Hearing Roger's words, I recalled something in the past all of a sudden!
There had been indeed a day like that!
Patrick came home very late. At that time, I called him honey and proposed that we should get married.
However, Patrick didn't agree back then.
As I recalled now, Patrick was indeed abnormal that night. Later on, he let out a faint groan after taking a bath.
He should have been in much pain back then. Could it be that he had been injured back then?
The more I recalled, the more I was concerned about him.
"At that time, the reason why Patrick sent me away was that he was afraid that I would be in danger, right?"
If that was the case...
However, I came to my senses quickly and looked at Roger suspiciously, "Why should I believe you? Why are you so kind as to tell me this?"
"Am I kind?" Hearing this, Roger touched his chin with his hand and said, "Well, in that case, I am indeed kind-hearted." "Why did you tell me these things?"
I wanted to figure out all the truth.
Hanging his head, Roger tilted his head and looked at me with a playful smile on his face, "Because I found that you are capable of making the Cowell Family in chaos. So, I wonder what will you do after you know these things."
Hearing this, I felt a chill running down my body.
Roger was right. Knowing these things, I would only feel more reluctant to part with Patrick.
Then I probably would do something extreme.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Roger shook his head, "Fortunately, you are not dead. Otherwise, I would not have seen such a good show where the Cowell Family has an internal conflict and ruined itself."
I looked at him, clenching my hands tightly. Calming myself down for a moment, I said with a sneer, "Mr. Roger, you really overestimated me. They are both high-ranking businessmen who can earn tens of millions of dollars easily. How can they be controlled by a woman like me? It is just that they are indulged to the kind of pleasure out of getting whatever they wanted."
"No, no, no." Roger shook his finger, saying, "Men will only become stronger and have more desire to compete with each other after they have weaknesses, which is the same as you women are tough after having a child."
"Weakness?"
For a moment, I felt that I probably was indeed Patrick's weakness.
But I wasn't Shelton's weakness.
"Are you done?" At this time, Shelton happened to finish his call. He naturally put his hand on my shoulder and said, "It's cold outside. I'm afraid that Janetta will get sick."
So many things had happened.
However, Shelton didn't change. He was as gentle and considerate as ever.
But I had changed my opinion of him in secret in my heart early.
"Yes, yes." Roger shivered and rubbed his hands, "Hearing you say so, I find that it's quite cold. I'm going home to find my baby. Bye, Mr. Shelton!"
After finishing his words, he went straight to close the door of the dancing hall and left.
For a moment, there was only Shelton and me left.
At this moment, I couldn't be more disappointed in my heart.
"Come on, let's go home," Shelton whispered in my ear.
I wanted to refuse. However, he pressed his arm against my shoulder. Although he didn't exert too much strength, I felt that I had been trapped.
I couldn't escape.
I could only follow him to get in the car.
Instead of going back to Unit No.1, City Y, Shelton drove to Glorious Days Bay.
The house which Shelton had shown to me previously was right in Glorious Days Bay. He planned to live here after we got married.
At this time, I no longer found the house as comfortable as it had been when he had entrusted his bank card to me here back then. On the contrary, I was resentful in my heart.
However, Shelton parked the car in the garage next to the villa and took me to the door of the house.
The lights in the room were on.
On the side, there were large French windows in the living room.
Looking inside, I saw that the curtains were right where they were and that the furniture had been in place.
