The moment Terence walked in, he cracked a smile with pleasure once he saw how stunning Carla was.
"Alright, let's go. I am ready!"
Carla said as she picked up her purse.
Nathan and Rainer walked in. They went into the room to help bring their luggage down.
Terence held Carla's hand and went downstairs.
They headed to the most famous royal garden and spent a considerable time there. Later in the afternoon, they finally went back to JA City.
Carla received a phone call from Sean while they were on the road.
Sean told Carla that he just finished all his final exams. He also mentioned that he would be in JA City today.
Upon hearing the news, Carla's heart raced with joy. She would finally be united with her dear brother again!
Her life seemed to finally be back on track.
"Carla, are you that excited?"
Terence gazed at Carla and was happy to see her animated expression after she received the call from her brother.
"Of course! I only have one brother! I have been taking care of him since he was a little boy. Why wouldn't I feel excited about his return?"
Carla replied as she looked at Terence.
Terence wasn't close to his brothers. His family was more like the ancient royal family. His brothers either fought with each other to be the successor of the family or took sides to gain the most profit. He didn't understand how ties between siblings worked.
However, Terence didn't say anything to ruin her moment. He just let out a gentle smile.
Carla and Sean had a really good relationship. No one in the Hua family could replace Sean in Carla's heart. Terence was sure that no one meant more to Carla than her brother Sean.
"Oh, since Sean is going to be back, I am thinking of taking him to the old house in BH City for a couple of days. In that case, we can visit our parents' grave. It is also the time for him to pay the Ji family a visit. He hasn't been home for many years."
As Carla mentioned her proposal to Terence, she immediately thought of their relationship with their family. She and Sean had grown up in the Ji family. Although as the years passed by, they both became distant.
But she couldn't just let Sean forget where he came from.
"You are going to BH City again?"
Terence immediately furrowed his eyebrows after hearing Carla's idea. It reminded him of the accident she had four years ago. They had been separated for four years because of her last visit to BH City.
He was like a burnt child who dreaded any kind of fire or flame.
"If you want, I can send someone to pick up all your relatives in the Ji family from BH City. You can just meet them in JA City. Would that work for you instead?"
Terence suggested. He would rather go through the trouble of picking up her family than risk losing her again in another accident.
"Don't you think it doesn't make sense to pick up people from BH City and drop them off in JA City so just so that we could meet them? I want to take Sean to visit the village where the Ji family is. You can't move the whole village here, can you?"
Carla replied, as she flashed a narrow and quirky smile at Terence.
Carla and Sean grew up in the BH City. However, the Ji family was in a remote village under the government of BH City.
"Hm... It is not impossible. Let me think about it."
Terence seemed to seriously consider planning to pick up the Ji family.
Seeing how serious his tone changed, Carla quickly walked over and stopped him. "Terence, don't do it! What happened four years ago was an accident! It is very unlikely to happen again! Don't worry about it. The weather there is great! There is no drought or flood. As long as we drive carefully, we will be fine!"
After hearing her words, Terence still frowned in displeasure.
"No! Although there is no drought or flood, you can't possible avoid landslides, earthquakes or drunk drivers on the road no matter how careful you are while driving."
Carla suddenly ran out any words.
Her mind completely went blank after hearing his unreasonable logic. The possibility of them experiencing such accidents he mentioned was slim to none. She opened her mouth and tried to say something. However, she couldn't find the right words to convey what she wanted to say to Terence.
"How about this? Let's take the plane, and I will go with you and Sean."
Terence proposed to Carla after careful consideration.
"Are you sure taking the airplane is safe enough? The plane might crash. Are you sure about that?"
Carla retorted as she glared at him.
"I will be there with you. It will be fine. If the plane had issues, I am 99.99999% sure I can let you safely land on the ground!"
