Chapter 240

Charlotte turned around and saw Rodney coming down the stairs and

quickly called out sweetly, "Grandpa. You've finally come out of your

room. Are you hungry? I'll go prepare some food for you."

Rodney shook his head, "I don't want to eat."

He sighed and said melancholy, "I always think of Stephanie when I

was young, and when I think of Stephanie, I think of Mia again. They

are all gone, and I am left alone in this world."

Cecelia heard Rodney mention Mia Cole and rushed forward to help

him, "Why would you talk about Mom again. We are all with you, how

can you live alone? Dad, if you keep talking nonsense, I will really get

angry."

Mia Cole was Cecelia's mother-in-law, that was, Rodney's original wife,

and she was very close to Ralph. Mia Cole herself had come from a

wealthy family, and Rodney was also the son of a family of power. The

story of the two had always been legendary in the army.

Mia Cole and Stephanie were close friends when they were young. So

the two families had always had a good relationship, which led to the

later marriage contract.

Originally, it was a marriage that could only exist in legendary. But

unfortunately, when Mia Cole gave birth to Ralph, she had a

postpartum infection hemorrhage, and died, and then Rodney had

never married anyone else, raising Ralph all alone.

Cecelia had never seen what Mia Cole looked like, not even a single

photo.

Rodney always shut himself up in his room alone, staring at the empty

wall. She knew that Rodney was an infatuated man who had missed

Mia Cole all his life. Throughout the Heath resident, not a single picture

of Mia Cole could be found. It was said that once an elder of the Heath

family wanted Rodney to cheer up, destroyed all traces of Mia Cole,

and did not even leave him a single picture, a little remembrance,

fearing that he would miss her whenever he saw anything about her.

This time, Stephanie's death, undoubtedly evoked Rodney's memories

of the past.

Cecelia sighed and frowned sadly. She should have known that she

shouldn't have let the old man go to the mourning hall to offer his

condolences.

But she could never hide this kind of thing from him.

Charlotte knew nothing about the Heath family's past and it was the

first ime she heard her grandfather mention Mia Cole when she came

to the Heath family.

She observed their expressions carefully, not daring to interrupt.

Rodney waved to Charlotte, gesturing for her to come over.

Charlotte walked up to the front of the room in a good manner and

called sweetly, "Grandpa. Don't be sad, I will be good to you. What do

you want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen to make it for you."

Rodney shook his head, his voice clear and loud, "I'm not hungry. You,

the Heath family's only bloodline, I will not let you regret. About this

Luther, when the funeral is over, I will go to bring him to you in a few

days. I'll make sure he could give us a clear explanation.”

"Dad!" Cecelia stopped, "Stephanie just died and he has to be in

mourning. Do you think it's appropriate?"

"What's wrong with that?! Charlotte's happiness is most important.

Didn't you say that that's a fake marriage? If I ask him directly myself,

can he even turn me down? Even if he has to mourn, he can get

engaged first, and then hold the wedding after the mourning period.”

Rodney got irritated, "He's the one who's wrong in the first place. Now

Charlotte's belly is getting big, and he still wants to abandon her?"

"Dad, take it easy, be careful of your health.” Cecelia knew she just

could never stop the stubbornness of the old man.

She didn't insist anymore, “I know, wait for me to ask about the

situation first, and then you can step in, okay?"
