Chapter 770 Could Kneeling Down Fix Everything

"No, I won't. I will only go back once your estranged daughter-in-law agrees to remarry me," Terence stated slowly as he flicked the ash on his cigarette.

"Haven't you remarried already?"

Edmund genuinely asked. Judging from the way Carla and Terence had been interacting, Edmund honestly thought that they had already remarried.

Terence only rolled his eyes at him.

Edmund coughed a little and said, "How about this? I will talk to Carla later and I promise you that I will convince her to remarry you. For now, how about you go back to JA city with me?"

"We'll talk about it later. Haven't you hurt her enough?" Terence nonchalantly said.

Edmund swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue and sighed. "Terence, I know I have made a reckless decision. But you should know that I only did that with your best interests in mind and for the An family as well.

Can you just forgive me this time?"

Terence put out the cigarette and shook his head. "Father, apologizing doesn't work every single time, especially with what you did. When you made that decision, you have immensely broken Carla's heart.

Perhaps, she could put herself in your shoes and try to understand yourself and when you did it the first time. But how can Carla forgive you this time?"

When Edmund first did that, they had just learned that Carla could not bear any children. It was understandable that he had done something excessive at that time.

But how about with what he did this last time?

If it were Terence himself, he wouldn't forgive his father so easily, let alone Carla.

"Well, tell me then. What can I do to make Carla forgive me?"

Edmund finally gave in to the fact that the An family couldn't thrive without Terence. And conclusively, Terence couldn't live without Carla.

Which meant that if Carla wouldn't come back soon, there was a very high possibility that the AJ Group would go bankrupt, sooner rather than later.

In the entirety of his life, women had never become a problem for Edmund. So when he saw what Terence did for Carla, it totally blew his mind.

Clearly, there was nothing more important for Terence other than Carla, not even the AJ Group itself!

At that time, Carla was sitting on the bed. She heard Edmund's loud voice from the outside and it startled her a little. She honestly didn't think that she would hear that voice again.

After a while, someone knocked on the door.

"Carla, can you please come out? I have something to talk to you about."

Carla was stunned as her eyes went wide. She could have never imagined that Edmund would actually come to her.

After a while of contemplation and calming herself down, she stood up and went to open the door.

But as soon as she opened the door, Carla, who thought that she couldn't be any more shocked was overwhelmed with what she saw.

Edmund was on his knees making a deep vow t

or you to say that. But now that your Father has knelt down in front of me, how can I reject him?"

Carla snorted. She pushed his hand away and sat on the bed with a deep sigh.

"Just ignore him. He deserves it. Don't be so moved by all of his antics, okay?" Terence sat beside her on the bed and held her hand.

When she heard this, Carla lifted her beautiful eyebrows and looked at him. "Is that so? If you haven't been here, he wouldn't have found me. Therefore, he wouldn't have come here to beg me to come back. He wouldn't have disrupted my peaceful life with Sally."

Of course, Carla was right. Of course, Edmund would not have knelt in front of her if it wasn't for the company. She knew this perfectly.

If the AJ Group hadn't been in danger, Edmund, a man who had never taken women seriously, would never have come to beg her.

"It doesn't matter, Carla. The most important thing is that he caved in, didn't he?"

Terence held her hand again and patiently continued, "Before, we were very worried that Father will make things difficult for us because of this successor issue, right? But now that he yielded on the matter himself, the problem is solved. We don't have anything to be worried about."

Carla shook her head slowly. "Pressure, there's still pressure on us. And if we're being honest, most of that pressure falls onto me. We still have a long way to go. Who knows what changes will happen in the future?"

Carla sighed. She wasn't waiting for Terence to say anything so she continued, "Anyway, you'd better go back to JA city as soon as possible. Don't waste your time here anymore. I'll think about it more and when I finally figure out what I want, you have my word that I'll reach out as soon as possible."

Terence was about to say something when

Nathan suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Terence, something bad has happened. Your father, he... he passed out on the way back."
