Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 93

Originally, I thought I would have to spend that night alone.

Although I was somewhat lonely, the things in the suitcase that Seth had prepared for me moved me a lot.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Seth came again.

Before I could ask him why he was here, he reached out to hold my hand and said gently, "How can I let you stay at home on New Year's Eve?"

As he said this, he pulled me and walked out.

I was scared out of my wits as I said, "Are you going to take me to see your parents?"

"No, no. I just said that I would take a friend home to have dinner together." As Seth said, he forced me out.

I was almost dragged into the car by him.

After we got in the car, I wanted to leave. But he didn't agree and started the car by force.

I was a little unhappy. After we arrived at the downstairs of his family's house, I insisted on leaving.

However, Seth looked at me with a pitiful expression, "I have told my parents that you will be here. And they have prepared a tableful of food. Can you take it as helping us finish the food?"

As he spoke, he looked at me with his hand on his chin.

His staring made me a little embarrassed. So I had no choice but to agree.

Even so, I understood what Seth intended to do by taking me to his house and introducing me to his parents on New Year's Eve.

I knew how Seth had been good to me in the past few years.

Just like what I had thought before, if I couldn't repay him with my feelings, then I would repay him with my whole life.

I followed Seth and went upstairs.

As soon as the door opened, I saw an old couple in their fifties standing at the door. When they saw me, they smiled happily, "You have been worn out all the way here. Come in quickly."

As they spoke, they let me into the room.

I was a little embarrassed. As I walked inside, I said, "Uncle, Aunt, Happy New Year. I'm really sorry to disturb you on New Year's eve." "Not at all. Not at all." The two seniors both waved their hands.

As soon as I went in, I saw a medium-sized table where there were a lot of presumptuous dishes, including fish and meat. Since the table couldn't accommodate so many dishes, the dishes were piled up.

Seth asked me to sit down. I hesitated for a moment and glimpsed at the kitchen. Sensing that it seemed that I indeed didn't have to help them with anything, I said, "Uncle, Aunt, you two sit down first."

Hearing what I said, Seth's parents smiled with satisfaction and quickly sat down.

After we all sat down, Seth's mother said, "They are all common dishes. I wonder if they fit your taste."

Then she picked up a piece of fish and put it in my bowl.

"Thank you."

Besides thanking her, I really didn't know what else to say.

The dishes made by Seth's mother were very delicious.

For the whole night, they had been paying attention to me and kept picking up food for me. I couldn't eat anything more. Even so, Seth's parents kept asking me to eat.

In the end, seeing that I was indeed full, Seth said, "I'll finish them."

As he spoke, he took out some food from my bowl.

"I've eaten them." I saw Seth take out a piece of meat.

"It's okay."

Seth didn't mind.

After the meal, the channels on the TV started to cover the New Year Gala. I wanted to help them do the dishes. But Seth's parents refused, asking me to sit down and rest persistently.

Seth's parents quickly cleaned up the table. Then they brought a plate of oranges and apples.

Seth picked up an apple and asked me, "Would you like to eat it? I'll peel it for you."

"No..."

"Don't ask her. Peel it quickly."

When I was about to refuse, Seth's father handed him a fruit knife.

In fact, I was quite full.

Seth began to peel the apple as he said, "Just eat one piece. You don't have to finish it all."
