Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 357

There were only two of them in the large hall.

It seemed that everyone else had left.

As I saw Patrick, Glenn saw him too.

Stretching out his arms enthusiastically, he rushed into Patrick's arms, "Uncle, you are here too!"

"Yes." Patrick hugged Glenn pouncing on him.

I secretly glanced at Shelton next to me. There seemed to be no change in his eyes. Regarding this matter, he didn't seem to care about it at all.

Seeing him like this, I felt a little uneasy in my heart instead.

"Let's go." To comfort him, I reached out and took Shelton's arm.

Shelton looked at me, curled up the corner of his mouth, and nodded.

Only then did he go downstairs with me.

Ned stood up, "Glenn, I bought a lot of fireworks for you. I've asked the servants to move them out. Shall we go outside?"

"Great!"

Glenn was so happy now that he no longer paid any attention to us.

He ran over to Ned's side and pulled him out.

Shelton got rid of my hand and hurried to Ned's side. "Father, we will accompany Glenn. You are old."

As a doctor, Shelton was worried about Ned's health.

Ned had been pushed into the OR not long ago. Speaking of setting off fireworks, it would somewhat have a bad influence on his heart.

Ned waved his big hand, "It's fine. It happens once only."

Since he said so, Shelton couldn't say anything more.

I helped Glenn put on his clothes. He, who had woken up just now, had sweat on his head. I wiped the sweat off for him and helped him put on his hat and scarf before letting him go out.

Only after we went outside did I see the fireworks prepared by Ned.

I was indeed amazed.

Besides some sparkles, the rest of the fireworks were all round or square-shaped big ones. At first glance, I could see that they were all of a goodlooking type.

Patrick walked at the front. Shelton and I walked at the back.

"Uncle, Uncle, come and set off the fireworks with me!" Instead of turning to Shelton and me, Glenn held Patrick's hand, asking him to have fun with him.

Patrick agreed happily.

Although there were no lights outside the house, fireworks boomed loudly in the sky from all directions one after another, rattling through the sky.

With the light of the fireworks, I looked at Shelton again. This time, he slightly furrowed his eyebrows without saying anything.

I couldn't help but feel nervous.

The way I saw it, Shelton should somewhat mind it.

After all, Glenn was nominally his son.

There was a small square in front of Ned's home where we could happen to set off the fireworks.

Patrick followed Glenn and chose a firework first. Then Patrick personally moved it over. After setting it off, he ran to the side while pulling Glenn's hand.

Covering Glenn's ears, he and Glenn looked up at the same time!

"Boom!" The firework surged into the sky with a flame and exploded!

I saw that Glenn jumped up and down excitedly and pointed at the fireworks in the sky while talking to Patrick.

After the two of them finished speaking, they burst out laughing.

They did look like a pair of father and son.

I looked up at Shelton. Shelton seemed to realize that I was looking at him. He bowed his head and said a few words.

Although the sound of firecrackers was loud, I could see that he should be saying, "What's wrong?"

I shook my head and said nothing.

The fireworks burst into the sky along with the loud noise one after another and bloomed in the sky, forming a beautifully shaped flame.

Then it fell and turned into ashes, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

After setting off one firework, Patrick and Glenn went to choose another one.

I stood on the side and watched them. When the firework flew into the sky, I felt that my ears were covered by something. Looking up, I saw Shelton standing behind me and covering my ears with his hands.

When I was stunned, he bent down, put his thin lips in my ear, and said, "The noise isn't good for your eardrums."

A small gesture of his made me a little warmhearted in my heart.

We stood outside for about half an hour, and only one-third of the fireworks Ned bought were put on.

At this time, Shelton behind me suddenly took out his cell phone. I turned around and saw that his cell phone screen was bright and that there was a phone call coming in.

Shelton stared at the caller ID with a solemn look on his face. Hesitating for a moment, he picked up the call, turned around, and went into the room.

I stood outside for a while. Seeing that Shelton had not come out, I was worried that something might have happened over there. So I entered Aristocratic Family Complex.

By the time I entered the room, Shelton had hung up the call. Upon seeing me, he said, "There are a few patients in the hospital who need emergent care. There aren't sufficient doors on duty. I'll go there and have a look."

"Okay." I nodded and turned to look at the door, "I'll take Glenn home later. Don't worry."

"Okay..." Shelton put on his shoes. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He went out with me.

At the door, Patrick and Glenn were still setting off the fireworks.

Seeing them, Shelton suddenly pulled me into his arms and pressed his somewhat cold thin lips on my lips.

I was stunned.

It seemed that Shelton didn't want to let me escape. Putting his arms around me, he put his tongue into my mouth tentatively little by little. In front of Glenn, feeling a little embarrassed, I somewhat struggled.

In the end, Shelton didn't go too far. Putting his thin lips in my ear, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Take Glenn straight home later. Don't come into contact with him. Otherwise, I will be jealous."

Of course, I knew who Shelton was talking about.

After Shelton finished speaking, he looked up at Patrick.

Patrick happened to look in our direction as well.

It was at night. Even so, I could clearly feel that Shelton kept staring at me closely with a pair of profound eyes where there was chill inside.

Shelton patted me on the shoulder and left.

After he left, Glenn, who had been following Patrick, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!"

"Ah... Okay." I nodded.

At this moment, Ned, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.

In the blink of an eye, only three of us were outside the room.

We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Glenn was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.

The maid took the fireworks into the room. Holding Glenn in my arms, I said to Patrick, "Then we will go back."

After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Patrick. Then, I heard Patrick's magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight. Don't toss around."

My heart thumped.

"Living here without Shelton... Won't that mean..."

In fact, I didn't want to toss around either. However, with Patrick staying here and Shelton being absent. I could imagine what would happen next.

"No need. Thanks. I'd better take Glenn home." I refused.

At this time, Ned stood at the corner of the second floor and said, "Don't bother. Just live here. We have plenty of guest rooms here. And I have something to tell you."

I know what Ned had one just now. He actually turned a blind eye to everything.

Since Ned said so, I couldn't refuse him and had to agree.

As soon as I put Glenn on the bed in a guest room, a servant brought a set of pajamas for children over. I changed the clothes for Glenn before coming out of the room.

When I came out, a maid who had been waiting at the door told me, "Master is waiting for you in the study."
