Chapter 1097 Made A Decision

In the car, Sally's piercing gaze was glued to the man who was holding her hand while driving.

Under the influence of alcohol, she was dizzy and only had a vague notion of who it was.

Embarrassed by her piercing gaze, Sean looked away and made a phone call.

"Don't worry. I've found her. Thank you."

Sally was still looking at him. With uncertainty, she reached out and touched his face. Then she let out a cry of disbelief.

"Un.... Uncle Sean?" she stuttered.

Sean kept his gaze on the road ahead and nodded.

"Are you really... Sean Ji?"

Sally asked for reassurance. She couldn't believe her eyes.

He nodded again, but continued to stare at the road. It seemed that he didn't have the courage to face her.

It was a dark night and there were only a handful of cars which allowed him to drive smoothly.

In a matter of minutes, they would reach his residence.

Instead of taking her back to the military base, Sean drove her to his secluded villa, located in the mountains.

Over the past decade, he had made remarkable achievements in the army. Hence, the government of JA City often gave him generous rewards. After all, he was someone who had made significant contributions to the army. It would suffice to say Sean accumulated a fortune over the last few years.

However, such material things didn't hold much value in his heart.

Sally, still in a drunken state, continued to stare at him throughout the car ride. Even now, she couldn't believe it was indeed him.

Every few seconds, she would call out his name, as if to make sure he was still there. And he answered every time she called, without an ounce of annoyance.

There was a part of her that wondered if it was just a dream. 'What if I blink and he won't be there?' she wondered.

They soon arrived at Sean's villa.

Sean carried her out of the car and placed her in the guestroom.

"Sally, just stay here. I'll get you some pills that will help with the hangover in the morning. Also, you are in dire need of rest. Stay here and don't move." Sean gazed at her gently for a while and then stood up.

There must be a reason for her to be so drunk. Perhaps it was because of Cody, but deep down Sean was aware that he too had a part in this.

At first, he wanted her to stay with Cody. He wanted her to live a life like a princess.

But now, seeing her condition, it was evident to him that wasn't happening.

Before he could come to the conclusion as to who was to

nd? You should know that your wedding is supposed to take place in five days. Are you sure you know the consequences of your decision? You may have to live your whole life in regret."

Terence was a wise man. His words were intended to confirm if Sean knew what he was doing. On top of that, he knew Sean wasn't someone who would make rash decisions. If he wanted to cancel the wedding, he probably had a good reason.

And he wanted to know what it was.

"I know. I will personally talk to the Lu family and make an apology. I will also write an application that will get myself demoted. Even then, I know I haven't made up for my mistake. Anyway, the point is I will take full responsibility for everything,"

Sean said firmly.

"Would you care to explain why?"

Holding Carla's restless hand tightly, Terence raised his eyebrows and asked.

Sean looked at Carla and saw the astonished expression which was etched on her face. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground. His straight back was like a towering mountain. The moment he knelt down, he had discarded all his dignity.

"Carla, I'm so sorry... Can you let me take care of Sally for the rest of my life?"

Suddenly, Carla's body staggered and fell into Terence's arms.

"I know it's against the rules and moral sense. But I am willing to face it all. I promise I will never back off. And if I have to go to hell after I die, I'm willing to bear that as well!"

Sean swallowed hard. It was with great difficulty he had uttered those words.

"Sean! Do you have any idea what you are talking about? You must be out of your mind!"

Carla suddenly shouted, looking at him with rage.
