Chapter 57
Ralph immediately stood up and saluted, “Yes, Commander.”
Charlotte instantly became anxious and hastily waved her hands to explain, “Grandpa, it’s really not his fault, he had no choice.” It would only backfire if they wanted to use their power against an equally powerful man like Luther. There would be no winner in the end.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Cecelia could not wait to hold Ralph back to the couch and then turned back to Rodney, “Dad, what’s all this nonsense?”
She turned her head, looked softly at Charlotte, and asked, “You love him, don’t you?”
Charlotte was the best actress, not to mention that she really loved Luther herself. She thought about Cecelia’s love for her, and then Luther’s ambiguous attitude towards Joyce Two lines of tears slipped down her cheeks, “I’m sorry, I really love him.”
She sobbed, “He said he would take responsibility.”
“No crying!” Ralph got seriously irritated, and almost roared, “As a Heath, you must be strong and brave. How can you cry for such a man.”
Charlotte was so scared and she gave a shiver, and then she shrank straight into Cecelia’s arms.
Cecelia gave Ralph a real hard look, “Don’t scare the kid. Go away. I’ll take care of things at home.”
Ralph, with all the love and respect he had for his wife, stopped talking. He knew that Cecelia blamed him. After all, how would she lose her daughter if she hadn’t followed him back then? All these twenty years, his daughter did not grow up around him. It’s just that he really could not bear her delicate character. Though Cecelia looked mild and gentle, she could shoot just whatever she wanted from 800 meters. Back then, it was just her valiant and heroic personality that had made him fall for her.
Cecelia soothed Charlotte while asking solemnly, “Charlotte, does he love you?”
“I, I don’t know ..,” Charlotte replied in a whisper, not daring to look up at Ralph.
“Charlotte, you listen.” Cecelia gently hold up Charlotte’s chin, look into her teary eyes, and said seriously, “Whether he loves you or not, this child must be born. If you two love each other, and he marries you, then it would all be fine. If he doesn’t want to marry you, it would not be a big deal. The child will be a Heath then, and the Heath family would raise him.”
“You remember that the Heath family is a prestigious family, and don’t you give in at any time,” Ralph added. He looked at Cecelia appreciatively. This was the way the head of the family should be.
“Yeah, I know,” Charlotte replied immediately, wiping her tears haphazardly.
“Cheap for that kid! Hmph! If I were a few years younger, I would have chopped him up!” Rodney was indignant, blew his beard and glared, and stomped his cane again, “I’m going to my room to rest! You must take care of it, never let that kid go.”
“You take care, Grandpa.” Charlotte hurriedly got up and assisted Rodney to his room.
Cecelia said to Ralph, “Everyone is just learning about this now, and the Warner family must be discussing it. Give them a few days, I’ll go talk to Jacqueline in detail and do what I have to do.”
“Well, with pleasure, madam.”
“You’ve had a long trip back, but you’ll have to go back tonight, right? I’m here, you can go back to the Capital without no worries.”
“Yes, I still have important business to attend to in the capital and cannot stay long.”
Charlotte was finally relieved to hear that Ralph was leaving tonight and that she didn’t have to deal with everything carefully.
Just now she had a cold sweat on her back, and now it’s cool.
“I have brought some people with me. Charlotte, you pick one as your guard.”
Ralph took out his cell phone, dialed, and ordered, “Tell them all to come in.”
