Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 297 You Are Really Generous! (Part One)

Feeling a bit anxious, Carla asked Terence, "Is Rhys going to end up being the same as Marcus?"

Carla was a little worried that Rhys would be willing to go through lengths just to get a hold of Terence's

position.

Taking a seat on the sofa and crossing his legs, Terence went ahead and told her, "No, I don't think so.

He is a clever businessman. In fact, he is perceptive enough to have a solid grasp of the present

situation."

"Do you really think it would be okay to attend the dinner party tomorrow evening?" Carla asked him

with a sullen look on her face.

"Of course. Why wouldn't it be?"

Terence replied, smiling at her as he swayed his legs.

Then, in an attempt to put her mind at rest, he said, "After all he is still my brother. There used to be

three brothers in the Ans, but now there are just two left. The AJ Group of companies owns a number

of different industries. With that in mind, Rhys can lend me a hand in running some of them. And even

though he might not be as good as Marcus, he will, at least, be able to help around a little if I just find

an appropriate position for him to fill."

In spite of everything, Rhys was also a son of the Ans. And he might be far from being as good as

Marcus when it came to managing a business, but he was still relatively better than the average

person.

As she listened to Terence's response, Carla lightly bobbed her head along.

When he was done talking, she wondered, 'Oh, that's right. They are indeed related by blood.

I hope Rhys will be much more reasonable so that he can help Terence better and not follow Marcus'

footsteps and resort to doing underhanded things.

The AJ Group manufactures various goods all over the world. If Terence has to manage the business

all by himself alone, he will end up being much too busy for anything else. For that very reason, letting

Rhys help him out would probably be the best course of action to take.'

Grabbing the cup sitting on the table, Carla took a sip of water. Then, she nodded her head in

agreement with what Terence had in mind.

Then, she went ahead and remarked, "The three sons of the Ans have completely contrasting

personalities. The eldest of all, Marcus, is so spiteful and wants to take your place by any means

possible. And Rhys, on the other hand, looks like he doesn't really care much about the business at all,

but in any case, he's still such a smart guy."

Truth be told, when she first came across Rhys, she instinctively had thought that he was probably a

clever businessman.

She had a hunch that Rhys probably went abroad this time with the intention of observing everything

while keeping a safe distance. If Marcus were to have been the one who ended up victorious, she

somewhat felt like Rhys would also be so happy to propose a toast for him to celebrate.

"Yes. When we were still kids, grandpa used to tell us that we would be following different paths in the

future. Now, after everything that happened, I finally realized that what he said was true," Terence

replied, recollecting the past.

As he leaned towards her, he glanced at his watch and said, "I'm about to attend a meeting in a few

minutes. Do you want to come with me?

"Isn't that meeting of yours going to be held in the company?" with her hands on his waist, Carla asked,

a bit unenthusiastic about the idea of going with him.

"It's just going to be like a family meeting in the An's Mansion," Terence clarified. Caressing her face,

he looked straight into her eyes and told her, "You don't have to feel so anxious. You can come with

me, then when we're done having the meeting, we can stroll around outside. What do you say?"

"If you say so." Knowing that he really wanted to take her with him, she agreed, playfully snuggling up

in his arms.

If she was completely being honest, she actually hated the thought of being away from him even if it

was just for a second.

After all, she couldn't bear to think about what would happen after two days passed. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

She was scared to think that Terence wouldn't be able to smile at her again or even talk to her in such

an endearing voice any longer...

Not wanting to hurt his feelings, she didn't tell him that she was about to get engaged to Noah. But in

the end, she knew she could no longer avoid it. And he would surely feel so devastated when he finally

found out.

Be that as it might, it was taking all of her strength just to fool herself, trying to forget about what was

bound to happen. At least, for the next two days, all she longed for was to happily spend the little time

she had left right next to him.

Oh, how she wished she had never gone to HA City on that day. If only she hadn't come to HA City

along with Noah back then, she could have avoided getting into that unfortunate car accident, and she

could be merrily enjoying this time with him, free to do whatever she wanted without a care in the world.

But the gods watching over her from above seemed to be so fond of tormenting her and seeing her in

agonizing pain.

Moments later, Terence and Carla arrived at the venue for the meeting—the An's Mansion.

While Terence was still attending the meeting, Carla decided to just wait for him at the hall downstairs.

Considering that this was a family event, so every person present should, of course, be a member of

the An family.

That being said, she wasn't the only person who was waiting for someone at the hall.

She stumbled upon a girl whom she had already met once before in the Ans. If her memory served her

right, the girl's name was Amanda. At any rate, how could she ever forget the girl who was referring to

Terence as her uncle but still wanted to marry him anyway?

"Carla? Your leg..."

Staring intently at the crutch which had been supporting Carla, Amanda asked inquisitively.

"I unfortunately got involved in a car accident a couple of weeks ago and fractured my leg," Carla

explained. Although it looked rather unseemly, she lifted her injured leg on the sofa's armrest because

it would feel a hell of a lot more comfortable that way.
