However, Caroline did not lose her temper. Instead, she walked to the dining table and sat down on my seat. Then she said in a delicate voice, "I haven't had my breakfast yet."
"Go and prepare another one for her. And put the one for Madam on my side."
Patrick naturally instructed the servants.
I saw that as soon as he finished speaking, Caroline clenched her hand under the table into a fist. And the cyan blood vessels on the back of her hand bulged slightly.
Although I didn't understand what Patrick meant, I walked downstairs as if nothing had happened. Then I sat next to Patrick and watched the servant serve me the breakfast.
Patrick and I sat side by side, eating breakfast alone.
The servant quickly served another breakfast.
Caroline did not touch the food. She said first, "Caroline, the reason why Patrick and I have chosen to forgive you this time is more because that you're the one who was chosen by Grandma and Grandpa Cowell. So we don't want them to be in a dilemma."
"Oh."
I ate breakfast and found her ridiculous when I thought of how she had questioned Patrick over the phone in the morning.
Caroline didn't know about this. So she continued, "So I hope that we can get along well with each other in the future so as not to put Patrick as well as the elders in both families in a difficult position, okay?"
"Did she want to act as if she were a kind person?"
"But I'm going to expose her."
"Really? But why did I hear someone call my husband in the morning to question him, asking why he released me?" After I finished my words, I turned around and looked at Patrick. Then I raised my eyebrows slightly and made a teasing expression, "Isn't that so, honey?"
Caroline's face turned livid. She looked at Patrick as if she was waiting for him to cover up her lie.
However, Patrick focused on having his breakfast.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, he wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes."
I was very surprised that he would help me.
His brief answer made Caroline fail to control the look on her face.
She bowed her head and had breakfast silently. After the meal, she left.
I went upstairs to look for my cell phone. Only after that did I remember that my bag and cell phone had been thrown into the car by Patrick and I hadn't taken them along with me.
After I told him this, he gave me the car key.
I got back my cell phone, only to find that it had been turned off.
My cell phone was powered off.
After I turned on the cell phone again, I found that Lisa and Seth had made countless phone calls and sent a lot of text messages to me yesterday.
I hurried back to the room to get back to them.
It turned out that Lisa saw me when I was kidnapped by Patrick yesterday. By the time she chased me, Patrick had already driven the car away.
Later, she tried her best to call me. After that, she contacted Seth.
Seth found Patrick's contact information. At first, he called Patrick. But Patrick didn't pick up his call.
Unexpectedly, Patrick called Seth in the middle of the night yesterday and said, "Charlotte is fine. You don't have to intervene in her affairs in the future. I will take full responsibility for her."
Although Seth was unwilling to give up on me, knowing that I was fine, he didn't continue contacting me.
After saying this, Lisa asked me in a gossip tone, "What does Patrick mean? Did he find that he loved you after he almost lost you?"
I laughed at myself, "Does he loves me? How is it possible? He said that he would never fall in love with me in this life."
"No. I don't think so. For something like love, noboby can be sure about it."
Lisa didn't seem to be convinced by me.
I held the cell phone and shook my head, "He just regards me as his stuff. Even though he doesn't want me, hates me, and dislikes me, he won't allow me to refuse to be controlled by him."
After hearing this, Lisa seemed to think that what I said was reasonable. Then she complained, "Could it be that he thinks that he is the emperor?"
Hanging up the phone, I turned around and saw Patrick standing at the door of the bedroom.
I was stunned and wondered when he had been here. So I asked him, "Mr. Cowell, what's the matter?"
Hearing my address, Patrick couldn't help but frown slightly, "Mr. Cowell? Do you ever hear any woman call their husbands like this?"
"I don't see any man who helped his lover to hide her evil deeds and sent his wife to prison!"
