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 | 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.
Outside the door.
After Cecelia settled Charlotte down.
She walked over to Jacqueline and Shelly who were waiting outside.
Jacqueline looked a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Cecelia, we didn't help and to add to your troubles. I'm really sorry."
"How can | blyou? When something like this happens, no one can expect it. Things happen and we must take care of
ourselves." Cecelia said, "lI have discussed with Charlotte, her placenta is unstable, | want to send her to the military hospital to
rest for a week. We will not let her go back to the Capital."
"So, will it work? Charlotte stays, and | can take care of her instead. Please don't worry about that." Jacqueline hurriedly assured.
"lI am also relieved to have you guys take care of it. Forget it, the burial is only a ceremony after all, the living is more important.
These years, | don’t care about such things that much and have put aside many obsessions." Cecelia said quietly, "It's settled. The
engagement took place as scheduled; Ralph and | will not attend. You can say that there is an emergency in the military area, so

"Well, | understand. | understand. Your family is quite special, and you want to avoid unnecessary appearances in the public."
Jacqueline nodded her head.
"We will definitely attend the formal wedding in the future. After all, it's a once-a-lifetevent 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 | 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 cdownstairs together.
