Chapter 984 Women Were In Charge

Sally, being the smart girl that she was, smiled immediately.

"Not at all! You smiled at me, which means you like me. And I love you too, Great-grandma.''

Eleanor shook her head and laughed at Sally. She bent forward and hugged her tightly.

"You're a clever girl. You are right, I do like you, ''

she said.

"You are very kind, Great-grandma.'' Sally grinned happily.

Eleanor looked at Sally with tender eyes. Sally had easily won her heart with her innocence and sweet smile.

It had been a long time since Eleanor had seen children inside the palace and having Sally around her made her happy.

Eleanor decided to let Sally stay to keep her company.

Andrea went back with Arthur to his yard.

"So, how did it go?"

he asked curiously.

"Father, I think we have made a mistake.''

Andrea closed her eyes and sighed loudly. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the room hadn't changed much since she had left.

"Why do you say that?" Arthur asked, knitting his eyebrows in confusion.

Andrea stood up and ran her fingers across the wooden cabinet. Although it was an old one, Andrea could still smell the faint scent of sandalwood.

"I thought that the An Family would help Callie.

Moreover, they have extended their hands to support Yu Sea City in the past. So, I thought their marriage would benefit all of us.''

Andrea frowned and sat down. Times have changed and so have people. It's hard to predict what people think.

"Mom is suspicious of the An Family. She is afraid of Yu Sea City being controlled by the An Family in the future. She feels that they are here with a hidden agenda. So she wants Callie to break up with Terence and live in Yu Sea City for the rest of her life.''

"What?"

Arthur was taken aback. After all these years, he still couldn't guess what was going on in his wife's complicated mind.

"Father, it's hard to predict the future. I think our plan will end up being a disaster.''

Andrea rubbed her eyebrows and took a sip of water.

She was racking her brains t

ght it was the right time to see her.

A slow grin stretched across Carrie's face when she saw Carla. "Callie, have you robbed the fishermen? My God! You have brought a barrel loaded with lots of fish."

Carrie shook her head and smiled.

"I didn't know what to get you. We have caught these fishes with our bare hands. This is our token of appreciation. I hope you like it, '' Carla said, grinning sheepishly.

"Thank you. Is this your husband?"

Carrie asked, raking her eyes across Terence's body.

Carla nodded in return.

"Terence, this is Aunt Carrie. She is Mom's best friend. She was the one who protected me and took care of me when I first came here.''

Terence bowed politely. "It's nice to meet you, Aunt Carrie.''

Carrie smiled in return.

"Callie, I've already prepared a room for you and your husband. You can stay here for the night. I need to discuss something with you later.''

Carla bit her lip and looked at Terence. She was worried about him as he was not used to staying at a stranger's house.

"Sure, I will stay where Callie wants me to stay.''

Terence squeezed Carla's hand reassuringly.

Terence understood that he was in Yu Sea City and the customs here were different from those where he came from.

Women were in charge of this place. Therefore, he would obey the rules and dutifully follow his wife.
