"Let me think about it." Cecelia's long brow furrowed.

Charlotte had been with Cecelia for a while, and when she saw Cecelia's hesitant expression, she was afraid that Cecelia would reject Jacqueline.

She stepped forward and took Cecelia's arm before she could open her mouth, "Mom, can you come into the room with me alone for a moment, I want to talk to you alone." Cecelia glanced at Charlotte and nodded her head in agreement.

Charlotte looked back at Jacqueline with a wink, telling her that she would figure out what to do next.

Jacqueline was silent, her brow furrowed. Now she could only depend on Charlotte to convince Cecelia.

Charlotte and Cecelia both walked into the bedroom on the first floor, and Charlotte casually locks the door behind her.

Cecelia turned around and just spoke, "Charlotte, what do you have to say?"

To her surprise, Charlotte fell to her knees with a thud, and before she could say anything, her tears flowed first.

"Mom." Charlotte's voice was hoarse and choked.

"What's wrong, Charlotte, why are you kneeling? Get up quickly." Cecelia hurriedly squatted down and helped Charlotte up.

"Mom, I know I'm sorry to the Heath family, and I know I shouldn't have made this request. But mom, I really don't want to postpone my engagement. You know, it was so hard for me to be able to marry the man I love, and I have gone through a lot of ups and downs in between. Now that Luther has finally accepted me, I really ..." She gently bit her lower lip.

After a pause, she said with a low sob, "Mom, I didn't expect my grandfather to pass away suddenly. I am so sad, I miss him so much. Poor grandpa couldn't see me get married, but if he could be there, he would be happy for me. But now, what should I do? Mom, I am so embarrassed. I don't know how to choose, oooh ..."

Cecelia sighed, how could she not understand her daughter's mind?

"Charlotte, I can see what you're saying. Grandpa passed away, and no one could expect it. But according to the rules, it is not advisable to have a wedding within three months after a funeral. I also know that after three months, your belly could be very big. Whether it's an engagement or a wedding, it would not look good. Hey, let me think about it. This is something I have to discuss with your father as well." Charlotte heard that Cecelia wanted to discuss with Ralph, her heart screamed. Ralph was never someone who would care about her love or her reputation and for him, everything must be in the interests of the family first.

No, Cecelia must not ask Ralph. She must find a way to get Cecelia to say yes.

Her body went limp in Cecelia's arms, and with her usual trick, she sobbed with seemingly real emotion, "Mom, can you just pretend I didn't say what I just said. I'm the one who asked too much. I deserve to die for thinking this way. My grandfather was the closest person to me, and he left me not long after I finally got a chance to stay with him. I, I ... want to stay with grandpa ... I'm not getting engaged, oooh..." She cried and covered her stomach, pretending to be in pain as she slowly slid down Cecelia's side.

Cecelia bent her head and saw beads of sweat on Charlotte's forehead, her face pale, and she asked anxiously, "Charlotte, what's wrong with you?"

"I, I, my stomach hurts..." Charlotte's teeth chattered, "Mom, the baby, my baby..."
