Chapter 165 Remember That My Family Name Is Ji (Part One)
Dabbing quite hard on his wound, Carla shoved him back, gritting her teeth quite hard. "You wish!
Today you say that you want me to stay right next to you. But in the future, when you meet someone
else and fall for her eventually, you would throw me away and marry her instead. Is that what you were
so deep in thought about just now?
Terence, I am warning you right now. There's no way I would ever let something like that happen. From
this day forward, if you somehow manage to find the guts to get engaged, let alone marry any woman
other than me, I'll show you just how dangerous I can be when I get angry!"
Just as the old proverb went, 'Where there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to fear.' If he ever dared
to mess around with other women even just one more time, he would get a taste of her fury when she
fought back and both of them could get hurt in the process.
Needless to say, she had already experience having sexual intercourse with Terence, so she was no
longer a virgin after that sensuous night. After getting quite intimate with him and letting down her
defenses, Carla couldn't just let those kinds of things slip and watch as Terence dumped her and got
married to someone else.
Upon hearing Carla spout those words, Terence was a bit shocked that he seemed to have been frozen
for a moment. Then, he looked straight in her eyes, showing his beautiful and perfect pearly whites,
rested his hands on both sides of her waist and effortlessly lifted her up from the floor.
"Carla, please don't ever forget the words you said just now!" Terence exclaimed.
As she was hoisted up in the air, Carla peered down at Terence with a sullen look on her face. She was
a little confused why he would say that, so she asked him, "Terence, you're quite a peculiar man. Are
you aware of that? I can't fathom how you can still smile after all the things I've just told you."
The truth was that Carla was so sure that Terence would either be frightened or enraged after her
telling him that she would go head over heels crazy in love with him. That wasn't the case though,
because she could clearly see the look on his face as he lifted her up. Far from how she had expected
him to react, he was obviously quite pleased with what she said.
Without having to say anything else as a response, Terence looked as though he was the luckiest man
alive as he spun her around in circles a countless number of times.
Nathan then suddenly popped up by the door to remind them, "Mr. Terence, Miss Carla, dinner is
served."
Terence carefully let her down, stooped down a little, and merrily stole a kiss from her lips. With an
unyielding stare, he swore to her, "Carla, I love you and you alone. I will definitely marry you. I couldn't
bear to imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else other than you."
His sudden declaration only made Carla much more perplexed.
"Well, are you sure about that? Then please always keep in mind that my family name is Ji. From this
very moment, I don't ever want to hear you say that you will marry the daughter of the Hua family. I'd
prefer it if you would say you'd like to marry the daughter of the Ji family. Is that clear?"
stated Carla, looking a bit sheepish as she kept on poking his chest and acting as if she had been Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
giving a direct order as his superior.
Terence forced a Cheshire cat grin. Of course, he knew full well that her family name was Ji. It was only
that she didn't know her real family name was Hua.
"Yes, Carla. I heard that loud and clear."
Even though it was a bit awkward, Nathan, who was still at the door watching their discourse, urged
them again, "Mr. Terence?" Nathan wasn't really intending to hurry them, but it was just that Sean
wouldn't start eating until he saw his sister and Terence come downstairs into the dining hall.
With his eyes still totally fixated on Carla's face, Terence shifted his eyebrows and flatly replied, "Okay,
we'll be there right away. Thanks, Nathan."
Upon saying that, he grabbed a hold of her hand and said, "Carla, let's head downstairs and have
dinner. Sean is already waiting for us at the table. Surely, he must be starving and feeling a bit
impatient."
In that instant, Carla looked outside the window and realized it was already dark outside. So, she
immediately sprinted out of the bedroom.
Inside the dining hall, upon seeing Carla and Terence come downstairs, Sean complained right away,
looking quite displeased, "Carla, believe me when I say that I'm happy to see that you're in love with
Terence. But I think you shouldn't neglect me and forget that you still have to spend some time with me.
Because after all, I'm your brother.
When I got home from school, I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find you. And even after that, I still
couldn't find you at the dinner table. I don't like eating all by myself."
With one hand cupping his chin, Sean looked at them in discontent.
Carla had been so busy and preoccupied, so much so that even her own brother was having a hard
time trying to hang out with her.
"Okay, okay. I know and I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I swear I won't let this happen again," Carla playfully
apologized, walking towards Sean and smiling at him. After taking a seat right next to him, she quickly
grabbed a drumstick for him.
There was a time where whenever she heard Sean making a fuss like that, Carla wouldn't hesitate to
yell at him and tell him to keep his nose out of it.
But recently, since two days ago to be exact, she was barely able to spend any time catching up with
her brother, and it honestly made her feel guilty toward him.
Terence grabbed a seat across from Carla and Sean. Then, from out of the blue, he just glanced at
Sean and asked, "Sean, what do you usually do on your free time? Do you have any hobbies or
anything that you might be interested in?" If you want, I can go hire a tutor for you, and you can learn
lots of things from the teacher when you get back from school in the afternoon."
Pondering about it for a short while as he blissfully munched on the drumstick, Sean then opened his
mouth and blurted out, "I enjoy playing basketball a lot."
"Terence has a point. Sean, as a growing boy, you should take advantage of every opportunity you can
in order to learn more about a lot of different things. Mmm, then how about the piano? Would you like
to learn how to play the piano?" Carla enthusiastically suggested.
Back in the day, there weren't really many chances for Sean to take any interest in pastimes, because,
truth be told, they were really very poor and couldn't afford such things. But now that they were living
with Terence, they didn't have to worry anymore about how much it was going to cost. Therefore, Carla
thought it would be a great idea to nurture Sean's interests in all facets of leisure.
However, after pausing for a second, Sean simply shook his head and said, "I've never really liked
playing the piano or any other instrument. I like sports. If I'm going to learn something, I want it to be
about sports."
Terence picked up a drumstick for Carla and commented, "Well, Carla, we should respect Sean's
decision. It's up to him what he wants to do. Since that's what he prefers, then we'll hire a tutor in
sports for him."
