Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 174

The moment I took off Shelton's glasses, I suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little different.

His face looked angular with a protruding nose bridge and thin lips.

Because he was asleep, there wasn't any smile at the corner of his mouth. And he looked very indifferent.

When I looked at him quietly, he suddenly opened his eyes!

As soon as he looked at me, I felt chilling all over my body.

It was unknown whether it was my illusion. As soon as Shelton woke up, he was full of rage, showing that strangers shouldn't approach him.

I couldn't help but fall back.

I put his hands on the ground and sat on my buttocks.

"Crack!" There was a loud noise.

I thought for a second before I realized what the sound meant.

Shelton touched his face and frowned slightly

as he asked, "Did you see my glasses?"

I moved my butt a little and rummaged through the ground.

I first touched a metal arm. And I picked it up, feeling that it was very light.

Judging from the weight, there was only one arm. I rummaged through the ground again. And soon, I found the lens.

Shelton kept looking at me with a faint smile.

I was a little embarrassed. As I handed the broken lens and arm to him, I said awkwardly, "Sorry. Seeing that the glasses were about to slip down your nose, I planned to take them off for you."

Shelton lowered his head and checked his glasses to make sure that he couldn't use them anymore. Then he frowned slightly and said, "This pair of glasses had been with me for several years. I have been attached to it."

"I'm sorry." Hearing his words, I felt even more sorry. So I hurriedly said, "How about I prescribe you another similar one?"

"This pair of glasses was produced several years ago. It surely has been out of stock."

When Shelton spoke, his expression was serious, which I rarely saw.

I regretted it so much, thinking that I shouldn't have helped him take off his glasses. He had comforted me with good intentions. But I crushed his glasses under my buttock...

When I was struggling in my heart, Shelton suddenly placed his hand on the top of my head, rubbed my hair, and said, "If you go to prescribe one with me, I will forgive you."

"Huh?"

I looked up at him blankly.

"Don't you want to?"

"I do! I do!"

I nodded desperately.

Shelton smiled and stood up. Then he tidied up his clothes and said, "After I take back the shirt outside, we'll leave."

"I'll do it."

I did so to atone for my sins.

I ran outside hurriedly, took the shirt back, and packed it up carefully before handing it over to Shelton. He entered another room and hung his shirt there before coming out.

He took the car key and said, "Let's prescribe glasses."

Seeing that Shelton wanted to drive, I couldn't help but feel nervous, "Can you drive without glasses? Why don't we take a taxi?"

"Are you afraid?"

Shelton turned to look at me. And the look in his eyes showed that he kind of saw through me.

I nodded.

He reached out his hand to rub my hair and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm not shortsighted."

Only then did I get in his car with ease.

This house was on the edge of the outer ring road of City Y. It wasn't at the center of the city. Neither was it in the suburb. The price of a quiet house in such a place surely was high.

Even so, I didn't voice my confusion.

I saw Shelton driving in a familiar way in the downtown area.

Only then did I believe that he wasn't indeed shortsighted. So I couldn't help but ask, "If you aren't shortsighted, why do you have to wear glasses?"

Shelton focused on driving.

He didn't seem to hear my question.
