Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 221

I turned off my cell phone, pretending that I hadn't seen the message before.

By the time I arrived at the downstairs of Lisa's house, I bought some fruits before I went upstairs, fearing that Lisa would ask me about this.

As soon as I arrived in the corridor, I saw a man standing at the staircases and killing time with his cell phone.

"Roger Lance?"

I eyed him and found that it was indeed Roger Lance.

When he saw me, his eyes lit up, saying, "Oh, my dear sister-in-law, did you go out? That's great. How about you take me in?"

"Don't call me sister-in-law. I have nothing to do with him anymore. If you want to call someone sister-in-law, go to Kelsi Clark." After I said this, I said, "Regarding taking you into Lisa's house, it isn't my call. After all, this isn't my home."

"How can you ask me to do that? My brother and Kelsi are indeed childhood sweethearts." Although Roger was older than me, he didn't

feel embarrassed at all when he called me sister-in-law. He continued, "It's true. You are the only one my brother loves the most. He told me so last time!"

Originally, I was ready to press the elevator button.

Upon hearing Roger's words, I withdrew my hands and looked at him.

Seeing that I stopped, Roger continued, "It's true. I went to drink with my brother back then. And he drank too much. So he told me that if he would marry someone again in the rest of his life, it has to be you."

Looking at Roger, I couldn't feel more complicated in my heart.

But soon, I realized that he had made up such a lie so that I could take him to see Lisa. I forced a smile, curled up the corner of my lips, and said, "Mr. Roger, do your research before lying next time. A few days ago, Mr. Cowell refused my proposal of marriage."

"Ah?" Roger was surprised.

At this time, someone went downstairs by elevator. After the elevator stopped on the first floor, the door opened.

A woman came out.

I stepped forward. As Roger intended to follow me, I stopped him outside the elevator door and said, "Mr. Roger, you should know Lisa well. You'll only infuriate her more if you visit her."

Hearing what I said, Roger, who originally planned to step into the elevator, stopped.

Standing at the door, he watched the door of the elevator close without taking another step forward.

When I got home, Lisa was doing yoga in the living room. I told her that I had seen Roger just now. She just rolled her eyes and said, "He just called me. I didn't answer."

In the daytime, Lisa would go to conduct the training.

I stayed at home. When I thought of Roger's words, I couldn't calm down at all. I looked through Simon's phone number in the phonebook and hesitated for a moment...

At least, I should make myself completely give up on Patrick!

I made up my mind, did deliberate makeup, and covered up the scars on my nose perfectly. Then I put on my mask as usual and went to the cinema which Simon's text had indicated.

To make it look like an accidental encounter, I purchased the latest cartoon movie ticket aired in another hall online in advance.

After I went into the cinema, I didn't go to have my ticket checked in a hurry. Instead, I waited on the side. Because it was daytime. There weren't many people in the cinema.

I waited there for a while. The movie which Patrick and Kelsi were going to see was about to start. Even so, I didn't see them coming either.

"Have I been deceived?"

When I was feeling a little suspicious, I heard someone beside me saying, "Look, that man is so handsome."

I looked in the direction that the one beside me pointed.

Sure enough, I saw Patrick.

Patrick was dressed in casual clothes today. By his side, Kelsi was in a crystal- blue sweater. And her white coat was hanging on Patrick's arm.

The two of them arrived side by side.

This scene seemed so dazzling to me.

"Miss Archer?"

When I looked at them, unexpectedly, Kelsi found me.

She said hello to me.

Patrick looked at me as well and moved slightly. He looked so terribly indifferent, as if he were a little angry.

For a moment, I was at a loss.
