After I said that, Patrick's eyes dimmed. Fearing that he would misunderstand me, I smiled slightly and added, "Ever since my parents left me, I realized that what they said was right." "Your parents..." "They died in a flight disaster." When I spoke, I had a calm look on my face. I was neither sorrowful nor sad. It wasn't because I wasn't talking about my own matters. Instead, it was because, before this, I had figured out how I should tell others if this matter happened to me. I thought that with my character, I surely wouldn't cry or show too much pain. Looking at me, Patrick was silent for a long time. Then he said, "Sorry, I didn't know about this." "It's all right. It is a matter of the past. I have to move on." As I put down all the documents in my hands on the table one after another, my cell phone rang. It was a call from Calvin. I talked to him about some things about the project on the phone. When I hung
I was taken aback by what I saw. They kissed fervently for a long time. Many passers-by couldn't help but look in their direction. However, they unscrupulously kissed each other as if no one were around them. Seeing such a scene, I felt that my heart thumping wildly! I couldn't be convinced by what I had seen at all! "Why did Kelsi kiss another man?" "Did she cheat on Patrick?" "Did Patrick know about this?" For a moment, I was in a mess on my mind. The two of them kissed each other for about two minutes before they parted. With the man wrapping his arm around Kelsi's waist, the two of them snuggled to each other and passed by me. They left. Seeing Kelsi leave, I had an inexplicable feeling in my heart. Kelsi was a characteristic young lady from a rich family. How could she be such a person? Who on earth was this man? When I was hesitating, my cell phone rang. The workers from Town S had got off the pla
That day, I seemed to have a nightmare during the daytime. At a large table on the first floor of the studio, I sat on one side. And Patrick sat on the other side. To prevent him from finding out that I had stayed up all night, I drank two cups of coffee in a row. By noon, although my eyes were open, my brain was almost out of function. With a mouse in my hands, I clicked on the computer screen haphazardly. In the end, I couldn't hold on any longer. Looking up at Ji Patrick and seeing that he was concentrating on his work, I rested on the table and fell asleep. When I woke up again, the sky outside the window was still completely dark. I glimpsed at the clock on the wall stating that it was close to 5 p.m. Sitting on the bed, I was in a daze for a long time. Then I remembered what had happened before I fell asleep. I was resting on the table. How come I was lying on the bed on the second floor now? Also, speaking of the clothes on my body
"No." Lying there, I felt that the feeling I was familiar with was all over my body. I knew that if I made a little compromise... What would happen next would be beyond my imagination "Give me some time. I'll divorce Kelsi. We will be together in the future. Never should we get separated." Patrick held me in his arms with powerful strength. His tone and what he had said couldn't be more familiar to me. It was a pity I was no longer as dumb as I had been five years ago. "Mr. Cowell, I'm Janetta Nolan." I said word by word. I warned myself in my heart repeatedly that I couldn't make a compromise and that never should I! I surely couldn't compromise. I used to be in between Caroline and Patrick in such a ridiculous way. Now, I didn't want to be ridiculous again. Patrick didn't understand the meaning of my words. He held me in his arms and said to me, "It doesn't matter who you are. I know you are Charlotte Archer, whi
As soon as I clicked opened an online shopping application, Patrick covered my hand with his slender fingers, "I have to get a mug now." Looking up at him, I didn't get his point. He paused for a while and continued, "Accompany me to buy one outside." "Mr. Cowell, I have work to do." I decisively refused with no deliberation. He, who seemed to have guessed that I would say so, blurted, "I will delay the deadline for you." I knew that Patrick surely wouldn't give up with ease before he got a mug. I just had to accompany him to buy a mug. Glancing the time, I found that it was 10 a.m. sharp. If I went out with him, I probably could bump into Shelton visiting me here. "Alright." I agreed. Patrick drove me to an independent shop near the studio. Entering the shop, I found that it was a high-end shop for cutlery only. The tablewares inside the shop were placed in series, one after another. Seeing Patrick com
Looking at me, Patrick paused and said, "I failed you before, but I will try to do better and let you know that my love is not ..." "Patrick, I have a child with Janetta." Before Patrick could finish his words, Shelton interrupted him. Hearing his words, both Patrick and I were frightened! I looked at Shelton in surprise. "How could he tell Patrick about Glenn's existence?" "If Patrick knew that I was pregnant with his child back then, he surely wouldn't let me go!" Before I spoke, Patrick said first, "Do you think I will believe your words?" There was a hint of contempt in his tone. He was mocking Shelton for making such a clumsy joke. Shelton wasn't surprised. He continued, "It's not you who hurt her before but me." "Forget it." Although I didn't know what Shelton was going to say, I interrupted him hypocritically. Since Patrick didn't believe Shelton's words, Shelton should stop talking about my child anym
"I'm fine." I lowered my eyes and looked at the wound on my hand. I was in so much pain in my heart. So I couldn't even feel the pain coming from my fingers. Shelton took out a band-aid from his pocket, stuck it on my wound, and scolded me, "You're a designer. A designer values her hand as much as her appearance. How come you say you are fine?" I lowered my head slightly. Shelton seemed to sense that I was in a bad mood and patted me on my head, "Could it be that you can't get him out of your mind?" I didn't speak. Neither did my expression change in the slightest. However, I couldn't deceive myself in my heart. Shelton took me into his arms and patted me gently on my back, "I know that I am not him and that I can't be him. But I will do everything I can to treat you well. I will be wholly devoted to you all my life." To me, what he had said was the best promise. He would treat me whole-heartedly all over his life. What
A week later, I almost finished the landscape gardening design. After communicating with Calvin, I could get the indoor design started. Speaking of indoor design, I was only in charge of a small part of it. It would take me two weeks to finish it. That afternoon, as soon as I came out of the Institute of Architecture Design, I saw Shelton standing at the entrance. Standing against the sun, he, who wore a white shirt, looked handsome and warm. When we had lunch together, I told him I would come here in the afternoon. I didn't expect that he would come here to wait for me. Walking up to him quickly, I asked, "How come you are waiting for me here?" "Yes." Shelton took the documents over from my hand and asked me gently, "Do you have time tonight?" "What's the matter?" In theory, Shelton knew my working hours and schedule on usual days quite well. In City Y, except for him, I didn't interact with anyone else. He specifically
