Chapter 412 It Was All My Fault

Carla rubbed her forehead after bumping into Terrence––yes, she knew it was him. His familiar scent and built were already engraved in her senses.

Because Johnny slightly took off her mask, making it hang on her forehead, its sharp edges poked on her temples when she collided with Terrence.

"Why did you have to run so fast?" Terence muttered under his breath.

He helped her take off the mask as he gently massaged her forehead.

Carla looked up at him and put her arms around his waist. "I'm sorry. It was my fault," she said.

Behind them was Johnny, who cast a glance at them and was about to leave.

"Johnny, I warned you to stay away from my woman!"

Terrence snarled as he saw how Johnny tried to get away from him.

Johnny stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Terence.

"Terence, you know very well that I love stealing things you value. So prepare yourself for it and don't let me get the chance to snatch away your woman.

Otherwise, I'll make her mine!"

Johnny mocked with a grin before leaving and strode towards the door.

After a while, Terrence and Carla got in the car and headed home.

Carla glanced at Terence when she noticed how he was unusually quiet. She figured he was probably upset with what Johnny had just said. "Terence, you don't believe Johnny's load of crap, do you? That is absolutely not going to happen!" she reassured him.

She knew that Johnny was just trying to stir things up. All he said was nothing but a bluff, and she didn't have the slightest inclination toward him.

Terence came to his senses and turned to her. "Hmm. I will never let him get his way. I will never let any man in this world take you away from me!"

He knew that Johnny and Noah both had their desires for Carla. And he was fully aware that there would be more and more men who would go after her.

Terrence could not control their attraction towards his wife. After all, Carla was really like a goddess that walked the earth.

Only by fully loving her could he keep his place in her heart.

Carla then leaned her head on his chest and heaved a light sigh. "Terence, it seems that I've been attracting a lot of men since the day I met you.

Karen went through a lot of trouble in finding a date for me before. But all those guys fled and avoided me like I was some kind of plague!" she murmured.

Terence tilted her chin and stared at her with a wide grin. "You mean, it is my fault that you are sought after by many men I know?" he asked.

"Yes. You know my world was turned upside down when I met you." Carla gave out a snort.

"Okay, it's alright. Since you think of it that way, I will

en opened the door and found that Sean was pacing back and forth.

"Terence? Haven't you gone to sleep?" Sean curiously asked.

"You aren't asleep either. What's up? Do you want to talk to me?" Terrence asked in return.

It seemed that Sean was worried about something.

The young boy shyly scratched his head, fixing his eyes at his toes. "Terence, could you do me a favor and ask my sister to give the letter back to me?" he asked as a faint red flushed on his cheeks.

Hearing what he said, Terence leaned against the door with a grin on his face. "Sean, you seem to care a lot about this girl. Are you...?" he trailed, trying to fish out a reaction out of the boy.

Sean violently shook his head.

"Terence, that's not what it is. I know I'm still young and need to focus on my studies. I just don't want my sister to use the letter to blackmail me in the future!" Sean explained in a hurry.

He shook his head intensely, afraid that Terence would think he was in love with someone.

"So you're telling me that you're not in love with someone?"

Terrence asked with deeply furrowed brows. He looked at his brother-in-law from head to toe and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Sean nodded his head again.

"Okay, then. If taking the letter away from your sister can help your studies and also keep you from being distracted, I will do it for your sake," Terence replied.

He then turned around and went back to the study room.

Terrence initially thought it would be better if he would not interfere with this sibling spat.

But when he saw Sean fidgeting late in the night, he was worried that it might affect his studies.

What's more, since Sean was asking him a favor, as his brother-in-law, he could hardly say no to him.
