Substitute Her to Love You novel Chapter 262

Shelton introduced Jeremy to me, "He is Patrick's assistant."

Looking enlightened all of a sudden, I said flatly, "Okay."

Given my relationship with Patrick, I shouldn't be so polite to his assistant.

Seeing that I didn't like him, Jeremy said nothing else.

On the contrary, Shelton asked him, "Are you here to help Patrick buy something?"

Jeremy explained respectfully to Shelton, "Yes, Mr. Cowell has to attend a social event in the evening. He needs a formal suit. The one in the company was accidentally stained. So he sent me here to buy a new one."

Shelton slightly nodded saying nothing further.

I was relieved in my heart.

Patrick had something to do tonight, showing that he wouldn't show up at the family banquet later.

I thought it was quite good.

The elevator soon descended to the floor where the underground garage was. Jeremy parted with us and went to his car.

Shelton drove me all the way to Ned's house.

It wasn't the first time I had been here.

However, it was the first time I had come here with Shelton.

The house looked no more different from what it was five years ago. However, the trees here were taller. And the flowers were blooming more brightly.

Getting out of the car, I stood on the road and looked in the corner's direction, saying, "We met each other the first time here."

"I remember it." Shelton smiled, "You and your sister were quarreling."

Hearing his words, I felt a little lost.

Yes, at that time, Caroline and I were quarreling.

Now, Caroline and I were boundlessly separated by life and death. And Patrick was a stranger to me.

Caroline and I quarreled six or seven years ago. However, in my heart, it was just like a matter in my previous life.

"Let's go. Don't think about the past anymore." Shelton put his hand on my shoulder.

He always knew what I was thinking about.

I turned around and accompanied him to walk into the Cowell Family.

The housekeeper had been waiting there early at the door. Upon seeing Shelton and me, he bowed to us respectfully and said, "Mr. Shelton, Master has been waiting inside."

After we entered the house, nobody was there.

Except for the servants, Ned was the only one in the large room.

Sitting alone on the principal seat of the sofa in the living room, he was dressed in a set of linen clothes.

It had been five years since I saw him last time. He was much more aged. With his eyes sunken, he doesn't look mentally fit as he used to be.

Seeing Shelton and I going in, Ned stood up excitedly, "Oh, Shelton, you finally bring a girl home before I am dead."

"Grandpa... Uncle Ned."

I almost blurted out, calling Ned Grandpa Ned. But thinking of my identity, I changed my wordings immediately.

But Ned had heard my words. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Whether you call me Grandpa Ned or Uncle Ned, it is all the same to me."

I smiled awkwardly.

Helping Ned sit down, Shelton said, "Father, didn't you say that when it came to the relationship, I should put quality before quantity? I bring my beloved home now."

"Well done."

Sizing me up and down, Ned had a content look on his face.

Thinking of Ned's previous attitude towards me, I found that he looked completely different from what he used to be.

A servant came over and served Shelton and me with tea.

I took a sip of the tea. Then Ned asked me, "What's your name, girl? How old are you? What's your job? Where are your parents now?"
