Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 359

Patrick was as overbearing as ever. And I pushed him hard.

However, the harder I pushed him, the tighter he held me.

And the more fervently he kissed me.

Although it was a cold winter night, Patrick's body was burning hot. Holding me in his arms, he seemed to intend to burn me up. However, for some reason, right at this moment, I couldn't be calmer.

I struggled and finally broke free from his arms in success. Covering my red lips which had been swollen because of the kissing with both hands, I hesitated for a moment and said, "Patrick Cowell, I'm sorry. Disregard the feelings I have for you, with my own sense of morality and my current identity, I won't allow anything to happen between you and me."

Sitting in a chair, Patrick looked at me and nodded, "Okay then. I won't force you. What you have to do now is to wait for the day when you come back to my side."

I looked at him, feeling extremely gloomy in my

heart.

Judging from Patrick's words, if I came back to his side, wouldn't Shelton have to go to jail?

As for how it felt to be in jail, I knew it better than anyone else in the world.

Although Shelton had done something bad, deep down, I didn't want him to go to jail.

I hesitated for a long time and asked Patrick, "Do you have to let him go to jail?"

"Yes."

Patrick nodded.

...I looked at Patrick, feeling disturbed in my heart. But I didn't know anything about what was going on in the business field. Neither did I know what on earth Shelton had done.

I wouldn't plead for Shelton. After all, everyone had to pay the price for what he had done.

Everything had its cause and effect.

Caroline was a perfect example.

Without saying anything, I turned around and went to Glenn's room.

In Glenn's room, I texted Shelton, telling him that Ned had asked us to stay overnight here.

I didn't get Shelton's reply.

The next morning, after Patrick left, Shelton came to Ned's house.

He looked at me and said nothing. Everything was still the same.

We ate lunch at Ned's house and went back.

On the way back, Shelton told me, "I've contacted two seniors of the Reid Family, making an appointment with them that we will visit them on the fourth day of New Year."

"Okay."

I nodded and glanced at Shelton secretly. Focusing on driving, he kept looking ahead as if he didn't pay attention to me at all.

What Ned and Patrick had said yesterday was all over my mind.

What on earth had Shelton done? How come he would goto jail?

Did he commit murder and arson? He surely wouldn't do so.

Then what on earth had he done? I was full of doubts.

Finally, Shelton saw me in the rearview mirror and turned to look at me with a faint smile on his face, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

I shook my head.

With Glenn's presence, I didn't know how to talk with Shelton about this.

In the next few days, I had been at home. Shelton went to work frequently. Sometimes, Glenn wanted to set off firecrackers. So I took him to set off some sparklers instead.

The closer the fourth day of New Year was approaching, the more uneasy I felt.

Based on what James had said before, logically speaking, my mother should be alive. However, where on earth was she?

It was obvious that the Reid Family had been ignoring her over the years. And my mother was mentally retarded.

In such a situation, what kind of life would my mother live? I dared not even make a further guess.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the New Year.
