Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 286

The teacher's words put me into an extremely awkward situation.

Moreover, I needed to fill out the birthday, workplace, blood type, and so on of Glenn's father.

Helplessly, I could only call and ask Shelton item by item.

When I asked about Shelton's birthday, he told me it was November 13th.

I didn't realize that Shelton's birthday was coming in a few days until I finished writing that!

I wouldn't know about this at all if I hadn't filled in the form that day.

When I finished filling in the table and was going to pay the tuition fees, the teacher told me that Shelton had already paid.

It was a private kindergarten, and the tuition was nearly 5,000 dollars a semester.

Hearing the teacher's words, I felt a little surprised. "How long would his payment sustain?" The teacher browsed through the records and said, "He had paid the fees for the remaining one and a half years."

Since he had paid, it was impossible for me to ask the teacher to refund his money.

I said thank you to the teacher and got out to look for Glenn.

There was a small indoor sea ball playground in this kindergarten. When I was filling in the table, Glenn was playing inside, and there were several other children.

When I came out, I saw that Glenn and two kids were queuing up to glide from a slide, and they were getting on very well.

When I called Glenn, he was loath to part with the kids.

I was immediately relieved.

In the evening, after Shelton got off work, he took Glenn to supper.

As a small town, Town S didn't have many fastfood restaurants. Shelton asked Glenn what he wanted to eat. Glenn answered without any hesitation, "I want pizza."

Shelton spoiled Glenn very much, so he naturally agreed to his request.

After that, Glenn wanted to goto the amusement park to catch toys from claw machines, and Shelton agreed to him without refusal.

In particular, when Glenn was catching toys for Glenn, he was quite patient.

His skills were very awful. They hadn't took out a small doll even though he had spent fifty dollars.

I felt a little distressed and said, "Forget it. Even if you buy one, it won't cost so much."

However, Shelton shook his head. "No, Glenn wants it. How can I let him down? Aren't I useless in that case?"

In the end, after spending nearly 80 dollars, Shelton took out the doll from the machine.

When the doll dropped from the outlet of the machine, Glenn jumped up with joy!

He took the doll, then hugged Shelton and said to him, "Thank you, Shelton. Shelton is the best!"

Looking at the happy and worshipful look in Glenn's eyes, I finally understood Shelton's intention.

He was preparing to be Glenn's father.

I didn't have a child's room at home, so Glenn slept with me at night.

When I put him to bed, Glenn put his arms around my neck and asked, "Mom, is Shelton going to be my father?"

I was stunned.

Could a child be so sensitive?

I asked him, "Do you want Shelton to be your father?"

Glenn cocked his head, thought for a while, and said, "Glenn wants his own father to be his father."

"Your own father?"

"Yes, my own father." He blinked his big eyes and looked at me. "Mom, everyone else has a father, but I don't have one? No matter how good Shelton is, Shelton is not Glenn's father."

Although Glenn said it in a roundabout way, I could understand what he meant.

Indeed, Shelton was not his father.

However...

I patted his little head and said, "Glenn, your father is no longer with us. In the future, Shelton is going to be your father; he will do the same as your own father and even better."

What would Patrick be like as a father?

I didn't know.

But in my heart, Patrick would be a good father...

However, I might never verify it.

Glenn's sparkling eyes rolled in his eyes as if he was trying to think hard. After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, then let Shelton be my father. As long as I have a father, it's okay.”

I understood. Deep down Glenn was longing for a father.

Listening to his words, I was more determined to marry Shelton.

At least Glenn could have a father, and at least Shelton could treat Glenn well.

The next morning, Shelton accompanied me to take Glenn to the kindergarten.

After Glenn went inside, Shelton suddenly took my hand and said, "Recently, I've checked some completed apartments in several complexes. Some of them are not bad. Let's go check our new house."

His words came out of nowhere, and I was a little surprised.

When he saw that I didn't speak, he asked me, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"No." I shook my head and said with a smile, "It's up to you. I'm jobless now. What else can I do?"

Although I had decided to set up a new studio in City Y, it was still a long way to go.

Shelton took me to three or four complexes.

One of them was particularly close to Glenn's kindergarten, and the remained apartment was well decorated, with a reasonable layout and with yards in both front and back.

There was a gym in it, and there was a public library next to it.

It was very good in all aspects.

When he asked my opinion, I just said, "I think it's good."

He took out his bank card and said to the sales lady, "We'll book this one."

The sales lady was so surprised and happy. It seemed that she had never seen such a fat cat before.

She quickly went to swipe the card.

"You, don't you think about it anymore? Such an expensive house..."

I looked at Shelton in disbelief.

He reached out his hands and held me in his arms. His thin lips drew a handsome curve as he said, "I have bought the house and paid the money. It's impossible for you to take back your word." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"... I don't intend to take back my word." I hesitated for a moment and said, "Such an expensive house, why don't I pay some for it, or I'll pay for the furniture and the car?"

I didn't know why I felt very guilty about Shelton spending money to buy the house.

Hearing this, he shook his head helplessly and reached out his hand to touch the tip of my nose. "No, it's natural for men to make money to support their families."

At this time, the sales lady had already taken back the card, made a gesture of "please" and said, "Please come with us to sign the contract."

Shelton nodded, lifted my hand up, and spread it in front of him. Then, he put the card that he had just used to buy the apartment in the palm of my hand.

"This is..."

I didn't understand.

He looked at me and said very seriously, "From now on, my income, except for the company's necessary working capital, will be transferred to this card."

After he said that, he pressed my four fingers inward to make me hold the card, and continued to say, "This card will be handed over to you from now on. All the household expenses can be paid from it. The password is your birthday."

I looked at Shelton in a daze. I couldn't believe that he had given the card to me.

It meant that he gave all the money to me.

I thought for a moment and finally made sense of it. I shook my head and said, "How can you do this. I..." "You're going to be my wife soon. From ancient times to the present, the wife takes care of money. I just did what a husband should do in all times." After saying that, Shelton gently kissed me on the forehead. "Please take it, then I'll be at ease."
