Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 350

On the way here, I had guessed that Melissa would ask me so.

After all, Patrick was her only son. He and Kelsi had been married for a few years. Even though they wanted to have a grandchild, there was no news of Kelsi's pregnancy at all.

Now Glenn suddenly appeared.

Moreover, he is healthy, sensible, and talkative as well as favored by everyone.

If Melissa didn't know Glenn, it would be fine. But now that she suddenly knew that Glenn probably was her own grandson, she surely would have him on her mind.

However, I had been wondering how to answer her properly.

I looked at Melissa. Without saying anything, Melissa was more nervous than me.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt, regarding this matter, I can't reveal its truth to you. At least, I can't be the one that tells you."

I assumed that after hearing my words, Melissa surely would understand.

After hearing what I said, Melissa, who wasn't stupid, looked gloomy, "Is it true that he is my grandson?"

I didn't say anything.

Melissa looked at me and said somewhat reluctantly, "I heard that when the head of the Archer Family asked my son to marry you, he was quite happy. Moreover, after you got married, he didn't treat you well. Why did you get along with each other after a few years' separations? How come my son actually divorced because of you?"

Melissa couldn't figure it out.

In fact, when it came to some things, they probably were predestined.

I took a sip of the coffee in front of me and asked Melissa, "Auntie, do you remember that Patrick was kidnapped and almost died in his childhood?"

"Of course."

Melissa admitted it.

She nodded and looked at me. "Could it be that..."

"Well, it was me who saved him back then. But we didn't have any contact. It wasn't until I returned to the Archer Family and he was going to marry Caroline that I had a formal interaction with him for the first time." I looked into the distance and recalled, "At that time, I wondered why Patrick liked Caroline as well. Later, I learned that out of nowhere, Caroline knew what had happened between Patrick and me and pretended to be me."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

I said without any doubt.

Melissa became much more gentle in an instant, "It turns out that the little girl back then is you."

"Do you know about this?"

Melissa said in a more friendly tone, "Of course, I know." She took a sip of the fruit tea in front of her and pursed her lips, "Hearing you say so, I immediately understand why my son is obsessed with you."

Melissa's expression indicated that she enjoyed a secret delight after knowing her son's little secrets.

I looked at her and suddenly wanted to know what happened to Patrick when he was a child.

Back then, I wasn't by Patrick's side. I wanted to know what Patrick looked like when he was young.

Or, I wanted to know Patrick recalled me when he was a child.

Melissa looked at me and said with a smile, "In fact, Patrick had been looking for you ever since he came back, only to fail. To find you, we specifically posted notice of looking for you in the surrounding residential quarter. We also specifically asked some people to ask the staff in various primary and middle schools around. We even asked the staff in the kindergartens. Unfortunately, we all failed. Nobody expected that you would be in an orphanage."

"Thinking normally and logically, nobody will think of going to find me in an orphanage."

"Or, in the normal people's opinion, they would consciously ignore the likelihood that I might be in an orphanage."

"Yes." Melissa said, "We had been looking for you for several months, only to fail to find you. Finally, we had to give up. For this, Patrick had been holding a grudge against us for a long time."

"Is that so..."

"Did Patrick become angry because of me?"

Knowing this, I felt warm-hearted all of a sudden.

"Do you know why Patrick's father and I are both abroad, leaving Patrick at home alone?"

Hearing Melissa's question, I seemed to understand something.

I looked at her and guessed,"... Was it because of me?"

Melissa nodded, "At that time, Patrick refused to leave, confusing us. We wanted to force him to leave with us. After all, he was our only son. And we couldn't bear to part with him. He told us the real reason. After discussing with his father, I didn't force him anymore."

It turned out that Patrick didn't go abroad because of me.

All of a sudden, I was relieved.

I was relieved after knowing everything Patrick had done for Caroline and me.

He had been looking for me for so long. Knowing that Caroline was me, although he was unwilling, he could only accept it and take responsibility for her.

My appearance broke his balance.

Melissa, who originally had a sweet expression on her face as she recalled the past, looked at me and put away all her expressions, saying, "However, it is all in the past. It is all over. You are now Shelton's fiancee. Please don't get entangled with Patrick anymore."

I couldn't adapt to her changes in a short time.

I, who had faced her roughness calmly just now, couldn't be sadder at this time.

However, what Melissa had said was right.

Her words brought me back to reality.

"Even though Patrick had been looking for me for a long time and refused to go abroad for me, so what?"

"It is all the timing's fault."

"If we missed each other, we couldn't go back."

I lowered my eyes and put away my depression. Only after that did I raise my head and looked at Melissa, "I know."

"I'm not making things difficult for you. I'm not trying to break you up. You and Shelton have held an engagement party. And..." Melissa looked at me, "Do you know how many things Shelton is in control of?"

"He is in charge of a pharmaceutical company. In addition to the medicines that have been available in the market and valid within the patent time, there are more medicines in the research and experimental stages. Once they are in the market in success, he will gain a lot of benefits," I replied.

Coincidentally, I went to Shelton's pharmaceutical company a few days ago.

What I had said wasn't a secret.

Glorious Light Pharmacy had always been like this. It was just that others and I hadn't paid attention to it before.

Melissa wasn't surprised that I knew this. She nodded and said, "That's right. Apart from that, he covered throughout both the gangs and the police. And he's not someone that can be trifled with. Patrick is my only son. He can't afford such a big risk."

"What do you mean..."

Melissa's words made me nervous instantly.

Melissa looked at me and wanted to say something, only to hold herself back in the end. She opened her mouth and said in the end, "In short, whether you are Charlotte Archer or Janetta Nolan, please stay away from my son. If anything happens to him again, I won't let you go."

When it came to Shelton, Melissa changed her attitude toward me greatly. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

After that, she took her bag and left.

I sat there alone, thinking Melissa's last words over and over again. Could it be that Shelton indeed...

For no reason, I wasn't surprised to hear that Shelton covered throughout both the gangs and the police.

With a bag in my hands, I roamed around outside. Towering High wasn't far away from this cafe.

I walked to somewhere not far away from Towering High, intending to go closer to have a look.

Unexpectedly, a lot of reporters were at the entrance of Towering High!

Many bodyguards stood there, trying to stop them with all their might.

The bodyguards stopped the reporters from entering.

As I stood far away, I heard the reporters shouting, "May I ask if there is any response from Mr. Cowell about the statement that men in the Cowell Family share the same wife?"
