After hearing his name called from the outside, Terence slowly walked out the tent.
Before replying, he noticed that Carla looked extremely upset, "I guess in a lot of people's eyes, we do look like we exchange passionate glances more often than we notice."
However, He did not think this was a bad thing to do as a couple.
"Terence! Be serious about this! Do you think it's inappropriate of me to do such things with you in public?"
It was the first time anyone told her up front about it. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Who said that?"
He neared Carla and held her close. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You're my wife. How could it be inappropriate for you to call my name?"
Upon hearing Terence's words, Zora froze in place.
"You're..."
Carla turned around and looked at Zora, "I was just about to introduce him to you. This is my husband, Terence."
Hearing and looking at the reality before her, Zora felt like she would pass out at any moment.
"Te... Terence?"
Zora's eyes widened, and the corner of her mouth twitching as she looked at the CEO of the AJ Group.
Obviously, Zora was working for him.
In that sense, Carla, his wife, was her boss too.!
She couldn't explain the shock she felt inside with words.
Despite recovering from the panic she was feeling, she kept looking at them back and forth. She worked really hard for the past ten years, and finally be in a good position within the AJ Group.
However... Carla on the other hand, only had a degree from a normal college, she only had to get married to the CEO to live the life she could only dream of. Zora just kept staring at them, feeling dumbfounded. To her, it seemed that all the efforts she put in at work, and everything she was proud of just became a joke.
"Zora? Zora?"
Carla kept calling her name after noticing her sudden stunned look. However, Zora only responded by closing her eyes, and fainting.
Rainer managed to catch her before she fell down.
"Don't worry about it. She's not the first woman to pass out in front of me, she'll be fine after a while,"
Terence calmly said and walked past her with his arm around Carla's shoulder.

Time passed by, and evening came. It was time to eat dinner.
However, Terence stayed inside the aircraft and didn't go back to James' house.
There was food in the aircraft and it was good enough for him
Carla and Sean on the other hand, stayed behind at James' house. They ate dinner there.
After having dinner, James and his wife, Cheryl, chatted with Carla and Sean on the bench
underneath the tree in the yard.
They had something to suggest to Carla.
"You're living in JA City now Carla. However, we really can't visit often. It would only seem like we can only drift apart,"
Cheryl said with a heavy sigh.
JA City was extremely far away from the village where they lived. There were no flights available that would directly come here, they could only ride multiple flights. Thus, taking a lot of time for them to visit. And most importantly, their parents were already gone.
They didn't have any reason to really visit.
"Don't worry about it Auntie! We'll come and visit you guys more often instead! Don't worry about it,"
Carla replied with a beaming smile.
James thought of something while looking at her. He commented, "Carla, even though Sean is old enough now, he still has the blood of the Ji family. It isn't necessary for him to visit us, but it would be good for him to keep in touch with the family."
He continued on, "I have a favor to ask from Sean, it's hard for me to say it. And I am unsure if you would want to hear it or not,"
The words came out hesitantly as he stared at the both of them.
"What is it?"
Carla quickly exchanged glances with Sean.
"Please say it. If you have any problems you need help with, Sean and I will help you,"
Carla earnestly replied, she had assumed that James needed money.
"No, no, no! That's not what I meant," James hurriedly said back while waving his hands after noticing what Carla was inferring at. "I think that the best way for both families to keep a good relationship is to have the children of both families marry each other,"
