Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 300

Hearing my question, instead of looking surprised, Shelton asked me, "How did you know about this?"

I could tell that he had long known about this matter.

But he didn't tell me.

I could understand why he did so. After all, if I knew about this, it wouldn't be of any avail at all.

But his question made me realize that both Ned and Shelton suspected that Patrick had contacted me.

"Grandpa Cowell called me." I told him the truth.

Hearing this, he, who frowned slightly, looked somewhat relaxed and nodded, saying, "It seems that the last time I got in touch with him happened one week ago. Over the past week, no one saw him. Before that, Towering High had long been in a mess."

"It is because of the disappearance of Al, right?"

I asked Shelton.

Looking at me with melancholy in his eye, Shelton nodded and said, "That thing has a great impact on Towering High."

"Then who did it? Did you figure it out?"

I continued to ask.

Shelton stood at the door and looked at me gently before shaking his head, "I don't know either."

After calculating the days, I realized that I hadn't seen Patrick for a long time.

During this period, I originally thought I had gotten him out of my mind. However, hearing that he was missing now, I was in chaos in my heart.

I couldn't even be at ease in the slightest.

In spite of knowing that Shelton would be disappointed, I said, "I'm sorry. Feeling a little tired today, I want to go to bed early."

I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Patrick. And it would be unfair to Shelton if I face him with Patrick in my mind.

I had to be alone for a while.

Shelton, who always knew me so well, looked at me with an indifferent look in his eyes, raised his right index finger, and touched my cheek with it, smiling bitterly, "Are you worried about him?"

"I..."

"I know that you are very worried about him. You want to go out and see him at night, thinking that you may be able to find him, right?"

Shelton exposed all my thoughts.

For a moment, I was like a thief being caught on the scene. Hanging my head, I couldn't say a word.

I dared not look into Shelton's eyes either.

I was afraid that he would be disappointed or that I would see the anger all over his eyes.

However, after a moment, I felt that he reached out, took me into his arms, and said, "I know that you can't let him go completely now. Even so, I will wait for you.

"It is still snowing outside now. Remember to wear more clothes when you go out. Don't freeze yourself. If you can't find the way back, call me. And I'll go there to pick you up."

Hearing his words, I felt that my heart seemed to have been ferociously hit by something.

Shelton surely had been so humble as to tell me so.

For a moment, I felt extremely guilty in my heart and couldn't help but hug Shelton, saying, "I'm sorry, I...I...I won't go to find him."

"After all, on what grounds can I go and find Patrick?"

"There are so many people in the Kelsi family and the Cowell Family. And their connections are spread all over City Y. I am not even qualified to find Patrick, aren't I?"

"Really?" "I'm serious. I won't go."

Pressing my head against Shelton's chest, I nodded desperately.

I told myself over and over again in my heart, "Don't go find him! Don't! Don't!"

Shelton stroked my back all the way up to my hair with one hand, saying, "Okay. If you want to go find him, remember to wear thick clothes. If you can't get a car on the way back home, call me. I'll leave first."

After he said that, he withdrew his hand, turned around, and went back to his home.

I stood at the door, looking at the empty corridor in front of me.

There was nobody else but me.

In front of her eyes, it was dark outside the window of the corridor. And there was not even light.

There was a small gap in the window. After the cold air outside came in, it mixed with the heat in the building, transforming into the mist.

Snowflakes drifted in through the crevice as well.
