Chapter 491
You Hit My Heart
"Hmph." Rodney's eagle eyes were round and furious, "You've
obviously known Joyce since she was a child, how could you not see
that Joyce looks a lot like Mia?!"
Charlotte did not give up and still retorted stiffly, âGrandpa, I am not
very sensitive to appearance by nature. Usually, I often can't recognize
people. What's more this old photo is quite blurred, and I didn't look
carefully just now. Now you say so, indeed, the person does look a little
like Joyce, but in general, they give me different feelings, Grandpa.â
âLies. You clearly had a shocked look on your face when I first woke
up.â Rodney wasn't that easy to be fooled, âDo you know something?
The other girl who was at the orphanage with you for the paternity test,
who was she?"
Charlotte heard it, her heart turned completely cold, Rodney had
suspected the paternity test result. The other girl? Wasn't it just Joyce?
Now she had completely no idea what to say next.
âI, 1,1..." she stammered, not really knowing how to answer.
"What, mute? You don't know who it was?" Rodney sneered. charlotte's
expression already gave him the answer, she must know something.
Otherwise she didn't need to panic or cover up.
Now he was even more certain that something was wrong with the
original paternity and that Charlotte knew about it.
"Are you really a child of the Heath family?"
Rodney was straightforward. He failed to hold back at this time, and
finally asked her the question. He knew that once he had asked, there
was no way to take it back. Once his suspicions were wrong, his abrupt
approach could be very hurtful and could cause great emotional
damage to Charlotte and even Cecelia.
He should have to wait patiently for the results of the new paternity test
and come back with real evidence to question Charlotte.
It's just that just now he couldn't stand Charlotte's obsequious, weepy,
exasperated mouth.
Charlotte was dying of despair and cried out, "Grandpa, how can you
say that? I am your own granddaughter! I am, and it's the result of a
paternity test. How can you suspect that I am not the child of the Heath
family just because of a blurry old photo? There are so many people
who look alike under the sky. You know, my mother has worked hard for
over 20 years to find me, how sad would she be if you think so?"
She cried with true emotions and tears, and if there were other people
present, they would also be moved by her acting.
Even Rodney's anger subsided a few notches.
Yes, just now he was impulsive. Even if he felt suspicious, he should go
first to seek confirmation, rather than say it out recklessly. And even if
they really got it wrong, Charlotte may not know it either.
They had after all spent a few months together happily, and he did not
want to hurt her just like that.
He took a deep breath and sighed, "It's just that, Charlotte, I'll go out
first. Just pretend you didn't hear what I just said.â
When he finished, he picked up his cane from the corner and leaned on
it, ready to walk out.
Charlotte froze and raised her hand to dry her tears, why did Rodney
suddenly stop talking?
And, as it was almost evening, where was he going to go now?
She felt very afraid inside her heart, mostly of the unknown. She had no
idea what Rodney was going to do, and she hurriedly went forward to
stop him intimately, "Grandpa, it's already time for dinner, where are
you going? Mom has already prepared dinner and put it in the kitchen,
don't you want to go down and eat? Or shall I bring it up for you?"
