Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 191

"What?"

I was stunned.

"Is he going to take me there with him?"

I pretended that I didn't know anything and asked him in a feigned daze, "Where are we going at such a late hour?"

Patrick lowered his eyes slightly and said word by word, "I have to go to my grandfather's birthday banquet. But I won't be at ease by leaving you at home alone. So I have to take you there with me."

"Are you crazy?" I looked at him and said, "How can I go there like this? If it were Halloween today, I could go out to scare others."

I laughed at myself.

No way that I could go out to see others with my current look.

Patrick pulled me out of the room and said coldly, "Wait for me in the car. I'll have two bodyguards watch you. I'll go in and give my grandfather my gift. Then I'll come out."

Patrick was indeed cautious. Unexpectedly, he planned to take me with him to Ned's birthday banquet.

I knew that I couldn't refuse him. Even if I refused, in the end, I would be forced there by him.

In desperation, I had no choice but to agree.

I didn't have to put on any makeup. I just changed my clothes and went out with him.

In fact, it was so ridiculous for me to go out like this.

But I had no choice.

Patrick and I arrived at Ned's house in a car.

When the car stopped, Patrick patted my hands and said gently, "I will come out within half an hour at most."

"Okay."

I answered in a dull way...

"In my opinion, none of these has nothing to do with me. No matter how long he will be inside, I have to wait for him here."

"Even if I am not here, I will be in the multimedia room."

"It makes no difference to me."

After Patrick left, two bodyguards stood outside the car. Due to the side effects of the anti-exposure drugs, I felt uncomfortable and dizzy. So I lay on the back seat.

I looked out of the window and saw two bodyguards standing there like two pillars. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Running away seemed to be an idiotic dream to me.

I looked out of the window and stared at the bodyguards like this. After half an hour, Patrick hadn't come out yet.

"Has he been delayed?"

"No, he is always punctual..."

"Could something have happened to him?"

When I was thinking, I heard someone talking in the distance, "Patrick is drunk. Go pick him up."

The two bodyguards dared not to move at all.

I could tell that the voice was from Shelton!

He was wearing the glasses that I had accompanied him to prescribe that day.

"Mr. Shelton!" I quickly sat up.

I saw Shelton talking with the two\ bodyguards outside. And there were only three of them in the empty parking lot.

"No, Mr. Cowell has an order that if he doesn't come here, we can't leave."

The bodyguards answered...

At this time, the two bodyguards seemed to be on guard against Shelton. And both of them stood together.

"I see." Shelton shook his head in embarrassment.

Before I could notice it, Shelton suddenly took out something from his pocket and sprayed it on the two bodyguards' faces!

In just two seconds, the two bodyguards fell to the ground in an instant!

Shelton took out the car key from the bodyguards' pocket and pressed the switch.

The car door opened.

He quickly called me out from the car and threw the car key onto the bodyguards' bodies. Because I was not feeling well, I was walking a little shakingly. He directly picked me up in his arms and walked towards the car.

"Mr. Shelton."

I was a little embarrassed.

Shelton didn't have time to talk to me. He quickly took me to the passenger's seat of his car.

He fastened the seat belt for me, started the car directly, and left the Cowell Family's mansion.

"Mr. Shelton, why are you here?"

I looked at Shelton as I was still in a state of shock.

Shelton looked at me out of the corner of his eye as he drove, "Didn't you ask me to save you?"

Only then did I remember that I had sent a text to Shelton in the hospital.

"I didn't expect..."

"You didn't expect that I would save you, right?" Shelton looked at me. And his expression showed that he had guessed what I was thinking.

I nodded slightly.

Feeling that something was wrong, I asked him, "Where is Patrick? If you just take me away like this, Patrick surely will come to us."

"He..." Shelton said calmly, "Regarding him... I see that he has been working very hard recently. So I let him rest for a while. It is estimated that he won't wake up until tomorrow morning. By the time he wakes up, we have been abroad."

"Huh?"

I looked at Shelton and couldn't figure out what he was talking about.

After thinking about it for a while, I asked, "Are you taking me abroad? Where are we going? I don't have anything with me."

Seeing that I was anxious, Shelton smiled and said, "Think about it. Where are all the things with which you need to go abroad?"

"They are..."

I thought about it for a moment. And then I suddenly remembered...

My stuffs were all at home!

They were all in the house which I had moved in. Because I had paid a year's rent once in advance. Even though I didn't go back there recently, my things were still there.

Shelton said, "After you sent me a text, I asked a friend to check out what happened. Taking advantage of the information you had submitted to Michael when you asked him to help you win a lawsuit previously, I handed it to the housing-rent company. They opened the door of your house for me."

"That's why all my things, including my passport, are with you, right?"

"Yes."

Shelton nodded, parked the car on the side of the road, and looked at me, saying, "I did this after receiving your text. My plan is to take you to stay abroad for a while. If you have other ideas, I will give your things back to you.

You can do whatever you want.' I looked at Shelton.

He, who was older than me, exuded the aura of a mature man, giving me an inexplicable sense of trust.

And, to some extent, going abroad was the best choice for me.

I wanted to stay far away from Patrick!

"Okay, I'll go abroad with you." I hesitated for a moment, "My bank card seems to be on Patrick's side..."

Shelton smiled when he heard that, "Don't worry. Although I'm not as rich as Patrick, I can afford to support you."

I understood what he meant. However, hearing his words, I felt a little embarrassed.

That night, I followed Shelton and boarded a plane to go abroad in a daze.

It wasn't until I got on the plane and looked at the clouds outside the plane that I realized that I indeed had got out of Patrick's control!

On the plane, Shelton looked at me, "Now, the plane has taken off. Tell me what happened."

"I..." I wanted to say something. However, because of the side effects of the antiexposure drugs as well as the discomfort of my ears in the high-altitude, I felt somewhat nauseous.

Before I could finish my words, I went to the bathroom.

By the time I came back, unexpectedly, Shelton had fallen asleep.

I sat on the plane and looked out of the window. For some reason, I felt a twinge of pain inexplicably.

The plane landed ten hours later.

After another three hours in a car, we finally arrived at a small town.

The shelter of the car fell, turning the car into a roadster.

There were old buildings on both sides of the street. Most of the pedestrians on the street were old people. In a cafe on the street, an old lady was drinking coffee with a fat cat in her arms.

Someone saw us and took the initiative to greet us.

Everything here had vivid life atmosphere.

Seeing this, I, who originally was in a heavy mood, was in a better mood as well.

Finally, the car stopped at a gate of a two-story building. I stood at the gate of the yard where beautiful Hibiscus was blooming.
