Chapter 935 We're In This Together

"Yes, ma'am," Terence laughed.

He rolled up the sleeves of his crisp white shirt, revealing his toned forearms and carried the dishes out with her.

The two caught up about the events of the week, and soon the day outside turned into night.

Brian and Debra arrived at the villa shortly before dinner time.

As usual, they entered the house quarreling with each other.

"I don't want to go out with you anymore! You behave like a prisoner who has committed a crime and is constantly trying to escape! We should have arrived here in half an hour! But it took us two hours!" complained Brian.

Brian was extremely annoyed because they had driven a few more miles than usual and changed their route many times to avoid the paparazzi.

"I didn't want to do that either, but my new movie is coming out soon! The agents have strictly told me to stay out of news and avoid any gossip!" Debra stated as she took off her sunglasses and mask.

"No gossip, huh? Don't act like you don't know what people are saying about you and that actor! It's all over the news. You two even had a secret meeting in the middle of the night and traveled together after that!" Brian said, his voice raising as a frown took over his face.

He had refrained from talking about it to her earlier but he couldn't keep it in, in the heat of the argument.

"He is the movie's leading man. The rumors were created by our company to hype up the movie. It's not a true story,"

Debra retorted, taking off her coat.

"Really? I don't understand why they have to spread such a rumor just for a film! What will happen when you get married? Will they still spread rumors like these?"

It was clear that Brian was disturbed by all these rumors.

Carla had just changed into her night clothes and was now walking down the stairs. When she saw the two of them at the door arguing with each other, she hastily went closer and pulled Debra away, urging her to sit down and relax. "What's going on? Why did you guys start quarreling the moment you stepped in the house?

Stop it! I just got back! I'm not here to hear you two lovebirds quarreling!"

She also asked Brian to sit down. "Here, have a seat both of you. Brian, Debra is a public figure, sometimes things aren't within her control! She has her own difficulties! You should be more considerate of her situation!"

"Yes. I don't want to do those things either! But as a public figure, I have no choice," Debra murmured, shooting a glance at Brian.

Brian sat down in front of her, crossed his legs and spoke in a confrontational manner, "Alright, but when will this come to an end? If we marry, I don't want to hide away with you as my wife, that you can't meet even my friends and relatives. If that happens, it would almost be like having an invisible wife."

"I didn't say that we have to keep doing this forever. I've planned to ask for a leave next year... " Debra refuted again, trying to make him understand her situation.

The two of them k

e so selfish.

Just like Allen, he wanted Andrea to abandon her family and hometown, which was what resulted in the current situation.

"Terence? Do you really think so?"

Carla looked at him with a surprised look. She had assumed he would be strongly against it.

"Sally is still too young, but we can't rush to make a decision for her. If she chooses to give up to be the chief in the future, we don't owe her anything, right?"

Terence continued in a soft and low voice, "Carla, now that fate has decided that we have to take this responsibility, we have to face it bravely and try our best to find a way to solve the problem!"

"Of course, I also did it for myself. Adonis would be the successor of the family business and conglomerate. Sally would also have the support of Yu Sea City. Plus, Sean was in the army. With their help, as the heir to the An family, I have the right to carry the family forward."

Every heir of the An family had the responsibility to hold up the family name.

Although the children had to make their own choices in the future no matter how hard it would be for them, he was responsible for creating more opportunities for them.

Carla nodded and took a deep breath. "Honey, no matter what decision we make, we're in this together, so I'm not afraid of anything!"

Terence gently tucked Carla's hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "Carla, no matter what happens, I'm your man. It's my duty to protect you from the troubles of the world."

Carla was so touched, she planted a passionate kiss on his lips.

Her heart felt warm and comforted knowing he would always be there for her.

"Oh, is Adonis crying? I'll go check on him!"

Terence was about to lift her up and carry her to bed, but Carla pushed him back and ran to check on Adonis.

Terence shook his head with a bitter smile, folding his arms against his chest.

Already, they didn't get a lot of time together. Now, there was another little rival to compete for her attention.
