All Chapters of Substitute Bride,Substitute Love: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Although Seth was changing the subject, regarding what he said, I indeed had to face it as well. ...... After all, he had confessed to me in front of many colleagues of mine today. I did have to make the relationship between the two of us clear. However... "I'm sorry." I, who had been pondering on it for a whole day, could only say so in the end. As soon as I finished my words, Seth pressed his index finger against my lips, "Shh. I know what you are worried about. As long as you stand behind me, never should you be afraid. I surely will protect myself. Only in this way can I protect you." His answer put me in a momentary trance. "But..." As I wanted to remind him that Patrick wouldn't let us go just like that, Seth said first, "You won't get me into trouble." I had to admit that Seth did have touched me. I was not sure this counted as a confirmed relationship. But after that, I would spend 2 days weekly having meal

That afternoon, Patrick took me to a fashion studio, chose a set of evening dresses for me, and matched it with a short cloak. I put on makeup and did the styling there. When everything was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought of my future life. I felt helpless. Moreover, I felt sad as well as despicable. That evening, I continued to put on a show with Patrick at Ned's house. We were pretending to be a loving couple. At the banquet, Ned urged us over and over again, saying that we should bear him a fat grandson. I agreed with a faint smile. But I knew that this kind of thing would never happen. After we came out of the Cowell Family house, I was about to get in the car. However, the tassel of the small cloak was hooked onto the covered button of Patrick's belt. I wore a low-cut evening dress inside. So I hadn't ever taken off the cloak over the banquet that night. But, at this time, the tassel was hoo

For a long time, the office was quiet. Only then did I hear Seth say, "If you do think so, I will respect your decision. But..." He paused and continued, "If you can't pretend anymore one day and you believe that I can survive from Patrick and protect you, remember to come back to my side." His words made me extremely guilty. I didn't remember how I had left his office that day. But as soon as I returned to the villa, I took off all my clothes and got changed with my cheap dress. This was who I was. In the next month, I didn't know how I had made it. I couldn't even find a reason to live on. Seth would occasionally call me. If I didn't answer his call, he would text me. I didn't get back to him either. One day, I received a call from Angie. As soon as I answered her phone, she scolded me. Only then did I know that something had happened to Glorious Seth Design. I had done as Patrick said. And I had resigned f

It was probably because that I was titled as Mrs. Cowell that her words made I feel sad. Even if I refused to admit it, the truth was right in front of me. This piece of land was located in the downtown of City Y where every inch of land worthed a lot. Moreover, it was not far from the office building of Patrick's Towering High Group. The value of this place was immeasurable. Since Patrick was willing to buy this land for Caroline, it meant that she was very important to him. Looking at Caroline, I sneered and said, "My husband is so blessed, who has taken both of us in. Especially you, Caroline, as a mistress, you enjoy this title with great relish." "You!" Caroline started to get angry. But soon, she calmed down and said, "Don't be proud. You are a woman with a criminal record. I will see how the Cowell Family can tolerate you!" "Can't they tolerate me? My husband has already concealed the fact that I went to jail for me. Grandpa Cowell only

Caroline quickly caught up with me, grabbed my wrist, and said with a grim smile, "Charlotte Archer, you assume that you can be Mrs. Cowell with ease?"  I turned to look at her, "Hmm?" I had seen all kinds of evil persons in prison. And I just found her ridiculous while seeing her like this. "Don't assume that Patrick likes you and intends to be with you in the future since he respects you. Let me tell you, you should stop daydreaming about it!" Caroline deliberately lowered her voice. I looked at her and blinked as I said, "Caroline Archer, I hope you can understand that it's not me who wants to be Mrs. Cowell now. It's Patrick who insists that I should be his wife. If you can let him divorce me, I will be grateful to you." "Stop pretending! I'll get you to lose the title of Mrs. Cowell soon!" My indifferent attitude provoked Caroline instead! That night, after the dinner was over, Patrick asked a driver over because everyone had been dr
