Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 54

However, Caroline did not lose her temper. Instead, she walked to the dining table and sat down on my seat. Then she said in a delicate voice, "I haven't had my breakfast yet."

"Go and prepare another one for her. And put the one for Madam on my side."

Patrick naturally instructed the servants.

I saw that as soon as he finished speaking, Caroline clenched her hand under the table into a fist. And the cyan blood vessels on the back of her hand bulged slightly.

Although I didn't understand what Patrick meant, I walked downstairs as if nothing had happened. Then I sat next to Patrick and watched the servant serve me the breakfast.

Patrick and I sat side by side, eating breakfast alone.

The servant quickly served another breakfast.

Caroline did not touch the food. She said first, "Caroline, the reason why Patrick and I have chosen to forgive you this time is more because that you're the one who was chosen by Grandma and Grandpa Cowell. So we don't want them to be in a dilemma."

"Oh."

I ate breakfast and found her ridiculous when I thought of how she had questioned Patrick over the phone in the morning.

Caroline didn't know about this. So she continued, "So I hope that we can get along well with each other in the future so as not to put Patrick as well as the elders in both families in a difficult position, okay?"

"Did she want to act as if she were a kind person?"

"But I'm going to expose her."

"Really? But why did I hear someone call my husband in the morning to question him, asking why he released me?" After I finished my words, I turned around and looked at Patrick. Then I raised my eyebrows slightly and made a teasing expression, "Isn't that so, honey?"

Caroline's face turned livid. She looked at Patrick as if she was waiting for him to cover up her lie.

However, Patrick focused on having his breakfast.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes."

I was very surprised that he would help me.

His brief answer made Caroline fail to control the look on her face.

She bowed her head and had breakfast silently. After the meal, she left.

I went upstairs to look for my cell phone. Only after that did I remember that my bag and cell phone had been thrown into the car by Patrick and I hadn't taken them along with me.

After I told him this, he gave me the car key.

I got back my cell phone, only to find that it had been turned off.

My cell phone was powered off.

After I turned on the cell phone again, I found that Lisa and Seth had made countless phone calls and sent a lot of text messages to me yesterday.

I hurried back to the room to get back to them.

It turned out that Lisa saw me when I was kidnapped by Patrick yesterday. By the time she chased me, Patrick had already driven the car away.

Later, she tried her best to call me. After that, she contacted Seth.

Seth found Patrick's contact information. At first, he called Patrick. But Patrick didn't pick up his call.

Unexpectedly, Patrick called Seth in the middle of the night yesterday and said, "Charlotte is fine. You don't have to intervene in her affairs in the future. I will take full responsibility for her."

Although Seth was unwilling to give up on me, knowing that I was fine, he didn't continue contacting me.

After saying this, Lisa asked me in a gossip tone, "What does Patrick mean? Did he find that he loved you after he almost lost you?"

I laughed at myself, "Does he loves me? How is it possible? He said that he would never fall in love with me in this life."

"No. I don't think so. For something like love, noboby can be sure about it."

Lisa didn't seem to be convinced by me.

I held the cell phone and shook my head, "He just regards me as his stuff. Even though he doesn't want me, hates me, and dislikes me, he won't allow me to refuse to be controlled by him."

After hearing this, Lisa seemed to think that what I said was reasonable. Then she complained, "Could it be that he thinks that he is the emperor?"

Hanging up the phone, I turned around and saw Patrick standing at the door of the bedroom.

I was stunned and wondered when he had been here. So I asked him, "Mr. Cowell, what's the matter?"

Hearing my address, Patrick couldn't help but frown slightly, "Mr. Cowell? Do you ever hear any woman call their husbands like this?"

"I don't see any man who helped his lover to hide her evil deeds and sent his wife to prison!"

I retorted.

In fact, I was not stupid. Patrick was the boss of the Towering High Group. Of course, he wouldn't try to frame me by all means.

Everything was just Caroline's work.

However, he turned a blind eye to what Caroline had done.

And he even helped her.

Patrick paused for a moment and said, "Take a break and tell me where you want to go. I'm free today. So I can accompany you."

After that, he closed the door and left.

I stared at the closed door blankly. For a moment, I thought I was hallucinating.

Did he say that he was going to accompany me?

But soon I came to my senses. I knew that he was just afraid that I would run away and he did so to keep an eye on me.

I chased after Patrick and said to him who was going downstairs, "No need, Mr. Cowell. I won't go anywhere. Don't worry."

I emphasized the words of "Don't worry."

Then, I went back to the bedroom.

That day, Patrick stayed at home for a whole day. And so did I.

But the two of us didn't say a word.

Originally, I thought that a day would pass like this. In the evening, the servant finished preparing the meal. As soon as I sat down, Patrick's cell phone rang.

He picked the call up. And I heard him shouting, "Grandpa."

Then he got up and went to the living room to answer his call.

I looked over and noticed the look on Patrick's face when he was answering the phone.

After a while, when I was about to pick up my chopsticks and eat, Patrick had already hung up the phone and came over. Then he said, "Get changed. Come with me to Grandpa's house."

I responded, "The two of us?"

Soon, I realized what had happened.

I changed my clothes and took Patrick's car to Ned's house.

When I entered the house, the first one I noticed was not Ned but Caroline, who was sitting next to Ned with proper makeup and obedient posture.

She couldn't hide the complacency in her eyes when she saw me. But she still stood up and said, "Charlotte, you're here."

As soon as I and Patrick went in, Ned, who was originally smiling, became serious. He pounded on the table and said, "If she hadn't told me, how many more things are you going to hide from me?"

"Grandpa, you said she was my wife and asked me to protect her well. That's exactly what I did."

Patrick stood in front of me. I couldn't see his expression. But hearing him say so, I was calm.

Because when we were in the Cowell Family house, Patrick always looked like a good husband.

He was always taking care of me considerately.

So at this moment, I was not surprised that he had spoken up for me.

"How come she is your wife? She has done such a terrible thing. Is she still your wife? Let me tell you. I can't accept such horrible granddaughter-in-law!"

Ned sat on the sofa, looking at me with disgust in his eyes.

I had seen a look like Ned's before. When I was in prison and the worker who had been bribed complained that his family was suffering unfortunate back then, the policeman also looked at me like this.

"Grandpa, how can you be sure that Caroline is telling the truth?" I looked at Grandpa Cowell, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Because Ned was indeed kind to me before.

"I only believe in what the police said." When Ned spoke, he no longer looked at me.

I took a step forward, "But the police will also make a mistake." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

When Caroline heard this, she was obviously holding back her laughter and said, "Charlotte, the police won't make a mistake. And regarding this case, didn't they ask the person involved with a lie detector? Even if the police will be wrong, the lie detector won't."

Her words enlightened me all of a sudden.

"If the lie detector won't make a mistake..."
