The box.
Charlotte looked at Luther with piteous eyes and asked in a sad voice, "Why do you do this to me? You have clearly promised that you would be responsible … Why, did you not even want the child … It's a life …"
Luther frowned, "I'm sorry, you saved me, I'm grateful. But it's better for you, and for the child, to make this choice now. Let's not keep the mistake any further."
"Mistake …" Charlotte seemed to have lost her soul and laughed bitterly, rubbing up against the small of her back, "You said his existence is a mistake. Do you know how much I love you?"
"I'll do everything I can to make it up to you. Think about it." There was no hint of warmth in his voice.
Having decided to cut off his ties with Charlotte, he wanted to make things clear and did not leave a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, there would only be more troubles.
Cecelia was on the sidelines and overheard Luther and Charlotte's conversation.
She walked up and helped Charlotte up from the sofa and said coldly to Luther, "Since you don't want to get married, we have nothing to talk about. Let's go first, and we won't attend the banquet tonight."
"Mom …" Charlotte was dragged away by Cecelia with resentment.
"Go." Cecelia was already slightly irritated, just why would Charlotte's personality be so far from hers.
Once she would rather die than make any compromises, why was her daughter weak?
She yanked Charlotte hard to the door of the box, and out of courtesy, she looked back to Jacqueline to say goodbye.
"We will be leaving first then!"
Jacqueline went up to see her off, and said, "Cecelia, don't be angry. We still have a chance!"
Immediately after, Jacqueline winked at Charlotte again.
Charlotte understood and nodded her head.
