Chapter 503 The Family Dinner (Part One)

At the JA Hotel, everyone was already in their seats by the time Carla and Terence arrived.

As per tradition, Edmund was sitting at the host seat, while Laura was seated right beside him. To their left were Rhys and Eunice.

Eunice was already at the end of the second trimester of her pregnancy, so she had a prominent baby bump. Currently, she was quite the talk of the town. Everyone was concerned about her and the baby she was carrying.

The dishes served on the table were all of her favorites. They made it a point not to include any food that she didn't like or wasn't allowed to eat, so there was little chance of those making their way to the dining table.

After Terence had taken a seat, he ordered a few of Carla's favorite dishes. That being said, right after he had given his orders to the waitress, Eunice suddenly put her oar in.

"Can we please not have the Black Fungus with Minced Garlic? I just can't stomach the pungent smell. Even just a little bit is enough to make me feel nauseous..."

Eunice exclaimed in such a childish way.

"Okay then, please just cross that one out from the list for me. Thank you!" Carla told the waitress right away. With that, the dish was taken out of the order.

"Thank you, Carla," Eunice expressed her gratitude. Eunice beamed Carla a smile. After that, she placed her hand over her belly and shot Terence, who seemed to have a flat look on his face, a glance

After what happened last time, Eunice had learned her lesson. She wouldn't dare to ruffle his feathers ever again. Be that as it might, this was the An's family dinner.

As the only pregnant woman in the room, she was dead set on taking advantage of every bit of privilege she had at the moment.

As soon as all the dishes were served on the table, Carla began eati

s, Carla replied, "I feel flattered. If you're interested, I'll be more than happy to teach you after your delivery."

Because she wasn't anticipating to hear such a response, Eunice was utterly dumbfounded. She found it hard to believe that Carla had the audacity to actually take her words as a compliment.

She was baffled how Carla couldn't detect the sarcasm in her words and had them completely misconstrued.

Forcing a cough to clear her thoughts, she said, "That's so nice of you. But I think riding horses doesn't really suit me. Besides, I don't think I'd have the time to do that. There's a lot I have to learn about raising a child. At the end of the day, nurturing my baby to become a good person is at the top of my to-do list,"

she remarked, letting out a soft chuckle and covering her mouth with her hand. As she was doing that, she made sure to glance at Carla, looking as though she had won this battle.

Carla couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. To tell the truth, she had never really thought that having a baby would be such a big deal. That being said, someone was apparently thinking quite differently. Eunice probably took great pride in being able to conceive.
