Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 204

I felt warm-hearted in my heart. I knew that he was sincerely doing so for my sake. If I wanted to go to the banquets, he would prepare a gown for me.

If I didn't want to go, he wouldn't mind.

"Thank you, I, I won't go there." I was grateful to him for the fact that he took my feelings into his consideration. But I didn't want to cause him any trouble.

Soon, the waiter was done with putting away the clothes in the locker room and removed the hanger.

Judging from the series of movements, I realized that the business trip this time should be very important to Patrick.

I'd better stay in the room obediently.

Patrick didn't force me, "It's up to you. You can do whatever you want. Don't think that you will trouble me."

He went into the house to change his clothes. I looked at his back and felt a little strange in my heart.

I recalled our wedding night.

The man, who had pressed me under his

body and said that I wouldn't be even worthy of being his dog, unexpectedly treated the woman he loved like this.

"Knock. Knock. Knock."

Sounds of knocking on the door rang. As I was about to call Patrick, I heard Jeremy's voice coming from outside, "Mr. Cowell, the car is ready."

"He's changing clothes. Wait a minute."

Wearing a bathrobe, I couldn't open the door. So I hurried in to call Patrick.

He had put on his coat at this time. When he saw me, he pressed down my mask with his fingers and pressed them on my lips. Then he said, "Wait for me here until I come back."

After that, he went out.

I found a suit of clothes which I found convenient in the locker room and put them on. Then I sat in front of the dressing table.

The dressing table of this room was combined with the bathroom, making the dressing table very large. I sat there, took off the mask, and looked at my twisted face in the mirror quietly.

Everything would be fine if I covered my left face.

After I covered my right cheek, my left cheek would be rather ugly.

But when I revealed my two cheeks at the same time, it went the other way around.

I looked particularly ugly and savage!

"How can I, who look like this, accompany Patrick to a so-called banquet?"

I suddenly found the thought which had popped up in my mind just now stupid and ridiculous.

I got up and picked up the notebook and watercolor pigment. Sitting in front of the big French window, I began to draw.

I hadn't drawn for a long time. When I started to draw this time, I found that I had never put this technique behind and that I loved painting from the bottom of my heart.

I sat in front of the window and kept drawing one after another.

I kept drawing from the bright daylight till the sunset.

It wasn't until my stomach was growling that I realized that I hadn't eaten anything for a whole day.

I, who didn't want to go out, could only call the guest room service.

In the evening, Patrick came back at around

11 p.m. As soon as he pushed the door open and came in, I was greeted by the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and strong perfume smell of women.

I couldn't help frowning as I asked, "Where have you been?"

"I was engaged in social activities."

As soon as Patrick saw me, he loosened his tie, hugged me directly, and took off my mask, kissing me, "Baby, I've been thinking about you all day long today."

When he kissed me, the taste of alcohol spread in my mouth. I could feel that he had drunk a lot of wine.

Of course, I could sense the smell of perfume as well.

I, who didn't know much about perfume, could distinguish that the smell of perfume and powder was from various women.

Feeling somewhat upset in my heart, I pushed Patrick away, "Alright. Go take a shower. You are smelly."

"Then you should accompany me."
