Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 228

The next morning, I got up to pack up my things.

I chose a set of formal dresses which wouldn't get wrinkled easily. Besides a few sets of clothes for casual occasions and two sets of swimsuits, all other things were cosmetic products.

I hope I could be as beautiful as possible on that day.

After I packed up my things, I cooked a bowl of noodles by myself.

Originally, I wanted to add some chili to the noodle. However, as soon as I opened the lid...

"Ugh." I couldn't help but feel sick!

I rushed to the bathroom immediately.

But I didn't throw up anything.

I couldn't be more familiar with this kind of feeling!

I took out my cell phone to count the days, only to find that my period should have come last month. However, I was too busy finding a new job that I didn't pay any attention to it...

The fate indeed had played a trick on me.

As I was going to attend Patrick's wedding, I was pregnant.

It was the third child of Patrick and I.

I forced myself to finish the noodles.

When I was about to sit down to have a rest, Shelton came and asked, "Can we set off now?"

"Okay." I forced myself to cheer up.

Shelton drove the car out of the residential quarter. When we passed by a pharmacy store, I hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Can you stop the car? I'm going to buy some medicine."

Shelton stopped the car. And I went to the pharmacy store to buy a pregnancy test.

I secretly stuffed it into my bag.

After we arrived at the airport and checked in all the luggage, Shelton and I strolled between all kinds of tax-free stores.

At this time, goods of a limited edition for Valentine's Day could be seen everywhere. Women couldn't resist its temptation.

I looked around and thought of the deposit in my bank account. In the end, I only chose a kind of limited-edition eye shadow.

It was red.

I didn't have much knowledge about the eye shadows of this color.

I bought it sort of to challenge myself.

When I was paying the bill, Shelton handed his bank card to the salesgirl.

I quickly stopped him and said to the salesgirl, "Use my credit card instead."

As I said that, I wanted to take my wallet out of my purse in a panic. I took my wallet out anxiously. And the pregnancy test on the top of the bag also fell out.

Seeing the pregnancy test, Shelton was stunned for a moment. He pushed my wallet back and smiled gently, "How come you want to pay the bill when you are out with me? Do you want the salesgirl to look down on me?"

At this time, I stopped arguing with him and quickly bent down to put the pregnancy test back into my bag.

Unconsciously, I looked blushed in shame and embarrassment.

After we paid the bill, Shelton and I went to a first- class lounge. After a waiter served us two cups of tea, Shelton took a sip of the tea and asked, "The baby is Patrick's, right? How long have you been pregnant?"

"Two months." I held up the teacup and looked at Shelton imploringly, "Please! Never should you tell Patrick about this. This child belongs to me alone. And it has nothing to do with him."

Shelton looked at me. He was silent at first.

Later, he sighed and said, "Don't you think you are a little selfish by doing so?"

"Am I selfish?"

"Among the young patients in our hospital, some of them are raised by single mothers. Although women are omnipotent sometimes, it is unfair for children to live in a family where men are absent."

"Is that so?"

When I heard Shelton's words, I couldn't help feeling a little hesitant in my heart.

However, Patrick was about to get married. And I couldn't ask him to be responsible for this child.

It surely would hurt Kelsi as well if I did so.

Moreover, Patrick wouldn't be necessarily responsible for me. It was likely that he would only shoulder his responsibilities by giving me money.
