Substitute Her to Love You novel Chapter 269

I turned around and recognized at a glance that this guest was Jeremy!

I hadn't seen him for five years. Jeremy was completely different from what he used to be.

He, who was much thinner than before, wore a long-sleeved sweater that had bulging pills on it.

There was an ordinary pair of jeans and leather shoes on his lower body.

I was somewhat incredulous.

Logically, after the Archer Family was in trouble back then, someone acquired it. No matter how poor they were, they had tens of millions of dollars.

Although he couldn't enjoy spending as much as he used to do, he surely could enjoy a prosperous life.

Seeing I was looking in her direction, the clerk said to me, "Wait a minute, lady."

"It's okay."

I lowered my voice.

Jeremy turned his head to look at me. At first, he was stunned for a moment. Then he

looked somewhat frightened.

When I assumed in surprise that he had recognized me, he quickly turned his head, took out some cash, and put it on the counter, saying, "I will pay the bill."

After the clerk paid the bill for him, Jeremy held the items and went out.

I bought some ginseng slices and Cordyceps Sinensis under the introduction of the clerk. Then I left.

"Charlotte."

As soon as I walked out of the store, I was about to call Shelton. Then someone called me from behind.

Although I had changed my name, I had been Charlotte Archer for more than 20 years. Hearing someone calling me, I subconsciously turned my head.

Unexpectedly, it was Jeremy who had called me.

Standing at the door of the store and holding the things he had just bought in his hands, he saw me look back and smiled awkwardly, "I was afraid that I would be mistaken. I didn't expect it to be you."

I remembered that Shelton once said to me, "You repay good for evil. How should others repay your good with virtue?"

After hesitating for a moment, I said, "Uncle, you have mistaken me for someone else."

After that, I was about to take a taxi and leave.

Jeremy caught up with me and stopped me, "Charlotte, I'm not mistaken. You're my daughter. How can I be wrong about it?"

Looking at Jeremy, I felt overwhelmingly complicated in my heart.

"Am I his daughter?"

"In the past, judging from what Jeremy did previously, he never treated me as his own daughter."

"If it weren't for the fact that he was down and out now, he wouldn't have bothered to talk to me."

"The reason why he talked to me now is that he sees that I'm living a better life than him and that he wants me to help them."

"I'm sorry, uncle. You are mistaken."

After I said that, I turned around, stopped a taxi, and went straight into the taxi.

By the time Jeremy caught up with me, I had closed the door. Then I said to the driver, "Go."

The driver stepped on the accelerator.

From the rearview mirror, I saw that Jeremy staggered.

The autumn wind was blowing strong. Wearing a thin sweater only, he stood there and looked particularly thin.

I couldn't help but feel a little moved.

I wondered if I had gone too far.

When I was about to call Shelton, Calvin called me first.

He seemed to have learned from nowhere that I was about to return to Town S, insisting that he would like to treat me to a meal.

I refused him over and over again. But he was quite persistent.

Helplessly, I could only agree.

At this time, unexpectedly, Shelton called and asked me, "Are you done with your work? What do you want to eat for dinner?"

Over these days, I met Shelton frequently. So he knew my work progress very well.

"Sorry, Calvin asked me to have dinner with him at night. I probably can't have dinner with you."

I apologized to him.

Hearing my words, Shelton was silent for a moment over the phone. Then he said, "Okay. In that case, tell me the address. After I'm done with my work, I'll go wait for you there and send you back."

"There's no need. I'll call a taxi and go back by myself after the dinner is over."

Usually, at such a banquet, it would take a lot of time for the attendees to drink with another.
