You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 37

Martha felt like she was a complete failure. She can not drive Joyce away 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 the Heath 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 the afternoon." The two orderlies saluted again.

"Good." Charlotte smiled and nodded.

Since they found their daughter, the Heath family has purchased a mansion 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 with Cecelia 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 fact she had her own agenda. People coming and going in front of R&S headquarters, she took the opportunity to make it public that she and Luther were engaged. Her second goal was to make Luther feel that she was defending Joyce, and had close relationship with Joyce. That would 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 it impossible 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 really delightful.

She took Joyce's arm and said affectionately, "Come on, let's go in together. What a coincidence, we can intern together." With the R&S's pass Luther had given her earlier, she can easily enter the project team.
