Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 442

When I was about to go downstairs, the bodyguard caught up with me and said, "If you don't want do it, then just go. Master did this just to drive you away."

"I know, but I'm not going."

I said calmly.

The bodyguard had recognized me yesterday.

The bodyguard sighed behind me. "You are too stubborn."

"Well, I also think so."

I smiled and said,

Wearing the clothes of the servants in winter, I went to the garden with cotton gloves.

This was the first time I came here. Compared to looking at it from above, the entire garden seemed much larger when standing here.

Looking at the garden of hundreds of square meters, I knew it was no longer a matter of whether I could finish this job.

It was about how long can I hold on.

However, I didn't care.

I said I wouldn't leave, then I wouldn't.

I took a deep breath and squatted down to pluck the weeds.

The garden was covered with thick snow. When I got rid of the snow, I found that it must have been a long time since someone took care of it last time. It was full of weeds.

I squatted there and began to pluck the weeds one by one.

In winter, these weeds were very fragile. As soon as I pulled them out, they would break. Originally, I thought it would be fine.

But soon, a bodyguard came down and told me, "Mr. Cowell said that you need to pull out the straw as well."

Patrick had already planned it well upstairs.

I slowly pulled the straw out with my hand.

In the beginning, I thought I could have done it.

But as time went by, the cold air got into the gloves, and my hands quickly froze. My fingers were hard to bend, let alone pluck the weeds.

I squatted there, took off my gloves, and then put my hands inside my clothes to warm up. After a little warmer, I continued to pull the weeds out.

From the sun was shining to the sunset, I kept working this way.

In the evening, it became colder here.

The bodyguards had changed shifts several times.

One bodyguard seemed not to stand by anymore. He kindly said beside me, "Janetta, just tell the master that you can't do it, and then leave. He doesn't really want to make things difficult for you, he just wants you to leave."

"I'm not leaving."

I said calmly.

In fact, by this time I'd already been completely frozen.

But I didn't want to leave.

Now, I felt that Patrick and I were no longer competing who was able to stick to our own thoughts, but who could not hold themselves back and give up first.

Patrick did this just to push me away.

I knew why he pushed me away. I didn't believe that he could watch me suffer all the time.

Above all, I was betting on him to love me.

Although, apart from the time he got married to Kelsi, he never said he loved me anymore.

But I wanted to take a gamble.

The sun set, and soon, the sky was darkened.

I was plucking the weeds one by one. Every now and then, I would turn back and see whether the lights in Patrick's bedroom were still on.

I could clearly see that he was looking at me by the window.

And Tillie was standing next to him.

At present, not only my hands, but my whole body was frozen. I really wanted to take a warm bath, but I knew it was impossible.

"Well, you wanted to wait for me to give up?"

"Then I won't give up."

Time passed by.

Later on, the lights in Patrick's room were turned off, I guessed that he had fallen asleep.

The new bodyguard asked me if I wanted to rest, but I refused decisively. "No, he said he won't allow me to rest until I finish tidying up."

It was not that I didn't want to rest. I was just afraid that Patrick was here to test me.

From sunset to sunrise,
