Chapter 1048

Cecelia came out of the kitchen, saw Charlotte's back shaking slightly,

and went forward with concern, "Charlotte, what's wrong with you?"

"It's a little cold.” Charlotte turned around with a full smile back on her

face.

"Oh, I'll go up and get you a shawl. Should I turn the heater on in the

house?" Cecelia said with concern, "It's a very special time, and you

mustn't catch a cold.”

"Mom, it's rare for you to come back and keep me company, and I'm so

bored by myself. Do you have to go to the Cole residence? Can't you

send someone to fetch an invitation?" Charlotte tugged on Cecelia's

arm and pouted.

In fact, today Cecelia suddenly mentioned something about going to

the Cole residence.

She really wanted to stop it.

Four years had passed and she had forgotten about it. Today, she

remembered again that she pushed Rodney down the stairs.

Rodney had kept a photo of Mia privately.

She had seen the photo, and Joyce and Mia looked just the same. Just

a look at the photo would make anyone think Joyce might be related to

the Cole family.

Although, she killed Rodney and also destroyed the photo...

Although, she heard that no one in the the Heath family had seen what

Mia looked like, since they had destroyed everything of hers since they

were worried Rodney might keep thinking about her.

Four years had passed and no one knew that she killed Rodney, not

even Otis.

However, every time the old story was brought up, it always evoked a

deep-seated fear in her.

She was really scared inside. Who could know if they still kept Mia's

photos in the Cole residence? What if there really was one?

What if Cecelia went to the Cole residence today and found

something?

And then there's the dreadful Karl, who favored Joyce in every way.

He turned out to be Michal's son.

Although Karl had never met Mia, or even heard of it, he was a Cole,

after all, and he knew Joyce so much.

If Karl saw Mia's photo one day, he would be able to recognize that

Joyce looked very similar to Mia, and then with Karl's reasoning, it

would be easy for him to think Joyce might be the real daughter of the

Heath family!

This was simply a huge hidden danger for her.

It instantly made her fidgety.

Four years, she thought she could finally have peace of mind, but why

the whole thing was brought up again at this time?

Now she just wanted to stop Cecelia from going to the Cole residence.

Even if there wasn't really any risk, she did not want to take.

Cecelia did not know what Charlotte had in mind.

She reached out and touched Charlotte's soft head, her voice extra

gentle, "I'm sorry. I've been so busy lately, and I haven't had much time

with you."

Charlotte leaned her head in the crook of Cecelia's arm, "I want to be

with you."

"Silly child, mommy will be here for you every day." Cecelia smiled, "But

I really need to go out this afternoon. Charlotte, I want to fix the

relationship between the Cole family and the Heath family. Today is a

good day, and I need to visit Michal.”

"Good girl, I'll stay with you tonight and do whatever you want with

you." Cecelia gently patted Charlotte's arm.

She would always satisfy her daughter's attachment.

After all, her daughter grew up in an orphanage, and she had failed to

provide her with love and care, and now that her daughter was finally

back with her, she just wanted to do her best to make up for the 20

years to her.

"Mom." Charlotte was still not going to give up. She tugged on

Cecelia's arm and wouldn't let go.

Cecelia gently brushed her hand away, a smile on her lips, "I'l go get

your shawl. You're about to be a mother yourself, a grown-up."
