Dabbing quite hard on his wound, Carla shoved him back, gritting her teeth quite hard. "You wish! Today you say that you want me to stay right next to you. But in the future, when you meet someone else and fall for her eventually, you would throw me away and marry her instead. Is that what you were so deep in thought about just now?
Terence, I am warning you right now. There's no way I would ever let something like that happen. From this day forward, if you somehow manage to find the guts to get engaged, let alone marry any woman other than me, I'll show you just how dangerous I can be when I get angry!"
Just as the old proverb went, 'Where there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to fear.' If he ever dared to mess around with other women even just one more time, he would get a taste of her fury when she fought back and both of them could get hurt in the process.
Needless to say, she had already experience having sexual intercourse with Terence, so she was no longer a virgin after that sensuous night. After getting quite intimate with him and letting down her defenses, Carla couldn't just let those kinds of things slip and watch as Terence dumped her and got married to someone else.
Upon hearing Carla spout those words, Terence was a bit shocked that he seemed to have been frozen for a moment. Then, he looked straight in her eyes, showing his beautiful and perfect pearly whites, rested his hands on both sides of her waist and effortlessly lifted her up from the floor.
"Carla, please don't ever forget the words you said just now!" Terence exclaimed.
As she was hoisted up in the air, Carla peered down at Terence with a sullen look on her face. She was a little confused why he would say that, so she asked him, "Terence, you're quite a peculiar man. Are you aware of that? I can't fathom how you can still smile after all the things I've just told you."
The truth was that Carla was so sure that Terence would either be frightened or enraged after her telling him that she would go head over heels crazy in love with him. That wasn't the case though, because she could clearly see the look on his face as he lifted her up. Far from how she had expected him to react, he was obviously quite pleased with what she said.
Without having to say anything else as a response, Terence looked as though he was the luckiest man alive as he spun her around in circles a countless number of times.
Nathan then suddenly popped up by the door to remind them, "Mr. Terence, Miss Carla, dinner is served."
Terence carefully let her down, stooped down a little, and merrily stole a kiss from her lips. With an unyielding stare, he swore to her, "Carla, I love you and you alone. I will definitely marry you. I couldn't bear to imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else other than you."
His sudden declaration only made Carla much more perplexed.
"Well, are you sure about that? Then please always keep in mind that my family name is Ji. From this very moment, I don't ever want to hear you say that you will marry the daughter of the Hua family. I'd prefer it if you would say you'd like to marry the daughter of the Ji family. Is that clear?"
stated Carla, looking a bit sheepish as she kept on poking his chest and acting as if she had been giving a direct order as his superior.
Terence forced a Cheshire cat grin. Of course, he knew full well that her family name was Ji. It was only that she didn't know her real family name was Hua.
"Yes, Carla. I heard that loud and clear."
