Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 92

Only then did I realize that I didn't smell any alcohol when I was so close to him.

He was sober.

I dared not make a random guess. So I looked at him and said, "Brother- in- law, then don't talk nonsense. The one you love is Caroline Archer. Never will you love me in your life. You said it by yourself."

Hearing what I said, Patrick was a little absent-minded.

He looked at me with a more profound look in his black eyes, "Yes, I used to think so. But I was wrong."

"Mr. Cowell, as I said, Caroline and I can't coexist. If she is in prison, I will go back to your side."

I looked at Patrick with a firm look in my eyes.

At that moment, I saw the hesitation in Patrick's eyes.

I sneered, "Mr. Cowell, I was innocent when I was in prison. But she deserved to be in prison. But when I was in prison, you stood by and did nothing. And you can't bear to see her being imprisoned. Don't you already have an answer in your heart?"

"No. I..."

Just as Patrick seemed to be hesitating, intending to say something, someone reached out his hand, put it in front of me, and pushed him away!

At that time, Patrick was a little absentminded. So he was pushed away when he was caught off guard.

It was Seth.

The next second, I was protected by Seth behind him. And he said to Patrick, "What are you going to do to my girlfriend, Mr. Cowell?" "Your girlfriend?" Patrick couldn't help but frown when he heard Seth call me like this. Then he looked at me and asked, "Are you his girlfriend?"

When I was hesitating about what to say, Seth suddenly took me into his arms.

Seth's arm was very strong. And I could hear his heartbeat when I was in his arms.

I raised my head and said to Patrick, "Yes. I'm already his girlfriend. Mr. Cowell, I'm just a piece of trash abandoned by you."

I belittled myself on purpose so that Patrick wouldn't make a move on Seth.

"Oh. Didn't you just say that you would come back to my side after she went to jail? Why do you have a boyfriend now?"

Patrick stood there.

Judging from the look in his eyes, unexpectedly, I saw that he had been hurt. And I didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, Seth said, "Mr. Cowell, your marriage with Caroline has already been made public to the whole world. Please don't continue to hurt Charlotte. She has been hurt by you so badly. And you surely can't go on hurting her."

Seth's words made me even more upset.

Seth knew me well.

What he said matched my current state.

I indeed had been badly injured by Patrick Cowell.

Patrick looked at me with a trace of heartache in his eyes. Then he, who seemed to have understood something, turned around and left.

As soon as he left, Seth didn't continue to hold me in his arms. Instead, he put down his hand and said, "Sorry. The situation was special just now."

I shook my head.

I knew that Seth was good to me.

He asked me why I was here. So I told him about Tim.

As Seth heard this, his face became gloomy. And he said, "After I go back this time, I will fire him."

I didn't object.

After all, it wasn't good to keep someone like Tim in the company.

Throughout the latter phase of the annual conference, Seth had been by my side all the time, accompanying me to have food.

Seeing that he seemed to intend to say something and gave it up several times, I asked him, "Do you have anything to say?"

Only then did Seth tell me that the client just now actually came from the annual conference of Patrick's company.

In fact, the Cowell Family didn't want to leak the marriage between the Archer Family and the Cowell Family this time. But the Archer Family acted on their own, which somewhat irritated the Cowell Family.

However, the reason why this matter happened was that something was wrong with Archer's Group. Its stock had been sluggish, plummeting down for several months.

To stabilize the situation, the Archer Family released the news about the marriage, which made the stock price rise a little.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be somewhat worried about Rosy.

But I didn't mention her. Instead, I asked Seth, "Why did you tell me this?"

"You think I'm stupid, right?" Seth looked at me as he squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I hope to win you over in a fair way."

Admittedly, Seth was so good.

At that moment, I was even a little swayed.

I probably couldn't repay him with the same feelings. However, if I couldn't repay him with anything else, I would repay him with my whole life.

I hid my feeling in the bottom of my heart.

After the annual conference came to an end, within less than half a month, we could enjoy the annual leave.

I didn't have a home. So celebrating the New Year was a very cruel thing for me.

Because reuniting with the family members in New Year were all covered on TV, the Internet, and the social media newsfeed. But my family didn't welcome me.

Moreover, because of the fact that Caroline had gone to jail last time, the Archer Family almost hated me to their bones.

Even if Rosy asked me to go back, I didn't want her to be in a dilemma.

I was off in New Year. On New Year's Eve, I got up in the morning the same way I had done over the weekend. After tidying up the house, I wanted to go outside to buy some food. After all, during the New Year holiday, all the shops would be closed.

And it wasn't until the third day of the New Year that the operations of the shops would be back to normal.

As I was about to go out, my cell phone rang. It was Seth who was calling me.

As soon as I picked up his call, he asked me, "Where are you going for the New Year celebration?"

"Staying at home."

I told him the truth.

Seth said, "Then go downstairs quickly. I'll take you to a place."

"Ah? Won't you go home?"

I was a little surprised.

However, Seth insisted that I go downstairs. So I changed my clothes, took my bag, and closed the door. Then I went downstairs.

Seth drove me. And I didn't overthink it.

But as the car was driving along, I found that we were on the highway!

Looking ahead, I found that there was a toll station!

"Where are we going?" I was shocked.

"You have no place to go during the New Year, right? Then I'll take you to my hometown to have fun. There are many places around my hometown where we can enjoy ourselves."

Seth said as he drove.

"Your hometown?" I was shocked. "No need. No need. I don't have anything with me."

I even wondered whether Seth was going to introduce me to his parents.

"I didn't bring anything with me. Nor did I bring my clothes. How could I just go there like this?"

Seth saw through my mind as he said, "Don't worry. I won't let you live in my house. You can stay at the hotel."

But I wasn't at ease.

But no matter what I said, Seth had no intention to drive me back.

I felt as if I had been tricked.

But I couldn't go back by myself. In desperation, I had to agree that I would stay in his house for one day and go back two days later.

Seth's hometown wasn't far from City Y. However, a lot of people were returning home on New Year's Eve. So the highway was very crowded. We drove for more than eight hours before arriving at the small town where Seth's family lived.

Seth arranged me to live in a hotel.

When I got off the car, Seth opened the trunk and handed me a purple suitcase.

"What's this?" I looked at the suitcase.

"The luggage I prepared for you," Seth explained.

I took the suitcase to the hotel. And Seth left.

After I opened the suitcase, I couldn't help but admire Seth's consideration sincerely.

I had to admit that he was really amazing. There was a lot of luggage for me inside the suitcase, including the pajamas, slippers, and a few new sets of clothes to get changed.

He even prepared underwear for me...

Looking the sets of underwear inside the suitcase, I couldn't help blushing. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

After all, it was the first time that a man had bought these things for me.
