Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 27

"Abort it," Patrick answered without hesitation. In the end, he added in a cold tone, "You took the medicine last time. Never should you intend to have an illegitimate child to entertain my grandpa."

I curled up the corner of my lips and said with a sad smile, "The contraceptive pills won't be always 100% successful."

My question seemed to make Patrick nervous. He looked at my belly and asked, "Are you pregnant?"

"Take a guess." I looked at him with a calm face as I didn't reveal the answer to him.

Patrick looked at me and did not answer. But there wasn't any joy on his face.

Maybe I wished my baby could have a father strongly. I insisted on asking him, "Do you want to see me pregnant or not?"

He remained silent.

If he didn't admit it, he would be denying it, wouldn't he?

I hid the disappointment in my heart and put on a relaxing smile, "No. I lied to you. No matter how silly I am, I won't have a child with

a man who doesn't love me."

At this time, the car also arrived at the door of Lisa's house.

I opened the door quickly and was about to get out of the car. Then I heard the man beside me saying, "As long as you are obedient, I promise you that you will always be Mrs. Cowell. As for our child... Just wait."

His brief words made me so confused!

"Is this a compromise?"

"Sort of."

Recalling how Patrick had been treating me indifferently and mocking me previously, I thought that he actually started to change.

For a moment, I even felt that as long as it went on like this, maybe one day, we could get along with each other gradually.

But when it came to some things, I thought of them from a naive point of view.

It was the weekend the next day. When I was working overtime in the company on the effect picture, Seth came to me.

He explained to me that he had been on a business trip recently, which was why he wasn't in the company.

He came back today, intending to ask me to accompany him to buy some clothes.

He had done me a lot of favors whether in terms of the work or my life recently. So I couldn't refuse him.

We went to a department store near the company and went straight to the area specifically for men's clothing.

Admittedly, Seth was in good physical shape. Whichever shop he dropped by and whichever clothes he wore, he all looked good. However, for the clothes I thought highly of, he would buy them all.

Later on, I couldn't stand it anymore. So I just shut up and let him decide it by himself.

Even so, he ended up purchasing seven or eight pieces of clothes and two suits and then handed them all to the waiter in the shopping mall, asking them to send the clothes to his house sometime.

We took an elevator downstairs. When we were on the third floor, I happened to see the area exclusively for babies' items and paused.

Seth misunderstood me and said, "Wait for a moment."

After that, he ran to the area for children's supplies and got a purple teddy bear.

When I came to my senses and wanted to stop him, I saw two people in the area where the supplies for newborn babies were sold...

They were Patrick and Caroline.

They pushed a small-sized cart as they were choosing the supplies for babies.

I stood far away. But I could see the light in Patrick's eyes. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

It seemed that he was looking forward to the birth of this child.

"Here you are." Seth came back soon and handed me the purple bear, "You were looking at this just now, weren't you?"

I replied numbly, "Yes, thank you." Then I pulled Seth away.

As the saying goes, what a small world, which was so true.

I had avoided them successfully in the mall. But when we had meals in the restaurant, I met them again.

As soon as Seth and I sat down, we saw a waiter arranging for Patrick and Caroline to sit at the table across us.

When Caroline saw us, she came over immediately to greet us, "Ah, isn't this Mr. Seth, whom Caroline had on her mind when she was at college?"

Her eyes were full of shrewdness. I had already knew what she was thinking about.
