Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 42

I was stunned.

At this time, my cell phone rang.

I lowered my head and looked at the caller ID, which was Seth Hyde.

I glimpsed at the time and found that it was noon now. Usually, if Seth was in the company, he would ask me to have lunch at this time.

I looked up at Patrick. Thinking of the orphanage just now, I didn't know how to answer Seth's call for a moment. So I muted it.

Patrick did not say anything else.

Only after Seth stopped calling me did I ask, "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing. It is just that Grandpa misses you," Patrick said flatly.

I didn't believe his words at all. I argued, "How could it be? Didn't you tell him that I killed Caroline's child and you wanted to divorce me?"

Patrick loved Caroline so much. And he was certain that she was framed by me.

He surely would have taken advantage of such a good opportunity.

I wasn't convinced by his words.

However, Patrick tilted his head and looked at me with a profound look in his eyes, "What Grandpa knows is that you went abroad for further study and just came back the day before yesterday. So he would like to welcome you back tonight."

His words stunned me for half a minute.

What did he mean?

In other words, Ned didn't know that I had gone to jail at all, right?

"Why?" I stared at Patrick in a daze, wondering what he was up to!

I felt more and more strongly that I couldn't understand him!

Patrick raised his hand and put his big palm on my hand, "I am a businessman. Keeping my words means the most to me. Since I promised you that I would let you be Mrs. Cowell, of course, I won't break my promise."

It was midsummer. But the moment he touched me with his hand, I felt cold and bone-chilling!
