Chapter 15
Hearing the staff's words, Patrick said straightforwardly, "We deliberately came here on a bad day."
The staff showed a strange expression, looked at me, and didn't say anything more. He got a marriage certificate for us directly.
When I took the red booklet in my hand and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with Patrick, Patrick suddenly turned his head and said in an unusually cold tone, "Charlotte Archer, since you have tried your best to marry me, I naturally won't let you down."
He emphasized that he wouldn't let me down.
Although it was in summer days, there was a layer of goosebumps on my body.
When I was about to explain, Patrick's driver came from a distance with a bottle of water and a small medicine box in his hand.
Patrick gave him a wink. And the driver handed me the water and the medicine box.
I took the medicine box over and looked at the name on it, feeling a little confused. But when I saw the following lines of small-sized words, I felt my heart tighten.
At the bottom, it indicated that it was emergency contracpetive pills within 24 hours.
I didn't say anything and took the medicine obediently.
Seeing me taking the medicine, Patrick said coldly, "In the future, I will watch you take medicine. So don't expect to be pregnant with a b*stard and then blame it on me!"
After he said that, he threw a key to me and got in the car as he went away.
I stood where I was and looked at the car that gradually disappeared in my sight, feeling bitter in my heart.
I thought of the fact that I had married in the name of Caroline at the most important wedding in my life. Now I got a marriage certificate with Patrick, only to be treated by him as if I were an enemy of his.
I squatted in the corner of the flower bed at the door, biting my lips and staying there for a while.
After that, I got up and continued to work.
I had to go on with my life.
(To be continued)
In the evening, I didn't go back to the wedding room. Instead, I went back to Lisa's house.
Lisa happened to be at home.
She saw that I was not in a good mood. So she pestered me for the reason.
After her repeated questioning, I finally told her the truth.
Hearing my words, she held her chin with one hand and muttered, "Speaking of you grandmother, is she doing this for your own good or setting you up?"
"She's doing me good."
I had a positive answer for that.
I believed that even if everyone was not doing it for my own good, she must be doing it for my good.
She thought that Patrick was good. So she wanted me to marry him.
Lisa nodded, put her arms around my shoulders, and said, "Well, after all, it's your wedding day today. Let's go. I'll take you to have some good food."
Although I couldn't bear to spend money, I couldn't stop her.
Finally, we chose a hotpot restaurant.
There were not many people eating hot pot in the summer days. When we went in, there were only a few people inside.
We ate hot pot and drank beer at the same
time.
After three rounds of drinking, I didn't seem to be in a bad mood anymore. We went to sing songs then.
As the time weny by, we kept having fun till past 12 p.m.
The weather was not hot. So we just planned to walk home.
Unexpectedly, soon after we got out of the KTV, we saw a black car parked on the side of the road not far away.
I could tell at a glance that it was Patrick's car.
Since his car was parked here, he should be nearby.
I looked around. Soon, I saw Patrick walking out with a woman in his arms from a bar not far away.
I knew at a glance that it was Caroline in his arms...
Her face was red. And she seemed to have drunk a lot of wine.
When I saw the two of them, I was sobered up a lot. And I couldn't move a step at all.
It was ironic. The first time I saw my husband after we got a marriage certificate, he was holding another woman in his arms.
When I almost gave up doing something, Lisa, who was beside me, suddenly rushed up, pushed Patrick, and scolded, "Patrick Cowell, how come you are so shameless? How can you leave your wife alone and hug another woman?"
