Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 71

Shelton and I had just met each other for a few times. However rich he was, I surely couldn't take fifty million dollars from him for free!

And I didn't know who he really was.

If I got the money from him, it was unknown what would happen next.

However, Shelton didn't intend to take the check back. Moreover, he seemed to have seen through my mind as he said, "I don't have any ultimate motive for you. And I won't let you do anything for me because of this matter. In my eyes, this money is petty. As your neighbor, I am just giving you a hand."

Shelton added, "There's no interest. You can pay it back to me slowly."

Shelton added.

In fact, accepting Shelton's money would be the best solution.

After all, there was a deadline to repay a mortgage loan from the bank. If Seth couldn't repay, my house would be taken away. And Rosy surely would blame me at that time.

However, I believed that if Seth got the money, he surely could make a comeback.

I, who had been hesitant, made up my mind that I would accept Shelton's money...

At that time, "Di."

A sound came from the elevator behind us.

I turned around and saw Patrick, who had changed into a suit, walking out of the elevator.

As soon as I saw him, I quickly withdrew my hand, feeling like being caught on the scene for doing something bad!

Patrick raised his head. It was obvious that he had seen me withdrawing my hand.

At the same time, he also saw the check that Shelton was holding in the air.

Patrick glanced at Shelton. And his face immediately became gloomy. He walked to my side and stopped me, saying, "Uncle, why are you with my wife?"

I could tell the displeasure in his tone.

Shelton curled up his lips and said, "Nothing. I hear that Charlotte has some financial difficulties. So I intend to help her."

"Help her? I will help her if she needs money." Patrick lowered his head and glanced at the number on the check, "Uncle, this money isn't a small amount for your small- sized company, right? You'd better take it back in case your company will be closed down."

Although I didn't speak, I could sense the hostility in the air.

I wanted to leave. But Patrick restrained me so tightly with his hands that I couldn't move at all.

However, I found Patrick's words harsh.

He was insulting Shelton by saying so.

I looked at Shelton. Through the thin glass mirror, I saw that there was a faint smile in his sharp eyes.

Shelton didn't seem to be provoked by his words at all. He smiled and said, "I'm just trying to help her. Now that you've seen it, I, an outsider, won't be involved in your matter."

After that, he put away the check and turned back to his room.

With a gloomy look on his face, Patrick pulled me back home without letting go of my hand.

He walked me all the way to the sofa. Then he sat down by himself and pressed me on his lap. Restraining me in his arms, he looked at me with his black eyes, "How do you know him? Why didn't you tell me earlier that he lives next to you?" "I didn't know him at first. It is because he lives next door that I met him.'

Patrick ruthlessly exposed me, "Nonsense. You haven't seen him before! He didn't come to our wedding ceremony!"

So I had to tell him the truth.

Moreover, I and Shelton didn't do anything fishy.

Patrick's face became somewhat gentle after he heard me out. But he warned me, "Stay away from him."

"Why? Isn't he your uncle?"

I was confused.

But Patrick didn't answer me. Instead, he continued to imprison me, lowered his head, and asked me, "Do you need money?"

At this moment, he had eased his tone a lot.
