You Hit My Heart -
Chapter 37
Martha felt like she was a complete failure. She can not drive Joyceaway while there was another Charlotte.
She can't afford to mess with the Heath family.
If the Warner family can easily make people go bankrupt, then theHeath family can make people disappear from the earth in minutes.She left in a huff.
Charlotte gestured to the two orderlies, "You can go back."
"Yes, the general has ordered us to pick you up on time in theafternoon.” The two orderlies saluted again.
"Good." Charlotte smiled and nodded.
Since they found their daughter, the Heath family has purchased amansion in Khebury, a quiet place in the center of town. The father,General Ralph, was on military duty in the Capital. The grandfather,Commander-in-Chief Rodney, was old enough to stay in Khebury withCecelia to enjoy her family life.
After the military vehicle drove away, Charlotte, still holding Joyce,asked with concern, "Are you all right?"
She appeared to be defending Joyce and repelling Martha, but in factshe had her own agenda. People coming and going in front of R&Sheadquarters, she took the opportunity to make it public that she andLuther were engaged. Her second goal was to make Luther feel thatshe was defending Joyce, and had close relationship with Joyce. Thatwould make him feel better about himself. Two birds with one stone.Why not go ahead with it?
Joyce shook her head, and felt thankful, "It's okay, she can't hurt me."Charlotte called softly to Luther again, "Luther?"
Luther turned his head to look at her.
“Luther, you're not mad at me for saying that just now, are you?"Charlotte asked cautiously, with her eyes wide open and sense of pity.Luther's dark eyes were as unfathomable as the ocean, making itimpossible to see what he was thinking.
He said with no expression, "It's okay, you go in first."
When Charlotte saw that Luther was not displeased, she was reallydelightful.
She took Joyce's arm and said affectionately, “Come on, let's go intogether. What a coincidence, we can intern together.” With the R&S'spass Luther had given her earlier, she can easily enter the projectteam.
Joyce didn't really like holding arms with someone, but she was tooembarrassed to say no. Charlotte took the initiative to show heraffection, and she had no reason to reject it.
Although growing up together in the orphanage, she didn't seem thatclose to Charlotte either.
Maybe, they just had the two different personalities.
Behind them.
Luther gazed at Charlotte's back, and he did not expect she wouldstand up for Joyce.
Although she used the excuse of an existing marriage contract with himin a hurry, what she said was also the truth. There was nothing wrong.The fact that Charlotte was the daughter of the Heath family wassomething he has difficulty in accepting and digesting. It was hard toimagine that she, who looked weak and gentle, was a general'sdaughter?
It always felt like there was a mismatch somewhere.
If Charlotte's soft and compassionate look was inherited from Cecelia?It was also clearly not true. Although Cecelia looked like a gentle andvirtuous woman, she was a little-known sniper who was known forkilling terrorist leaders from 800 meters away.
Only later, because of the loss of his daughter, she was too sad andthus retired from it.
Speaking of sniping, Luther suddenly remembered at that night Joycehandsomely shot the chasers. That stance was in his mind over andover again replayed, lingering.
He had to admit that he was blown away.
Wasn't a beautiful, sexy, dangerous and deadly woman just like adeadly poison?
Joyce was more of a general's daughter than Charlotte.
She had more of that kind of demeanor.
Only unfortunately, it was not.
Luther's mind drifted away, damn it, what was he thinking. How couldhe associate Joyce with the Heath family.
He must be demonically insane.0l0
