Chapter 979 Miss You

An extravagant white yacht was docked near the shores of Yu Sea City's boundless sea.

A man in a dark grey overcoat stood by the bow of the yacht, peering through a telescope, inspecting the vast mountain ranges beyond the city's coastal area.

Just when he lowered his telescope and let out a satisfied sigh

as he saw a slender figure scurrying towards him.

"Mrs. An, be careful!"

Carol said as she saw Carla jump out of the car even before it had come to a halt. She ran at full pelt without listening. Carol ran after her but couldn't keep up with her pace.

"Mrs. An, Watch your step!"

Carol shouted

but it was too late.

Carla twisted her ankle when she set foot on the narrow bridge.

She never got the chance to rest in the last few days. She had been busy, and to top it all off, she had spent the early hours at the Phoenix Palace kneeling on the ground waiting to speak with the queen. Her already tired feet finally gave way when she ran towards the yacht.

Carla was on the verge of falling into the deep sea.

But right then, a pair of strong hands pulled her back and a familiar scent filled her nostrils.

"Watch out! God, why are you careless all the time?"

Carla's heart flipped and her stomach fluttered when she heard the resonant voice that she had been longing to hear.

It was not an illusion, it was indeed the man whom she had missed dearly. She could feel his breath blowing across her face, his strong arms safely wrapped around her waist.

When Carla's life was dangling in midair the previous day, her mind was swarming with the thoughts of him. She had recalled every second she had spent with him, every time they made love, quarreled, laughed together. She wished to see him for one last time before leaving this world.

It was during that time Carla realized the intensity of her love for her husband. She couldn't imagine a life without him. She was terrified that the rope would give away and she would die before seeing him.

Almost as if the angels in heaven had heard her prayers, the love of her life was standing before her.

Carla looked at the man in front of her, raking her eyes across every inch of his face. His chiseled jaw, deep narrow eyes, his soft lips made her heart beat frantically. She felt as if she was in heaven.

Unable to resist the temptation any longer, she tiptoed, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hun

right away. ''

Sally nodded and left the room hesitantly.

"Terence, where is Adonis?"

Carla asked

"Adonis is with Dad now. Dad and Aunt Kaylee have been constantly asking about him. So I agreed to let them have him for a couple of days.''

Terence sat on the sofa and pulled her into his arms.

Carla leaned on his chest and let his manly scent engulf her nostrils. "Has Dad found out? He knows everything about me now, doesn't he?"

"Well, yes. But you don't have to worry about anything. Father cares about our family and is only happy that you belong to the Yu Clan. He feels that marrying you was a wise decision.''

Terence chuckled and bit her shoulder slightly. "Anyway, how's everything going?"

Carla sighed loudly and furrowed her brows. "Don't ask me. Grandma has kicked me out of Wang Village. We can roam Yu Sea City but Wang Village is off limits. But the upside is she has agreed to meet my mother!"

Terence nodded.

"Well, everything will be hard in the beginning. It will get better with every step you take forward. Don't worry.''

Terence lifted her chin and looked into her haggard eyes. "I have planned to stay in Yu Sea City for the next two days so that you can spend some time with me as well."

Carla's eyes were gleaming with excitement and she nodded eagerly.

Ever since she came to Yu Sea City, Carla had been nervous. She did not know what to do or say and panicked every time she had to meet her grandmother. The anxiety was almost killing her.

It felt nice to be at ease after a long time.

Terence was her safe haven. He made her life better.
