The villa was filled mostly with adults, so her uncle was the only one who really wanted to play with her.
Hearing Sally's question, a thought came across Terence's mind.
"Grandpa, there is this one person, but..."
Terence said as he shot Carla a bit of a hesitant look.
He had no way to tell whether Carla would be willing to send her precious brother to the army at all.
He had stayed in the military camp before and received training there.
Once people got in, they would be forced to endure hellish days there, which could be totally unbearable for ordinary people.
"Seriously? Do you have a picture of him, so I could see what this kid looks like?"
When he heard that there was a prospective candidate, Nicholas asked and his eyes lit up in excitement.
This was his one final wish, so it really meant the world to him.
Carla, who was just a couple of steps away, glanced at Terence. Right now, she knew full well what he had in mind, but she decided not to say anything.
It should go without saying that she understood how formidable Grandpa Nicholas's connections were. And she was very much aware that if Sean were to serve in the army, he would have a great future ahead of him.
But even so, she had some other cause for concern.
Indeed, everyone could see how Grandpa Nicholas had been living a comfortable right now, but only a select few were privy to the fact that he had one foot on the grave for most of the time when he was young.
Sean was the only son of the Ji family, so she wouldn't dare to allow him to join something so dangerous such as the army.
"Carla, come over here for a second,"
Terence got up and walked toward the other side of the room, wanting to discuss something with Carla in private.
Letting out a soft sigh, Carla walked toward him and whispered under her breath, "Terence, I know what you're thinking. But Sean has just turned 15 years old this year, so I think he is still too young to be doing something like that. Most importantly, we haven't even asked him if he's interested in it or not."
Truth be told, that wasn't really what she had originally planned for him.
