Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 192

"From now on, you'll live here. And I'll live in your next door."

Shelton got off the car and followed me.

"The next door?" I looked at the next door, which was a house with the same layout as this one.

But there was nothing in the yard.

Shelton handed me a small bag in his hand, "Here are your passport and identification card. I also bought you a cell phone where there is a local sim card. By the way, there is cash inside as well. If you want to leave here, you can leave at any time."

I opened the bag and checked all kinds of things.

This feeling was so wonderful.

Before, Patrick confined me and refused to let me go. I tried my best to leave him. But now, I was here. And Shelton gave me everything. I was completely free. However, I found that I was in a good place instead.

Shelton handed me a key and asked me to go into the room to have a look.

I walked inside, only to find that he was still

standing at the door. I turned to him and asked, "Why don't you come in?"

"This is your home now. If the master doesn't invite me in, of course, I can't go in." Shelton smiled faintly.

I was stunned for a moment.

And I made a "please" gesture.

Only after that did Shelton come in.

He accompanied me to have a look around the room. The whole room was divided into two floors. On the ground floor, there was a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen.

There was a room for getting changed, a study, and a big bedroom upstairs.

There was a large balcony attached to the window of the bedroom. Several small shelves with various flowers on them were placed on the balcony.

It was like a small house in a cartoon book.

"Do you like it?"

When I was staring at the flowers on the windowsill in a daze, Shelton asked me from behind...

"Yes." I nodded.

Shelton nodded and said, "That's good. I've asked someone to buy you some daily necessities and clothes. You can have a rest first. We'll go to the town for dinner later." He looked at his watch and said, "Let's set off in half an hour."

"Okay."

After Shelton left, I went to the windowsill, sat on the metal chair, and looked into the distance. The sunset glow was fading bit by bit.

Everything was so quiet and beautiful.

However, I had been thinking of someone all the time.

It was Patrick Cowell.

"Where is he now? How is he? Is he still taking the anti-exposure drugs?"

"What will he do if he can't find me?"

I had been eager to leave him. And it was I who hated him for taking my child away on his own accord.

But now that I indeed left him. And he was on my mind instead.

Half an hour passed by in a flash. But I forgot what time it was.

As I looked at the sunset, I heard the sounds of light footsteps behind me. Someone stood behind me and asked, "What are you thinking about..."

This voice...

"Pa..." I subconsciously called out Patrick's name. But when I looked back and saw the person behind me, a profound disappointment rose in my heart. I forced a smile and said, "Mr. Shelton, why are you here?"

Shelton pointed to the watch on his wrist and said, "We have made an appointment to have dinner together half an hour later."

"Ah." I thought of this matter and said with some apology, "I'm sorry, I forgot it."

Shelton shook his head, "It's okay. Are you hungry now? If you're not hungry, we can go to have dinner later. There's a time difference between here and where we were before..."

"I'm hungry."

I interrupted him and stood up.

After all, it was me who had asked Shelton to save me. Now he did as I said. I surely couldn't put on a sulky look.

He did nothing wrong.

If someone indeed did something wrong, I would be the only one who was at fault.

Shelton said that he wanted to take me to a restaurant for dinner. At the thought that my face was like this, I refused.
