Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 233

I, who was stunned, looked at Patrick. I felt as if my heart was being pinched by an invisible hand.

My heart was being pinched so tightly that it seemed to have stopped beating.

But it didn't take long for me to realize that I surely had been tricked by him.

I smiled and said, "Mr. Cowell, it is not the time for acting today. You didn't have to act so vividly."

"I didn't act." Patrick looked at me and said seriously, "I love you. I can't marry you. But I can give you anything else.".

"Hahahaha!"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud!

Although the wax on my skin limited the size of my face, I tried so hard to smile.

As I laughed, tears welled up in my eyes.

It probably was due to my exaggerated expression that Patrick and Shelton let go of each other in unison.

"Bang!" With one hand holding the wax on the left side of my face, I slapped Patrick on his

face once again.

"Mr. Cowell, you who are rich are so forgetful. You have said so to me previously. But last time, you said you wanted to marry Caroline Archer." I looked at him and finally couldn't laugh anymore. I said, "If you think that I am not worthy of you and that you won't marry me, then don't seduce me. It is not like I have to be with you!"

After I said that, I turned around and went out of Shelton's room.

I didn't know what happened next.

I spent the entire day in my room.

By nightfall, the sunset shone into my room. It was a beautiful scene.

Fortunately, I brought a notebook and solid watercolor pigment with me.

I found an empty lounge chair on the beach, sat on it, and began to draw.

As I mixed orange and yellow watercolor pigments together and painted the sunset glow on the paper, a tall figure blocked the light in front of my eyes.

Without having to look up, I knew who it was.

I said as I drew, "Mr. Cowell, you'll get married tomorrow. How come you are still here today? If Miss Kelsi sees this, she will misunderstand you."

"Come with me."

He said directly.

I didn't move. And I said, "Mr. Cowell, it is true that the reason why I came to your wedding this time that I wanted to leave you a note. If you don't like me here, I'll give it to you in advance. And I'll leave the island tonight."

"Okay." To my surprise, Patrick directly agreed. He paused and said, "But I have something to say to you."

"Well, go ahead. I'm listening."

Although I was drawing with a brush pen on the surface, in fact, I had long been absentminded.

And I repeatedly rubbed the pen against the paper, making the painting a little dirty.

"Aren't you leaving?" Patrick turned up his voice slightly.

Before I could answer, he bent down and picked me up in his arms.

"Ah!" I was so frightened that I tried my best to struggle, "Patrick Cowell, you're crazy!"

He would hold his wedding here.

Everyone here would attend his wedding.

The ones from the Kelsi family and the Cowell Family were here as well.

If any one of them saw him hug me, they would misunderstand us!

However, Patrick didn't pay attention to me at all. He just pressed his thin lips against my ear and said, "If you want to attract more people here, continue to shout!"

As soon as he said that, I shut up instantly.

This place wasn't far from my room.

We were on a private island. So the door of my room was never locked.

He took me directly into the room and threw me onto the bed! This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The next second, he bent down and pressed himself against me. Only then did I see his face where there was a slight bruise on his cheekbones.

It seemed that he had fought with Shelton during the day.

Without saying anything, he began to kiss me crazily all the way from my forehead, my cheek, my earlobe, and to my neck. He kissed me all the way down.

"No! Go away! You are crazy!" I was scared to death.

Of course, I knew what Patrick was going to do!

"Yes, I'm crazy. I want you so much as if I were crazy. At the thought that you will belong to another man in the future, I'm crazy!" While hugging me in his arms with one of his hands, he didn't stop what he was doing at all.

Hearing his words, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

I suddenly stopped moving. And I stopped struggling as well. I looked at the ceiling and said with a smile, "Mr. Cowell, you can do whatever you want to me. You just want to possess me. And you don't want to see others have the things that used to belong to you. But, Mr. Cowell, I hope that you can tell the desire and the affection, or the love, apart."

"I love you."

He got up and looked at me with a serious look in his eyes.

I looked at him and suddenly felt that he was ridiculous. And I said, "Mr. Cowell, are you continuing to show off how good you are at acting? Then I admit that you are quite good at acting and that you have successfully deceived me."

"I didn't lie to you." Patrick looked at me as affectionately and attached as he used to be, "I love you."

I looked at him. And I couldn't tell what I felt in my heart.

I used to expect Patrick to tell me that he loved me.

I was disappointed.

He was going to get married tomorrow. But he said so to me several times now.

I looked at him without any emotion on my face, "And then? You're getting married tomorrow. What's the point of telling me this?"

"I..." Patrick seemed to be infinitely torn inside. He hesitated for a long time before he suddenly lowered his head and pressed his mouth against my ear tightly, saying, "I know it's quite selfish of me to say this. But I hope you can wait for me for a few more years. In a few years, I will divorce her and marry you."

"Mr. Cowell, won't you fail Kelsi with what you said just now?"

"I made it clear to her before we decided to get married. Moreover, she decided to marry me..."

"That's enough, Mr. Cowell." The feeling of having Patrick being so close to me was something that I was dependent on.

But I knew that I couldn't do so.

Patrick was about to get married. Yes, he would marry Kelsi tomorrow.

Kelsi was so good and so innocent. I couldn't do anything out of my selfishness.

I couldn't hurt her.

I pushed Patrick aside and sat up. Then I looked at him and said, "Mr. Cowell, let's call it a day. I'll leave the island tonight."

As I spoke, I got up and went to take my gift money out of my bag.

When I opened my bag, I immediately saw the pregnancy test stick that hadn't been used yet. And I felt pain in my heart.

I said to myself in my heart, "I'm sorry, baby, I can't keep your daddy."

I put the pregnancy test stick at the bottom of my bag, took out a red envelope, and handed it to Patrick. Then I smiled slightly, "Mr. Cowell, I wish you and Miss Kelsi eternal happiness."

Patrick took the red envelope over, intending to tear it down on the spot.

I reached out to stop him, "Mr. Cowell, please open it after I'm gone. If you open it, it means that we'll never meet each other again."

"Then I will never open it."

Patrick spoke without any hesitation.

Looking at him, I felt so much pain in my heart. But I forced a smile and said, "You'd better open it. I spent a long time writing the letter in it."

Patrick looked at me with a complicated expression on his face.

After a long while, he suddenly hugged me, "Charlotte Archer, I love you."

I was completely stunned.

I thought to myself, "I will belive in his words and deceive myself for the time being."

I hugged him back, patted him on the back, and answered in a quite gentle voice, "I know."

After he left, I went to the bathroom with the pregnancy test stick and used it...

It showed two red lines clearly.

"It's my and Patrick's child."

"Unfortunately, he is destined to be fatherless before he is born."

That night, I packed up my things and told Shelton that I was leaving the island.

Shelton immediately said, "Then I'll go with you. I originally accompanied you here. If you

want to leave, I'll go with you."
