The Heath family stepped in to force Luther to marry her, which was really her last resort.
It was not easy so she must wait until it was absolutely necessary.
If Luther rejected her, there would really be nothing they could do.
Charlotte pretended to think about it and replied, "Thank you, auntie, I would very much like to marry into the Warner family, but I can't make the decision. I'll talk to my mother when she returns and then I'll report back to you, how's that?"
"Hmm." Jacqueline stood up, "That’s it then. I have things to do, I can't stay here for too long, we'll leave now."
Shelly followed and stood up, "Sorry, it's been a particularly eventful few days up and down. I'm going to go to the police headquarters with my mom and we'll talk more about it later when we have time."
"I understand, such a big thing happened at home. There must be a lot of things to deal with. It's been a hard time for you guys." Charlotte smiled and got up to see them off.
As they walked to the door, Ricky respectfully opened it for them.
Before leaving, Jacqueline seemed to suddenly remember something, turned her head and asked, "When you went to see Stephanie at noon that day, was there anything unusual about her?"
Charlotte's heart missed a beat, not knowing why Jacqueline suddenly asked this question, and she hurriedly replied, "There is really nothing unusual. I also talked to the police. After I left, grandma fell asleep and everything was just normal. And I don't know why she would suddenly …"
"Did Stephanie say anything special? She sent everyone away to see you alone after all." Jacqueline asked again, wondering why Stephanie had sent away even Mr. Arnold if there was nothing special to ask. This was not in line with Stephanie's shrewd personality and way of doing things.
"Just some family talk, nothing special really." Charlotte gently bit her lower lip.
"Oh. Nothing, I'm just asking. Don't think too much about it." Jacqueline gently patted Charlotte's arm, "Say hello to your mother for me."
"Ok, I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."
