Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 93

Originally, I thought I would have to spend that night alone.

Although I was somewhat lonely, the things in the suitcase that Seth had prepared for me moved me a lot.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Seth came again.

Before I could ask him why he was here, he reached out to hold my hand and said gently, "How can I let you stay at home on New Year's Eve?"

As he said this, he pulled me and walked out.

I was scared out of my wits as I said, "Are you going to take me to see your parents?"

"No, no. I just said that I would take a friend home to have dinner together." As Seth said, he forced me out.

I was almost dragged into the car by him.

After we got in the car, I wanted to leave. But he didn't agree and started the car by force.

I was a little unhappy. After we arrived at the downstairs of his family's house, I insisted on leaving.

However, Seth looked at me with a pitiful expression, "I have told my parents that you will be here. And they have prepared a tableful of food. Can you take it as helping us finish the food?"

As he spoke, he looked at me with his hand on his chin.

His staring made me a little embarrassed. So I had no choice but to agree.

Even so, I understood what Seth intended to do by taking me to his house and introducing me to his parents on New Year's Eve. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

I knew how Seth had been good to me in the past few years.

Just like what I had thought before, if I couldn't repay him with my feelings, then I would repay him with my whole life.

I followed Seth and went upstairs.

As soon as the door opened, I saw an old couple in their fifties standing at the door. When they saw me, they smiled happily, "You have been worn out all the way here. Come in quickly."

As they spoke, they let me into the room.

I was a little embarrassed. As I walked inside, I said, "Uncle, Aunt, Happy New Year. I'm really sorry to disturb you on New Year's eve." "Not at all. Not at all." The two seniors both waved their hands.

As soon as I went in, I saw a medium-sized table where there were a lot of presumptuous dishes, including fish and meat. Since the table couldn't accommodate so many dishes, the dishes were piled up.

Seth asked me to sit down. I hesitated for a moment and glimpsed at the kitchen. Sensing that it seemed that I indeed didn't have to help them with anything, I said, "Uncle, Aunt, you two sit down first."

Hearing what I said, Seth's parents smiled with satisfaction and quickly sat down.

After we all sat down, Seth's mother said, "They are all common dishes. I wonder if they fit your taste."

Then she picked up a piece of fish and put it in my bowl.

"Thank you."

Besides thanking her, I really didn't know what else to say.

The dishes made by Seth's mother were very delicious.

For the whole night, they had been paying attention to me and kept picking up food for me. I couldn't eat anything more. Even so, Seth's parents kept asking me to eat.

In the end, seeing that I was indeed full, Seth said, "I'll finish them."

As he spoke, he took out some food from my bowl.

"I've eaten them." I saw Seth take out a piece of meat.

"It's okay."

Seth didn't mind.

After the meal, the channels on the TV started to cover the New Year Gala. I wanted to help them do the dishes. But Seth's parents refused, asking me to sit down and rest persistently.

Seth's parents quickly cleaned up the table. Then they brought a plate of oranges and apples.

Seth picked up an apple and asked me, "Would you like to eat it? I'll peel it for you."

"No..."

"Don't ask her. Peel it quickly."

When I was about to refuse, Seth's father handed him a fruit knife.

In fact, I was quite full.

Seth began to peel the apple as he said, "Just eat one piece. You don't have to finish it all."

That night, it seemed that Seth had mentioned me to his parents previously. So they didn't ask me about my relationship with Seth.

Sitting on the sofa with Seth's family, I watched the New Year Gala while enjoying fruits.

After midnight, we went out and lit firecrackers together.

I was afraid. So Seth covered my ears.

In fact, this was the most standard New Year's Eve I had ever had. But it was Seth who let me have such a chance to experience such a night.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, Seth sent me back to the hotel.

Before I left, Seth's parents wanted to give me lucky money. I refused. But they insisted on giving the lucky money to me. So I had to take it.

After I returned to the hotel, I lay on the bed, feeling that everything was unreal.

Outside the hotel, the noise of the firecrackers was ongoing.

The new year celebration was still going on.

This night, I didn't feel lonely for the first time.

I secretly thought that maybe I could simply say yes to Seth.

I surely would have a happy life after marrying him.

Early the next morning, Seth came to pick me up and took me out to have fun.

There was an ancient town next to his hometown. On the morning of the first day of the New Year, some people, who were dressed as a God of Wealth, were distributing candies there.

There weren't many people around them. When they saw me, they took the initiative to give us a few golden ingots and gold- coinshaped candies as they said to us, "May you be happy and prosperous."

As soon as we took the things over, a reporter on the side came over. Thinking that we were a couple, she asked us if we had come here by ourselves to enjoy our honeymoon.

Seth smiled and said, "We are not married yet."

His words sounded very tactful.

He didn't deny our relationship, which would make others easily misunderstand us.

When the reporter heard this, she asked a few more questions. In the end, she blessed us, "May the two of you grow old together."

When I unwrapped a bar of gold-coin-shaped chocolate and intended to enjoy it, I heard Seth beside me say, "I wish you all

happiness!"

I looked up at him. But Seth didn't look at me.

I followed his gaze and saw a familiar figure in a trance.

"Is it Patrick Cowell?"

When I looked at it again, nobody was there anymore.

I found myself ridiculous. No matter where Patrick was at this moment, he surely couldn't have come to such a remote town.

When I looked at Seth again, Seth suddenly turned around and raised his hand to touch the hair on my head, "Charlotte, be my girlfriend. I indeed want to give you more time. I want to give you a lot of time. But I am afraid that you will be taken away..."

"How could it be..." I lowered my head.

In fact, if I had to marry someone, I surely would marry Seth.

Hearing what I said, Seth lifted my chin with his fingers and looked at me with a pair of gentle eyes. And his handsome face was getting close to me.

He was so serious.

I knew what he was going to do...

I was a little flustered. But I didn't know whether I should push him away or not.

I looked at him and kept telling myself that I should accept him.

After all, he was so kind to me. And I felt that I should accept him. Otherwise, I simply couldn't repay him.

I tried to persuade myself in my heart as I slowly closed my eyes.

I was waiting for him to kiss my lips.

However, after waiting for a second, I felt a gentle kiss on my forehead. The next second, I heard Seth chuckle. And he said, "Look at you. You are so nervous that your hands are shaking."

"Huh?"

I was a little embarrassed.

Seth reached out and grabbed my hands that I had been tightly clenching just now. Then he held them in his palms and said with a gentle smile, "I won't offend you. I will keep waiting until you sincerely accept me."
