Chapter 476
You Hit My Heart
"But ..." Cecelia hesitated, she had heard more or less about Joyce.
She was surprised to hear that Joyce was pregnant with the Henderson
family's child. She was not blind, and she could see clearly what going
on between Joyce and Luther. If Luther wanted to marry Charlotte
instead because Joyce was pregnant, it didn't really make sense.
According to Luther's character, these were two different things, and he
would not mix them up. So, she could never figure it out.
However, Jacqueline had been so serious about the engagement this
time, and the matter must be approved by Luther.
Could it be that there was something she did not know?
She had lost her daughter for more than twenty years and only hoped
that her daughter would have a good marriage. It did not matter to her
even if her husband had no power or money, as long as he treated
Charlotte well. However, it was obvious that Luther did not love
Charlotte. An unhealthy marriage for the sake of the family and for profit
brought only lifelong pain. This was not what she wanted to see.
But there was nothing she could do to stop it, because Charlotte was
so preoccupied with the engagement now.
"Mom, no buts. I'm all set to get engaged, so don't worry about it. Come
and help me choose a dress, I like this one more than the others. What
do you think, are you satisfied? Shall we ask them to change it again?"
Charlotte pointed to a luxurious and complicated white dress gown and
asked.
"I think the design is a bit complicated, just pick a simple one. After all,
it's just an engagement, and you don't have to care about it too much.
It's not too late to choose carefully when it's time for the official
wedding." Cecelia suggested.
"So." Charlotte was a little disappointed, but followed Cecelia's advice
and chose a simple and elegant one.
She was reluctant, however. She had tried so hard to get engaged, and
she wanted to announce to the world that she was going to be Mrs.
Warner!
"Charlotte, I have to go out. Your grandfather is always running outside
lately, and I don't know where he goes all day, so I'm going to look for
him in case he has any accidents.â
Cecelia said.
"What exactly is Grandpa doing?" Charlotte asked perfunctorily, her
mind not at all on caring for her grandfather.
"It's the same thing that happened last time at Riveria Haze. He
insisted that he saw Mia and insisted on going to look for her. Charlotte,
when you have time, spend more time with grandpa.â Cecelia sighed.
"Okay, I know. Mom, don't worry, when I have the baby, we will spend
every day around grandpa, and he will not have the time to think about
it." Charlotte said sweetly.
"Hmm." Cecelia's furrowed brow finally lifted and she looked forward to
the birth of the baby.
âI'm leaving then." With that, Cecelia turned around and left the Heath
residence.
Charlotte's sweet face instantly turned gloomy.
This sinful seed would definitely not be born.
She had been calculating for a long time and must find a suitable time
to abort this sinful seed. Of course, she could not suffer this for nothing.
She would have to find a scapegoat, and she would make the most of
it.
