Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 322

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

It's quite strange for me to say that we never had sex, since we were both adults.

But if I said yes...

In the face of Patrick, I found it difficult to say yes.

I felt that Shelton pinched my shoulder with a little force.

I looked at him.

Shelton suddenly leaned over, kissed my forehead, and then said with a smile, "Sorry, I know you are shy. I shouldn't mention this in public."

"Mm..." I nodded my head gently, as a posture for agreement.

I thought I had dodged the bullet, but Shelton continued, "However, this is about my dignity. If you don't say it, others will really think that I lost my ability."

He looked at me softly, but expected me to say something he wished.

He was waiting for me to confirm his ability. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I hesitated and then I realized that he just needed a simple answer. But when I was about to open my mouth, I heard Dulcie say, "Do you guys have to talk about this private thing when we are eating?"

As soon as she spoke, this topic was over.

Everyone knew that Dulcie had divorced for many years. It seemed that she had never found a boyfriend since then, so she certainly hadn't experienced what we were talking about for many years.

She sounded furious, so no one talked about this anymore.

It's over.

Soon, the dishes were served.

At the dining table, everyone was talking about businesses, and they also cared about the marriage between Shelton and me, especially Ned. He had been stressing over and over again that we should have as many children as possible after marriage.

We talked and drank.

The waiter poured Ned another glass of wine. Shelton and I toasted Ned.

After emptying the glass, Ned patted Shelton's arm and said, "Shelton, your marriage has always been the top priority in my heart. Now that you are engaged, I am relieved now. We will also settle down the wedding date tomorrow. You should have a child in half a year. Or you can have a child before the wedding. When your child is born, we will hold the wedding next year."

Ned wanted nothing but the increase in the members of the Cowell Family.

He had been talking about it so many times tonight, and I was used to it.

Shelton held me in his arms, lowered his head and said gently, "Did you hear that? We should work harder when we are back home tonight."

With a blush on my face, I lowered my head and didn't respond.

After we toasted to Ned, Patrick, who had been silent the whole night, suddenly said, "I have something to announce, grandpa."

"What?" Ned looked at him and asked with a smile, "Is Clark pregnant? My great grandson is about to come to this world?"

"No." Patrick directly denied. He looked at me and said, "I divorced Clark. I just did it this afternoon."

Divorce?!

His words were like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky!

I looked at Patrick unbelievably. I was at a loss!

Why did he do this? What would he do next?!

Everyone present was as surprised as I was!

Sheridan raised his hand and directly gave Patrick a slap. "Bastard! What's wrong with you! Are you f*king kidding us?"

By the side, Ned's face was also filled with astonishment.

"I'm not kidding."

As Patrick spoke, he took out a jujube- red certificate from his pocket.

On its cover was "Divorce Certificate".

When Patrick said this, he kept staring at me with his deep black eyes and did not move away from me for a second.

Sheridan grabbed the divorce certificate and opened it. He skimmed it, and then stood up to tear the certificate into pieces. He threw these pieces on the ground, and scolded, "You scum! What the hell do you want to do?! How can you divorce Clark like this? Are you going to give up the company?"

Patrick looked up at Sheridan and said calmly, "It's because of the Towering High that I divorced her. I don't need to rely on women, and I don't want to burden her with the company."

"Nonsense!" Sheridan shouted furiously, "Tell me, what the hell do you want to do? Clark is a good girl! Do you need me to repeat those bad things you have ever done? Clark didn't mind your past and married you, and you just divorced her?!"

Patrick just stood there and listened to Sheridan's roar, without saying a word.

He didn't even want to refute.

The more he acted like this, the angrier Sheridan became. But soon, Sheridan changed his mood. Putting on a cold face, he looked at Patrick and sneered, "Are you going to let us help you? I tell you, I won't let anyone help you! If you want Archer's Group to go broke, do whatever you want!"

Finishing his speech to Patrick, he turned to Shelton and Dulcie and said, "Don't help him!" Then he said to Ned, "Dad, please don't help him this time. He is totally spoiled!"

I stood on the side and looked at Patrick, feeling very uneasy.

The timing of Patrick's divorce was not like a coincidence.

It happened on the day before our engagement.

From my point of view, his purpose was obvious.

Patrick glanced around and said indifferently, "I don't need help. As long as you guys don't frame me, I will be very grateful."

"Frame you?" Dulcie looked at him. "Who will frame you?"

Patrick turned his head and looked at Shelton. Before he could say anything, Shelton opened his mouth first, "Patrick, you are too hotheaded. Divorce is a big deal. How can you make such an decision without thinking thoroughly?"

"You are right." Patrick walked past half of the table and stood in front of Shelton. "So I'd like to invite you to have a chat tonight. I wonder if you agree my invitation."

"Fine."

Shelton agreed without thinking.

These two men just stood there. One was expressionless, and the other wore a faint smile on his face.

Shelton appeared calmer.

"Stop it!" Ned finally couldn't stand it anymore. He glanced at Sheridan and Dulcie and said, "You two, get out."

"Us?"

Sheridan was somewhat surprised.

Ned nodded. "Yes, you two get out. I want a talk with them!"

As a woman, Dulcie was more sensitive. When she heard Ned's words, she looked at me, teasing, "My sister-in-law is that attractive?"

Sheridan immediately understood what she

meant.

He examined me carefully, wanting to see through me.

After a while, Sheridan said, "You, you look similar to Patrick's ex-wife!"

"No wonder." Dulcie sneered. "Men usually don't treasure things when they have them. When they lose them, they start to frantically look for substitutes. The first time I saw Janetta, I felt that she was a nut job. I was right."

Sheridan heard her words and said, "There's no need for engagement. How can such a woman stay in our family! I don't agree!"

Sheridan cared most about his son.

If I could seduce Patrick, he naturally didn't want me to stay.

Ned heard his children's words and just simply repeated, "Get out!"

After that, he looked at me again. "You get out, too."
