You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 168

Charlotte wondered, "Grandma, what do you mean?"

"Unfortunately, your nature is nothing like Cecelia’s. I can see that you want to get my approval very much, and have taken the trouble to dress up today. You wear no makeup, but with all those luxurious pieces, it can be seen that you want to show your purity. You must be unwilling to give up the extravagant life you have. You are quite a complicated person after all. If the person sitting here today is Cecelia, she will certainly not dress up like you do. Simplicity won’t hide your nobility, and luxury can also be low-key." Stephanie hit the nail on the head to point that out and she looked a bit disdainful.

Different emotions showed up on Charlotte’s face. Her long diamond tassel earrings shook slightly, and at the moment hit her face. It was cold.

"I…" Talkative as she was, at this moment she actually did not know how to explain.

"Although you grew up in an orphanage and did not have a good education in manners. But it is all about principles. Now you have wealth and power, you should look at it all the more lightly and should not pay too much attention to them." Stephanie bowed her head and smiled. She could not see whether it was a cold smile or a sarcastic one.

"Grandma is right. I will pay attention."

Charlotte just had to admit it. She felt humiliated by Stephanie, who pointed out bluntly that she had come from a humble background and couldn't shed the pettiness in her. The unconcealed sharpness of her words made her lose face.

No matter how much she hated it, there was nothing that could be done.

In order to cover up her discomfort, she hurriedly made another cup of tea and respectfully served it to Stephanie.

It's just that, in order to successfully marry into the Warner family, there was nothing wrong with being embarrassed by Stephanie, and she was prepared for it before.

"You love Luther very much?" asked Stephanie, picking up her cup of tea and taking a sip.

"Grandma, I really love him. Grandma, please allow us to get married." Charlotte replied sincerely.

This was true. She wanted to marry Luther. She could not wait and she was almost crazy about it.

Stephanie glanced at the sequined high heels Charlotte was wearing on her feet and frowned.

She shook her head, dissatisfied, "I don't think so. If you really love him, you should take extra care of the child in your belly. Such a high heel is not quite appropriate."

Charlotte was shocked. She never thought about that after all the long time.

Because it was not Luther’s child in the first place, she didn't even care. She should have worn flat shoes instead.

At the moment Stephanie's dark eyes were glaring at her sternly.

The sophisticated black eyes were just like an endless void. Being stared at by such eyes, Charlotte only felt a chill down her spine, and sweats were all over her back.

She did not know what to say for a while, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I … I was too nervous today. I'm afraid you're not satisfied with me, so … sorry, I neglected it. I didn't notice, and I really won't do such a thing in the future."

At this point, Charlotte really felt Stephanie's difficult to deal with. The prohibitive majesty of hers really made her like an empress. She felt that she was full of loopholes today, and in front of Stephanie she was getting nowhere to hide.

"Heh. You don't have to be nervous, I was just saying that." Stephanie straightened her posture and asked again, "I heard that you and Joyce are the same age?"

"Yes." Charlotte replied. She didn't understand why Stephanie always had to bring up Joyce.

"Oh, it's quite a coincidence that you both grew up in the same orphanage, are the same age, and are both with Luther … I learned that for the first time today." Stephanie let out a low laugh. She suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong…
