Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 397

I walked into the room and opened the shoe cabinet, in which there were two pairs of cotton slippers, a pair of blue and a pair of pink.

There were also two pairs of ordinary plastic slippers too.

"Why didn't I remember this when I lived here ?"

I took out the pair of pink cotton slippers.

A slip of paper dropped out and it said, "Remember to wear cotton slippers in winter. Make sure to keep yourself warm. Don't catch a cold."

There was no date written on it.

I put on my slippers and walked inside. When I opened the wardrobe, the clothes inside were all new, including pajamas of four seasons.

Bathrobes were included, too.

There were brand new cosmetics on the table.

My brain was full of doubts, I went to the kitchen again.

There was a pink note on the refrigerator that said: There are puddings in the refrigerator.

I opened the fridge and saw that there were indeed two boxes of puddings inside.

I glanced at the date.

It was yesterday.

Seeing this, my heart suddenly sank.

What does this mean? Is Shelton still coming home all the time?

If I could see Shelton, could he let me off?

But soon I woke up again.

Thinking of Michael's attitude, Shelton just touched himself again by offering these things.

He just wanted me to beg him.

I shook my head and took out a big box. I put all the new things, including cosmetics and clothes, in the box.

One box is not enough, then I used two!

Finally, I packed all the things Shelton gave me in two big boxes. I found a piece of paper and wanted to write a note to tell Shelton that I had sold the house, but I threw the paper away after hesitating.

I called the property management, directly ask them to have the lock changed.

After that, I left the two boxes of things at Shelton's door.

I didn't want to use his things, and I didn't want to leave them for Tracy, either.

After this cleaning, I took a small bag of things I packed and went to the property management, put the key there, and left.

It was already evening, the time to get off work.

I stood at the entrance of the community and wanted to take a taxi to Rosy's home.

Holding the bag, I had been waiting for a long time, none of the taxis was empty.

On the taxi- hailing apps, there were dozens of people lining up in front.

At this time, I realized for the first time that maybe I should learn how to drive.

I didn't think that driving was a must-have skill before.

When I was still standing at the door and waiting to take a taxi, I saw a familiar car parked in front of me.

My whole breath slowed down when I recognized this car.

It was Shelton's car.

I saw that the back door was slowly opened and Shelton was sitting in the back seat. His smile was still as gentle as before. He asked me, "Where are you going? Let me give you a ride."

"There is no need!"

I immediately refused and turned away nervously.

At this time, I heard the sound of the door closing behind me. I dared not look back. Holding the small bag in my hand, I walked forward.

But soon, I heard the sound of his footsteps coming after me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Shelton walked to my side. He said in a gentle voice, "You can't get a taxi now."

The meaning of this sentence was like, 'You can't escape.'
