Female Novel
Chapter 523
Jacqueline knew that Rodney had just passed away and that it was inappropriate to mention the
engagement to Cecelia now.
She had been so anxious to get Luther to agree to be engaged to Charlotte, and she didn't expect the
Heath family to have such a sudden accident at this critical moment. Now they would have to take care
of the funeral, and she had no idea whether the Heath family would postpone the engagement.
Right now there were still more than ten days before the engagement. The invitations had all been sent
out, and all the preparations had been made. At this time, if they just canceled the engagement, no
matter what she said, such a hasty cancellation would affect the Warner family's reputation, plus the
Heath family was not going to announce the death of Rodney. At that time, the outside world would
certainly be suspicious. She didn’t really know what to do this time.
Just now she had found the opportunity to speak, but Luther said he wanted to offer incense and
interrupted her.
Right now, she finally found an opportunity.
Cecelia finished explaining to the adjutant beside her about the loading and departure later.
She hurriedly approached and asked in a low voice, "Cecelia, how long will it take for you to return from
the Capital?"
Cecelia frowned lightly, "I really don't know. We have got something to deal with in the Capital. In
addition, Rodney passed away unexpectedly. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it without half a month."
Just as she expected! Jacqueline's eyelids jumped and she poked around again, "Cecelia, is Charlotte
going back to the Capital with you?"
At this point, Charlotte, who was on the sidelines, instantly understood Jacqueline's intention.
Jacqueline was worried that the originally planned engagement would be postponed. In fact, she was
also worried, only she could not find a way to solve it.
Since Jacqueline spoke first, the engagement perhaps could go as planned with a little help from her
later on.
"Yeah, Charlotte is the only descendant of the Heath family, and naturally has to go back for it." Cecelia
returned.novelbin
For a few moments, she seemed to understand Jacqueline's meaning, and her bright eyes shone
slightly, "Oh, I see, you are trying to ask about the engagement. Perhaps we can postpone it and wait
for …"
Jacqueline hurriedly interrupted, "Cecelia, I know you must be very sad right now, and do not have the
heart to talk about something like this. I should not have mentioned it. Can you not postpone the
engagement? Of course, it would be ok if you cannot attend the ceremony if you don’t have the time,
but can you let Charlotte come back first? We'll take care of it all, and we won't bother you at all."
"Cecelia, seriously, I've already sent out all the invitations. A sudden change may cause speculations.
Besides, it is not known when the military will announce the death of Mr. Heath. The Warner family
can't afford to postpone the engagement, and Charlotte's reputation is also at stake." Jacqueline had
heard that in the past, when a senior military official passed away, the obituary was not published until
a year or two later to avoid unnecessary problems. Perhaps Mr. Heath's death will not be announced
for a while. In that case, she could not explain to the public why the engagement had been postponed.
"Yes, yes, Aunt Cecelia, Charlotte is pregnant and it's hard for her to travel that long. Perhaps she
could stay here and I'll take care of her. I'll come and stay with her every day." Shelly interjected from
the sidelines.
Jacqueline heard this, and quickly pull Shelly. Shelly had gone too far. No matter what, how could they
not let Charlotte go back to the Capital for the funeral.
"But this ..." Cecelia was a little hesitant. After all, Charlotte was the only bloodline of the Heath family.
The Heath family just had a funeral and immediately afterwards a wedding. It looked just inappropriate.
She originally wanted to talk to Jacqueline about not getting engaged and simply waiting for the baby to
be born before having a wedding.
