Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 235

As the grand wedding music went on, Kelsi took Patrick's arm and walked step by step to the end of the red carpet against the blue sky.

Her white wedding dress and Patrick's black dress mixed with the light golden beach and the red carpet.

The scene looked so beautiful.

I remembered the wedding of Patrick and me. Although it was done based on the ceremony, it was just a substitute wedding anyway. However, compared with their wedding at this moment...

My wedding back then was just a joke.

I stood at the hindmost and watched the two of them walk to the front of the priest. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The priest asked, "Bridegroom, Patrick Cowell, are you willing to accept Kelsi Clark as your wife?"

"I'd like to."

Patrick answered with no hesitation.

Then, the priest asked, "You should be gentle to your wife. And respect and care for her and her parents. You should ensure that your body and mind will belong to her only. Can you

promise her these in front of everyone?"

After the priest finished speaking, I felt tense in my heart.

I had never heard of such a marriage vow.

I originally thought that the so- called marriage vow was something like asking the couple to never give up on each other whether they were poor or rich.

When I heard the vow today, I felt that it sounded quite harsh, as if... it was meant for me.

As I thought about what had happened two days ago, I couldn't help but blush.

After the priest finished asking, about half a minute later, Patrick didn't answer.

I looked over and saw that the priest had a bit awkward expression on his face. The surrounding guests whispered among themselves.

To liven up the awkward atmosphere, the priest asked again, "Can you promise her so in front of everyone?"

"I can."

This time, Patrick responded.

Even so, the guests had some complaints about the fact that Patrick had only responded after being asked by the priest twice.

Especially Kelsi's parents, who were sitting in the front row. The two of them seemed to be quite unhappy.

Hearing Patrick's answer, the priest asked Kelsi a similar question. And Kelsi answered quickly.

After the exchange of oaths, the two of them exchanged their wedding rings.

Kelsi stood in another direction. I could see her face from this angle and that there was a cheerful smile on her face.

When the two of them were putting on the wedding ring for each other, the priest said, "Bridegroom, you can kiss your bride now."

This was the most important moment of a wedding.

Everyone held their breath.

I saw Patrick hold on to Kelsi's arms with both hands and slowly lean his body forward.

At that moment, I felt like my heart was being grabbed by an invisible hand.

I felt so much pain in my heart.

My heart ached so much.

For a moment, I regretted coming to attend this wedding so much.

I was indeed torturing myself. Hadn't I gotten enough of torturing myself?

I saw that as Patrick was about to kiss Kelsi's cheek with his thin lips...

His body suddenly tilted with no omen. And he fell onto the ground!

"Patrick!" Kelsi quickly squatted down, touched his face, and shouted, "He has a fever!"

"Doctor! Where is the doctor?"

Melissa shouted loudly.

All the guests approached them. Only I stood in the same place. And the shadow outside the window last night was all over my mind.

"Could it be that Patrick had been standing there for an entire night?"

"What on earth did he want to do?"

"Did he intend to possess both me and Kelsi? Did he intend to touch me in this extreme way?"

"I won't be touched."

I muttered to myself.

In front of me, because of Patrick's faint, everyone was in a mess.

A waiter brought a stretcher, put Patrick on it, and carried him away. I stood by the side. When Patrick passed by me, I felt a quite light grip on the hem of my clothes.

I was stunned.

"Could it be that he..."

I looked at Patrick. With his eyes closed, his face was pale. At first glance, I could tell that he was in a bad condition.

However, when I turned back, I saw that Kelsi was standing not too far away from me and looking at me. She didn't seem as gentle as before. Neither was she in a panic. On the contrary, she had a sharp look in her eyes. And there was even hatred in her eyes!

I was stunned.

By the time I came to my senses, Kelsi had resumed her previous demeanor. She frowned, ran to the side of Patrick with a nervous look on her face, and grabbed his hand.

Seeing her action, I even doubted if I had seen her wrong just now.

Shelton walked to me and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll be leaving in a minute."

"It's a fine day today. I'd better leave in a hurry."

"As for Patrick's health condition, Kelsi will take care of him. With my status, if I stayed here any longer, I would only embarrass myself"

"I'll go with you," Shelton said.

"Alright."

This time, I didn't refuse him.

The wedding should be considered over by now.

"Shelton." When Shelton was about to accompany me to leave, I heard Sheridan's voice from behind.

Shelton and I looked back together.

"Bro." Shelton was quite respectful to Sheridan.

Sheridan patted him on the shoulder, "Shelton, I've been busy with the wedding these days. And I haven't had a good chat with you. Come to my house in the evening so that we can have a good chat."

"I plan to leave the island with Charlotte. When you return from abroad this time, are you going home directly? How about staying in City Y for a while?"

Shelton immediately rejected Sheridan.

It made me feel a little embarrassed. I said awkwardly, "No need. I can go back by myself. It's been a long time since you and uncle met each other."

"Well, this little girl is sensible." Sheridan said with a smile, "However, don't hurry to leave the island. Have fun here for a few more days. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Sheridan's and Melissa's attitudes towards me were completely different.

He seemed to treat me as Shelton's female companion. So his attitude to me was quite good.

And Sheridan seemed to have a good character.

"I still have something to do at City Y." I glanced at Shelton, "Go to accompany your brother. Let's talk about our things after we go back."

There was a bit of struggle in Shelton's eyes.

I knew that he still wanted to refuse his brother.

I thought of Shelton's position in the Cowell Family, Sheridan was quite kind to him, which happened rarely. I didn't want Sheridan to change his impression of Shelton because of me.

I continued, "Well, I am not a child anymore. I won't encounter any problem if I leave on my own."

After that, I rushed to leave.

Back to my house, I took the things that I had packed up, planning to go to the dock.

As soon as I arrived at the door, a waiter came over and asked me, "Excuse me, are you Charlotte Archer?"

"Yes, I am."

"Mr. Cowell asked me to pick you up and help you leave the island."

Seeing that I agreed, the waiter quickly picked up the suitcase for me and made a gesture to me.

I looked at the waiter and felt that he was unfamiliar. After hesitating for a moment, I asked, "Mr. Cowell? Didn't he faint?"

"Mr. Cowell instructed me so last night. He said that Miss Archer surely would leave the island after the wedding. He asked me to help you hold your things."

The waiter spoke neither fast nor slow.

Judging from his tone, he seemed to have known that I would ask him such a question.

"No wonder that he is Patrick Cowell. He knows me too well."

We arrived at the dock. A row of yachts that looked almost identical was parked there. The waiter directly took me to one of the yachts, put down the luggage, and said, "I wish you a happy life." Then he left.

As soon as I moved my luggage to the deck, the yacht started and gradually drove away from the island.

I looked back and found that no one else was on the yacht except me.

Instantly, a bad feeling welled up in my heart.
