Chapter 358

His words were loud and clear, shaking everyone in the room.

Jacqueline's lips quivered with anger, not expecting him to reject it

directly in front of the Heath family.

Charlotte's face was even paler, her eyes were moist and slightly red,

as if the tears would flow down any minute.

Cecelia frowned. In fact, she had already expected it, after the last

meeting with Joyce and Luther, she could see that Luther already fell in

love with Joyce, but today when she personally heard his heartless

refusal, inevitably she felt bad for her own daughter.

Rodney's face turned livid and he stomped the cane in his hand.

The "thump, thump, thump" sound hit straight to the heart.

“If you don't give me a decent reason today, I'll shoot you! What?

Charlotte of the Heath family is not good enough for you, how was she

not good enough for you! She saved your life and she's carrying your

baby!" Rodney was furious.

"Mr. Heath, I'm really sorry that I can't marry Charlotte. I'm grateful to

her for saving me, and I can repay her with whatever she wants, except

a marriage. As long as you make conditions, I will find a way to meet

them all.” Luther responded blandly.

“Luther, you're crazy, how can you say something like that?" Jacqueline

stepped forward to stop him and apologized awkwardly to the others,

“I'm sorry, he lost his temper today. This boy is most responsible since

he was young. Luther, you should take back what you just said, it's too

rude.”

Jacqueline desperately hinted at Luther.

He ignored it all.

"Mr. Heath, I'm sorry. It was an emergency that night, not under my

control, and it was a pure mistake to get Charlotte pregnant

accidentally. I admit that I once thought of taking the responsibility for

her, but at that time I didn't have anyone in mind, I had only a vague

concept of marriage, and I thought that I could marry just anyone, there

was no difference. Now it's different, I can't do that, I don't love her, and

such a marriage is meaningless. An irresponsible marriage, for her, is a

much greater harm. I hope this mistake can end here!"

Luther finished calmly.

Cecelia was silent. In fact, she thought just the same, only Charlotte

could never accept it.

Seeing her daughter suffering from love and falling into depression, she

couldn't bear it and so she agreed to come and talk about it.

She knew approximately, although Charlotte always refused to tell her,

that Luther was probably drugged or drunk and delirious at that time to

have sex with Charlotte, and the child was indeed an accident.

Happiness was a lifelong affair, and the two needed to share a long

journey together, not something a marriage license could guarantee.

An irresponsible marriage with no love at all would actually do greater

harm to Charlotte.

Rodney clutching the cane in his hand. Although he still looked angry,

he had been much calmer.

Luther's words reminded him of the love of his life, Mia, the woman he

had put on his heart all his life. He had loved her all his life, and his

family had forced him to marry again, but he never wavered, preferring

to hold on to the last picture of hers and spend the rest of his life.

He had experienced the same deep love and the pain of loss.

At this moment, he could actually somewhat understand Luther's

feelings.

As a man, what's the point of marrying her if you did not love the

woman?

Jacqueline looked around.

Rodney was silent, and Cecelia did not say a word either.

The atmosphere was stagnant.

She was in a hurry.

From Luther's point of view, once he was willing to take the

responsibility because he had no one in mind. And now, he loved

Joyce, so he was not willing to marry Charlotte?

How could this be? She would not allow it!

She would not allow Joyce to get above her head from now on!

Charlotte bit her lower lip and thought about what to do. Although she

had long understood that Luther and Joyce had been in love for a long

time, but she just could not accept it when Luther said he did not love

her.
