You Hit My Heart
Chapter 523

Jacqueline knew that Rodney had just passed away and that it wasinappropriate to mention the engagement to Cecelia now.

She had been so anxious to get Luther to agree to be engaged toCharlotte, and she didn't expect the Heath family to have such asudden accident at this critical moment. Now they would have to takecare of the funeral, and she had no idea whether the Heath familywould postpone the engagement.

Right now there were still more than ten days before the engagement.The invitations had all been sent out, and all the preparations had beenmade. At this time, if they just canceled the engagement, no matterwhat she said, such a hasty cancellation would affect the Warnerfamily's reputation, plus the Heath family was not going to announcethe death of Rodney. At that time, the outside world would certainly besuspicious. She didn't really know what to do this time.

Just now she had found the opportunity to speak, but Luther said hewanted to offer incense and interrupted her.

Right now, she finally found an opportunity.

Cecelia finished explaining to the adjutant beside her about the loadingand departure later.

She hurriedly approached and asked in a low voice, "Cecelia, how longwill it take for you to return from the Capital?"

Cecelia frowned lightly, "I really don't know. We have got something todeal with in the Capital. In addition, Rodney passed awayunexpectedly. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it without half a month.”Just as she expected! Jacqueline's eyelids jumped and she pokedaround again, "Cecelia, is Charlotte going back to the Capital withyou?"

At this point, Charlotte, who was on the sidelines, instantly understoodJacqueline's intention. Jacqueline was worried that the originallyplanned engagement would be postponed. In fact, she was alsoworried, only she could not replace a way to solve it.

Since Jacqueline spoke first, the engagement perhaps could go asplanned with a little help from her later on.

"Yeah, Charlotte is the only descendant of the Heath family, andnaturally has to go back for it." Cecelia returned.

For a few moments, she seemed to understand Jacqueline's meaning,and her bright eyes shone slightly, "Oh, I see, you are trying to askabout the engagement. Perhaps we can postpone it and wait for ..."Jacqueline hurriedly interrupted, "Cecelia, I know you must be very sadright now, and do not have the heart to talk about something like this. Ishould not have mentioned it. Can you not postpone the engagement?Of course, it would be ok if you cannot attend the ceremony if you don'thave the time, but can you let Charlotte come back first? We'll takecare of it all, and we won't bother you at all.”

"Cecelia, seriously, I've already sent out all the invitations. A suddenchange may cause speculations. Besides, it is not known when themilitary will announce the death of Mr. Heath. The Warner family can'tafford to postpone the engagement, and Charlotte's reputation is alsoat stake." Jacqueline had heard that in the past, when a senior militaryofficial passed away, the obituary was not published until a year or twolater to avoid unnecessary problems. Perhaps Mr. Heath's death willnot be announced for a while. In that case, she could not explain to thepublic why the engagement had been postponed.

"Yes, yes, Aunt Cecelia, Charlotte is pregnant and it's hard for her totravel that long. Perhaps she could stay here and I'll take care of her. I'llcome and stay with her every day.” Shelly interjected from thesidelines.

Jacqueline heard this, and quickly pull Shelly. Shelly had gone too far.No matter what, how could they not let Charlotte go back to the Capitalfor the funeral.

"But this ..." Cecelia was a little hesitant. After all, Charlotte was theonly bloodline of the Heath family.

The Heath family just had a funeral and immediately afterwards awedding. It looked just inappropriate. She originally wanted to talk toJacqueline about not getting engaged and simply waiting for the babyto be born before having a wedding.
