Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 254

After I said that, Patrick's eyes dimmed. Fearing that he would misunderstand me, I smiled slightly and added, "Ever since my parents left me, I realized that what they said was right."

"Your parents..."

"They died in a flight disaster."

When I spoke, I had a calm look on my face. I was neither sorrowful nor sad.

It wasn't because I wasn't talking about my own matters.

Instead, it was because, before this, I had figured out how I should tell others if this matter happened to me.

I thought that with my character, I surely wouldn't cry or show too much pain.

Looking at me, Patrick was silent for a long time. Then he said, "Sorry, I didn't know about this."

"It's all right. It is a matter of the past. I have to move on."

As I put down all the documents in my hands on the table one after another, my cell phone rang.

It was a call from Calvin.

I talked to him about some things about the project on the phone.

When I hung up the phone and looked up again, I saw that Patrick had finished his coffee and that he was washing the mug by the sink on the side.

Seeing this, I was stunned.

It seemed to be the first time I had seen Patrick washing something by himself.

His action made me feel sour in my heart.

He and Kelsi should get along with each other well.

For a man like Patrick, he casually washed his mug after finishing the coffee, showing that he surely was on good terms with his wife...

After washing the mug, he looked up at me.

I looked away quickly and took out my cell phone, pretending that I was going to make a call.

However, I couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart.

"I have to go now."Patrick's voice came from the direction of the sink.

"Okay." I forced a smile and looked at him, "Goodbye, Mr. Cowell."

He opened the door and left.

I finally didn't have to suppress my emotions. Squatting down in the corner little by little, I buried my face between my knees.

My heart was filled with endless regret.

I indeed shouldn't have come to City Y.

Originally, I thought I had let go of him before coming here. It wasn't until I saw him that...

I knew that I didn't let him go. Instead, it was because I couldn't see him anymore that I didn't think of him for the time being.

"The excitement of Nirvana, the urge to enjoy a glorious rebirth..."

My cell phone rang.

It was my personal phone number.

Normally, only two people would call me at this number. One was Ryan Teague. And the other was Shelton.

It was Shelton who was calling me.

After I picked up the call, Shelton spoke first, "Where are you? I just went to the office you mentioned. The staff there said that you had moved to a new studio this morning."

"Well, Patrick arranged a studio for me. I couldn't refuse him. So I moved out."

I wouldn't hide anything from Shelton.

I told Shelton the address of this studio.

Soon, he came with a lunch box.

After he opened the lunchbox, I saw three dishes inside.

Admittedly, the dishes cooked by Shelton were quite delicious. When he lived in the studio of Town S over these years, even Glenn loved the dishes cooked by him.

This time, I, who had been confident about my cooking skills, felt that Shelton's cooking skills were much better than mine.

"You should be hungry. Eat first before doing anything else," Shelton said as he took out the tableware wrapped in a handkerchief.

"Thank you."

I sat down without being polite to Shelton.

Holding tableware in my hands, I began to eat.

Shelton looked around the house, "It's quite good here. Patrick indeed cares about you."

"No." I lowered my head and ate the dishes, "I'll go back to Towan S after this project is done. I won't come back here again."

After I said this, Shelton didn't say anything for a long time.

It wasn't until I looked up at him that he said, "In fact, for the sake of your career, I think you should stay here."

As soon as I heard his words, I got his point. With a look on my face indicating that I had seen everything through, I said, "Did my master ask you to be his lobbyist?"

Shelton was stunned for a moment before nodding, "I indeed can't hide it from you."

I lowered my head and ate.

As a matter of fact, I knew what Ryan was thinking about.

Besides, it would be more suitable for me to pursue my career in City Y.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's quite difficult for me to pursue my career here. My team isn't here. The craftsmen all work for my master. If I want to recruit all these people in City Y, it's not like that I can solve it with money."

To work on this kind of Chinese gardening design, the workers had to be genuinely capable.

Even if a craftsman educated his disciple, the disciple couldn't handle everything independently within one year or two.

"That's true." Shelton nodded.

I looked at him, pondered on it for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Shelton, where do you want me to be?"

He seemed to be surprised to hear that I would ask for his opinion. Looking at me, he hesitated for a moment and said, "If you choose me, I hope you can stay in City Y. Because it is more suitable for you to pursue your career in City Y."

"Choosing you in the end?"

"I fear that Patrick will make you change your mind. In that case, I would rather you stay away from him."

As soon as Shelton explained to me, I got his point.

Thinking about what happened just now, I didn't have any confidence in myself.

I lowered my head, had another mouthful of rice, and said, "It's not easy to find a craftsman. Without solving this problem. I can't stay here either."

In the following days, I basically spent most of my time in the studio.

With the development of the construction site's preparation and the construction work, the deadline for my gardening landscape design was around the corner.

To better complete the design, I worked more at night. By the time I went to bed every day, it had been early in the morning.

Generally speaking, after I got up, it happened that Shelton would come here to have lunch with me.

The design drawings from the design institute had been released. The construction on the construction site had begun. And a portion of the gardening design on my side got started as well.

When it came to the gardening landscape design, Archaic Architecture Sect tended to refer to the ancient watering method to nurture the plants. Not only could it prevent water from being ponded but it could make the plants grow well-proportionately.

The drawing of the gardening design was different from those of common landscape gardening. The worker here simply said that they couldn't figure out what I was drawing at all.

However hard I tried to explain to him, he expressed that he didn't understand my drawings.

I had no choice but to ask Ryan for help and ask him to send two workers to City Y to help me. At least, I should make the workers know what my drawings mean first.

Ryan agreed quite readily.

The next day, he sent two old masters to me.

I went to the airport to pick them up.

It wasn't until I arrived at the airport that I realized that Town S was shrouded in a fog, delaying the plane from taking off by two hours.

It would be troublesome if I went back. So I simply waited there by the side.

When I was sitting on the seat and waiting, someone with a familiar voice passed by me.

It was Kelsi.

Although I hadn't seen her for five years, I recognized her at a glance.

Compared to her looks five years ago, she almost didn't change. Even her hairstyle was exactly the same. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Wearing a long and light- blue dress, she carried a Himalaya bag decorated with a lot of accessories in her hands.

She seemed to be low-key. In fact, she was of quite a high profile.

Staring at her closely, I wondered who she would pick up here.

Kelsi waited in the reception room for a while. Then a young man in a black T-shirt came out.

Seeing him, kelsi happily waved her hand.

The man walked over to her quickly.

Originally, I thought Kelsi was here to pick up an ordinary friend of hers. However, the next second, something that surprised me happened!

Kelsi and the young man hugged and kissed each other quickly.
