Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 230

"Why?" I was a little confused.

Shelton looked at me and smiled more brightly, "Because I think I know more about what pregnant women should pay attention to, especially the diet. I think I know more than you do."

As I heard his words, I couldn't help but feel that my face was a little hot.

Indeed, I had been pregnant several times. But I knew little about what a pregnant woman should pay attention to.

We walked around the beach.

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that we arrived at the place where the barbecue party would be held.

If it weren't for Amy, I probably wouldn't have come here today.

However, because of this beautiful face, I was full of confidence.

By the time Shelton and I appeared at the barbecue venue, a lot of people had been sitting on the scattered chairs.

There were waiters who barbecued on the side. We just needed to get the food and drink

with a plate.

It was Shelton who got the food for me the first time. He specially reminded me not to eat seafood. And he just got a cup of orange juice for me.

A band was playing music on the side.

Everything was so quiet and beautiful. If it wasn't Patrick's wedding, I probably could enjoy all these in peace.

I drank up the orange juice and looked at others around me who were all drinking champagne happily.

Feeling itchy in my heart for a moment, I held an orange juice cup and walked to the food table.

As soon as I laid my hands on the champagne glass, Shelton grabbed my wrist and said, "You who are pregnant can't drink as any wine."

"But it is champagne..."

"You can't drink champagne with lower alcohol content either." After Shelton said that, he handed me a glass of mango juice in his hands, "I saw you kept looking at the cocktail on the table. I knew that you were going to fetch it."

Looking at the champagne that was right in front of me, I felt a little reluctant.

Shelton gently scratched my nose, "Good girl, there are seven or eight months to go. After the baby is born, I'll go to the bar with you. You can order whatever you want there."

His tone sounded like he was coaxing a child.

I looked up at Shelton.

The dim yellow light shone on his face. There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Behind the lens, his somewhat sharp eyes looked quite gentle.

I looked at him blankly.

However, he looked a little embarrassed and reached out to touch his face, "What's wrong? Is there anything on my face?"

"No." I smiled, "I just think that you are actually quite handsome, Mr. Shelton."

Shelton laughed when he heard me say that, "You're kidding!"

"No, you are a handsome and mature man!"

For no reason, in front of Shelton, I did feel that I was still young.

Holding a cup of mango juice in my hands, I walked to my seat in a relaxed mood.

Before the band could finish playing the current music, all of a sudden, it played another piece of music named A Wedding in Dreams.

At the same time, the surrounding guests all stood up and looked in one direction.

I looked over...

Patrick and Kelsi appeared at the entrance of the barbeque avenue. It was rare for Patrick to wear fancy clothes. By his side, Kelsi was wearing a colorful Bohemia long dress.

Judging from their outfits, they were a couple.

Patrick had never worn such clothes before. But now he was willing to wear such clothes for the sake of Kelsi...

I couldn't think further.

The more I thought about it, the more pain I would feel in my heart.

I saw that Patrick was walking in our direction as if he was coming to get food. I was so scared that I wanted to avoid him. But I didn't notice the floor lamp beside my feet.

I fell forward.

"Be careful." Shelton's voice sounded in my ear. At the same time, he flashed to the front of me and held me.

I didn't fall. But I, who had a cup of mango juice in my hands, splashed much of the juice on Shelton's clothes.

"I'm sorry." I was so scared that I quickly put the cup aside. Then I reached for a tissue on the counter from the side and wiped juice for him.

However, once the clothes were stained with mango juice of yellow color, they could never be cleaned up.

The more I wiped the juice off his clothes, the faster his clothes became yellow.

As I was removing the juice off Shelton's clothes, I felt a chill running down on my back...

I turned my head and saw that Patrick was looking in our direction. Although there wasn't any expression on his face, there seemed to be strong emotions brewing in his deep eyes!

At this time, Shelton who was standing next to me suddenly grabbed my hand and said with a smile, "Stop it. I'll go back to change my clothes. Will you go back to the room with me?"

"Ah?" I looked at Shelton. And I wanted to withdraw my hands first, fearing that Patrick would misunderstand us.

In just one second, I felt that I was ridiculous.

Patrick was going to marry another woman. How could he be in a mood to be jealous because of me?

I stopped withdrawing my hands. As Shelton held my hands, I smiled slightly and said, "Well, I will go back with you and accompany you to get changed."

After that, the two of us bypassed the direction of Patrick and wanted to leave.

However, there was only one exit.

When we were about to reach the exist and leave...

"Uncle Shelton."

Patrick's voice rang behind us.

When I heard his voice, for no reason, my body went so weak that I was stunned where I was. And I couldn't move at all.

Shelton, who was next to me, spoke first, "Patrick, wish you a happy wedding."

"Thank you, uncle."

It probably was because they were at a wedding that Patrick didn't want to break up completely with Shelton.

But his tone sounded a little cold.

Without looking up, I could feel that Patrick should be staring at me only.

At this moment, I didn't even have the courage to look up. I was afraid that after I saw him, I would fail myself and burst out crying.

I heard Patrick say, "It seems that I don't see anything wrong. Uncle Shelton, you indeed care about my ex-wife quite much."

When he said that I was his ex- wife, he deliberately emphasized it.

As I heard his words, I felt that my heart seemed to have been severely hit.

Yes, I had once married him.

It was clear that not a long time had passed. But I felt that such a long time had passed that I seemed to have married him in the last century.

I felt that Shelton placed his arm on my shoulder. And he said in a gentle tone, "Patrick, since you are married, you have to be responsible for Miss Kelsi. Don't think about the past. As for Charlotte, I will take care of her for you."

"Charlotte."

As soon as Shelton called me Charlotte, I saw Patrick clenched a hand that he had placed in his pocket into a fist.

He was quite angry.

"It makes sense. Patrick has such a strong possessive desire. How can he possibly allow me to be with someone else?"

In order not to get Shelton into trouble, I originally intended to push his hand away.

Before I could move, I heard Patrick say, "Well, take good care of her. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you accountable!"

After that, he turned around and left.

Only after seeing Patrick leave did I dare to raise my head.

Looking at his back, I couldn't help but shed tears.

At this time, Shelton didn't take off his arm. Instead, he gently patted me on the back, "I know that you are in a bad mood and that you want to cry at your free will in your room. But you can't cry here. Otherwise, you won't look good." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Okay."

I buried my head deeply in Shelton's chest and nodded desperately.

Patrick was going to get married. But the bride wasn't him. At the thought of this, my heart ached.

I felt so painful.
