Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 350

On the way here, I had guessed that Melissa would ask me so.

After all, Patrick was her only son. He and Kelsi had been married for a few years. Even though they wanted to have a grandchild, there was no news of Kelsi's pregnancy at all.

Now Glenn suddenly appeared.

Moreover, he is healthy, sensible, and talkative as well as favored by everyone.

If Melissa didn't know Glenn, it would be fine. But now that she suddenly knew that Glenn probably was her own grandson, she surely would have him on her mind.

However, I had been wondering how to answer her properly.

I looked at Melissa. Without saying anything, Melissa was more nervous than me.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt, regarding this matter, I can't reveal its truth to you. At least, I can't be the one that tells you."

I assumed that after hearing my words, Melissa surely would understand.

After hearing what I said, Melissa, who wasn't stupid, looked gloomy, "Is it true that he is my grandson?"

I didn't say anything.

Melissa looked at me and said somewhat reluctantly, "I heard that when the head of the Archer Family asked my son to marry you, he was quite happy. Moreover, after you got married, he didn't treat you well. Why did you get along with each other after a few years' separations? How come my son actually divorced because of you?"

Melissa couldn't figure it out.

In fact, when it came to some things, they probably were predestined.

I took a sip of the coffee in front of me and asked Melissa, "Auntie, do you remember that Patrick was kidnapped and almost died in his childhood?"

"Of course."

Melissa admitted it.

She nodded and looked at me. "Could it be that..."

"Well, it was me who saved him back then. But we didn't have any contact. It wasn't until I returned to the Archer Family and he was going to marry Caroline that I had a formal interaction with him for the first time." I looked into the distance and recalled, "At that time, I wondered why Patrick liked Caroline as well. Later, I learned that out of nowhere, Caroline knew what had happened between Patrick and me and pretended to be me."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

I said without any doubt.

Melissa became much more gentle in an instant, "It turns out that the little girl back then is you."

"Do you know about this?"

Melissa said in a more friendly tone, "Of course, I know." She took a sip of the fruit tea in front of her and pursed her lips, "Hearing you say so, I immediately understand why my son is obsessed with you."

Melissa's expression indicated that she enjoyed a secret delight after knowing her son's little secrets.

I looked at her and suddenly wanted to know what happened to Patrick when he was a child.

Back then, I wasn't by Patrick's side. I wanted to know what Patrick looked like when he was young.

Or, I wanted to know Patrick recalled me when he was a child.

Melissa looked at me and said with a smile, "In fact, Patrick had been looking for you ever since he came back, only to fail. To find you, we specifically posted notice of looking for you in the surrounding residential quarter. We also specifically asked some people to ask the staff in various primary and middle schools around. We even asked the staff in the kindergartens. Unfortunately, we all failed. Nobody expected that you would be in an orphanage."

"Thinking normally and logically, nobody will think of going to find me in an orphanage."

"Or, in the normal people's opinion, they would consciously ignore the likelihood that I might be in an orphanage."

"Yes." Melissa said, "We had been looking for you for several months, only to fail to find you. Finally, we had to give up. For this, Patrick had been holding a grudge against us for a long time."

"Is that so..."

"Did Patrick become angry because of me?"

Knowing this, I felt warm-hearted all of a sudden.
