Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 298

"Oh."

Even though his words were full of loopholes, I didn't want to expose him.

Getting down to the bottom wouldn't do any good to me.

Seeing that I didn't ask anything further, he asked me, "Didn't you say that you were going to do focus on the design competition with a friend of yours recently? Why did you meet her?"

"We've signed up for the design competition. The competition topics will only come out two days later. So I took the time and asked Designer Shirley to meet me outside to discuss my wedding dress." I looked down and said, "After all, I won't marry somebody else in this life. Regarding the wedding dress, after thorough deliberation, I think I'd better be more discreet about it."

The reason why I said so was to please Shelton.

Hearing what I said, Shelton seemed to be in a better mood.

That afternoon, he took me to Michael's place and discussed with Michael the case related to Gina and Jeremy. After all, there would be a trial in a few months.

As for this matter, I was determined about it.

No matter what the trial result would be, I wouldn't bother with it.

There was one day to go before the topic of the design competition would be revealed.

Moving my laptop and all the drawing tools to Nancy's office, I planned to have a big go at the design competition.

After everything was done, I made a cup of coffee.

As soon as I took a sip of the coffee, Nancy asked, "Janetta, we only have 30 days to work on the design. And we are on a tight schedule. If we can't ascertain the plan at one go and guarantee the completion of the works, we have to work overtime. What about your son?"

Speaking of this, I was stunned.

During this time, I naturally work during the day and accompany Glenn in the evening.

Nancy's words made me realize that my plan wouldn't work.

Without what had happened recently, I would have entrusted Glenn to Shelton. But now, I wasn't at ease.

Although he couldn't go so far as to harm Glenn...

Nancy suggested, "Why don't you place your son in my house? I have a nanny in my house. It makes no difference to her whether it is a child or two children."

"How can I do that?"

I smiled.

The main thing was that if I avoided Shelton and entrusted Glenn to Nancy...

Shelton would be suspicious.

This question did make me go out of my wits.

That evening, Shelton and I went to pick up Glenn together and went home. After dinner, Glenn fell asleep. And Shelton went to be on duty in the hospital, leaving me alone at home.

When I was struggling as to what to do, my cell phone rang.

It was a call from Ryan.

I picked up the call and heard him asked me, "Did you get any progress about your mother's matter?"

Only then did I remember that after I left the rehabilitation center, I had been so busy that I let this matter pass out of my mind.

I didn't even ask Shelton about this.

I told Ryan the truth.

Upon hearing this, Ryan didn't blame me, saying,

"Forget it. I'll go to your place tomorrow. Help me reprint Jessica's portrait in a reduced format. I'll ask the ones in our circle and see if anyone knows about this."

"Are you coming to me tomorrow?"

Hearing that Ryan would visit me tomorrow, I felt that I could solve all the problems I was facing now with ease!

Ryan, who didn't know my worries, asked with some displeasure instead, "What's wrong? Don't you welcome me?"

"Highly welcome!" I couldn't be more excited.

I told him that I would work hard on a design competition in recent days and that I wouldn't have time to take care of Glenn.
