Chapter 932 Flower Festival

"If... if you allow me...

I'll help her become the chief of this place. She doesn't have to stay in Yu Sea City all the time. She can go back to JA City from time to time to stay with you and the children."

Steven could feel Terence beginning to boil with rage.

"As the chief's husband, I'll have the right to assist her. And if you trust me, I'm sure the Yu family will be able to support the An family in more ways than one. It will be a very beneficial partnership. I will even help prepare for your daughter, Sally's role in this family."

Beside Terence, Rainer was starting to break out in cold sweat.

How dare he say that!

Terence clenched his fist so hard the veins under his skin threatened to pop out.

He snorted, "Do you think I care whether they can support my family or not?"

--

"Mr. An, I know you are a capable man. But you also own an enormous business empire. You'll need to maintain complicated relationships over at JA City.

And being in Yu Sea City does not help you at all. Besides, it takes a lot of effort and time to be the clan's chief,"

Steven said after he took a deep breath.

People around them would probably think he was being brash, reckless and obnoxious. That he was overestimating himself.

But in truth, he would be losing a lot more in this bargain. He would be sacrificing his whole life for this role.

It was not a year or even just half. This deal would mean he was going to stay here in Yu Sea City for the rest of his life.

"I'm not asking to marry Carla for real. It will just be in name only, that's it.

Don't worry, Mr. An. I just want to do something for her. I would never expect her to do anything for me."

Then he slowly closed his eyes.

"You don't have to answer me right now, Mr. An. I will prove to you that I am capable. If I can't, I promise I won't darken your doorstep and I'll never show up in front of you and Mrs. An again."

Steven opened his eyes and gave Terence an intense look.

He took one last sip of his tea before he left.

After Steven left, Rainer stepped forward and began carefully, "Mr. An, don't be angry. The situation in Yu Sea City is very complicated. Even if Steven wants to save the situation, there are some things he won't be able to change. And besides, he was just suggesting. You don't have to agree with it now or even like it."

Terence began to loosen his grip. There were so many thoughts and feelings swimming around in his mind right now. If he wasn't careful, he might drown in them.

"Rainer, if you were in his position, would you sacrifice

and.

They had agreed to go out at the same time, and lived on the same street. How could they miss each other?

"Callie?"

Before Carla could even take a step, a man wearing a mask suddenly grabbed her arm.

He took off his mask and revealed himself. It was just Steven.

He looked at her with a big smile and carefully handed a garland to her. "Carla... "

"Wow, you made this? It's so pretty!"

Before he could finish his words, Carla reached for the garland. After looking at it quickly, she gave it back to him.

"You should hurry! Cindy had gone in that direction to look for you. Can you see her? Go now!"

Carla gave the garland back to him and pointed to the direction where Cindy had gone. For an added measure, she patted him good-naturedly on his shoulders.

Before Steven could say anything else, Carla swiftly left and disappeared into the crowd.

He stood there, dumbfounded at the quick turn of events and looked at the garland for a long time.

He smiled bitterly. He realized what Carla just did.

Before he started to look for Cindy, he thought to himself it was still a good thing he and Carla found each other in the crowd. That she was able to see his garland. She may not have taken it with her, but she had received it.

It would have to be enough for now.

Carla looked for Terence all over the place. Just as she was about to take a turn, she bumped into a hard chest. Looking up, she found a familiar handsome face in front of her.

"Silly girl, I've been here waiting for you for a long time. What are you looking for?"

Terence laughed. He took a pink garland from Nathan and put it on her head.

"I was told I have to give you this, as tradition dictates."
