Charlotte opened her mouth, but could not say a word. She purposely transferred Ricky to the Capital, just to avoid unnecessary suspicion.
At the moment she didn’t need Ricky back.
"Well, that's settled. No need to discuss."
Cecelia was bold and decisive, and didn’t give Charlotte another chance to talk.
Charlotte swallowed her saliva and thought that it was actually not a big deal to have him back, and that they just needed to be more careful.
The most important thing right now was that the engagement could take place as scheduled.
"Okay." Charlotte's eyes were teary and she looked at Cecelia with pity.
"Hey." Cecelia sighed softly, "You stay in your room and lie still while I go tell them."
"Hmm." Charlotte nodded and looked at Cecelia's departing back, the curve of her lips pulled up in a smug smile.
She knew that if she pretended to have a stomachache, she would be able to get anything done, and that was a good move.
Cecelia, after all, valued her family the most.
Unfortunately, she could not see Rodney cremated with her own eyes. Only when she saw that with her own eyes, she could be completely at ease. However, he was dead, and what was it that she had to worry about. What else could a dead man do?
She lay at ease and even took out her cell phone and cozied up to play a little game.
"We will definitely attend the formal wedding in the future. After all, it's a once-a-lifetime event for our daughter. And we don't want to miss it and have regrets." Cecelia promises.
"Good," Jacqueline answered immediately.
"Charlotte is not feeling well just now and has fallen asleep, so I won't call her out to see you off." Cecelia nodded her head in greeting.
"Yeah, we'll go straight to the hospital to visit her later. Cecelia, thank you." Jacqueline expressed her gratitude.
"From now on, we're all a family. No need to thank me." Cecelia hooked her lips slightly.
Just in time, Luther and Ralph had finished talking. The two of them came downstairs together.
