Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Chapter 115

Cecelia was really stunned.

Even after all the things she had been through, at this moment, she still felt shocked.

In front of her, the girl who saved her today, was Joyce?

Joyce sat down and respectfully asked, "Auntie, what would you like to drink? Coffee? Or lemon juice?"

"How about lemon juice? You just had an asthma attack, so something refreshing is appropriate." Joyce directly made the choice for Cecelia.

"Good." Cecelia softly nodded her head. The girl in front of her was bold and decisive. She asked just politely but actually had a decision in mind, quite like her younger days.

The waiter quickly brought two glasses of lemonade, as well as a plate of exquisite afternoon tea snacks.

Out of courtesy, Joyce thought it would be better to have lemonade for herself as well.

Cecelia had come here today for Charlotte. She had never done anything like this in her life, to make things difficult for a commoner girl because of her status. However, she was too guilty, had owed Charlotte too much, and now she just wanted to do everything she could to make up for Charlotte.

However, the girl in front of her was so beautiful, kind, intelligent, calm, and sincere, and most importantly just saved herself.

She looked into Joyce's clear eyes and couldn't say any of the words that she had prepared in her mind before.

"Auntie, I think you have heard that Luther and I were only married under false pretenses. At that time, we just wanted to make Luther's grandmother Stephanie happy and without regrets. In fact, we were already prepared to go through a divorce, but we didn't expect that the marriage certificate was accidentally exposed. For various reasons, the divorce can only be delayed for a while longer." Joyce took the initiative to explain.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that Charlotte and Luther were in love at first. Although I didn't want to intervene, I'm sorry for the damage I did to Charlotte's body and mind." She bit her lip and said sincerely. Cecelia picked up the lemon juice, took a sip, and suddenly changed the subject, "How is Stephanie's health now?"

"Grandma's condition is not very good. Her cancer's already at the terminal stage. She relies on painkillers every day to maintain her life. She spends more time sleeping and less time awake." When it came to her grandmother, Joyce's mood dropped, and she forced a smile, "But the doctor says it's a miracle that she's lasted two more months. I'm also content that I can spend one more day with her now."

"I think that thanks to your company, Stephanie has been able to hold on. I should pay a visit to her someday. The Heath family and the Warner family have always been close friends, and Stephanie was a woman I respected and admired for her abilities when she was young. I never thought she would suffer from such an illness in her later years, which is really sad." Cecelia said with a real sigh. "Joyce, I see you have a good heart, so I guess you grew up in a loving family?" Cecelia asked with genuine curiosity. With her experience in reading people, this kind of sunny, kind, and innocent girl often grew up in a loving family. Charlotte, on the contrary, was careful and well-rounded. It was all her fault that she had lost her child when she was still so young and failed to give her child sufficient love from an early age.

Joyce froze, "Auntie, don't you know? Charlotte and I grew up in the same orphanage."

"What?" Cecelia was genuinely shocked and nearly spilled the lemonade in her hand, "You and Charlotte grew up in the same orphanage?"

"Hmm." Joyce nodded gently, "Charlotte didn't mention it?"

"No. She just said you went to the same college."

"Oh, that's right too." Joyce smiled faintly, confidently, and calmly.
