Chapter 1098 Please Let Me Take Care Of Sally

"I know, Carla. Even though you treat me as your own brother and I also consider you my sister, we are still not related by blood in the end. The entire JA City knows that you are a biological daughter of the Hua Family, while I am from the Ji Family.

There might be some gossip for a while, but it's not something that will destroy the whole world!"

Sean was still kneeling on the ground with determination.

"Carla, don't be angry."

Terence stood up and held Carla's trembling shoulder. "There must be a reason for this sudden decision. You know our daughter well."

He turned around and looked at Sean. "Sean, did you make this decision all by yourself? Does Sally agree with you?"

Terence had always been a very calm person. In addition to that, his daughter had been following and pestering Sean since she was a child. In fact, she even cared more about Sean than her own father. So he was somewhat mentally prepared for this.

Also, because his wife and Sean were related, Terence was able to watch him grow up and become the man he was today. He knew that Sean was, indeed, a trustworthy man.

Cody, on the other hand, was also a decent man, but his daughter saw him as nothing more than a big brother figure.

-- "Sally has no idea that I am here with you today. I decided all of this on my own. I want to get your permission before anything else,"

Sean said, lowering his head. The baby girl was seriously hurt, but he couldn't even dare to be there to comfort her.

He had to be decisive before he could make a big mistake.

Terence wrapped his arm around Carla's shoulders and said softly, "Sean is right. After all, you are not actual siblings and you aren't even related by blood.

Honey, you know our own daughter. That girl has liked Sean since she was a child. If she married someone else, do you think she will be happy for the rest of her life?

Besides, as parents, all we want is for our children to live happy lives, right? Don't we want the same thing for Sean? We want him to be happy, too."

Terence looked again at Sean, who was still on his knees, and sighed. He had never seen Sean beg and kneel down in front of anyone in all the years he had known him.

He didn't expect Sean to do anything like this—and for Sally, for that matter.

It really was a testament to his sincerity.

"Carla, are we going to make the two kids give up their happiness for the sake

t night.

In hindsight, no matter how many times she thought about it, she knew that her uncle would never do to anything that would disrespect her.

In fact, she had flirted with him many times in the past, but he didn't reciprocate at all.

"Well, I'm fine. I'm leaving now."

Sally said to him nervously as she put the cup on the table, and wiped the droplets of water on her lips.

"Sally, Wait."

Sally, who had simply wanted to walk away, turned around to look at him with joy when she heard him call out to her.

"Your phone. It ran out of power last night so I charged it for you."

Sean went to the table and unplugged her phone from the charger to give it to her.

"Oh!"

As Sean was handing the phone to her, her eyes gazed over his fingers wrapped around the phone. His manicured nails were a healthy shade of pink. She suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she liked being held by his big hands.

His warm and thick palm, which were riddled with calluses, always used to make her feel warm and safe.

She didn't know if she was obsessed with it or simply lost in her memory.

When she came to her senses, she found herself playing with his fingernails shamelessly. Her face turned red at once. She quickly grabbed her phone from Sean and walked out without even raising her head.

It was so humiliating!

If she was daring enough to do something like this when she was sober, then she must have done something even more reckless last night while she was drunk.

She had better run away as soon as possible. She was just too ashamed to stay there at that moment.
