Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 153

I knew that Mabel wasn't apologizing to me or Seth sincerely.

Instead, she was afraid of offending Patrick.

I, who didn't want to stay here any longer, let go of her and left.

The entire resort was closed during the final. The judges didn't arrive yet. Apart from the staff, only seven of us, Patrick, and Jeremy were guests here.

If Patrick went to block me at the entrance of my room, I surely would have nowhere to run.

In case something would go wrong, I didn't go back to my room. Instead, I wandered around.

I had to admit that this resort was well-facilitated.

There was a swimming pool, a small-sized golf course, and a circus arena.

However, since there was no audience, the circus arena was closed.

I looked around and glanced at my watch. Seeing that it was past 10 p,m., I thought that Patrick probably wouldn't come to me...

As I was walking back, it suddenly rained. And the sky was filled with stars a few minutes ago.

In the blink of an eye, it was raining cats and dogs.

I rushed back. Just as I was about to rush to the door of my room, I collided with someone who rushed out of the corner!

And her head hit right at the elbow of my hand with which I covered my head!

’Ah!"

She fell to the ground. And a painful voice came from the rain.

"I'm sorry." I apologized and took a closer look. It turned out to be Nancy. I called her, "Nancy."

Nancy raised her head and saw me.

She, who didn't say anything, wanted to leave.

I grabbed her hand and said, "It's raining so heavily. My room is here. Come in to take shelter from the rain."

She turned to look at me. The rain was too heavy. And the night was too dark. I couldn't see her expression clearly. But I heard her say, "Thank you."

It seemed that she agreed.

She went into the room with me.

Out of politeness, I let her take a shower first. And I wrapped myself in a towel while waiting in a corner.

It wasn't until she finished taking a shower that I went in to take a shower.

Each room of this resort could accommodate two people. So bathrobe, towels, and other things were all a set.

After I took a shower and came out in a bathrobe, I saw Nancy sitting on the sofa in a bathrobe. When she saw me, she said with some embarrassment, "Thank you, it should be a sudden shower. After the rain stops in a while, I will leave."

I said politely, "No need. No need. Don't worry."

Nancy seemed to be a nice person. But when I actually got to know her, I felt that she seemed to be quite alienated.

It had been raining for a long time outside. I stood in front of the bed and looked at the rain outside. While Nancy was sitting on the sofa.

Staying in the room, both of us couldn't help but be embarrassed.

"Ding-dong."

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

I, who didn't think much about it, went to open the door.

The door opened.

It was Patrick standing at the door.

He had an umbrella in his hand. And his hair was sticking to his face as the rain slid down his hair. I lowered my head and saw that his trousers were wet.

I, who was stunned, wanted to say something. But when I thought of Nancy who was in my room, I could only say, "What's the matter?"

"Who is it?"

Before Patrick could speak, Nancy stood up and walked over.

When she saw Patrick, she was also stunned. And she said, "Mr. Cowell."

The atmosphere, which had been very awkward just now, became more strange now. Nancy looked at me and then at him as she said, "I'll leave first."

"Don't..."

It was raining outside. If Nancy went out like this, she probably would catch a cold tomorrow.

Patrick blocked the door and explained, "No need. It's raining heavily outside. I'm just here to see if she's back. I was worried that she would be still outside."

He was explaining to Nancy...
