They had a pleasant dinner of various fragrant dishes that were suitable for pregnant women to consume. They spoke desultorily about many topics while they ate. After dinner, Carla received a call from Andrea.
Andrea knew that Noah had tricked Carla into going to the hospital to have an abortion. Andrea was worried and furious. How could Noah have the gall to do that to Carla? Andrea knew that Carla needed to get away from Noah. As a result, she no longer objected to Carla coming back to JA City.
After all, Carla was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the An family. This baby was very important. Sooner or later, Carla would have to return to the Ans.
Andrea had unilaterally announced the cancellation of the engagement in public. But because she wanted to sweep the incident under the rug and not bring Carla any more pain, she did not give a reason why the engagement was cancelled. Therefore, even members of the Hua family did not know the truth. They all assumed, however, that Carla changed her mind and abandoned Noah.
"Callie, how are you doing? Are you okay? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm doing much better now, mom. I started to eat a lot after I came back. I have seen the doctor and he said that everything is okay. Although my stomach isn't showing yet, the baby is growing well."
Carla returned to her room while chatting happily with her concerned mother. At the moment, Terence was dealing with some work in the study.
"That's good. Then I won't be so worried about you. In any case, a woman's first baby is very important. You should try to eat better and do some light exercises. It is very important to be healthy throughout your pregnancy. You don't need to worry about us or the family. Since Mr. Terence has a good grip on the overall business, it won't be easy for Noah to manipulate the Hua Group to take his side."
Andrea eventually sighed while lamenting the fact that the situation had reached this point. She said, "When your body is in a completely stable state, you can come back here. We can hold a general shareholders' meeting. This is something we need to deal with sooner rather than later."
Whether Andrea liked it or not, things eventually had to be settled as they had reached this point.
"Okay, I know, mom. Don't worry about me. I'm doing fine. Make sure you take care of yourself. I'll see you in a few days."
"Okay, you must take care of yourself. And when this is all over, I'll help prepare your wedding ceremony. You're already pregnant. How long do you want to drag things on for? The marriage cannot be delayed anymore!"
Carla smiled helplessly. "Don't worry, mom. Terence has already discussed this with me. We both agreed we should get married soon. But his grandpa is going to have an operation in the coming days. He wants to wait until his grandpa finishes the operation first. That way, he can be part of the ceremony."
Andrea felt relieved to hear her words. "Really? Is that the case? I assumed that the Ans didn't even think about it. But this is great. Terence's grandpa's operation is more important. The wedding ceremony can be held any time after he recovers then. But you should still get the marriage certificate first. Do you have any plans of doing that? Do it when you both are free."
"Yes, I got it, mom. Don't worry or you'll get more white hairs. Have a good night,"
Carla said goodbye with a smile and hung up the phone.
After a while, Terence finished his work and came into the bedroom.
"A call from mom? Is everything okay?"
