Chapter 831 The Heir Of The Family

It was already dusk.

Terence picked up Carla and drove to the East Yard.

"Terence, do you know why Dad wants to see us all of a sudden?"

Carla knitted her brows in confusion.

"I don't know. Maybe he just wants to see us." Terence smiled.

He did not know the reason either, but it did not seem like a big deal to him. They had been traveling back and forth very often these days.

Moreover, Rhys and his wife were getting a divorce. Eunice was creating trouble as she had neither agreed to the divorce, nor allowed Rhys to move out. There had been a lot of rifts and conflicts, which had been bothering his father.

Perhaps Edmund just wanted to see Carla and Terence to distract himself from all the problems.

The Mu family was not a bunch of pushovers. They would not agree to a divorce unless they got something out of it.

Carla nodded. The car stopped at the East Yard and Carla felt that it was the right time, and therefore, took the picture the doctor had given her today and showed it to Terence.

"Do you know what this is?"

Terence parked the car, peered at the two pictures and took them from Carla's hands. He couldn't stop smiling at the hazy picture. His heart swelled with happiness.

"Oh my gosh! That's our baby!"

"Yep. Cute, isn't it?"

Carla's eyes prickled with tears not only at the sight of her baby, but also at the priceless reaction of her husband.

"Of course. You know, I have always been curious about how a baby looks when it has just come out of its mother's belly. I have only had the chance to see Kyle's child."

Terence couldn't control his emotions at the sight of the precious pictures. He immediately felt remorseful for not being there for Sally when she was born.

Everything was new and special to him.

His stomach was bubbling with happiness and excitement.

"Mr. and Mrs. An, Master Edmund is waiting for you inside,"

Race said.

Terence and Carla stepped out of the car.

He carefully placed the pictures into his pocket and held out his hand to help Carla climb the stairs.

As soon as they entered the room, Kaylee ran towards Carla and hugged her.

"Carla, it has been a long time since we saw each other. Did you miss me?"

Kaylee smiled.

"Oh, Auntie Kaylee, you're here!" Carla was surprised by Kaylee's presence. She had not heard from her in a long time and had almost thought that she had broken up with Edmund. "Of course! I missed you. I had been thinking about seeing you, but I was afraid that you would be busy during the end of the year, and did not want to disturb you!"

Kaylee smiled and waved at Terence. "Terence, I need to have a private chat with Carla. Why don't you go and talk with your dad?"

Kaylee said, dragging Carla into one of the rooms.

"What's wrong, Aunt Kaylee? What's with all the mystery?" Carla smiled in confusion.

Carla had not seen Kaylee after Edmund set her up and almost made her divorce Terence.

Kaylee took Carla's hand and sighed, "After what happened with you and Terence last time, I had a big fight with your father. I lost my temper and said some nasty things to him. He stopped talking with me and had not contacted me for a long time."

Kaylee was a sensibl

hewed her lips nervously. "If I end up giving birth to a girl again, will Dad get you married to another woman? He wouldn't stop until he has a grandson, would he?"

Terrence's heart broke at the sight of his wife looking scared and worried. "He won't do anything like that. Dad has promised me never to make the same mistake again." he smiled reassuringly. "He said that he would be totally fine even if you gave birth to a girl. He was initially hoping to have a grandson who could expand our family and business. Don't worry too much.

Ask your mom, if you want. She would also tell the same thing. Trust me."

Carla felt a little relieved by the intensity in Terence's voice. "Terence, even if Father is still biased in the future, you should not be like him. It will be unfair to Sally."

Many parents favored the younger child, which hurt the older one.

Carla didn't want Sally to suffer the same fate.

"Honey, you are overthinking it. No matter how many kids we have, you will always be my first baby and I will love you the most. Children will be with us only till they need our help. Once, they are old enough they will have a life of their own.

Although we can offer a comfortable life for our children, love is the only thing that will truly nurture them.

Love has no bounds and I'm sure we can love them equally without being biased."

Terence cupped her cheeks and stared into her eyes.

The love that parents have for their children is always immeasurable.

But one should never stop loving their partner.

Children won't be with parents forever. They leave their parents and have families of their own, but only their partner will be there for them till the end.

Carla knew that he was right.

She was sure that he was going to be a great dad.

"Well, honey, don't think too much. Sally will always be our beloved daughter, I promise you."

Terence caressed her cheeks, kissed her lips softly and smiled at .her

Sally was his little princess and he would spoil her with all the love in the world.

He would always protect her and no one in all of JA City would dare to bully his dear daughter.
