After hearing all the things that Terence had said, Carla was at such a loss for words that she was fuming with intense rage.
All she wanted to do was to teach her brother a simple lesson, but for what stupid reason did Terence suddenly start talking about their future baby from out of nowhere?
"It looks like we're going to end up being strict parents in the future. Basically, I think it would be for the best if one of us acts strictly with our children," Terence chattered as he grabbed the game controller and sat down with his legs crossed beside Sean.
Even though Carla had just kept silent as he babbled on, she was actually already feeling a bit exasperated.
First of all, they weren't even married yet, so why the heck would Terence start blabbering about having a baby? With all these thoughts in Carla's mind, she just surmised that he could've just been fantasizing a lot and all of it was just caused by his delusions.
At that moment though, Sean blurted out something stupid that just made her much more irritated than she already was.
"Terence, I prefer being around boys more than girls. So if by the time the two of you finally get married and have a son instead of a daughter in the future, then I would be able to go out and play with him. If that ever really ends up happening, that would surely make me a lot happier!" Sean remarked as he was having a great time playing a game. After all, it was not often that he'd have an older brother figure who he could play with.
Throughout his childhood, Sean had always preferred playing with boys his age rather than girls, thinking that it would be harder to get along with girls and that he'd have a better time if he hung out among the boys.
"Sure! That's a great idea. However, it doesn't really matter much to me whether your sister will give birth to a baby boy or a baby girl. I will be sure to love him or her unconditionally nonetheless," Terence responded while having a good time playing with Sean and also casting a glance at Carla who was desperately trying to contain her anger.
"Well, if ever you end up having a son, what would you like to name him?" Sean pried ever further.
That ended up being the final straw. Carla just couldn't take it any longer, so she sprung up and went to open the balcony's door so she could take a breath of fresh air outside.
With Sean and Terence on her mind, she wondered what kind of people would think too far ahead and plan as if it would be set in stone.
Upon reaching the balcony, Carla immediately gasped for fresh air. She, just then, came upon the sudden realization that her brother had been steadily getting along more and more with Terence, and that this had started deeply bothering her.
They had been cooperating so well with each other, especially when it came to playing tricks on her in order to annoy her. In fact, they've actually been able to pull it off more and more smoothly than ever before.
When Carla was somehow finally able to calm herself down and get herself to relax, she happened to chance upon a beautiful woman waving at her on a beach not far away.
"Carla!" Heading toward Carla, Megan promptly asked her, "What's the matter? Why did you all suddenly hide yourselves from me as soon as you saw me come here acting as if I've ruined the pleasant atmosphere you have been having?
I think you've already had enough time to rest and you're not feeling tired anymore. The weather feels perfect today, so why don't we all come outside and go for a swim?"
Gazing at Megan who was wearing such a sexy yellow swimsuit, Carla couldn't hold back her laughter, thinking that this woman was beginning to get really devious with her tactics.
It was barely a few moments ago when Megan told her she wanted to play on the swing and Carla let her do as she pleased. Now, she had suddenly changed her outfit and worn an eye-catching swimsuit, about to head toward the beach.
What had gotten Carla most surprised was that Megan had suddenly taken a 180-degree turn, changing her attitude very quickly and being all too friendly toward Carla now, acting as if she had not said all of those demeaning words and rude remarks to her yesterday.
"What do you say? Would you like to join me?" Megan moved even closer toward the balcony and yelled at Terence who was so busy playing a video game with Sean, "Terence! Come out and have some fun. You've been staying inside for too long. Come over here to play with me!"
When they were somewhat done playing games, Terence proceeded to go to the balcony and glance toward Megan.
Having such an alluring figure, Megan swung her slender waist and playfully winked at him. "Terence, come on now! Let's head for the seaside and go for a swim. What are you waiting for? Even Carla has already decided to come along with me. And besides, since I've especially come here just to visit you, you can't just simply go and ignore me like that.
If you refuse to go for a swim with me, I will make sure that your father hears about it. I believe he will have my back and that he'll be siding with me on this one."
After saying those words, Megan pouted her lips at him.
Terence took a quick glance at Carla and asked bewilderedly, "Is that true? Did you really agree to actually go swimming with her?"
Letting out a little chuckle, Carla responded in an instant, "Well, it seems that someone has taken the liberty of agreeing on my behalf."
After quietly remaining still momentarily, Terence finally said, "Okay. Wait right there. I'll just go and change my clothes. I won't take too long."
About twenty minutes later, Carla and Sean headed downstairs together after getting changed. However, when they finally got to the seaside, Carla was stunned and couldn't believe her eyes.
She had actually mistakenly thought before that they would just simply be coming there to play and go for a swim.
But as soon as she laid eyes on the people and the equipment present at the beach, she found out that what she was thinking about just now was a severe understatement.
Around the swimming area stood five tall, intimidating, and strong-looking bodyguards who all wore the usual black sunglasses and loose black swimming trunks. There were sunshades, beach chairs, towels, drinks, and other essentials by the shoreline, and a few of the servants were surely responsible for bringing all those stuff.
