Chapter 448
You Hit My Heart
Jacqueline was trembling all over with excitement, and the day had
gone so unexpectedly well for her.
It was a surprise that Luther himself agreed to be engaged to Charlotte
first.
âI'l find a right time, as early as possible. It's almost four months and
Charlotte's belly is going to get bigger and bigger. We still have a lot to
prepare.â Jacqueline began to do her calculation, unable to hide the joy
on her face.
Charlotte finally stopped her dry heaving in the bathroom and washed
her face with warm water before walking out with Shelly.
When she saw how happy Jacqueline was, Charlotte guessed what
was going on, and her heart couldn't help but feel agitated. She didn't
expect she could survive such a great challenge, and now everything
was now in her favor.
"What's wrong? Mom, why are you so happy?" Only Shelly had no idea
what happened and asked stupidly.
Jacqueline stood up, pulled Shelly with her, and said to Luther, "We'll
go first, you should talk to Charlotte. You're getting engaged, and you
may want to discuss the details yourselves. We donât have much time
and I still have a lot of things to take care of."
"Engaged?! Engaged?" Shelly was confused. Engaged to what? By the
time she understood, she had already been dragged away by
Jacqueline.
"Let the two of them nurture their relationship a little more while we
hurry." Jacqueline nudged Shelly.
"Oh, what a surprise that my brother agreed to get engaged with
Charlotte! How wonderful." Shelly was so happy, but still, she asked
suspiciously, "Why don't they just get married? Charlotte's belly is
already big, how weird is it for them to get engaged first? When can
they get married after the engagement?"
âIt's better than not getting engaged. In the worst-case scenario, we
can still wait after Charlotte to have a baby and then ask them to have
a wedding ceremony. It's not something so uncommonly seen in big
families." Jacqueline waved her hand, still very excited.
Inside the VIP ward, Charlotte was left alone with Luther.
Engaged? Although there was a hint of doubt in her mind, she was still
excited. This was the closest one she got from a success in her
deliberate approach to Luther.
Finally, Luther was going to accept her.
From almost a total collapse to now an overturn, the ups and downs
made her so excited.
"Luther," she called out to him tentatively, her voice full of infinite
tenderness, "I'm sorry, I lost my manners just now. My stomach was
really upset and I couldn't control it."
Luther looked at his phone and did not answer.
âLuther, you would like to be engaged to me, and I ..." Charlotte was
abruptly interrupted by Luther when she just opened her mouth.
âI'm tired today, you go back first." Luther raised his head indifferently
and said faintly.
Charlotte felt his coldness and her heart thumped. Still, she reassured
herself that Luther now could only remember what happened three
months ago, and she had been lucky enough to be remembered, so
she couldn't expect too much. She couldn't expect him to fall in love
with her immediately. She still had time, and she could start all over.
"Okay, you get some rest. I won't bother you."
Charlotte had the good sense to leave the room.
Luther looked at her back as she disappeared behind the door,
propping one hand on his forehead, distracted. In fact, he agreed to be
engaged to Charlotte simply because of a strong sense of
responsibility, and since he did it, he would be responsible.
He had absolutely no feelings for Charlotte.
And he didn't feel even just slightly interested in her.
Moreover, he could not care less about his marriage. Whoever he was
going to marry, it just would make no difference to him, and it was just
like the decorative vase he bought for the Warner residence, he did not
need to have any feelings for it anyway.
