Chapter 845 Can I Borrow Your Husband

It took Carla a while to get herself together.

"Auntie Wilma, what did you just say? Why would Eunice think Terence is her husband after she hurt her head? And why Terence? Aren't there other men out there?"

Violet, who was standing beside her, secretly gave Carla a thumbs up as she heard her question Eunice's mother.

That was exactly the question she wanted her to ask!

"It's... It's a long story... something to do with their past. I hope you're not taking it personally, Carla," said Wilma with a sigh, like she was preparing herself to tell them the truth. Carla was on edge. Initially she had thought this was all a misunderstanding, but turned out this went deeper than she had imagined.

"Before they got married, the person whom Eunice was going to meet for the blind date wasn't Rhys. It was Terence. They ended up dating and things were going well in the beginning. But as soon as Terence met you, he suddenly stopped seeing Eunice."

Carla was just letting everything sink in with her mouth pursed. Wilma looked at her for an instant and quickly lowered her eyes again. "Perhaps your father-in-law felt guilty, so he arranged for Rhys and Eunice to see each other and that's how they got married," she added with some hesitation.

If Carla hadn't heard Terence's explanation, she would have thought it was her who had torn Eunice and Terence apart.

But she remembered clearly that Terence had told her before that Eunice would get married after Carla met Terence. That was to say, Terence had fallen in love with Carla at the time and hence had refused to marry Eunice.

Why did it sound like she was the one who was the mistress when she heard what Wilma said?

"But who knew Rhys would be so immoral after they got married! He never stopped seeing other women. Poor Eunice. She has suffered too much in the past in the hands of an immature and irresponsible man,"

Wilma spoke with sorrow and regret, beating her own chest with guilt. "It's all my fault. If I had stopped them at the time, this wouldn't have happened!

Eunice too, might be regretting marrying Rhys, which is why she thinks she married Terence after she got hurt. It's her wishful thinking surfacing.

Mrs. An, I'm sorry you have to deal with this. But she's your sister-in-law, a

now that the matter had gone out hand, she thought she needed to intervene.

"Please don't get angry, Auntie. This is just how Violet is... she is extremely frank. You're an elder. Be kind and don't be mad at her,"

Carla replied skillfully, effortlessly covering Violet's demeanor.

Stroking her chest, Wilma glared at Violet and then turned to Carla.

"Mrs. An, I really don't want to cause a scene."

"Yes, I know. I also know you care about your daughter very much. But it isn't I who can help you. You need Terence's help. Even if I agree, it would be useless if Terence refuses to help.

stated Carla in a calm tone.

"Well, as long as you agree, I think Terence will agree too!" said Wilma with a little hope again, loosening her hand from her chest.

"Auntie Wilma, please don't say that. Terence is a man of his own accord. That he listens to me is only a rumor!"

Carla smiled at her and then continued, "I have an idea. I'll talk to Terence about this when he comes home and let him make the decision by himself. Would that be okay?"

"Err... "

Wilma faltered. She knew Terence was unwilling to help her. This was why she had come to Carla in the first place.

If the decision was still up to Terence, then spending the whole day here asking Carla for help was a complete waste of time.

She had assumed Carla would be softhearted and would agree to help readily.

But not only was her friend super mean, she too was a very shrewd woman.

It turned out, she had underestimated Carla.
