"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."

Seth didn't know what had happened between Caroline and me. So he greeted her friendly. Caroline took the opportunity to ask Patrick if she could share the table with us. In fact, I didn't want to. But Seth agreed. The four of us shared a table and moved to a private room instead of staying in the hall. While ordering the dishes, Caroline said in a sweet voice, "I'm pregnant. I can't eat spicy food or seafood. Sorry for troubling you. Kindly don't order these food when you place an order." After she said that, she looked at me again, "Charlotte, are you scrupulous about some food?" She was implying something. "No," I said decisively. Moreover, when I saw how intimate Caroline and Patrick were, I was even more certain that I was not going to have a baby in City Y. Caroline understood what my words meant. She didn't want Patrick to know about my pregnancy more than I did. It was Caroline and Seth who were mainly placing th
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 29 I Was Handcuffed
After the weekend, on Wednesday, Stanley, the insignificant celebrity who used to be my client, contacted me all of a sudden, which was a surprise to me. After all, the decoration of her wedding room was about to come to an end. She said that she came up with a new idea regarding the design of her backyard. Previously, according to her request, the backyard, which was not spacious, was built into a Japanese-styled courtyard. Now it was almost finished. And she had a new idea. I was going to have a headache. In line with the principle that clients are God, I patiently advised her, "Miss Lance, it's like this. You approved the previous development plan. And the construction of the backyard is almost completed. If we change it now, the previous budget will..." "What? Are you afraid that I can't afford it?" Before I could finish my words, Stanley shouted at me over the phone. She acted as if she feared that I would think that she was poor. Wh

It wasn't until I arrived at the police station that I knew that Caroline had disappeared after meeting me in the afternoon. The search team had been searching for her for a few hours before they found her at about 10 p.m. at the foot of the mountain. At that time, she was already in a coma and seriously injured. The police guessed that she must have rolled down from the mountain. The reason why they found me was that I had a call record with her last night. And the last message before her disappearance was sent to me. The words of the message read, "Caroline, I've arrived. Where are you?" I was confused and immediately argued, "How could I have a call record with her? Are you kidding me? I've never contacted her. And I haven't contacted her for months!" Although I denied it, the police directly took out Caroline's call record over the month recently. The record showed that she and I would call each other every few days. The police could tell f
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 31 Don't Kill My Baby
Patrick pushed me so hard that I felt a pain in the spine and a faint pain in the stomach. "Bang!" The door was shut. And the police hurriedly came to lock the door. I chased after Patrick as I yelled and grabbed the small window on the door, "Patrick Cowell, I'm pregnant with your child!" "Then you should go to hell with your baby!" There came Patrick's cold cursing in the dark corridor. I stood where I was, feeling wronged and angry! The next day, I met Seth. And he said that he would help me get a lawyer to file a lawsuit. But later, he told me awkwardly that all the senior lawyers were not willing to take this case at present and only some new lawyers planned to have a try at it. Although my chances of winning the lawsuit were very slimy, he hoped that I would not give up. Not give up? How could I not give up under such a situation? A month later, the first trial began. I was brought to the court and stood in the defendant's se
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 32 Patrick Cowell, You Are So Ruthless!
The next morning, I was woken up by an prison guard, who asked me to work. As soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately grabbed her and said, "My child! Someone killed my child yesterday!" The prison guard looked at me up and down, "Are you crazy?" "I am not!" I defended myself. However, the intruders had taken away everything that flowed out of my stomach with the basins they had brought yesterday. I lowered my head and saw that there was still some blood on my pants. Then I pointed to the bloodstain and said to the prison guard, "This, this is the blood that flowed out of my body yesterday!" The prison guard looked at me and rolled her eyes at me, "We are all women. You should have informed me earlier if you are having a period." No matter what I said, she wouldn't be convinced. And she arranged for me to go to work. When I finished my work and wanted to go back to my cell, the prison guard stopped me and pointed to a cell whe
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 33 Running into Patrick Again
Seeing that I looked at the toiletries as I walked to the bathroom, Seth said with a little shyness, "I haven't bought anything for a woman before. And I don't know what kinds of products you are using. So I just bought a few ones smelling fragrant." "Thank you." I opened the shampoo and smelled it. It was fragrant. After that, he took me to dinner. During the meal, he said that he was starting a business now and asked me if I was willing to go to his company to be a designer. I knew that he wanted to help me. But over the past one and a half years, I had been in prison. And I was not sure if I could be qualified for this position. Hearing my words, Seth said briefly, "I believe in you." After dinner, he took me to his company and showed me around. After that, he took me to a desk which was prepared for me. I found that it was a desk in the corner of an office which was closest to his office. Seth explained, "I remember that when yo
Substitute Bride,Substitute Love Chapter 34 I Once Got Pregnant and Got Divorced
In fact, it was not that I didn't think of seeing Patrick again after I was out of the prison. But I didn't expect it to be so fast. I hid behind a pillar and heard someone coming out of the hotel to flatter him. Based on their conversation, I roughly knew that this hotel belonged to Cowell's Group. "I can follow behind you as if I were a shadow chasing after the light in a daze..." As I hid behind the pillar and waited for them to leave first, my cell phone rang. It was Angie's call. I dared not to pick up the call. So I could only take the cell phone and rush into the hall. As soon as I entered the hall, Angie stood inside and looked at me up and down. After confirming that I was Charlotte, she began to arrange work for me. At a glance, I knew that Angie was used to being bossy. Anyway, she used to work in a big company. After I was assigned to be her assistant, she treated me as if I were a servant instead. In addition to g
