Chapter 1102 The Twilight Is Gone And The Sun Is Rising

"Mom? What's going on? Is there something wrong?"

Sally followed her mother to the bedroom, a sense of guilt following her. If her mother was sad, she knew she had a hand in it.

Anxiously, she waited for Carla to scold her. After all, the other night she had been drunk. Her recklessness must have worried her mother.

She had always been careful. However, her last night's behavior was one that required some serious scolding. And she was more than willing to be punished if that put her mother's mind at ease.

"Come and sit here."

Carla raised her chin and motioned for her to sit down.

Sally came over and sat next to her. She rubbed her shoulders and said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Don't be angry, okay?"

She swore that she would never get so drunk that she could hardly walk, ever again.

"I am not here to discuss that! What is it that you are making your uncle do? Once again you have made him call off his engagement. What do you gain from this?"

Carla raised her eyebrows and looked at her daughter with her reproachful gaze. She thought, 'This girl is getting more and more troublesome. She is not as obedient as she used to be when she was a child.'

"What?"

Stunned, Sally's eyes widened. With disbelief, she stared at her mother. "Mom, what did you just say now? Could you please repeat it?"

Letting out a sigh of annoyance, Carla shook her head and looked at her. "Sally, your uncle broke off the engagement with the Lu family today. Although it hasn't been made public, the wedding won't happen anymore."

Sally blinked her eyes and dumbly questioned, "Why? Doesn't Uncle Sean like Miss Lu?"

Realizing Sally was sincerely confused, Carla shook her head and said, "So you really have no idea at all?

Your uncle broke off the engagement with the Lu family for you."

"But..."

Sally stuttered. Words wouldn't come out of her mouth. It took her a while to regain her composure. When her mother's words finally began to sink in, she was overwhelmed with a myriad of indescribable feelings of joy.

'He did it for me!' Sally couldn't control the happiness inside her.

"Sally, I hope you will give yourself some time and understand what your feelings are, towards him. Marriage is not a game. It needs devotion, time and dedication to remain intact. A lot of trials and tribulations will cross the path of a couple. But one can make it work with unshakable faith! Do you think you possess these qualities?"

Carla asked, her motherly concerns eating her away. Now, Sean was willing to take a risk for Sally's sake. And while doing so, he would be criticized countless times.

She hoped that her daughter could understand that his love needed her support

n his voice.

He knew that she was worried about Sally, but his people had seen her arrive at Sean's house safe and sound.

As a father, he couldn't properly take care of his daughter when she grew up. Luckily, he had Carla who made it easy for him.

Carla snapped back to reality and turned to look at him. The first thing she thought at the sight of him was how young he looked! Years had passed but his eyes were as deep as they were when she first met him. And the smile at the corners of his mouth was as elegant and charming as before.

"Why are you staring at this face? Am I handsome?"

He asked jokingly, noticing the way she was staring at him. Playfully, he pinched her chin with one hand. When she didn't reply, he said, "I must be. Otherwise, why are you so obsessed with my looks?"

"What's so attractive about an old man? I'd rather go and look at Adonis." She smiled, but continued to gaze at him lovingly.

Then, he raised his chin and kissed her. With a smile at the corner of his eyes, he said, "Really? Two girls were chasing after me today. Old men have their own charm and passion! Do you want to feel it?"

Carla felt itchy and tried to dodge his kiss. But deep down she was enjoying it immensely. The next moment, her body was lifted up. "What are you doing? Put me down!"

'Does he really think he is a young man of twenty or thirty?' she thought.

"Nope. This old man wants to prove that age is just a number." Terence refused to let go of her.

"Didn't you just prove it last night?" she asked.

"It's not enough. I have to prove it every day!" he rebutted.

"But...." she stopped talking as soon as his lips touched hers.

The night sky was dim and the rain had begun to diminish. Now it was reduced to a quiet drizzle.

As the twilight receded, sun began to rise.
