Chapter 41 Terence, Will You Marry My Sister
"Of course not. I don't know what style you favor. So I buy them all for you so that you can choose
whatever you like."
Terence didn't seem bothered at his declaration. He just smiled at Carla.
Carla turned to look at Terence who was waiting for her to pick. She then randomly picked one without
looking at the wardrobe. After grabbing the item of clothing, she immediately went to the washroom.
The bras were all her size. She had no doubt that any one of them would fit her so she did not bother to
choose.
She looked down to see which bra she had picked, and froze.
It was the one with the leopard print. "Today is not my lucky day," Carla muttered in annoyance.
After getting dressed, Carla walked out from the washroom.
She looked at herself in the mirror. The dress was simple but elegant. It fit her perfectly.
"Did it fit you?"
Terence asked. He looked her over as he was walking towards her.
"Yes, it does," Carla replied. Carla tested if the bra was too tight. Apparently, it was not.
She regretted checking the bra right after Terence asked her the question. Maybe he was talking about
the dress? Maybe he was asking her if the dress fit her instead of the bra?
Then a thought came to her head. How on earth could this man know her bra size?
"I assume you've already forgotten. I helped you get dressed once. That was when I kept your size in
mind. I don't have the superpower to measure your size with my bare eyes,"
Terence said with a smile. He knew exactly what Carla had been thinking. He circled around her and
said "Nice dress. But there is one problem. I can still see a little bit of the one beneath it."
"..."
It was her fault to have picked up a leopard print. It was so scandalous! But it was not very noticeable.
One could only see it if they criticized her whole outfit very carefully.
"That's all right. No need to change. It's not that noticeable anyway," Terence said as he grabbed Carla.
She was walking towards the wardrobe again to change her clothes.
"Let's go. We will only be wasting time if I let you spend all day changing clothes."
JA City is very large. They would be spending quite a lot of time on traffic. If they didn't have the whole
day, it would be hard to have any fun.
Carla had a quick breakfast. She took Sean with her and went out.
"Terence, you have such a big and cozy house! Are you some kind of billionaire?" They sat in a limo.
Sean couldn't help but guess Terence's true identity.
One had to be super rich to afford such a large sea-view villa.
Terence coughed and patted Sean on the cheek. "If I am a billionaire, then you shall be a billionaire's
brother-in-law," he said.
"Oh... That would be great!" Sean burst into laughter. He turned to Carla and noticed that she suddenly
got serious. The stare she gave him was menacing. "Terence, my sister and I are from the normal
class. What will happen in the future? Are you going to look down on her because she was once poor?"
This time, it was Carla who coughed. She pinched Sean on the arm and tried to get him to stop talking
nonsense.
If they based it on Sean's words, there was no way that she can get married. He was only a schoolboy
and she believed that he had no right to worry about her marriage.
"You didn't look down on me when your sister brought me to your house. You did not know me then. I
had nothing in my name and I had wounds all over my body. Yet, you took care of me and treated me
like I was part of your family. There is no chance in hell that I will ever look down on you two. I consider
you two as my family now,"
Terence said. He smiled at Sean and rubbed his hair gently. Carla was very lucky to have such a caring
little brother.
"That's great! Thank you, Terence. I consider you my family too. So are you really going to marry my
sister?"
Sean's unexpected question set Carla off. She gave Sean a hard slap on the head. "Shut your mouth,
Sean! One more word from you and I will send you back to BH City!"
Sean rubbed his head and watched Carla tearfully.
It took him all morning to come up with the idea.
Terence came from a very wealthy family. As her one and only brother, he was responsible for his
sister's well being. Whether or not Carla married a good man absolutely concerned him. He wanted her
to marry a man that could take care of her and make her happy.
Terence grabbed Carla's hands, trying to protect Sean. "Why did you hit him? Sean cares about you.
You are his only sister. Who else should he be worried about?"
Terence said to Carla. He then turned and grinned at Sean.
"Sean, don't worry. You will definitely be my brother-in-law!"
In other words, he basically said that he would be marrying Carla.
When Sean heard his words, he forgot about the pain on his head and laughed happily. He somehow
managed to ignore his sister's chilly stare.
It didn't matter if she stared at him. He believed that he was doing what was good for his sister.
Besides, his powerful brother-in-law could protect him!
"My dear brother-in-law, I am really glad to hear that!" Sean was still laughing, full of joy.
He expected that his sister would be getting married someday anyway. If she was getting married, then
she might as well marry a man that they both knew well. Furthermore, Terence came from a rich family.
It would surely mean that her burden would lessen.
Carla placed her hand on her forehead and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She would teach
Sean a lesson when they got back later.
"Since this is the first time you called me brother-in-law. I better give you something in return!"
Terence laughed as he searched his pocket. However, to his disappointment, his pocket was empty
except for his wallet. In order not to disappoint Sean, he decided to remove one black beaded bracelet
from his wrist. The bracelet was flexible so Sean would have no problem with wearing it.
"Take this. As long as you have it, I can find you and be there whenever you need me."
He helped Sean to put it on.
"Cool!" Sean took a closer look at the bracelet and said excitedly, "Thanks a lot, Terence!"
Terence smiled in satisfaction. One small bracelet didn't seem enough to repay Sean's enthusiasm and
gratitude. He then took out his wallet
and withdrew a luxury card.
"Sean, this is my secondary card. You can have it. It's yours now."
Sean was about to accept the card without hesitation when Carla cut him off. "Terence, he is only ten
years old. You are spoiling him with this."
She could allow Sean to take the bracelet. But a luxury credit card? No way.
"Relax. This is just a pass card, not a consumer credit card. With this card, Sean can go anywhere that
is marked with it. He will be safe and comfortable in those places,"
Terence explained to Carla. Although it was not a consumer credit card, it was still a free-of-charge
card. Sean can enjoy everything he wanted free of charge in Terence's family enterprise.
At least, the card could guarantee Sean a meal and provide him with shelter one day.
Carla's temper eased as she listened to Terence's explanation. She glanced at the card and said, "But
anyway, boys shouldn't stay in their comfort zone for too long. They should understand the hardship of
earning money. I can't bear it if Sean became too extravagant."
"Carla, since it is already decided that I will become his brother-in-law, I must insist on sharing the
responsibility of raising him with you. From my perspective, boys should be well-educated and
decently-fed."
Terence blinked at Sean, and went on, "Top-level education makes top-level kids. They will advance in
life as long as they dare to accept new things."
Carla was shocked to hear that from Terence. She groaned and said, "Sean and I don't have the
money to afford all those things. Besides, you are not his brother-in-law yet!"
Terence snorted and leaned back on his seat. He grinned cheekily. "Still running away from it, eh?
We were destined to meet that night. You can't run away from your destiny. I will never let you run away
either."
Carla gazed out of the window. All she wanted was to live a normal life with Sean, away from the
harshness of the world.
It was her ultimate wish. It was the wish of both of her parents for them as well.
However, Terence's life was destined to be chaotic.
What she was choosing was not only a husband, but also a way of life. If she acted impulsively, it could
result in a lifelong burden for her and Sean. She would be tied to him forever if she agreed to marry
him.
Suddenly, Terence's phone suddenly broke the silence as it rang.
