Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 319

"No, my big brother provoked the gangsters for her! It used to a big taboo of his business. He used to tell me that I should never get involved with the gangsters. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get away from them. But he went their place for Charlotte."

Roger said excitedly.

I stood at the door, and my hand holding the door handle trembled slightly. Was it true?

Roger seemed to have taken a sip of water. I heard him put down his cup and continue, "My brother got into a fight with them because of this. He was nearly kidnapped at that time. He escaped by himself! He was seriously injured and one of his ribs was broken! He spent a long time recovering!"

"He was seriously injured?" Lisa seemed to be very surprised.

"Yes! At that time, my big brother was trying to protect her! And about Clark Kelsi, although the Kelsi family is doing legitimate business, in fact, they are also associated with the gangsters.

Otherwise, why should my big brother marry Clark? He just wanted to protect Charlotte. He was injured, got involved with the gangsters, and married the woman he didn't love.

What about Charlotte? She's been with Shelton for quite a few years. Is she worthy of my brother's sacrifice?"

Roger complained on the other side of the door, and I heard every single word of his complaints. My heart was aching terribly.

So this was the truth?

Why didn't Patrick tell me?

If he told me, I would definitely wait for him...

Lisa thought what I was thinking. "Why don't Patrick say anything? Does he think he is cool to say nothing?"

At this time, I finally couldn't help but go out and looked at Roger. "In the past few years when I was away, how was Patrick?"

I had made up my mind.

I wanted to know how he had been in the past few years.

When Roger saw me, he suddenly covered his mouth and immediately stood up. "Oh, I shouldn't say that. If my big brother knows that I told you this, he'll definitely beat me to death!" "So tell me, how has he been in the past few years?"

I looked at him quietly.

I could not help but feel a stab of pain in my heart.

Roger looked at me with a complicated expression. After a while, he said, "He thought you were dead. Of course, he was devastated. He bought you a grave for two people and said that he wanted to bury himself with you after he died. During a period of time, my big brother stayed in front of your grave every day..."

"Grave? Where is it?" I looked at Roger.

"It's..." Roger hesitated for a moment and then said, "Alas, forget it. Since I've already spilled the beans, I'll tell you all about it. It's in the third region of the Eastern Tombs."

"Thank you." I secretly remembered the address.

Roger sat down again. "My brother is sincere to you, but I don't know why you don't feel it. After pulling himself together, he became a workaholic. He almost lived in the company. We kept asking him to come out for parties, but he always refused!"

It turned out that Patrick had been like this in the past few years.

In contrast, I had Glenn as my companion and learned from Ryan. It seemed that I was much happier than Patrick.

Lisa, who was standing beside me, asked, "What happened to you today? Tell me."

I sat down and told her briefly about what had happened today.

I knew that Roger was a big mouth this night. Even if he promised not to tell Patrick, I still couldn't trust him.

So, at the end of my story, I especially emphasized that Shelton did not really touch me, and told them Shelton's last speech.

Lisa sneered after hearing what I had said. "What's this? Wasn't he just making up an excuse for his exposed adultery? What a scumbag! The Cowell Family is full of scumbags!"

"My big brother is not a scumbag!"

"Fine, fine, your big brother isn't." After finishing her conversation with Roger, she turned to me and asked, "Are you going to marry Shelton?"

I looked at her. Although I felt helpless, I still nodded my head.

Shelton's financial resources were obviously above Towering High.

Since Patrick had helped me so much, wouldn't it be good for me to sacrifice a little bit to keep his

company safe?

"Are you out of your mind?!" Lisa came up to me and pulled me to the couch. We were face to face right now. "He's a crazy man. Why are you still marrying him?"

"It's a deal. Why don't we do that?"

While I was talking to her, I was also trying to convince myself in my heart.

"I don't agree," Lisa said as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. "I'm telling you, if you marry him, I'll lock you up in the house. He can marry you over my dead body."

"Oh, don't do that! Don't do that!" When Roger heard this, he immediately said, "Why don't I stand in front of you? He can be over my dead body first. I don't want you to die."

When I saw them acting like that, I suddenly felt at ease. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Although Lisa and Roger always quarreled with each other, they surprisingly made a good match.

Maybe they would be happy if they got married.

I smiled and said, "I am not going to sacrifice myself, OK? It's just a marriage. And, Shelton is rich and good to me. Isn't it a good marriage?"

"You can't lie to me." Lisa looked at me, feeling bad for me.

But Roger understood me. "Forget it. We should stay out of it. It's not a simple matter. We outsiders should not get involved in this."

He looked like a playboy.

But I knew that he had already seen this matter through.

Indeed, outsiders really couldn't make a decision for me.

"No, marriage is a lifetime's matter. How can you..."

"I'll figure it out," I interrupted Lisa and opened my arms to give her a hug. "Don't worry. I won't let myself be wronged."

"You..."

"Alright, I'm tired. Can I sleep here tonight?" I interrupted her again.

I knew that she was doing this for my own good, but this was my own choice.

Lisa looked at me and wanted to say something to persuade me. But in the end, she nodded and said, "Okay, you can stay as long as you want."

I went into the bedroom. Lisa had already washed the sheets and quilts for me and put them in the closet.

I made the bed myself and lay on the bed.

The sound of Lisa and Roger quarreling affectionately could be heard from outside. It seemed that they had been getting along well for the past few years.

Maybe because I was far away from Shelton, I soon fell asleep.

At night, I had a dream.

I dreamed of the night when Patrick got married. I stood in front of the window, watching rain pouring outside.

Patrick stood in the heavy rain, looking at me with so much sadness in his eyes.

When I woke up, it was already daytime.

The sun was shining brightly outside.

The snow and wind had already stopped. Looking at the watch, I found that it was already 10 o'clock.

I hadn't slept late for a long time.

There were several calls from Nancy on my mobile phone, as well as her text messages. She was afraid that something bad might have happened to me.

I first sent her a message to tell her that I wanted to have a rest today. Afterwards, I changed my clothes and came out.

The house outside was in a mess, but there was a sandwich on the dining table with a note on it.

I walked over and saw that it was written by Lisa. "Breakfast for you; remember to eat."

All of a sudden, my heart felt warm.

After breakfast, I tidied up the room for Lisa. In the trash can, I found several used condoms.

I finally understood what had happened last night.

When everything was done, I sat on the sofa, thinking of Roger's words last night. Then I put on my coat, went downstairs, and took a taxi to Eastern Tombs.
