Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 345

Seeing that they were about to leave, I was a little nervous. However, the one who was more nervous than me was Shelton.

Shelton walked straight over and blocked their way. Although he had a smile on his face, he said in a bad tone, "Patrick, where are you taking my son?"

Patrick responded flatly, "Having fun."

Shelton looked at Patrick and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Patrick, you have never been with a child. There are so many people here. What if you don't pay attention and make Glenn end up being in an accident?"

"He won't."

"How can you be sure of that?"

The two of them stood there. For a time, the atmosphere became tense again.

Back then, Shelton had taken Glenn away. That was why I left Patrick and went to his side instead.

Now Patrick was going to take Glenn away, which Shelton surely would object to.

At this time, in Patrick's arms, Glenn said, "Dad, go ahead with your own business. Don't worry about us. I will take good care of Uncle."

"What's that?"

Looking at Glenn in his arms, Patrick suddenly burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, Glenn's words made the nervous adults around all burst into laughter.

Even I couldn't help but smile. And I asked Glenn helplessly, "How are you going to take care of him?"

"Well, if there is a bad guy, I will do as Grandpa Ryan taught me. Hit him with the right hook, the upper hook, and then the bottom hook! I will hit the bad guy!"

He gesticulated with his two small hands as he spoke.

He, a little child, waved his little arms from time to time, looking more adorable.

Seeing Glenn like this, Ned couldn't stop laughing, "All right, let them go. There's nothing to be worried about."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Putting his hands on his mouth, Glenn blew a kiss to Ned and gave another kiss to Shelton, saying, "Dad, don't worry!"

Patrick held Glenn in his arms and left.

Seeing this, Shelton couldn't say anything at all.

I sat there and felt at ease for no reason.

The engagement banquet lasted for more than three hours. When it was about to end, Patrick hadn't brought Glenn back yet.

As Shelton was talking to someone else, I felt a little uneasy in the end.

I got up and went outside to look for them.

I asked a few waiters. In the end, someone told me that they saw Glenn and Patrick go to have fun in the back garden of the restaurant.

It was now the end of January. It was so cold in the back garden. What if Glenn caught a cold?

Moreover, how could the two of them have had fun outside for so long?

I was so worried that I put on a coat and went out.

After taking a detour, I finally took a detour to the back garden. Although it was at night, the back garden was full of lights, illuminating the entire garden very brightly.

Before I could see Glenn, I heard the sounds of his laughter from a distance!

Following the laughter, I walked over. Originally, I thought that they were having fun with something new. However, only after I arrived there did I find that they were having fun in a small maze built with flowers.

The maze was half a meter high.

As Glenn ran back and forth inside, Patrick went to catch him.

Glenn, a child, naturally, couldn't overwhelm Patrick in terms of running. However, each time when Patrick was about to catch Glenn, he would slow down so that Glenn could run over again.

I looked at the father and son from a distance. Playing a simple game, they were enjoying themselves quite much instead Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I looked at Glenn, feeling that I was in a trance for a moment.

Since he was a child, he had a lot of thoughts on his mind. Sometimes, he was a little proud. But sometimes, he would take advantage of the fact that he was a child to do something.

He rarely became who he really was and had fun in such a natural way.

At the thought of this, I felt extremely sour in my heart.

I couldn't bear to disturb them. Even so, thinking that the engagement party was over, I walked over and shouted, "Glenn, time to go home."

"Mom!" Glenn, who was running, suddenly stopped and looked at me. And his tone sounded a little lost.

Patrick also stopped and asked, "Is the engagement party over?"

I nodded and said, "Well, it's time to go back home. Thank you for having fun with Glenn."

Hearing this, Patrick looked much more gloomy.

However, Glenn didn't notice anything.

Glenn stretched out his hand and took Patrick's hand. After I walked over, he quickly took my hand again.

He looked at me and said, "This is my mom."

He then looked at Patrick and said, "This is my father."

His words made me stunned.

As I tried to correct him, Glenn shook his head and said in a joyful voice, "Like others, Glenn has a father and a mother. Other children will never laugh at me again."

Hearing his words, I felt that something had poked at my heart viciously.

Hearing this, I held back what I was going to say.

Patrick got Glenn's point as well. After a long while, he said, "Well, Dad will take you and your mom back soon, okay?"

"Okay!" Nodding with all his might, Glenn said, "It's a deal!"

Deal."

Patrick squatted down. As Glenn pulled his left hand, he stretched out his right hand and raised his little finger.

Glenn let go of the hand that was pulling me, reached out his little finger, and hooked it with Patrick's little finger, saying seriously, "Pinching the hook and making a deal. We can't change our minds for a hundred years! Whoever does will become a dog!"

"Yes! Dad promise you." Patrick patted Glenn's head.

Then, he picked him up in his arms.

With his arms around Patrick's neck tightly, Glenn leaned his head on Patrick's shoulder and asked, "Are you leaving? When will I see you next time?"

"It won't be long."

Patrick responded.

His voice sounded infinitely gentle.

I never thought that Patrick would be like this as a father.

When I looked back, I seemed to see a figure flashing at the corner. However, when I looked at it again, there was nothing.

I thought I was hallucinating.

And I thought it was just a shadow caused by the wind blowing over the branches.

By the time Patrick held Glenn in his arms and returned to the banquet hall with me, many guests had left. A few of them were exchanging pleasantries with Shelton. By the side, Ned and his children stood there and talked to each other.

When we went over, Shelton looked at us.

It was unknown whether I had the wrong perception or not. Unexpectedly, there was a sense of frustration and sadness in Shelton's bright and clear eyes at this time.

When he saw us, he said goodbye to the guests in front of her. Walking over, he said, "Come on, let's go home."

Seeing that Shelton wanted to hug him, Glenn looked very reluctant. However, he, who was sensible, hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay, Dad. I can walk on my own."

Originally, it was better for children to walk by themselves rather than stayed in adults' arms.

However, Glenn got out of Patrick's arms and requested to walk by himself instead of allowing Shelton to hug him. It somewhat embarrassed Shelton.

Patrick put Glenn on the ground. Then Glenn went over, grabbed my hand, and yawned loudly. After saying goodbye to Ned, we left.

On the way back, Glenn fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.

I held him in my arms. After a day of tossing and turning, I was a little tired, so I leaned on the back seat and wanted to have a rest.

At this time, Shelton suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand. With an ambiguous look in his eyes, he asked, "Honey, are you ready?"

I was a little sleepy at first. However, after hearing his words, I was no longer drowsy.
