Jacqueline was trembling all over with excitement, and the day had gone so unexpectedly well for her.
It was a surprise that Luther himself agreed to be engaged to Charlotte first.
"I'll find a right time, as early as possible. It's almost four months and Charlotte's belly is going to get bigger and bigger. We still have a lot to prepare." Jacqueline began to do her calculation, unable to hide the joy on her face.
Charlotte finally stopped her dry heaving in the bathroom and washed her face with warm water before walking out with Shelly.
When she saw how happy Jacqueline was, Charlotte guessed what was going on, and her heart couldn't help but feel agitated. She didn't expect she could survive such a great challenge, and now everything was now in her favor.
"What's wrong? Mom, why are you so happy?" Only Shelly had no idea what happened and asked stupidly.
Jacqueline stood up, pulled Shelly with her, and said to Luther, "We'll go first, you should talk to Charlotte. You're getting engaged, and you may want to discuss the details yourselves. We don’t have much time and I still have a lot of things to take care of."
"Engaged?! Engaged?" Shelly was confused. Engaged to what? By the time she understood, she had already been dragged away by Jacqueline.
"Let the two of them nurture their relationship a little more while we hurry." Jacqueline nudged Shelly.
"Oh, what a surprise that my brother agreed to get engaged with Charlotte! How wonderful." Shelly was so happy, but still, she asked suspiciously, "Why don't they just get married? Charlotte's belly is already big, how weird is it for them to get engaged first? When can they get married after the engagement?"
"It's better than not getting engaged. In the worst-case scenario, we can still wait after Charlotte to have a baby and then ask them to have a wedding ceremony. It's not something so uncommonly seen in big families." Jacqueline waved her hand, still very excited.
Inside the VIP ward, Charlotte was left alone with Luther.
Engaged? Although there was a hint of doubt in her mind, she was still excited. This was the closest one she got from a success in her deliberate approach to Luther.
