Chapter 610 The Wife Of The AJ Group's CEO!
Chapter 610 The Wife Of The AJ Group's CEO!
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,"
James added on.
"As you can see, Sean is nearly sixteen years old now. He's only getting older at this point.
Furthermore, there are a lot of kids who would get engaged around his age."
"Sean, how do you feel about Jane?"
James finally pointed out what was on his mind. Jane was Cheryl's niece after all, and if she was
engaged to Sean then both of their families would indeed get closer.
James' thought process caught Carla by surprise. Of all the things to ask, she did not expect this at all.
"Uncle James, Sean is only fifteen! Don't you think it's still too early for him to get engaged?"
Upon hearing this, Sean thought about it seriously. Although he was only fifteen years old at this time,
he had a more mature thought process than most kids his age. He understood what James wanted
behind the engagement.
"James, sir, I think my sister is right. I'm still too young to get engaged. It's still too early for me to
prepare to start a family. No one can guarantee what the future awaits for us. I'm afraid I would have to
refuse,"
Sean vehemently replied while shaking his head.
Getting engaged right now was too big of a decision in his life. He did not think it was a good idea to
make such an important decision immediately.
"Carla, Sean, I think both of you are overthinking it. It isn't as serious as you think. We don't need to do
any ceremonies for this. We can just make the decision now. It's quite normal for men around Sean's
age in our village to get engaged. It's nothing major to think about. If there are any changes to be made
in the future, we can just talk about it when it comes, right?"
Cheryl chipped in with a smile as she looked at Sean. "Don't you think Jane is pretty enough?"
"I didn't mean that! I'm sure Jane's pretty and really nice. However, I just think it's too early for us to get
engaged right now..."
Sean politely replied, trying to turn their offer down.
On one hand, he knew he was too young to make such a commitment. On the other, he already
promised Terence and Grandpa Nicholas that he would join the army when he turned seventeen. He
didn't know what would happen to him by then.
He couldn't make this life decision right now and promise a girl with an unknown future.
"Carla, I really hope you would think about it. Sean has the blood of the Ji family. Even if Jane isn't that
outstanding, she's a really good girl. And I think she's perfect for you,"
Cheryl sighed with regret.
Sean didn't have parents to make this decision for him.
If Carla never married Terrence, he might've never been able to get a chance with girls like Jane in his
lifetime.
However, the reality was that Sean would have a bright future with Carla's help.
Which was why, Cheryl and James wanted to build a closer relationship with him.
"I understand, I'll discuss this with Sean when we get back home. But personally speaking, I still think it
would be too early for something like this for him ."
After saying what she needed to say, Carla walked out of the house with Sean. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
James and Cheryl tried to persuade them into staying, however, Carla insisted that they needed to
leave.
Despite what happened, they weren't going to leave the village just yet, she still needed to visit her
grandparent's graves with Sean tomorrow.
Therefore, they just went back to Terence's helicopter.
Carla told Terence about the discussion they had with James and Cheryl, she hoped that he could give
her some advice.
"Your Uncle and Auntie are really smart."
Carla was surprised with Terence's reply. She noticed that he grinned after hearing about what
happened back in the yard.
Carla stared at him while still holding Sally, trying to put her to sleep. She asked, "What do you mean?"
Meanwhile, Terence had a book in his hand, flipping a page while he explained to her, "To make it
simple, if Sean married Jane, your aunt's niece, Sean would naturally develop a close relationship with
your uncle's family."
"In that case, wouldn't Sean help them out when he has the money and power? What do you think
about it?"
"There really isn't any difference to what they wanted last time. They just want to hold onto Sean as a
way to a better life,"
Terence slowly continued as he turned another page, pausing for a short moment, "Initially, you
would've been the best choice. However, they are not in the position to ask you to do anything for
them. And so, they settled for Sean."
Upon hearing all this, Carla frowned.
She didn't think that deep into this matter. "So, this is the only reason they're trying to keep Sean
close?"
Although Terence patiently explained everything to her, it was still hard for her to process it all at once.
"That's right! In the past, people would marry the girl within their family into nobility in order to enter the
ranks of state administration. It would be the best way to build a solid relationship too,"
Terence explained even further.
"Nevertheless, what's important is Sean's choice. What does he think about it?"
The final decision rested on Sean.
The entire thing could actually be simply solved if they didn't mind ruining their relationship with the Ji
family.
They could just simply refuse the engagement.
However, if they did that, James might take it as a sign of looking down at them. He might even avoid
Sean from now on.
Because of this, Sean was in a dilemma on what to do.
