Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 377

Hearing Shelton's words, I suddenly felt a chill running down my spine.

I opened my eyes wide and said after a long while, "Then...Then, in the end, you..."

"I didn't kill her." Shelton revealed a wry smile, saying, "Before I graduated, she died. Before I killed her, she died naturally.."

Hearing this, I let out a sigh of relief.

Shelton moved the muscles on his face, making me ascertain that he was looking at me. He looked at me and said, "Then, I was brought back to the Cowell Family. At first, I didn't want to ruin the Cowell Family, trying quite hard to get along with them. So I tried harder, pretended that I couldn't tell that they were mocking me, and did all my best to be good to them."

"However, in the end, I discovered that they would never change their views of me. No matter what I did, in their eyes, I was nobody but a beggar."

Shelton's words deeply touched me.

He was talking about the Cowell Family. But I felt like he was talking about me.

After spending three years in the Archer Family, could it be that I couldn't feel how the Archer Family treated me? Of course, I could. Even so, I tried my best to become one of them.

In the end, it turned out that I was deceiving myself.

I looked at Shelton and nodded, "I understand you. And I can relate to you."

"I know." Shelton pursed his lips and raised his hand to wipe his face a few times to sober himself up a little. Then he continued, "So, I want to keep you by my side. Knowing that we have the sameCopyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

experience, I want to be good to you. I feel distressed for you as if I were distressed for the one I used to be."

He felt distressed for me as if he were distressed for himself in the past.

Looking at Shelton, I suddenly seemed to understand a lot of things.

I shook my head and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine. I have a son, Glenn, a good friend, Lisa, and a good partner Nancy, as well as... a man who loves me. I am pretty fine. You don't have to worry about me. I'm serious."

Now, to say the least, I was indeed quite rich.

I was no longer as servile as I used to be.

Standing up, Shelton walked to me step by step and said, "But I'm worried about you. If I don't keep you by my side, I won't be at ease. What should I do?"

"You should pursue your own happiness. I indeed will take good care of myself."

I said.

"No one else knows what I said just now. Even Shirley." Shelton walked to the front of me and looked down at me, "I say that I love you. Can't you stay by my side? Am I inferior to him? I can make all of them up."

There was even a hint of pleading in Shelton's voice.

I have never seen him as humble as this.

Shelton stretched out his hands and hugged me, "I won't lay my hands on you. Neither will I embarrass you. As long as you stay with me, it will be okay. The two of us, who have the same

experience, suit each other the best. Patrick, who has been favored by God ever since his childhood, will never relate to your thoughts."

He hugged me tightly.

I didn't struggle.

I finally understood Shelton's attitude towards me.

He had always treated me like an elder and treated me with care. It turned out that he did so as if he were trying to make up for himself in the past...

I didn't move in the slightest, saying, "Shelton, now I am very happy, quite happy. So you don't have to help me make up for anything. You should go after the one you love. And you should go to find Shirley."

"No." Shelton shook his head, "Actually, I just wanted to come to see you today. I know that you won't go with me. And... after today, we probably won't meet each other again."

"Why not?"

I felt anxious in my heart.

Hearing his words, I had a bad feeling.

Without saying anything, he held me tighter. And time passed by.

At this time, the sound of a car suddenly came from the door. Then I heard the sound of someone opening the door with a key.

All of a sudden, Shelton straightened up his back and stepped backward slightly. Looking at me, he raised his hand and gently touched the top of my head with his big and bony palms, saying lightly,

"I’m sorry."

Looking as gentle as usual, he curled up the corner of his mouth and put on a faint smile.

After saying these words, he turned around and left.

At this time, the door was opened.

Nancy and Patrick stood at the door.

When the two of them saw Shelton, they immediately looked inside. Seeing that I stood there intact, they seemed to be relieved.

Without saying anything, Shelton passed by the two of them and directly left.

Soon, he disappeared into the night.

Patrick came in and glanced at the cell phone on the sofa. Walking up to me, he asked nervously, "Did he do anything to you?"

"No." I shook my head.

Thinking of Shelton's words just now, I couldn't be more emotionally complicated in my heart.

What he had said just now seemed to mean something else. Looking at his back, I always felt that I would never see him again after this time.

Patrick took a rough look and made sure that I wasn't hurt. Letting a sigh of relief, he raised his hand to tidy up my hair which had been messed up by Shelton, saying, "It's good that you're all right. Let's go home."

"Yes." I nodded, walked to Nancy first, hugged her, saying, "Thank you."

Nancy was stunned for a moment before saying,

"It's okay. I was afraid that if something bad did happen to you, I would have to complete the project alone in the future. In that case, I surely would have to work overtime crazily."

I held Nancy in my arms and said, feeling happy in my heart, "Well, I won't get into any trouble. And I'll do all the projects with you in the future."

Compared with Shelton, I was happy.

It was probably because I knew how to cherish it and how to be satisfied.

I felt that if Shelton was willing to look back and see through his heart, for him, Shirley probably would be the Mrs. Right.

I had been wondering what Shelton's words meant that night. However, when I arrived at the studio the next morning, I got his point last night.

Shelton's scandal had become something in the past. Today, there was a new scandal.

Based on the scandal, I was an illegitimate child of the current president of Kelsi Real Estate, Finn Kelsi. And my mother, Jessica Ryan, was exposed as well.

For a moment, my scandal overshadowed Shelton's scandal.

At the same time, the reporters reorganized the relationship between Patrick, Kelsi Clark, and I.

Immediately, they figured out a campy story where two sisters fighting over a man.

Reading the news, I felt extremely complicated in my heart. And I had many confusions in my heart.

I wouldn't dig into my relationship with the Kelsi family.

The only thing that I was sure of was that few people knew about my mother's mater. Besides me, Ryan, and the Reid Family, the one knowing the most about this matter was Shelton!

The Reid Family wouldn't ruin their own reputation. And Ryan wouldn't hurt my mother.

In that case, there was only one person left.
