Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 341

The engagement banquet was held in a restaurant of the Cowell Family.

After we arrived there, I saw that a lot of luxury cars parked at the entrance.

Shelton was an unexpected rising force to the people in the Cowell Family and City Y.

Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry was an indispensable industry. As human beings' life span was getting longer and longer, naturally, we relied more and more on medicine.

Admittedly, the ones mastering high- end pharmaceutical technology had mastered the way to make money.

From a long-term perspective, the pharmaceutical industry surely wouldn't be less promising than the industries like the Internet industry and the smartphone industry.

Nobody was stupid. So a lot of people should have attended Shelton's engagement party here.

Sure enough, after I followed Shelton in, I found that there were a lot of guests in the vast engagement hall.

As we walked inside, every guest said in our ears,

"congratulations! Congratulations!"

But I could notice that almost everyone stared at Glenn without exception.

Even though we walked past them, they kept looking in Glenn's direction.

I could even hear someone whispering among the attendees.

"Who is this child?"

"Could it be that this designer got divorced?"

"Could it be that Mr. Shelton was a stepfather?"

Although they spoke in a low voice, I heard what they said clearly.

I pulled Glenn's hand and clenched it a little tighter.

Shelton surely had heard their words as well. He suddenly paused, half-knelt, and hugged Glenn in his arms. In a low voice that could be only audible among us, he said, "Glenn, in the following a few hours, can you call me dad?"

Glenn surely had heard these words as well.

Children were inherently sensitive.

After hearing Shelton's words, he turned to look at me with a questioning look in his eyes.

On such an occasion today, if Glenn still called Shelton Mr. Ned, setting aside the fact that Shelton would be embarrassed, explaining it to others alone would take a long time. In that case, how about...

I nodded at him and said, "Call him dad."

Glenn, who had been with me since his childhood, trusted me the most. Hearing this, he hugged Shelton's neck with his arms and said in a childish voice, "Dad!"

Hearing his words, Shelton revealed a bright smile.

On usual days, he smiled gently.

However, as he smiled at Glenn today, he looked amiable and somewhat protective of him.

Looking at Shelton at this moment, I suddenly felt that it seemed that Shelton sincerely wanted to be Glenn's good father.

Glenn was like Shelton. As he called Shelton's dad, he seemed to be extremely excited in his heart.

He hugged Shelton's neck and rested his little head on Shelton's shoulder with a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed to be the first time that Glenn had called Shelton dad.

As we were about to head inside, we heard another burst of commotion from behind us.

Turning my head, I saw that Ned stood at the door and that all the guests clustered around him.

A tall and straight man stood behind Ned. No matter how many guests were by Ned's side, the man's aura wasn't overshadowed in the slightest.

It was Patrick.

As soon as I saw him, I felt sharp pain in my heart.

Unexpectedly, my eyes were a little bit sore.

I wasn't the kind of person who liked crying. However, when I saw Patrick, I felt sad from the bottom of my heart.

When I looked at Patrick, he looked at me as well. And he kept staring at me unscrupulously as if he didn't intend to look away from me for even a second.

Being stared at by him, I suddenly became flustered in my heart.

Then, I quickly looked away from him.

Then I looked at him out of the corner of my eyes, only to find that he was still looking at me.

I dared not look at him again and could only lower my head.
