Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 202

My words probably gave Patrick confidence. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Okay."

His brief answer meant the greatest forgiveness for me.

Seeing him go upstairs to pack up his things, I followed him up.

Seeing him taking out his shirt and tie, I said, "Well, if you are on a business trip in the future, I can help you pack up your things."

As soon as I said that, I regretted it.

I didn't intend to stay with Patrick for a long time. And I didn't have to take care of these things.

Originally, I spoke gently. But Patrick heard my words. He came over, took my hands directly, and led me into his dressing room. Then he pointed to the items of clothes one after another and said, "These shirts are for work on usual days. And these shirts are for formal occasions, such as important banquets..."

He pulled me and introduced all his clothes to me, including the shirt, the cuff button, the tie,

and the tie knot.

After he finished listening, I stood on his side with a blank face.

In the past, I used to think that men's clothes were almost the same. How could there be so many differences?

Patrick had almost finished introducing all of his clothes. When he turned around and saw that I was looking at him with a confused look, he couldn't help but curl up his lips, "Forget it. I'll do it by myself. I'm quite happy that you had thought of it."

By saying so, he meant that I was willing to stay by his side for a prolonged period.

Unfortunately, I said so because I was on the spur of the moment just now. I knew deep in my heart that I didn't want to stay by Patrick's side all the time.

What he needed was a more powerful woman who could protect herself rather than a woman like me...

From a certain point of view, losing the two children was partly due to me.

It was because I wasn't strong enough.

Since I couldn't go out to work now, how about...

Seeing that Patrick had almost finished packing up his things, I asked him, "Do you have time now? I want to buy some painting tools." Fearing that he would refuse me, I said quickly, "Just for this time. I will try my best to buy every tool I need for painting. But if you are in a hurry, I will wait until you come back."

The reason I was in a hurry was that I wanted to find something to do in the next few days.

In this way, I wouldn't run out because of idleness.

"Yes. Let's go." Patrick immediately agreed. It seemed that it was something that he didn't need to consider at all.

He went downstairs with his luggage. It wasn't until I got downstairs that I discovered that two cars stopped outside.

We went out. The door of a car opened. Jeremy got out of the car and hurried to help Patrick carry his luggage.

After Jeremy put the luggage in the trunk, Patrick said, "You should go to the airport first. And I will accompany her to buy something."

"But, the time..."

"Go ahead."

Hearing his words, Jeremy, who originally wanted to say something, was interrupted by Patrick.

Only then did I realize that they were going to rush to catch a flight.

So I quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll go there by myself some other day. You'd better leave now."

"I'm free." Patrick didn't say anything else further. He pulled me to the passenger's seat and went to the driver's seat.

Jeremy was originally driving. When he saw Patrick driving, he went to another car.

The moment he opened the car door, I saw a person in the back seat of another car.

Although I didn't see who it was clearly, judging from the outline, I knew that it was Amanda!

Would Amanda go on a business trip alongside Patrick?

For no reason, I, who didn't mind Amanda, felt somewhat upset in my heart at this moment.

Patrick accompanied me to a painting shop near the Academy of Art of City Y. And he bought a lot of painting tools for me at once. Because we couldn't take all the tools away by driving, he asked the store owner to contact a delivery driver for me.

On the way back, I felt a little sorry, saying, "You should go to the airport first. Leave the rest to me." "No, they are too heavy. Let me do it." Patrick seemed to put the matter of going on a business trip

behind him completely, prioritizing me.

The more he was like this, the more embarrassed I was. Thinking of Archer Group's 51% shares, I thought about it for a moment before I said, "Thank you for buying Archer's Group."

"What?" Patrick, who was driving, glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes and frowned slightly, "I didn't buy Archer's Group."

"Didn't you buy it?"

His words confused me.

"What's the matter?"

"I met Gina and Jeremy just now. They said that someone had bought Archer's Group and transferred 51% of its shares to me. I thought..."

"I'll check it out."

Before I could finish my words, Patrick had taken out his cell phone from his pocket. It seemed that he was calling Jeremy. After the call was connected, Patrick said, "Check who acquired Archer's Group. Update me immediately."

After that, he hung up the phone.

When it came to the work, Patrick was still the same as before. He, who was resolute and decisive, didn't say much.

Before we could arrive home, Jeremy called Patrick. He talked for a while on the other side. Patrick just listened to his words. And his face was getting more and more gloomy.

After they talked over the phone for five minutes, the call was hung up. Patrick looked at me, "The one who purchased Archer's Group is a mysterious benefactor."

"A mysterious benefactor?" I blinked my eyes in disbelief, "Don't tell me there's someone else in City Y that you can't locate?" All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Patrick drove the car with a little dignified look on his face, "I roughly know who he is. But this person has never appeared in public. And his assets are also abroad. I know a little about every field thriving in City Y. But I don't know what he has under his name."

"I'm afraid that Jeremy has made a mistake. It's impossible for such a powerful person to buy Archer's Group and give me 51 percent of its shares."

"I indeed don't think that I will be so capable as to be favored by such a person."

Patrick didn't continue to speak.

When he accompanied me home, he watched a group of workers put the painting tools on the second floor and accompanied me to put them away before he was ready to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, I couldn't help but think of Amanda whom I had seen earlier...

"You're on a business trip. How come you're taking Amanda with you as well?"

"Are you jealous?" He turned to look at me. And there seemed to be a content smile in his eyes.

I felt sour in my heart. But I felt I had been jealous in vain. So I simply shook my head and said, "I just saw her. And I'm just asking."

He saw through my thoughts and pulled me directly to his side, "If you are jealous, follow me and keep an eye on me."

"No need."

If others knew that Patrick's woman was like this, I would feel ashamed.

"Go there with me, baby." He directly picked me up in his arms and kissed my upper lip lightly, "I want you to go there with me. You can take anything you purchased just now with you."

There was a feeling that someone missed the one he/she loved so much even before he/ she could leave.

I wondered if I was feeling so now. Whenever I thought that he was leaving, I felt a strong sense of reluctance.

An impulse arose in my mind. And I said, "Then I'll take a notebook and watercolor pigment with me."

"Okay, I'll go get them with you."

He quickly understood what I meant.

And he went upstairs with me to get the things.

When we arrived at the airport, Jeremy and Amanda were waiting in the hall. The expression on Jeremy's face didn't change. But Amanda had an impatient look on her face.
