Chapter 441 Am I Really Very Incompetent

"Do you know how enthusiastic you were just now? I didn't even have the time to take off my clothes when you flung yourself at me," teased Terence in a feigned helpless tone.

"Shut up, Terence!"

Carla shouted at him with her teeth gnashed, stopping in her tracks. She was feeling both shy and angry.

Terence could see from her face that she was infuriated, so he stopped and turned to look at her with a big smile on his face. He said brightly, "But you know what? I like seeing you behave that way. I like it when you're enthusiastic and passionate about me. Every time you act like that, you take my breath away.

And all I can think of, is that you deserve everything that I do for you and more."

Although his words were sincere, Carla continued to glare at him, saying nothing.

"Are you still angry?" Terence asked in a gentle voice, lightly pinching her nose. Then, seeing the expression on her face, he laughed out loud and took her hand as he walked together with her toward the elevator.

"Well, that's alright. I was just kidding before." Then, throwing a glance at his bodyguards, he continued, "And they are responsible for nothing but my safety. It's quite normal for them to be in such a situation. Just take it easy. They will forget about this in a few minutes."

Carla gave him a quick glance and entered the elevator before him. She said awkwardly, "Whatever, I will never act like that again. It's so embarrassing. I've completely lost face."

"You're my wife. Who would dare to laugh at you for such a small matter?"

Terence stepped onto the elevator right after her and affectionately wrapped his arm around her waist. Thinking of the words she'd said, he said with a bitter smile on his face, "Honey, I don't want you to stop acting like that. Next time, I will make sure that there's nobody to interrupt us. So that you can just do whatever you like to me, all right?"

Actually, this wasn't a big deal at all. It was Nathan and Rainer's job to stand outside to protect him.

They would never make a big deal out of it. Even though Rainer was quite shy and hadn't had as much experience as Nathan, he could understand Carla's behavior.

Terence thought quietly in his heart, 'How could such fun and passion be missing in life?

I won't let Carla stick to her words.'

The elevator slowly closed after they both got on.

Terence was busy coaxing a smile from Carla, who was still rather angry and regretful.

At the same time, he quietly made a big decision.

He would try to get Rainer to fall in love with someone. Otherwise, Rainer would keep getting shy easily and blushing every time.

Soon, Terence and Carla reached their room.

Terence immediately went to take a shower.

Carla felt quite tired, so she directly went to bed. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

Time flew and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Soon, Carla found out that spending money lavishly was a skill.

Back when she didn't have a lot of money, she would keep dreaming about how she would spend all her money if she became a millionaire one day.

It was common for ordinary people to harbor such thoughts.

However, now that she actually had a large sum of money, she wasn't able to spend recklessly at all.

Ca

be hardworking and thrifty. That's the way I've been living for the past 20 years. Although my situation and my identity have changed now, I can't change my personality and get accustomed to such an extravagant life."

Pulling a long face, Carla pressed the card into his hand. She was not in the mood to play around.

She knew that he might look down on her, and she was worried about that.

However, she had been brought up in a hardworking and thrifty household. Those qualities were indelibly imprinted onto her mind and into her blood, so it was quite difficult for her to persuade herself into buying luxury goods which weren't even necessary.

"I'm so sorry, Carla. I was just eager to push you to get accustomed to such a life," said Terence with great guilt. He hugged Carla and patted her gently on her shoulder to comfort her. He had always known that she liked money, but now he realized that it didn't mean that she was fond of spending lavishly.

"All right, you can just keep the card and take it easy. Everything will be fine." While patiently consoling her, he suddenly caught sight of her red eyes. He wanted to check whether she was okay, but Carla quickly buried her face into his shoulder and didn't raise her head.

She held his waist tightly and couldn't resist the impulse to sniff back a tear.

Seized by sadness, she sobbed, "Am I really very incompetent?"

Terence patted her back tenderly and smiled before saying, "What are you talking about? This is not your fault. You and I had different living conditions since our childhood, so it's quite understandable for us to have different views on money.

Just take it easy. Views can be developed slowly and gradually. You've only been married to me for a month, so it's impossible for you to change your character thoroughly in such a short time."

Carla bit her lower lip. She felt better after hearing his consoling words.

Now that they were married, his money was also hers, so it broke her heart to spend it so lavishly.

"Well, now that you're here, just have lunch with me, all right?"

As Terence spoke, he looked up at the time and found that it was already almost 11 o'clock.
