Chapter 1014 Steven's Plan

Soon after, someone answered the video call.

Carla was about to talk, but she stopped when she saw Rainer on the screen. Her lovely face was painted with confusion.

"Mrs. An, Mr. An just left. Please call back later,"

Rainer explained as briefly as he could.

"Where did he go? Why didn't you go with him?" Carla asked with a frown on her face.

"He didn't allow me to go with him," Rainer replied innocently while scratching his head. He didn't know what to say to Carla who seemed upset.

Carla bit her lower lip and put down the iPad after ending the video call. She breathed out a deep sigh as she was worried that Terence might do something out of line.

Time passed by quickly, and it was already evening.

Being guarded day and night, Carla was feeling overwhelmed. She needed to do something, but first, she had to calm herself down.

"Madam, please stop pacing back and forth. It's time for you to come to the dining room and have dinner,"

Carol said while looking at Carla who was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with her arms folded across her chest seeming very anxious.

She wondered why Carla had become so anxious again for she had been calm earlier that day.

Carla stopped pacing and walked inside the house. Not knowing what was going on outside the house that made her jittery and restless.

Aside from not knowing about the situation outside, she couldn't leave the house. What was worse, Terence stopped answering her calls earlier and had gone somewhere without Rainer. Given this situation, she could not help but have a bad feeling about it.

Currently, she was being kept in the east yard. Unlike her, there was no restriction on Steven's movement, so he could go anywhere he wanted. That was why he had been out for almost the whole day.

Meanwhile, something had begun to unfold in Arthur's villa.

"Master, Mr. An is at the entrance of Wang Village. He wants to see you,"

Arthur's trusted servant reported.

Arthur stole a brief glance at Steven who was sitting next to him.

"Let him in," he instructed.

After saying that, Arthur turned to Steven with a concerned look and asked, "Steven, do you want to leave for a while?"

Steven shook his head and gave a reassuring smile. "No, I have to face him sooner or later."

Not long after, Terence walked into the yard. His eyes were filled with anger when he saw Steven sitting beside Arthur.

"Mr. An, long time no see."

Steven stood up and greeted Terence. The next second, Terence was standing in front of Steven as he grabbed him by the collar.

Noticing that Terence had become filled with anger as soon as he came in, Arthur made the effort to pacify him. He coughed and said, "Terence, calm down. We should talk first."

"I'm sorry but I have something to discuss with this man, alone!"

Terence could barely keep his violent urges in check as he replied. Looking coldly at Steven, his piercing eyes filled with

wanted to ask him why he came.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, he lifted her chin and covered her mouth with his. He kissed her so passionately that she was unable to speak.

When she finally had the chance, she said, "Terence, listen to me..."

Carla touched his familiar handsome face faintly. "Nothing happened between me and Steven. I was just joking. I didn't expect that you would take it seriously."

Terence responded with a snort, "I know. Carol reported to me everything about you every day."

"Then why did you..."

'Why did you come all the way here?' Carla thought to herself.

Carla didn't finish her question.

"Carla, I regret all of this,"

Terence said with a frown. Then he lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips again. "I should have stopped you from coming here. The An family is as powerful as the Yu Clan if not more powerful. I believe your grandmother wouldn't be able to force us to do anything we don't want to do.

I shouldn't have let this issue run its course or even allowed you to come back to visit your family. This is why we have so many troubles now!"

It was all because he had a soft heart.

Carla looked at him worriedly and heaved out a sigh. At that time, no one would have thought that so many things would happen.

She had just wanted to see her grandparents. She hadn't expected that things would work out this way.

Life was truly filled with surprises.

The next day, Arthur invited Terence over for tea. Because of Terence's arrival, Steven had to stay at Arthur's place last night.

"Terence, give our special tea a try. This tea is only available once every three years. These are made from the freshest and most tender parts of the plant,"

Arthur said with a smile and poured a cup of tea for him.

"Bring some for your father when you go back," he offered.

Terence smelled the fresh tea and asked, "Grandpa, have you got any news about the punishment for Carla?"
