You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther)

Chapter 240

Charlotte turned around and saw Rodney coming down the stairs and quickly called out sweetly,

"Grandpa. You've finally come out of your room. Are you hungry? I'll go prepare some food for you."

Rodney shook his head, "I don't want to eat."

He sighed and said melancholy, "I always think of Stephanie when I was young, and when I think of

Stephanie, I think of Mia again. They are all gone, and I am left alone in this world." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Cecelia heard Rodney mention Mia Cole and rushed forward to help him, "Why would you talk about

Mom again. We are all with you, how can you live alone? Dad, if you keep talking nonsense, I will really

get angry."

Mia Cole was Cecelia’s mother-in-law, that was, Rodney's original wife, and she was very close to

Ralph. Mia Cole herself had come from a wealthy family, and Rodney was also the son of a family of

power. The story of the two had always been legendary in the army.

Mia Cole and Stephanie were close friends when they were young. So the two families had always had

a good relationship, which led to the later marriage contract.

Originally, it was a marriage that could only exist in legendary. But unfortunately, when Mia Cole gave

birth to Ralph, she had a postpartum infection hemorrhage, and died, and then Rodney had never

married anyone else, raising Ralph all alone.

Cecelia had never seen what Mia Cole looked like, not even a single photo.

Rodney always shut himself up in his room alone, staring at the empty wall. She knew that Rodney was

an infatuated man who had missed Mia Cole all his life. Throughout the Heath resident, not a single

picture of Mia Cole could be found. It was said that once an elder of the Heath family wanted Rodney to

cheer up, destroyed all traces of Mia Cole, and did not even leave him a single picture, a little

remembrance, fearing that he would miss her whenever he saw anything about her.

This time, Stephanie's death, undoubtedly evoked Rodney's memories of the past.

Cecelia sighed and frowned sadly. She should have known that she shouldn't have let the old man go

to the mourning hall to offer his condolences.

But she could never hide this kind of thing from him.

Charlotte knew nothing about the Heath family's past and it was the first time she heard her

grandfather mention Mia Cole when she came to the Heath family.

She observed their expressions carefully, not daring to interrupt.

Rodney waved to Charlotte, gesturing for her to come over.

Charlotte walked up to the front of the room in a good manner and called sweetly, "Grandpa. Don't be

sad, I will be good to you. What do you want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen to make it for you."

Rodney shook his head, his voice clear and loud, "I'm not hungry. You, the Heath family's only

bloodline, I will not let you regret. About this Luther, when the funeral is over, I will go to bring him to

you in a few days. I'll make sure he could give us a clear explanation."

"Dad!" Cecelia stopped, "Stephanie just died and he has to be in mourning. Do you think it’s

appropriate?"

"What's wrong with that?! Charlotte's happiness is most important. Didn't you say that that’s a fake

marriage? If I ask him directly myself, can he even turn me down? Even if he has to mourn, he can get

engaged first, and then hold the wedding after the mourning period." Rodney got irritated, "He's the one

who's wrong in the first place. Now Charlotte’s belly is getting big, and he still wants to abandon her?"

"Dad, take it easy, be careful of your health." Cecelia knew she just could never stop the stubbornness

of the old man.

She didn't insist anymore, "I know, wait for me to ask about the situation first, and then you can step in,

okay?"
