Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 217

Hearing Patrick's words, Lisa and I were both stunned for a moment.

Obviously, Patrick had found out that Lisa was lying.

He texted someone when he went out just now, which I didn't pay much attention to at that time. Now I thought he should be texting Roger.

After we arrived where I was going to pick Lisa up, he only said a few words in front of the car.

"How did he find the truth out?"

Lisa's face didn't look good. However, it seemed that she didn't want to admit it. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked directly into Patrick's eyes, "What are you talking about? Am I acting? It's true that I've been harassed. Also, I called Charlotte and asked her to come here. What are you trying to say?"

"Oh, that's good." Patrick's expression was indifferent. He added, "I booked this room for a month. You can live there. After you've confirmed that no one is disturbing you, you can go back to your house."

It seemed that what Lisa would say, it would be within Patrick's expectation.

Lisa looked at me with a pleading look on her face.

I roughly figured out her purpose and said, "How about... we let her go live with us? I'm alone there every day, feeling boring. And you've been busy recently..."

"No way."

Before I could finish my words, Patrick interrupted me directly, "She can live anywhere but my house."

"Let Charlotte stay at my house!" Lisa said directly, "Anyway, she said that you weren't at home frequently. If she stays at my house, I can keep her accompany. When you want to call her back, you can call her then."

As Lisa spoke, she stretched out her hands and pulled me who was by Patrick's side to her side.

She tightly hugged me with her hands without any intention to let go of me at all.

"... Okay."

Patrick was silent for a while. Unexpectedly, he agreed.

As soon as he said that, I found it a little incredulous.

"Could it be that..."

"Oh! Mr. Cowell, since you have agreed, I'll take her away." Lisa pulled me, intending to walk out of the room.

"Wait a minute."

"What? Mr. Cowell, did you want to go back on your word?"

Lisa turned to look at Patrick.

I stared at Patrick attentively as well and saw that his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't have the slightest bit of emotional fluctuation. It was as if it weren't his girlfriend who would leave with Lisa.

Instead, it seemed that I was someone irrelevant to him.

Patrick raised his head and looked at me. His black eyes were like the water in a well with thousands of years' history. There wasn't any disturbance in his eyes. He just said flatly, "Let Roger send you there. I will get someone to send her things to your place."

... I looked blankly at Patrick.

I couldn't feel more complicated and gloomy in my heart.

Judging from the way he acted... He had been hoping that I would leave him early, right?

Hearing Patrick's words, Roger quickly got up, "Okay, okay. I'll drive you there!"

As he spoke, he grabbed his clothes and walked out. When he reached the door, he pulled it open and made a "please" gesture.

I was standing where I was. Lisa tugged at my arm and said, "Let's go. What are you looking at? He is so eager to let you go. Didn't you see that?"

It seemed that I didn't hear what she had said. I just looked at Patrick and said in a daze, "Then I'm leaving."

"Okay."

Patrick just stared at me once before he took his cell phone out of his pocket.

Then he didn't look at me anymore.

At that moment, I felt disappointed in my heart.

I was pulled away by Lisa. In the car, Roger realized that something went wrong and said, "Miss Archer, well, I think it's your top priority to adjust your face. You can wear a mask outside. But you can't always wear it at home. It surely is because of this that my brother doesn't want to go home."

"I see."

"Is it because of this? I don't know."

Lisa rolled her eyes at him, "Drive at ease. Don't speak up for your brother, a jerk."
