Chapter 61 Somehow, when she that Luther and Charlotte had a child, though just slightly, she actually had an uncomfortable feeling at the bottom of her heart.
Luther stood there motionlessly for a while, his handseyebrows tightly furrowed.
The atmosphere in the room was tense and stagnant.
After a long time, he finally spoke, “I will be responsible.” Charlotte certainly knew when to stop and knew better than to continue. She got what she wanted todav and thus she hurriedly changed the subject. She smiled and said, “Oh, it’s all my fault to interrupt your work today.
Please don’t letkeep you any longer. You must all be so tired after a long day. The doctor toldto stay until six o'clock, and | can go hif there is nothing wrong. You guys really don’t have to stay with me.” “I'll stay with you,” Shelly said affectionately.
“Okay, you get srest.” Luther nodded.

Then, Luther and Joyce also left the 704th Army Hospital.
Charlotte then called the military service and had them arrange a car to pick her up at six.
On the car. Joyce didn’t say a word, looking at the lights flashing backward outside the window. Luther's face didn’t look good either.
When the car passed by a large supermarket, Joyce suddenly said, “Stop, | want to go in and buy something. Will you wait forin the car for a while?” Luther slammed on the brakes and looked at her in disbelief.
“I want to cook a meal for Grandma.” Joyce smiled blandly at him, “I'm afraid | won't have the chance later.” Stephanie had been very kind to her and really gave her a family. She knew very well that after this incident, Luther and Charlotte's marriage would definitely be brought to the table for negotiation, and she would inevitably have to show her hand to Stephanie.
And, as Luther had just said, he would take his responsibility for Charlotte. Luther could somehow feel the sadness in her words, and his mood went down with it.
“T’Il go with you.” When he said that, he parked the car in the open parking lot.
The two got out of the car. Joyce pushed a shopping trolley from the front, and the two walked into the supermarket together.
This was a membership-only supermarket, and the whole building was painted blue. Inside were rows of shelves that seemed to have no end, clean and neatly arranged. People chere for fresh and premium ingredients.
Luther had never set foot in a supermarket, and his superiority did not require him to think about the trivialities of life.
He watched Joyce pick up those ingredients carefully as she pushed the cart through.
This was what life should be like, it suddenly cto him, ordinary yet warm.
It felt just so good, he thought.

The high and mighty president, seemed somehow out of place in this supermarket, with his premium suit and amazing good look.
Luther nodded gently, “Hmm.” In the end, they simply strolled around and did not spend too much tthere.
Still, Joyce got what she wanted. Antarctic silver cod, black pork chops, thick-cut beef, green pepper, lemon, and svegetables.
Then they walked up to the checkout.
Luther habitually took out his gold card and was ready to pay.
Joyce gently pushed his hand back, and took out her phone to pay, “I'll do it, | want to treat Grandma to a meal.” Luther didn’t insist anymore, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
He was uncomfortable with what she said. It was as if they were going to becstrangers after this meal.
Finally, Joyce took the receipt and the two drove home.
His grandma was still sleeping. These days she had slept more and more in the afternoon and had less tawake.
