Chapter 783 The Daughter-In-Law Had Arrived

When Sean came out of the study, Sally insisted that he tuck her in and tell her a bedtime story.

Meanwhile, Terence accompanied Carla back to her room.

Carla slowly changed her clothes and was about to go into the bathroom to take a shower when Terence stopped her.

"Wait!" Terence exclaimed as he held on to her arm.

"What?"

Carla turned around and asked.

"I'll go with you. What if you slip and fall?" Terence said, immediately taking off his clothes. In a few seconds, he was ready to join her in the bathroom.

But then, he saw Carla staring at him with a strange smile on her face. "Why are you so cautious about me all the time? You weren't this extreme before. You really changed into a completely different person the moment we found out that I'm pregnant."

"Don't make it sound like I didn't care about you in the past," Terence said as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He then squinted. He realized that she was wearing nothing under her pink and white nightgown.

In the past, he had asked her so many times to a take a bath with him. However, she would refuse him every single time.

Carla looked down as she adjusted the night robe around her. She poked him in the chest and said softly, "No, thank you. I will be careful. You won't be much help anyway. And actually, I'm more worried about what you might do during the bath. What if you act on impulse and hurt your father's grandson? If that happens, I might have to leave again."

When he heard her satirical statement, Terence grabbed her hands and kissed her. "Nonsense. You underestimate my self-control.

I'm fully prepared to restrain myself, mentally and physically. Even if you strip all of your clothes and pole dance in front of me, you have my word that I'll remain calm."

When she heard his exaggerated claims, Carla took out her hand. She then placed it on top of his chest and drew circles on it. "Oh, really? So you will be able to resist me? Is that what you're saying?" Carla leaned closer and whispered close to his ears.

"You really want to challenge me?"

Terence caught her hand that was crawling on his body, leaned down, and kissed her on the forehead. Then he hugged her and they went into the bathroom together.

After they finished taking a shower, Carla was comfortably curled up in Terence's arms, ready to go to sleep.

"You know what? I think what you said earlier is actually a good idea. You said that... you wanted to prove to me that Susan failed that night, right?"

Carla blinked her eyes and started the conversation.

If she were being honest, she was having a hard tim

e must be grand and luxurious as well. Even though it wouldn't be as magnificent as the Seaview Villa, they were sure that it would be exquisite as well.

"That's right! Jane, the reason why we brought you here today is that I hope you can stay in JA City. Don't forget us when you become rich!"

Cheryl said to her niece Jane.

After Carla and Sean visited them last time, Cheryl and James had been thinking about this idea for a long time. They figured that nothing fruitful would happen if Jane stayed in the countryside all her life.

They were afraid that if Jane stayed in the countryside for a long time, the gap between her and Sean would only become wider and wider. By then, it might be too late for the two of them to be together.

'One should strike while the iron is still hot. It's a good chance for them to spend some time together and fall deeply in love since he and Jane are still young. Who knows what will happen in the next five years? What if Sean doesn't like Jane anymore when he grows up?

Then all of our efforts would be in vain, ' Cheryl thought to herself.

Jane nodded shyly and then looked back at the luxurious Seaview Villa in front of them.

At that time, she was still too young to fully understand what they meant. But, who didn't want a grand lifestyle? If she could live in a place like that in the future, there was no doubt that it would be so much better than marrying a country boy.

"Mr. and Mrs. Ji, please come in."

Sophie came out and greeted them with a smile.

It was the first time for Uncle James to be addressed so politely. He could not help but raise his head and straighten his chest as he walked inside.

Then, Cheryl grabbed Jane's hand and followed them to the villa.
