You Hit My Heart
Chapter 521

"Before that, we should offer incense to Mr. Heath." Luther reminded.After they entered the door, they kept talking and didn't do anything.Jacqueline reacted and hastily apologized, “I'm sorry, Cecelia. Look atme, I forgot all my manners.”

She took out an envelope from her bag, "Please accept it." Inside theenvelope was a really thick stack of money.

Cecelia took the envelope and did not refuse. This was just the rule ofhigh society courtesy, refusing it would make the whole thing awkward.Usually, they should just accept it first, and then replace a betteropportunity to return it in some other way.

Cecelia beckoned, handed the envelope to an adjutant, and gesturedto the adjutant that they should offer incense.

Immediately afterwards, another adjutant handed over three incensesticks.

Jacqueline received the incense first, she went to the casket, bowedthree times respectfully and inserted the incense into the censer.

The adjutant then handed Luther three more incense sticks.

Luther stepped forward and approached the casket, bowed three timesrespectfully, and inserted the incense into the censer.

Charlotte stood to the side and stole a glance at Luther.

Today Luther wore a pure black suit, wearing a narrow black tie. Shehad never seen him in all black before, silent and majestic. The black ofhis suit set off the details of his chiseled face, exquisite archedeyebrows, straight nose and sexy thin lips. He was just so handsome.She couldn't help but swallow. Although Rodney's casket was besideher, she was fearless. Anyway, the old thing would be sent back to theGeneral Military District tomorrow for burial, and she could feel relievedfinally.

Such a superb man would soon belong to her, and she was about toget overwhelmed by the excitement whenever she thought about it.She subconsciously leaned over to Luther's side, her eyes filled withtears, and said to him pitifully, “Thank you for coming. Grandpa wouldbe so relieved if he could know that."

"Hmm. Please don't be so sad.” Luther gave Charlotte a faint sweepingglance.

From the moment he entered, he saw her. He didn’t know why, but hertear-stained, pitiful face made him feel repulsed. It felt repulsive in hisheart, but obviously Rodney passed away and she was justifiably sad.But why did he not like the way she looked? The Charlotte heremembered was also soft and helpless, so why did he replace itunbearable now?

He smoothed out his breath and deliberately kept his distance fromCharlotte.

Looking around, he asked Cecelia, "Cecelia, the general should beback too?"

“Yes, he is on the second floor. Sorry, I had a lot of things to take careof at home and couldn't come down to receive you personally.” Ceceliasaid politely to Luther.

"Cecelia, I'll go up and replace the general then." He nodded to Cecelia. Atthe same time, he looked to Jacqueline, "You talk first."

Jacqueline hastily responded, "Good. You go ahead and bring mygreetings to General Heath."

Luther walked upstairs alone. He had not yet met General Ralph, andusually only heard of his great name. As the biggest entrepreneur of thecountry, in fact, he hardly had any connections with the political circles,let alone the military.

He knew that Jacqueline's efforts to set up his marriage to Charlottewere also an attempt to make up for such a shortcoming of the Warnerfamily.

Walking to the parlor on the second floor, he could see Ralph'ssomehow sad figure sitting on the couch at the end, with a few orderliesstanding around.

When the orderly saw Luther approaching with his impressiveapparatus, he knew that he must not have some quite extraordinarybackground.

They immediately stood on either side to make way for Luther.

Ralph wore a formal military uniform in green, with several shining starsaround the golden olive branches on both shoulders, and war medalson his chest.
