Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 347

In a normal situation, if it were another woman, she would definitely feel uncomfortable when she saw this.

However, when I saw this, I was calm. I even felt that this matter had nothing to do with me at all.

However, Emily didn't think so.

She seemed to be worried that I couldn't see her hickeys. So she touched the hickeys with her hands deliberately.

But I turned a blind eye to her.

Looking at Emily from the side, Lacy rolled her eyes. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Only Janice did what she should do. It seemed that all these things had nothing to do with her.

After we came downstairs, Shelton put down the newspaper in his hands and went to the dining table.

Everything was as usual.

After the meal, I planned to take Glenn to Nancy's house first. However, Shelton asked me, "Can you have a rest today? I want to show you something."

"What's that?"

"Is that alright?"

Shelton confirmed with me once again. His tone sounded a little sincere and gentle with slight pressure in it. So I didn't know how to refuse.

I thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."

As for Glenn...

It was unknown how long we would be out this time. If we went out for a whole day, how could I dare to let Emily take care of Glenn for the whole day?

I thought about it and said to Shelton, "How about I send Glenn to Nancy's house first..."

"Yes! I have a deal with Cicely. I have to go to see her today. A boy has to keep his words rather than break his promise."

As soon as I finished speaking, Glenn spoke.

He looked like a little adult.

After he said that, everyone in the room burst out laughing.

Shelton looked at him and sighed helplessly, "Well, then send him there first."

After the meal, I went out of the door with Glenn. Emily handed Shelton the clothes and the shoes with great enthusiasm.

And she acted as if she hadn't seen Glenn and me.

I didn't even bother to scold her.

If I drove Emily away, Shelton wouldn't let me go so easily. That was what I was worried about.

When we got out of the door, we sent Glenn to Nancy's house. After we left Nancy's house, Shelton took my hand and asked, "Is Cicely going to be our daughter-in-law in the future?"

"Ah?" I was a little confused. However, thinking about it for after a moment, I said, "No way. Glenn is so young now."

"But I think he knows a lot of things."

Shelton said softly.

Hearing his casual words, I felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words.

I quickly changed the subject and asked him, "So, where are we going today?"

He looked at me meaningfully and said, "You'll know after you get there."

The car drove all the way to a white building with more than 20 floors in the suburbs of City Y. It was very remote. And there were very few cars driving by it.

There was only a receptionist in the lobby on the first floor without any sign at the door.

Shelton led me into the room. When the receptionist saw him, she greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Cowell."

Then she took out a boarding list.

Shelton nodded, signed his name on it, and left.

I hurried to keep up with him.

He took me into the building and pressed the button leading to the third floor on the elevator.

Initially, I thought it was just an ordinary building. However, after I got out of the elevator, I found that it was actually a high-tech laboratory base.

As people entered and left this place, they had to go through facial searches and got their fingerprints and retinas identified.

In terms of this kind of recognition, I felt that the last time I saw it was in a sci-fi movie.

I never thought that this kind of thing would take place in real life.

We entered a laboratory on the 3rd floor where people in white coats were doing research.

Shelton began to explain to me. Only then did I know with which Shelton was making money.

Shelton didn't become rich with Al he had announced that day. Instead, it was with the drugs developed by the pharmaceutical companies under his charge that he earned money.

Not long ago, the drug for curing hematological diseases which he developed had been officially listed. As long as this medicine was used for a period, the patient could become a normal person.

It was undoubtedly good news for the patients.

Now, several projects under his charge were studying on different subjects.

If all these projects succeeded, it would be a great contribution to human beings. Of course, Shelton would make a lot of money with them by then.

I listened to his explanation and felt somewhat confused. Even so, I knew that these were all profitable and excellent projects.

In fact, I knew that Shelton had pharmaceutical companies in his hands. Because when he auctioned for the advertisements in the national TV station in Noah's Center back then, he did so for the drugs developed by his companies.

But I didn't expect him to be so powerful.

After we are done with the tour, Shelton took me to rest in the staff canteen.

Shelton ordered two cups of coffee in total.

Handing me the coffee, he said, "Are you curious about why I brought you here?"

"Yes."

In fact, I could roughly guess his purpose.

Then, Shelton smiled and reached out to hold my hand, "I don't want to see that you know nothing about me. I am willing to tell you everything about me. At the same time, I hope that one day, you can open your heart and accept me sincerely." "Did he tell me everything about him?"

"And did he ask me to accept him sincerely?"

When Shelton said this, what came to my mind was the passion between him and Emily last night.

I didn't blame him.

However, it was destined that I would never open my heart to him.

When it came to something, once it happened one time, even if it would never happen again, what was done was done.

No matter how hard he tried to make up for it, cracks would always be there.

What's more, I believed that no matter what the reason was, it wasn't the first time he and Emily had made love last night.

And it wouldn't be the last time.

In order not to let Shelton down, I nodded and looked at him, "Okay, I will try my best."

"I hope this day will come earlier." Shelton looked at me affectionately, "Give yourself to me with all your heart. Everything else in your life. As for all other things in the future, Glenn, and our other children in the future, leave them all to me. I can make you live a better life than anyone else does."

What he said was indeed sweet- sounding love words.

Looking at him, unexpectedly, I wasn't touched at all.

Looking like a puppet wearing a mask, I acted as Shelton's wife.

However, I believed in Shelton's words.

The things he had in his hands were more promising than what Patrick had once done.

I believed that Shelton would stand at the top of City Y and even the whole country one day.

After that day, I lived my days as usual.

Shelton's huge assets had no impact on me at all.

However, on the fourth day after the engagement ceremony was over...

A weekend later, as soon as I entered the studio, Nancy pulled me and said, "Do you know? You're popular now!"

"What is it?"

For a moment, I was a little confused.

Nancy pulled me to the front of the screen of her computer.

I saw that there was a news page on the large computer screen, which read, "Do men in the Cowell Family share the same wife? It turns out that the biological father of Shelton's son is his nephew, Patrick Cowell!"
