Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 225

I looked back and saw Patrick standing behind me.

Seeing him, I began to panic instinctively, fearing that he would say something. So I quickly said to Kelsi, "Then I'll go first."

After that, I left quickly.

Before I could go far, I heard Patrick asking Kelsi, "What did you guys talk about?"

"Miss Archer said that she would leave City Y in a few days."

Kelsi answered.

"What will Patrick think about if he knows I'm leaving?"

I didn't know.

But the answer wouldn't matter to me anymore.

The important thing was that I would no longer be involved in them.

I walked home alone. As soon as I entered the house, I saw Lisa eating instant noodles again.

When she saw me, she sniffed. "Where have you been? Why is the smell of smoke on your

body so strong?"

"Is it so?" I tugged at my clothes and smelled it by myself.

I could only smell a little of it.

"Yes, I'm a stewardess. I'm the most sensitive to the smell of cigarettes." Lisa stood up and walked to my side. Then she took a whiff of the cigarette and said, "Have you gone to see Patrick?"

"No, I didn't."

"You're lying!" Lisa snapped, "Don't lie to me. You surely went to meet him. Tell me, what did you see him for?"

"I..." Looking at Lisa, I, who had held so many things to myself in my heart, failed to hold myself back and said, "Patrick is going to marry Kelsi on his 30th birthday."

"What?" Lisa was stunned as well, "What the heck? So soon?"

"Yes." I smiled self-mockingly, "I thought so. But I asked him, only to find that they have been engaged for more than half a year..."

"Then why did he come to harass you?"

"He said he was addicted to sleeping with me."

My words infuriated Lisa. She reached out for her coat directly and said, "Did he say that?

F*ck, I'm going to kill him!"

"Don't!" I pulled Lisa's arm and said, "Forget it. Let bygones be bygones. I need to start anew again. If I continue to be entangled with him, I can never make a comeback."

I needed a new life.

I needed to start a life without Patrick.

"...Well, yes, you have to live well! Only then will he regret it so much!"

Except for saying so, Lisa probably didn't know how to comfort me.

I went back to my room and looked at the watercolor papers piled up in the corner. Then I took out one piece and stuck it to the drawing board. I took out the watercolor pigment and began to draw.

It wasn't until I started drawing that I found the way Patrick had smoked in front of the window was deeply impressed in my mind.

As for every ray of light and every color back then...

I remembered them quite clearly.

As long as I started writing, I could draw smoothly with no deliberation.

After I finished drawing...

I looked at this painting. And tears began to fall once more.

"Patrick, everything between us is indeed over this time."

"Youn should never come to harass me again."

I put the drawing board in the reverse direction in my room, took out my cell phone, and blacklisted his phone number.

It was over.

Everything was over.

The next day, Kelsi contacted me to go through the transferring procedures of the house. And I went to the bank to transfer the money to her.

After getting in touch with Kelsi for a whole day, I felt more and more strongly that Kelsi was indeed the one most suitable for Patrick.

She spoke gently and properly. And she was quite considerate towards others.

With such a woman staying by Patrick's side, I surely couldn't be reluctant.

The next day, Kelsi's friend moved out of my house.

He informed me to fetch the key.

It was the first time for me to see the man living in this house.

He, who seemed to be younger than me, wore a long-sleeved T-shirt, casual pants, and a pair of sneakers. His face was full of youthfulness.

When he saw me, he ran over and said, "Kelsi said I should look for someone wearing a mask. So I recognized you at a glance."

As he spoke, he handed me a small bag in his hands.

I took a look inside and saw that it was a key, an electric card, and something like that inside.

I whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The man said with a smile, "I heard of your situation from her. So I vacated your house in a hurry. It has been only a few days since I lived here. I hired a housekeeper yesterday to clean it up. Don't worry."

"Thank you."

"Don't keep thanking me" The man reached out his hands, "I'm Bache Reid. Don't call me by my name. In fact, I'm a chatterbox. Haha."

As soon as Bache said so, he laughed out loud first.

I looked at him and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Bache, my name is Charlotte Archer."

"Miss Archer, I'm leaving now. Go back to the house and check if there are any problems. If yes, you can contact me again." As he said this, he took out a notebook from his pocket and wrote a phone number on it.

Then he tore the page off and gave it to me.

In fact, I found that birds of a feather flocked together.

Kelsi was so kind. And the one she knew was so serious and reliable as well.

I took my things upstairs.

As soon as I inserted the key into the keyhole, Shelton's door opened.

Shelton stood at the door and said with a smile, "Did you buy the house back? Congratulations."

"Yes." When I saw Shelton, I suddenly realized that it had been a long time since I had seen him last time.

But now that I saw him, I could still feel a sense of familiarity with him.

"That day, I saw the young man living in this house. I told him about you. He is a reasonable person." Shelton looked at me, "If you need to move your things inside, call me at any time. I can help you."

"No need. I can get it done by myself."

I subconsciously refused.

Shelton's expression did not change. He just smiled faintly and said, "Well, if you need any help, let me know."

I nodded, turned the key, and wanted to go in. Suddenly, I thought of my face and turned around to call Shelton. "Mr. Shelton, I indeed need your help with something."

I told Shelton that I wanted to repair my facial skin.

When he heard my words, there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

After hearing me out, he nodded confidently. "No problem. It is correct for you to come to me for this matter. I'll help you contact a doctor first."

"Thank you." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"You don't have to be so polite to me. I'll contact a doctor for you right now."

After Shelton said that, he went into his room without closing the door.

I didn't think much about it. I went into my house and took a walk around it.

It was clean inside the house. And it was almost the same as what it had been when I had moved out.

It was like a brand new house.

I was sincerely grateful in my heart.

"Charlotte Archer." I walked around the room. When I came out, I saw Shelton standing at the entrance and holding a cell phone in his hand. Then he said to me, Tve contacted a doctor for you. This expert happens to be in City Y. I've made an appointment with him. You can be there any time in the next three days. You can also go there now."

"Well, let's go to him now."

After I experienced Patrick's blow, all I wanted to do was to cure my face as soon as possible and start a new life.

Shelton wasn't surprised at my choice at all. He nodded and said, "OK, I'll go get my coat and start the car. I will wait for you in the underground garage. You can come down after you've tidied yourself up."

I was wearing a jacket. So I locked the door and got downstairs with Shelton by the elevator.

On the way to see the expert, Shelton said, "Patrick is getting married. Do you know that?"
