Chapter 980 Terence Belongs To You Only

Meanwhile

In Yu Village

"Young Master, we have arrived,"

Victor said as he pointed at the local tea house in front of them. This was where they had agreed to meet someone.

Steven looked at the tea house which was somewhat of a hidden gem in this busy city. Compared to the other bustling stores around, it wasn't really eye-catching. Steven paused for a moment to take in his surroundings before going inside.

After a while, Steven arrived at the third floor of the tea house.

"Mr. Su, I've heard so much about you. Come and take a seat!"

A middle-aged woman said, motioning Steven to sit down the moment she saw him walking towards them.

"Jasmine, thanks for the warm welcome. It's my honor to meet you here." Steven flashed her a charming smile as he sat down.

"Oh, Mr. Su, you are being so modest. Sir Arthur has assigned you to a very important position. We will have to rely on you more in the Western District in the future."

This middle-aged woman was the minister of the Western District of Yu Sea City.

Yu Sea City had four districts: the North District, the South District, the West District, and the East District--all of which were aptly named after their locations. Both Yu Village and Wang Village were located right in the center of the city, so despite their names, they were considered as municipalities.

In the past, everyone favored Lucia, the eldest daughter of Dorothy. But recently, the political climate in the city had undergone some changes.

Andrea had finally brought Carla back, and just recently, Carla was able to make a name for herself not only by defeating Lucia, but also by winning the horse-riding competition. It resulted to convincing the matriarch, Queen Eleanor, to lift the ban on her and her mother at last.

Although Eleanor hadn't formally admitted Carla into the clan, everyone knew that it was just a matter of time.

Now the four districts were ready for action. Moreover, since Arthur had already offered Steven a position, it was obvious that they wanted to cooperate with him.

"We will have a good partnership for sure. Even though I am not a native member of Yu Sea City, I will be spending most of my time here, so if you need any help at all, please let me know,"

Steven said with a smile as he motioned for Victor to take the book out.

Since she had already agreed to meet, there was no need for him to beat about t

At the sound of the softness and calmness in his voice, Carla's heart started to beat faster.

No wonder he refused to take her to Yu Sea City every time she begged him before.

'He must have anticipated that all of this will happen, ' she thought.

"Carla, don't blame yourself for anything. Only when you lose something will you know just how precious it is.

Maybe that's the reason why I cherish every moment I have with you so much now."

Terrence noticed the guilt in her eyes and comforted her with a soft smile.

A lot of couples would get divorced because of spending so much time together that they would eventually get tired of each other.

And as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

So as long as she was fine, he didn't care how long he had to wait to spend time with her.

Terence gently touched her face and saw tears welling up in her eyes. With a frown, he asked, "What's wrong? I only wanted you to get up and watch the sunrise. Why are you crying?"

Carla took a deep breath and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Honey, I'm so lucky to have you as my husband. Did you know that?"

At that very moment, she felt like all the hardships she had faced before were all worth it.

She had always complained that he was a jinx that always brought her all kinds of trouble.

But now, she knew, more than ever, that she was immensely blessed to have met and married Terence.

"Well, it's my pleasure. There might be a lot of good men in the world, but...

I, Terence An, belong to nobody but you."

Terence looked at her with the sweetest smile.
