Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 321

I shook my head.

I didn't say anything.

After we finished breakfast, Shelton drove me to a jewelry store to choose a set of engagement rings.

When we entered the jewelry store, the manager and several shop assistants of the store had already been waiting at the door. When we came close, they greeted together, "Mr. and Mrs. Cowell, welcome."

Shelton was very pleased with being addressed like this.

An engagement ring was different from a wedding ring. It should be suitable for daily use.

Shelton asked a clerk to bring him a few rings. We picked one set together.

After buying the engagement rings, Shelton had a meal with me and then selected two sets of clothes for engagement.

Then we came home together.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we got home.

After going back, I sat on the sofa alone and talked with Nancy about the design tomorrow. Suddenly, Shelton came over and sat next to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and held me in his arms.

I couldn't help but feel nervous. Holding my phone, I froze with only half of the message typed.

The man looked at me, leaned over, and kissed my forehead. "Well get engaged in a week and then you will be my wife."

"Yes." The knuckles of my hand, which was holding my phone, turned slightly pale.

Even though all of today's events were about this matter.

When Shelton said it in person again, I felt so uncomfortable.

After a week, nothing could change.

Shelton looked at me, and his thumb gently fell between my eyebrows. "Don't frown. Don't worry, I'll be with you. Things like last time will never happen again. It was my fault. I won't do it again."

"It didn't matter. I..."

"It did matter. We were going to marry soon. It was my fault that I did such a thing." Shelton hugged me, and his chin rested on my shoulder. He murmured, "It won't happen again. I hope you can care more about me. Don't let my feelings go unanswered. I'm really in pain."

Shelton's grip grew tighter and tighter bit by bit.

It was as if he wanted to rub me into his body.

However, my hands were hanging there. Somehow, I couldn't muster the courage to hug him back.

Shelton held me in his arms and said over and over again, "Janetta, I love you. I will love you for a lifetime. It is okay you don't love me now, as long as you don't love him more."

Who was "him"?

I knew it very well.

Finally, I hugged him back and nodded gently. "Okay, I promise you."

I knew that I couldn't continue to love Patrick.

Because in this life, I was doomed not to be with him.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye. "Timetravel", the project advanced by the cooperation of Nancy and I had been completed. We sent it to Mr. Reid, who repeatedly applauded for it.

And he immediately gave us bonuses.

That night, Nancy took the bonus and wanted to invite me to dinner, but I refused.

Tomorrow would be the day of my engagement with Shelton. Tonight, I would have dinner with the Cowell Family.

This time, it was not in Shelton's home but in the Eastern Wind Restaurant.

I went home to take a bath, changed into a decent set of clothes, put on light makeup, and followed Shelton to the Eastern Wind Restaurant.

When we entered the box, many people were already sitting there.

I looked over and found that all the members in Cowell Family seemed to be here.

Sheridan, Dulcie, Patrick, and Ned.
