Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 251

Shelton got in the car as well.

He drove me away.

Sitting in the passenger seat, I saw that Patrick had been standing there motionlessly through the rearview mirror.

Stopping the car at the parking slot downstairs, he got out of the car first and opened the car door for me.

Reaching out his hand out to me, he said, "Mind your step."

"Thank you." Supported by Shelton's hand, I stood up.

With Shelton's support, I hobbled into the elevator.

In the elevator, I roughly told Shelton about the recent situation of this project.

My clothes on my body were completely soaked wet. When we reached the door of Shelton's room, he took out the key to my room and asked, "Your clothes in previous days are in your house. I'll get one set for you. While you should take a bath at my house."

"Taking a shower at his house?"

I found it a pretty embarrassing thing. Leaning against the door of my house, I said, "How about I go back to my home to take a bath first? I'll go to your house after taking a bath. Then you can help me check the injury on my feet."

As I spoke, I wanted to get the key.

Hiding the key behind him, Shelton shook his head with a smile on his face, "Sorry."

"Why not?"

"Your foot is injured. I won't be at ease if I allow you to take a bath alone." After saying that, he took out the key and opened the door to the house that I used to live in. After entering my house, he changed his shoes first and got a pair of slippers for me, saying, "Don't worry. I won't peek at you when you are taking a bath."

His words made me blush.

Shelton helped me move a chair to the side, making me sit down. Realizing that he wanted to help me change my shoes, I said quickly, "Let me do it by myself."

"It's okay. Let me do it."

Pressing his hand on my hand, he stopped me.

He put on the slippers for me.

I entered the house, only to find that although I hadn't come back here for five years, it didn't look aged at all.

The entire room was spotless.

There was a set of beige beddings with cartoon patterns on the bed. At first glance, it was a brand- new set.

I pointed at the bedding, "Well, they are..."

"I ask someone to clean here up every month and change the bedding products. The beddings you used to use were washed too many times. They are tattered, so I bought you a new set." After Shelton finished his words, he looked at me and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you like it?"

Looking at the cute kitten image on the beddings, I couldn't help curling up the corner of my mouth as I nodded, "Yes. However, I am 30 years old. If I continue to use this kind of beddings, will others laugh at me?"

"Of course not" Walking up to me and reaching out his hand to touch my hair, he looked at me with a gentle and firm look in his eyes and said, "In front of me, you will always be a child. And you don't have to grow up."

His tone sounded quite serious, showing that he wasn't fooling me at all.

Looking at him, I inexplicably felt secure in my heart.

I walked into my room alone and checked the clothes I had worn five years ago.

Over the past few years, I had been staying by Ryan's side. After studying ancient civilization and history, I was more and more in love with modified traditional clothing. I found them comfortable to wear.Moreover, they could better set off my temperament.

At first, Ryan didn't like modified traditional clothing. However, under my influence, he gradually liked them.

As for these clothes in the cupboard, I hadn't worn them for a long time.

I took out a T-shirt and a skirt as well as a set of underwear randomly.

Besides these, I had to get a bath towel.

I went into the bathroom only to find that all kinds of sealed skincare products were on the washbasin.

Besides, shampoo was on the shelf next to the washbasin.

I couldn't help but feel startled.

"Mr. Shelton, these skincare products..." I shouted outside.

Knowing that I got what I needed, Shelton went in from outside. Seeing the skincare products which I was pointing at, he wasn't surprised. Instead, he explained, "I've been expecting that you may come back here one day. So I've been buying skincare products for you. But I don't know much about things for women. The nurses in the hospital recommended these products to me."

"Thank you."

Seeing these, besides being moved, I felt warm-hearted in my heart.

Shelton was truly considerate.

Seeing that I didn't move, he quickly came over and explained to me, "I bought these at the beginning of this year. The previous ones were expired."

"Thank you." Besides expressing my gratitude, I indeed didn’t know what else to say.

I took some basic skincare products, shampoo, hair conditioner, and body wash before I went to Shelton's room.

Shelton's room was as clean as it used to be many years ago.

I took a shower quickly and got changed. Wiping my hair, I walked out of the bathroom and saw several bottles on the low table. Shelton was looking at one of them. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing me, he put down the book in his hands and walked quickly to me. Helping me sit down on the sofa, he said in a warm tone, "Let me help you check your injury. Then I'll go out to buy the medicine."

Shelton was down on his knees in front of me, holding my left foot with both hands and gently twisting it.

"Hiss..." Feeling much pain, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Shelton immediately lessened his strength and said with a slight frown, "You didn't hurt your bones. Even so, I'd better go out and buy a spray. Wait for me here."

He spoke as he got up and walked out.

As he was about to go out, he reminded me, "Don't move randomly."

"Okay."

I nodded.

After Shelton went out, I didn't move randomly. Sitting on the sofa obediently, I looked around.

His home was as it used to be, looking minimalistic.

There was nothing else but medical books .

There wasn't even a cushion on the couch.

I had to buy one for him!

Thinking like this, I jumped to my bag's side, took out my cell phone, and ordered a pillow with a cute cat face on it, attaching the delivery info with Shelton's address and phone number.

"Knock. Knock. Knock."

As soon as I placed an order online, someone knocked on the door.

I instantly assumed that Shelton was back. Without overthinking it, I hopped to the door.

As I opened the door, I laughed at him. "Did you forget the..."

Before I could even finish my words, I held myself back.

Unexpectedly, Patrick was standing at the door!

Behind him, a man who was carrying a white medical kit in his hands. I realized that he should be the doctor whom Patrick had summoned for me.

Patrick was stunned as well.

He lowered his eyes and stared coldly at the clothes on my body. His face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice.

I came to my senses. Feeling so scared, I wanted to close the door. However, Patrick moved faster than me!

He pressed against the door with one hand and the door frame with the other, saying to the doctor behind him, "Wait outside."

"Yes, Sir."

As the doctor spoke, he took a step back.

Patrick stepped into the room and directly bumped into me blocking the door!

Failing to stand firm, I fell backward directly!

He closed the door and pressed his whole body forward. By the time I came to my senses, his face had been so close to me.

"You... Hmm!"

As I was about to speak, he kissed me directly.
