Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 176

"Boss, how come you still remember me?"

I was a little surprised.

"Of course I can. You haven't changed much in recent years. I surely can recognize you." The owner of the restaurant said happily and looked at Patrick, "Is this your boyfriend? He looks so noble. At first glance, I know that he isn't an ordinary person

Admittedly, the owner of the restaurant was discerning.

I hooked up the corner of my lips, "No, he's just my..."

"I'm her boyfriend."

Knowing what I was going to say, Patrick spoke first.

Glacing at him, I didn't bother to argue with him.

The owner of the restaurant smiled and placed a menu on our table, "Did you quarrel? It's okay. You'll get along with each other after having my food."

The menu in the restaurant was still the same. Like before, it was bound by a few pieces of paper. And the price of the dishes

on it was written by the owner in person.

So many years had passed. The price of the dishes hadn't increased much.

I looked at the price of the dishes and frowned slightly, "Boss, I'm afraid that you will lose money if you do business like this."

The owner of the restaurant laughed and said, "No worry. The reason I do business is to make myself happy. I'm happy that old customers like you are willing to chat with me here. As for making money, it is not that important."

I ordered two dishes that I used to eat before and then handed the menu to Patrick.

I asked him what he would like to order.

Patrick looked at the menu with a confused look on his face. Finally, he said, "Up to you."

"Gentleman, you are a powerful boss at first glance. Come on. I'll recommend some to you." The owner of the restaurant was easygoing. So he immediately picked up the menu and recommended some dishes to Patrick.

Even though the owner had been talking for a long time, Patrick only ordered one dish, that was, fried shreds of pork with fungus and eggs.

The owner went to cook.

Only Patrick and I were in the small restaurant. And I said, "Mr. Cowell, did you see it? This is my life. And you and I are in two different worlds."

Patrick frowned slightly, "Hadn't you been fine before? Why are you always saying these things now?"

I lowered my head, hesitated for a moment, and raised my head, saying word by word, "Patrick, I used to love you very much. I used to love you so much. Despite whether we are in the same world or not and whether there is a great difference between us, I was willing to overcome the hardships to be with you. I was willing to adapt to your life. With a glance from you, I would be willing to face any danger."

When Patrick heard what I had said, there wasn't a trace of joy in his eyes.

On the contrary, there was a touch of dense sadness in his eyes.

I went on, "But after so many things, my feelings for you have been worn down by you.

I don't want to love you anymore. I'm tired."

"Charlotte, I..."

"Here comes the dish!"

When Patrick wanted to say something, the owner came out with a plate of fried shreds

of pork with fungus and eggs in his hand. Smelling the fragrance, I, who hadn't eaten the dishes here for so many years, knew that the owner's cooking skills didn't change at all.

His cooking skills were as amazing as ever.

The owner stood aside and boasted, "Come on. I'm not boasting. The dishes cooked by the chefs of a five-star hotel probably won't be delicious as those cooked by me."

Patrick looked at the owner as if he were waiting for him to leave.

I knew the owner of the restaurant here. He was so warm-hearted that he wouldn't leave so easily.

"Let's eat the dish," I said to Patrick with a smile. "Let's not talk about unhappy things over a meal. Otherwise, our appetite will be affected. We'll talk about it after we finish eating."

Patrick hesitated for a moment before he nodded.

After he took a bite of the dish, judging from his expression, I knew that he liked the dish here very much!
