felt even sadder.

I thought of the past, although Glenn didn't hate Shelton, they were not related by blood. Shelton can not compare with Patrick.

If Glenn knew that I would eventually marry Shelton, he would be so sad.

However, the reality did not allow me to think about this anymore.

I went upstairs to change my clothes, put on makeup. As soon as I went out, I saw Jessica.

Jessica looked at me and said with a charming smile on her face, "My daughter is so beautiful. Who are you going to meet?"

"I have a appointment."

I smiled slightly and responded to her.

Jessica asked again, "Is my son-in-law back?"

Son-in-law?

Oh, she meant Patrick. I always called Patrick her son- in- law because of the things happened among us and Kelsi and Katy before.

Although I was not sure whether Patrick would be her son-in-law, I had no need to tell her this now. I smiled and said, "No, it's about work." Then I looked at my watch and said, "Mom, time is up. I'll go first."

Then I went out.

When I arrived at the door, Shelton's car had stopped there. He was wearing a light yellow suit with dark patterns.

The color made him look very young.

I sat next to him. He looked at me and said with a smile, "Gorgeous."

"Thank you."

I looked ahead and didn't look at him.

As I grew older, I didn't want to pretend when I was obviously unhappy.

For my indifference, Shelton did not say anything. He started the car and drove straight to the road.

The car drove to Hilton Hotel's entrance. He stopped the car and handed the key to a staff member on the side of the car. He then bent his arm, leaving a large gap.

He gave me a wink.

I took a look and knew that he wanted me to hold his arm.

Although I was unwilling, for Glenn, I still stretched out my hand.

As soon as I took his arm, he clamped his arm, as if he was afraid that I would run away.

I stood by his side. The familiar smell of the sterilized water on his body was faint but hard to ignore.

For so many years, I could always smell this when I'm with him.

We got in the elevator and went to the banquet hall.

As soon as we entered, a waiter came over with several glasses of champagne.

Shelton picked up one and handed it to me.
