Sally asked her mom as she kept spinning around in front of her. She had a great big smile on her pretty little face as she was doing this.
The little girl never really had an opportunity to wear such a beautiful dress when they were living in the mountains. But above else, she was floating on cloud nine having all of these people, whom she just met, loving and pampering her.
"Of course, dear. Sally is our pretty little princess!"
Carla replied, beaming Sally a smile while holding her hand. Sally was like a fluttery yellow butterfly as she joyously ran around the yard.
This was the first time ever since they came back that she was able to really feel at ease.
Meanwhile, just outside the yard of the Hua family's residence, Terence was silently and anxiously watching everything. No matter what he did, he couldn't stop his hand from shaking as he leaned into the black fence. Worst of all, his heart was thumping so much like it was about to jump right out of his chest.
It all felt like an unbelievable dream playing out in front of him. He couldn't help but wonder whether it was all real or if his eyes were only playing tricks on him.
Carla...
His precious Carla was finally back. She was standing right there, but it felt like she was still beyond his reach.
"Mr. Terence, is there anything wrong? Are you alright?"
Rainer asked, feeling a bit concerned when he noticed that Terence's hands were shaking like crazy. Even though he offered to lend him a hand, Terence opted not to take it in the end.
Hopelessly unable to take his eyes off of this woman standing in the yard, Terence worriedly asked, "Rainer, tell me the truth. How do I look? Do I look good right now? What do you think about my hair? Do you think perhaps I should get my clothes changed?"
"Um, Mr. Terence, I think you already look really great right now,"
Rainer gave him a bit of reassurance upon checking the way he looked.
Being a man himself, Rainer found it hard to deny that Mr. Terence was truly outstanding in all aspects including his appearance, aura, etc. But among everything else, what stood out the most was the love he had for Carla, which was so deep and pure.
Somehow managing to get a grip, Terence went past the fence and walked into the yard.
He could clearly hear his heart pounding like a drum as he went in.
"Daddy!" Sally was the first one to notice him approaching.
The second she laid eyes on him, she excitedly called out to him and wanted to run toward him. However, before she could do that, she noticed that her dad's eyes were completely glued to her mom at that moment.
It seemed as though the little girl didn't exist and he hadn't noticed her at all.
When she realized that, Sally instantly made a face.
