Chapter 967 Let Him Be

Carla's heart was still in pain as she raised her hand to wipe the tears that were streaming down her face.

"Do you know where Steven might be?"

She knew that Steven was in the room the night before.

"I believe that your grandfather needed to talk to Mr. Su to discuss important matters. Anyway, Sir Arthur asked me to let you know that you must be careful while he tries to find a proper solution to your mother's situation."

Carol replied as she poured a glass of water and handed it to Carla.

After Carla received the glass of water, Carol noticed that there was someone at the entrance.

She walked towards the door to see who was standing outside the house.

"You won't have to wait any longer, Madam. Mr. Su is back."

Carol nodded at Steven as she notified Carla about his arrival.

With breakfast in his hands, Steven made his way to the nearby table as he looked at Carol with a smirk.

"I thought that you'd be awake by now, so I decided to bring you something to eat."

When he turned to Carla, he could sense that there was concern on her face after he put the food on the table.

"Are you alright, Carla? I can tell by the look in your eyes that something is wrong"

The way that Carla was looking at Steven set off a bit of worry in him.

"Do you feel anything weird? Are you hurt?"

Carla asked. She still couldn't get the dream that she just had out of her head. The details of everything that happened to Steven in the dream were still vivid in her memory. She landed her eyes on him in a weird way.

He quickly answered her question as he smiled at her with surprise. "As far as I know, I'm in perfect physical condition. My father asked me to have a thorough medical examination when I was back in JA City and the results were great. I'm totally fine, Carla. Why should I be hurt or something?"

"Just forget about it. I just needed to know if you are okay."

Carla took a deep breath and heaved a sigh of relief. After all, it was only a bad dream.

After Steven reassured her that there was nothing to be worried about, she thought to herself that neither dreams were real in any sense nor could they mean something important.

Just then, he moved closer and stared at her just when she looked up at him. "Maybe the only one here that isn't feeling okay is you, Carla. Are you alright?"

There was an exchange of looks with Steven watching her attentively while she stole glances at him.

Carla had never seen such bright eyes that they almost looked like two shooting stars. It was not the first time for her to have Steven that close in front of her. However, with the narrowed distance between them, she realize that there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

It wasn't very noticeable. But the closer she looked into his eyes, the deeper she

"Wow! My stomach is making rumbling noises. I think I'll have breakfast now."

Carla pushed a smiling Steven to move him away so she could begin her morning routine. Started by eating the food on the table that had gotten cold.

She felt great after the decision that she had made.

After all, there would always be a moment when she would need someone to help her out. To that end, she chose to let him stay.

Carla said to herself. "I can't be his only love forever, can I? There are plenty of strong and beautiful women around here. I'm sure he will find the right one sooner or later."

Carla was convinced that Steven would eventually live a happy life one day.

It took Steven quite a while to recover from what Carla said. He couldn't help walking over to her and hugged her tight. "I will forever be grateful for this. Carla! Thank you very much!"

He didn't care if she hugged him back or if she was even sincere about it.

It was enough that she allowed him to stay.

"Alright, don't get too excited! I still have a long way to become the clan leader.

It's kind of funny that there might be plenty of men who would also want to hug me once I assume the position."

Carla said jokingly as she looked at him with raised eyebrows. The fact that many handsome men would start sticking around for her was a tempting thought.

"But in the end, I'll be the only man to hug you."

Steven said these words with such confidence as he smirked and opened his arms to let her go.

Carla shook her head from left to right as she looked at his wide smile. Steven left afterwards. She then finished her breakfast and proceeded to get dressed.

She remembered that she had matters to discuss with Arthur regarding her grandmother.

She didn't want to waste any more time doing nothing even though she hadn't fully recovered from her illness yet.
