Chapter 754 My Dear Ex-wife

"Answer it, but don't tell him I'm here,"

Terence said while his eyes were fixated on her cellphone.

"Why not?" Carla asked with her eyebrows furrowed.

Then, she looked down at the phone on her hand. In fact, she didn't want to answer the call. She didn't want to hear his voice at all.

If it wasn't for him, she and Terence would not have come to this point.

With this in mind, Carla turned to Terence. Without turning away, she slid her thumb on the phone's screen, placed it by her ear and said, "Hello?"

"Carla, is Terence with you right now?"

As soon as Carla spoke, Edmund went straight to the point and asked.

While looking at the man beside her, Carla lied, "No, he isn't."

"That's impossible! He has been looking for you! Hurry up and let me talk to him! The company is in a mess right now. He must come back as soon as possible."

After Edmund had finished talking, Carla walked up to the matching chair in front of the coffee table and sat on it. Unintentionally, knocking the wooden table, she said, "I already told you that he is not here. Did you not hear me earlier?

And may I just remind you that your son and I are already divorced. So please don't call me again in the future, I beg you!"

Carla didn't give Edmund the time to respond, she immediately hung up the phone in a huff.

Terence looked at her and smiled, "You're still too kind to him. If I were you, I would have cursed at him, at the very least."

Carla put away the phone and looked at him. "What did he mean? Why did he say that? What's the meaning of 'The company is in a mess.'"

"It's nothing. I just resigned,"

Terence said lightly. He then looked away from her but not before capturing her hands and engulfing them in his. He looked around the room to look at the pieces of furniture all around them. "Can you describe to me the interiors of the house you're staying at? So I can choose a table that matches it."

"Wait, hold on a second. What did you just say? You resigned? Terence, are you kidding me?"

How could Carla have the mood to choose a table after being informed of that news? How could he resign? She could have never imagined that Terence would do such a thing!

She would have easily believed it if it was anyone else that had resigned. But it was Terence, the heir of the AJ group! What did he mean by "resigned"?

Terence stopped looking around and turned to her. "Carla, I'm not kidding. Do you know what I loath the most these days?

My identity! I hate who I am and everything that has to do with it!

If it weren't for my identity as the successor of the company and heir of the family, I wouldn't have lost my wife and daughter. I wouldn't have lost the love that I have worked so hard to have."

Terence said while he looked at her with so much sincerity and determination.

"It's always very easy for a lot of people to forget the important things in their lives. Although the glory on me is inherent, there's the pressure and responsibility com

console himself.

Edmund believed that what he did was just for the best interest of the family. For others, it might have been a mistake but for him, he was just doing his best.

It was such a pity that Terence couldn't have his own biological son. Since he was such an excellent boy, Edmund had hoped that Terence would also be able to have a son that would come to be an excellent successor for the An family.

However, things didn't always go as one wished them to be. If people were forced to do something they didn't want to do, trouble was on the horizon.

Edmund had to accept that.

Meanwhile, Carla just came out of the furniture market and was fully intent on going home. However, the only problem was that Terence was still following her.

"What else do you want?"

Carla stopped and turned to ask him.

"Hon— Carla, please don't act like I'm a stranger. Think of everything that we had been through. It's noon now. For the sake of our past, aren't you going to invite me for lunch?" Terence stated with a little whine in his voice.

Instead of finding it endearing, Carla was just annoyed with what he said. 'How about you? Did you think about everything that we had been through before doing what you did?' Carla wanted to say but instead, she sarcastically asked, "Why? Are you too poor to buy a meal for yourself?" She then sneered and walked away from him.

As they say, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. He had been the president of the AJ Group for so many years. Even if he quit today, how poor could he be?

Terence tried to catch up with Carla and said, "You're right but I didn't bring anything with me this time."

Terence said while he took out his pockets to prove that they were empty. He then shrugged and continued, "I learned from you. In order for my Father not to find me, all my bank cards are inactive and my mobile phones are out of reach.

So, my dear ex-wife, could you please take me in for the sake of what has been our relationship?"
