Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 222

When Kelsi asked me so, she looked at me with a sense of sadness.

I was stunned for a moment, asking, "Do I hate you?"

"Yes." Kelsi's face was full of apologies as she said, "I know what happened between you and Patrick. You two used to be together. Then you separated. Besides, my family arranged for me to marry him."

"What...What does it have anything to do with you?"

I lowered my head and took a sip of the coffee in front of me. After thinking about it for a moment, I asked her, "How did Patrick tell you about the relationship between him and me?"

"The relationship between you guys?"

"Yes."

I nodded and looked at Kelsi seriously.

She nodded slightly, "He said it was his grandfather who had asked him to be with you and your sister." When she said this, she seemed to notice my upset expression and immediately explained, "But you are different

from your sister. You are a good and kind person. So he has always been reluctant to hurt you..."

"Did he say so?"

When I heard Kelsi's words, I even found it a little ridiculous!

It was clear that I had been trying to escape from Patrick's side over and over again. But Patrick had located me from time to time and kept me by his side.

Then he hurt me repeatedly.

"Miss Archer, please don't misunderstand Patrick. Patrick is a good person. He is indeed reluctant to hurt you. Regarding your disfigured face, he blames himself quite much for it. So he has never dared to bear to tell you about what happened between the two of you."

Kelsi looked at me with a sincere look in her eyes.

To make myself more disappointed about Patrick, I asked Kelsi, "Miss Kelsi, are you going to marry him?"

"Yes..." Kelsi took the bag on the side over, took out a pink and delicate card of it, and handed it over to me. "In fact, when Patrick knew that I would come to see you today, he asked me to find a chance to give you this card."

When I looked down, I found that it was a wedding invitation card.

The photos of Patrick and Kelsi were clearly attached to it.

"Ah..." At that moment, I felt that a hand seemed to be pinching my heart tightly.

To prevent me from crying, I bit my lips hard and pinched my palms with my nails.

"Don't cry."

"I can't cry!

"I surely can't cry!!

I kept telling myself.

After trying to control my emotions in success, I managed to say, "Congratulations!"

"Miss Archer, I know that you are sad. I'm sorry." Kelsi took out a piece of paper and handed it to me, "I have known Patrick for so many years. In fact, we are more like family members. But our family members asked us to unite through marriage. We can't go against them."

"Well, I know, it doesn't matter."

"I'm sorry."

Kelsi looked at me apologetically.

I clutched the invitation card tightly in my hands. But I didn't even have the courage to open it. I couldn't help but ask, "Miss Kelsi, disregard what your relationship with Patrick is, don't you mind if I exist?"

"Me?" Kelsi paused for a moment and smiled. "It's a lie if I say that I don't mind. After all, I surely will mind that my husband has another woman in his heart."

"Don't worry, he doesn't have me in his heart."

I said sourly.

"How could it be? You've been together for so long. You are surely in his mind." Kelsi lowered her eyes and took a sip of coffee in front of her, "He said he didn't want to hurt you. In fact, I understand that he just can't let you go."

"In this way, it's unfair to both of us. In comparison, it's even more unfair to you."

I suddenly felt that Kelsi was more pitiful than me.

"After all, I may never have anything to do with Patrick in the future. I can keep him in my heart."

"But Kelsi has to be with him forever."

"If I were in her position, I couldn't take it either."

Hearing my words, Kelsi smiled, "There is nothing I can do. As the daughter of the Kelsi family, this is my mission. I can't enjoy my fancy life for free."

As she spoke, her cell phone rang.

She picked up the call and said, "I was drinking coffee with Charlotte Archer. Hmm, I gave it to her. And she also accepted it, saying that she would congratulate us."

"Is it a call from Patrick?"
