Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 298

"Oh."

Even though his words were full of loopholes, I didn't want to expose him.

Getting down to the bottom wouldn't do any good to me.

Seeing that I didn't ask anything further, he asked me, "Didn't you say that you were going to do focus on the design competition with a friend of yours recently? Why did you meet her?"

"We've signed up for the design competition. The competition topics will only come out two days later. So I took the time and asked Designer Shirley to meet me outside to discuss my wedding dress." I looked down and said, "After all, I won't marry somebody else in this life. Regarding the wedding dress, after thorough deliberation, I think I'd better be more discreet about it."

The reason why I said so was to please Shelton.

Hearing what I said, Shelton seemed to be in a better mood.

That afternoon, he took me to Michael's place and discussed with Michael the case related to Gina and Jeremy. After all, there would be a trial in a few months.

As for this matter, I was determined about it.

No matter what the trial result would be, I wouldn't bother with it.

There was one day to go before the topic of the design competition would be revealed.

Moving my laptop and all the drawing tools to Nancy's office, I planned to have a big go at the design competition.

After everything was done, I made a cup of coffee.

As soon as I took a sip of the coffee, Nancy asked, "Janetta, we only have 30 days to work on the design. And we are on a tight schedule. If we can't ascertain the plan at one go and guarantee the completion of the works, we have to work overtime. What about your son?" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Speaking of this, I was stunned.

During this time, I naturally work during the day and accompany Glenn in the evening.

Nancy's words made me realize that my plan wouldn't work.

Without what had happened recently, I would have entrusted Glenn to Shelton. But now, I wasn't at ease.

Although he couldn't go so far as to harm Glenn...

Nancy suggested, "Why don't you place your son in my house? I have a nanny in my house. It makes no difference to her whether it is a child or two children."

"How can I do that?"

I smiled.

The main thing was that if I avoided Shelton and entrusted Glenn to Nancy...

Shelton would be suspicious.

This question did make me go out of my wits.

That evening, Shelton and I went to pick up Glenn together and went home. After dinner, Glenn fell asleep. And Shelton went to be on duty in the hospital, leaving me alone at home.

When I was struggling as to what to do, my cell phone rang.

It was a call from Ryan.

I picked up the call and heard him asked me, "Did you get any progress about your mother's matter?"

Only then did I remember that after I left the rehabilitation center, I had been so busy that I let this matter pass out of my mind.

I didn't even ask Shelton about this.

I told Ryan the truth.

Upon hearing this, Ryan didn't blame me, saying,

"Forget it. I'll go to your place tomorrow. Help me reprint Jessica's portrait in a reduced format. I'll ask the ones in our circle and see if anyone knows about this."

"Are you coming to me tomorrow?"

Hearing that Ryan would visit me tomorrow, I felt that I could solve all the problems I was facing now with ease!

Ryan, who didn't know my worries, asked with some displeasure instead, "What's wrong? Don't you welcome me?"

"Highly welcome!" I couldn't be more excited.

I told him that I would work hard on a design competition in recent days and that I wouldn't have time to take care of Glenn.

Hearing this, Ryan asked, "Why don't you give him to Shelton? It's not convenient for me to bring Glenn with me when I go out."

"Well, as for Shelton..." When it came to Shelton, I hesitated for a moment before asking Ryan, "Master, the way you see it, what kind of person Shelton is?"

"Hm? Did you guys get into a fight?"

"No." I shook my head. "Some things happened recently. The more I think about it, the more I feel that Shelton is..."

At this point, I didn't know how to go on.

Ryan sighed over the phone and said, "I know what you want to say. I just want to say that if someone starts from scratch and makes a great fortune, besides having a keen sense and a strong mind, he surely has other tricks."

"You mean that..."

"You don't have to bother too much with the things going on in the business field. He might be forced to do something because of the situation back then. As long as he treats you well, it's fine." Ryan understood my concerns and added, "Okay, I'll help you take care of Glenn start tomorrow onwards. But if you don't get a prize in this competition, don't call me master in the future!"

"Yes! I'll definitely get an award!"

I had been by Ryan's side over the past few years.

I might not be confident about anything else.

When it came to winning this kind of competition, I was somewhat confident about it.

That night, I scanned an e-version of Jessica's portrait using the scanner at home. After reprinting it in a reduced format, I sent it to Ryan.

The next day, I picked Ryan up first and handed him the key to my home. Then I told him the address of the kindergarten where Glenn was.

Only after that did I go to Nancy's studio.

I arrived at Nancy's studio and found that the topic of the design competition had been released.

The topic this time was simple, which read, "The rich and powerful families."

The topic perfectly fit the design competition's theme, that was, a high-end indoor design competition.

With such a topic, both Nancy and I could have a free hand.

Originally, I thought that Nancy would choose the Chinese style design. However, she chose the modern style one instead.

In the next thirty days, Nancy and I were almost in the office 24 hours per day. Sometimes, when we were inspired, we might as well stay in the office.

Days went on like this. When there was one day to go before the deadline of submitting our works, we both submitted our works.

After that, we went home respectively, especially me. I slept at home for ten hours before I woke up.

By the time I opened my eyes again, it had been over 10 a.m.

It was the weekend. When I woke up, Glenn was at home. Seeing that I walked out of the bedroom without getting changed, he said with shining eyes, "Mom, don't you have to go to work today?"

"Yes." I nodded. Staring at Glenn, I was stunned for a moment.

I felt that a few weeks had passed since I had seen him.

Glenn hugged my leg and said, "Mom, how about you accompany me to the Dinosaur Museum?"

"Okay! Then wait for me to get changed first." Without hesitation, I promised Glenn.

After all, I, who hadn't been by his side this month, felt guilty in my heart.

Ryan was playing electronic games in the living room. Hearing that we were going to the Dinosaur Museum, he said, "If you're free, accompany Glenn. I won't go with you. I want to pass this round at home."

Seeing that Ryan was serious, I couldn't help but frown.

Unlike other seniors who strolled around in the park or played Taichi, unexpectedly, Ryan preferred to play console games at home.

I shook my head helplessly and could only ask him, "Then what would you like to have for lunch? Should I have to order takeaway for you?"

"No need. I can order takeout by myself." Ryan looked at me and said with a look indicating that he was unwilling to admit that he was old, "I'm not an old-fashioned. I know how to order takeaway using my cell phone."

"Yes, yes. You're the chicest one."

I went in and changed my clothes.

I came out and found that besides Ryan and Glenn, there was someone else in the room.

And it was Shelton.

Glenn pulled Shelton's hand and said, "Mom, Uncle Shelton said he would drive us there."
