Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 28

Seth didn't know what had happened between Caroline and me. So he greeted her friendly.

Caroline took the opportunity to ask Patrick if she could share the table with us.

In fact, I didn't want to. But Seth agreed.

The four of us shared a table and moved to a private room instead of staying in the hall.

While ordering the dishes, Caroline said in a sweet voice, "I'm pregnant. I can't eat spicy food or seafood. Sorry for troubling you. Kindly don't order these food when you place an order."

After she said that, she looked at me again, "Charlotte, are you scrupulous about some food?"

She was implying something.

"No," I said decisively.

Moreover, when I saw how intimate Caroline and Patrick were, I was even more certain that I was not going to have a baby in City Y.

Caroline understood what my words meant.

She didn't want Patrick to know about my pregnancy more than I did.

It was Caroline and Seth who were mainly placing the order. The dishes Seth ordered were all my favorites.

Soon, a table of dishes was served.

Seth took the initiative to help me with the food. Every time he put the food into my bowl, I could feel Patrick's cold eyes.

"Thank you," I said hurriedly, 'TH do it by myself."

Caroline saw the scene and deliberately said, "Caroline, are you with Mr. Seth whom you worship?"

She looked like to be nosy. But I knew what her purpose was.

"My husband, Patrick Cowell, is sitting here. Do you want to cause a contradiction between the two of us by asking me such a question?" I continued, "Mr. Seth is now the general manager of our company. We were just out for a work meal."

In my opinion, it was not an exaggeration that this meal was a work meal.

Seth didn't say anything when he saw Patrick that day. But he understood something when he saw Patrick and Caroline today.

He took the initiative to help me out, "Yes, I just came to City Y. So I didn't bring many clothes with me. I didn't have any friends. So, I had to ask my junior sister to help me choose some clothes."

I looked at him gratefully.

"Oh," Caroline replied meaningfully and acted like a spoiled child to Patrick as she said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

Patrick just said, "It's okay." Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

But his face didn't look good.

After the meal, I was going to leave with Seth. But I didn't expect that Patrick would suddenly stop me, "Your husband is here. Are you going to go with another man?"

Both I and Caroline were stunned by his words.

She looked at Patrick and shouted coyly, "Patrick..."

Patrick ignored her and continued, "I'll ask the driver to send you back."

His tone was not a negotiation but an order.

I dared not refuse him.

In the end, I had no choice but to take Patrick's car alone and went back to the company.

By the time I arrived at the company, Seth had been waiting for me in the office.

As soon as he saw me, he said, "Your husband likes your sister, right?"

The situation just now told him all.

I gave a wry smile and did not answer, which was regarded as a tacit consent.

Seth suddenly approached me and looked at me with his bright eyes, "Marriage is a lifetime's affair. If you are not happy when you are with him, maybe... you can consider others."

"Others?"

I drew back my neck.

In the near distance, I saw that Seth's ears were a little red as he said, "There's no one else. It's me."

"Seth, I..."

As I didn't know how to refuse him, Seth immediately sat up straight and said in a light tone, "I just said so. Don't take my words to your heart. Anyway, you are always my junior sister."

He was always like this. And he would not put me under any pressure.

However... The situation changed faster than I expected.
