Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1016 The Price Carla Had To Pay

“He was partial towards Steven,”

Terence grunted with jealousy.

Carla furrowed her eyebrows. “What did he say?”

Terence stared into Carla’s eyes. “Grandpa wants me to let Steven stay with you. He wants me to accept him as your real husband.”

He paused for Carla’s response.

“He also said that Steven would make a compromise by not having a child with you. Don’t you think that’s bullshit?”

Carla’s mouth popped open in shock.

She was speechless.

When Carla did not answer, Terence held her arms, and shook her as if he were trying to wake her up from a trance.

“Have you agreed to it?”

“What?”

Carla was stunned. She never expected Terence to ask such a question. Did he not trust her?

“Tell me the truth. Are you going to claim Steven as your husband?” Terence frowned and stared at her face, trying to read her facial expression.

Carla wanted to laugh but she stifled her laughter and quickly became serious. “What will you do if I say yes?”

Terence’s handsome face turned gloomy and his frown deepened.

“In that case, I won’t stop you. I will let you do as you wish. I will not interfere in your life. You can live happily and have kids with him.”

Carla’s eyes widened when she saw that he was looking serious. She hadn’t thought about this at all.

She was aware of Arthur’s intentions but she always dismissed his opinions when he tried to impose them on her.

Carla didn’t pay much attention to it because she felt that her grandfather wouldn’t do anything without her consent.

“What about you?”

Carla asked.

“We would be divorced by then. You don’t have to worry about what I think.”

Terence arched his eyebrow and looked at her before he turned his heels and walked into his room.

“No, I was just kidding!” Carla said as she chased after him.

She quickly caught up with Terence and hugged him from behind.

“Honey, I was just kidding. I did not agree to it. I would not even think about it. I swear.”

Terence stopped and looked at Carla’s hands wrapped around his waist. He closed his eyes and sighed. “Carla, don’t blame me for being selfish. Love is not like other things. It cannot be shared,”

Terence said as he turned around to look at her.

“You are mine. You are my wife, the mother of my children. I will not share you with anyone else. You are mine, and mine alone.”

It was a man’s honor.

He wouldn’t let anyone trample on it.

“Honey, don’t worry. I would never think of something like that. I cannot live a life without you. If I ever hurt you or even think of betraying you, I will go to hell …”

Terence clamped her mouth with his hand immediately.

“Carla, that’s enough. Don’t curse yourself.” Terence frowned. He held her in his arms and pressed his forehead against hers.

Life is full of surprises. He did not know what awaited them. But he knew one thing for sure. His life would be beautiful and he would be able to face anything in the world if Carla was with him.

But if something happened to him

sit down. “I’m not forcing you to make a decision immediately. You can take your time. But remember, this is a prestigious position and most women are dying to become the matriarch.”

Carla shook her head.

“Grandma, you are just overthinking. The An Family has nothing against Yu Sea City. Terence has supported me all this time. He wants me to become the matriarch as much as I do. Why do you consider him as a threat?

Even if…” she cleared her throat as her voice became shaky. “Even if I divorce Terence, Sally will still be the granddaughter of the An Family. In that case, she would be the biggest threat to Yu Sea City.”

Carla took a deep breath and continued, “Grandma, please try to understand.

Trust me, I will handle the affairs of Yu Sea City without a hitch. I won’t let you down! If you don’t have faith in me, you can very well appoint someone else as the new matriarch.”

Eleanor was not mad at Carla. She nodded and took a sip of her tea.

“Carla, there is no room for negotiation. Although Sally is the heir of the An Family, everything will be fine as long as she obeys the clan. That’s how Yu Sea City has been functioning generation after generation.”

Carla clenched her fists.

“In that case Grandmother, just punish me!” she said resolutely, “I’m ready to endure anything, but I wouldn’t let anyone tear my family apart.”

“Don’t be so stubborn, my girl,”

Eleanor said as a smile tugged on the corners of her lips.

“Carla, I’m doing this for your own good. You will have a bright future if you get rid of Terence. Moreover, you have Steven. He loves you and supports you. Why do you want to be the daughter-in-law of the An Family when you can live a free life like me?

I’m not forcing you to answer right away. Take your own sweet time and get back to me.

An opportunity like this will not knock on your door twice. If you make up your mind, you will be able to get out of the east yard any time. You can also go in and out of Yu Sea City at will. No one will question you. Think about it.”
