"But ..." Cecelia hesitated, she had heard more or less about Joyce.
She was surprised to hear that Joyce was pregnant with the Henderson family's child. She was not blind, and she could see clearly what going on between Joyce and Luther. If Luther wanted to marry Charlotte instead because Joyce was pregnant, it didn’t really make sense. According to Luther's character, these were two different things, and he would not mix them up. So, she could never figure it out.
However, Jacqueline had been so serious about the engagement this time, and the matter must be approved by Luther.
Could it be that there was something she did not know?
She had lost her daughter for more than twenty years and only hoped that her daughter would have a good marriage. It did not matter to her even if her husband had no power or money, as long as he treated Charlotte well. However, it was obvious that Luther did not love Charlotte. An unhealthy marriage for the sake of the family and for profit brought only lifelong pain. This was not what she wanted to see.
But there was nothing she could do to stop it, because Charlotte was so preoccupied with the engagement now.
"Mom, no buts. I'm all set to get engaged, so don't worry about it. Come and help me choose a dress, I like this one more than the others. What do you think, are you satisfied? Shall we ask them to change it again?" Charlotte pointed to a luxurious and complicated white dress gown and asked.
"I think the design is a bit complicated, just pick a simple one. After all, it's just an engagement, and you don't have to care about it too much. It's not too late to choose carefully when it's time for the official wedding." Cecelia suggested.
"So." Charlotte was a little disappointed, but followed Cecelia's advice and chose a simple and elegant one.
She was reluctant, however. She had tried so hard to get engaged, and she wanted to announce to the world that she was going to be Mrs. Warner!
