Chapter 332 What Do You Want (1/2)

Terence was taken aback by what Carla just said and he stumbled on the doorsteps.

'Since when have I become a cousin to Carla?' he thought to himself.

Not just Terence was caught by a surprise, Nathan and Rainer who were following behind Terence also felt amused when they heard her. They turned away their heads to hold back a chuckle. Their faces turned red as they used all their efforts to control their laughter.

But Carla shouted toward the door again, ”Cousin, why don't you come inside?”

Of course, Carla had a reason behind what she had done. She was in company with members of the Hua family.

She was fully aware that Nola and Vicky had been loyal to Noah and would invariably take his side. The consequences of the two of them coming to know about her real relationship with Terence were clear in Carla's mind.

Hence, Carla applied her presence of mind and decided to cover up the truth for the time being.

”Oh! So, he's your cousin. That explains,”

Nola heaved a sigh of relief. She was initially on the alert. She always felt a little uncomfortable and skeptical about Carla's relationship with Terence, but the way Carla addressed Terence finally let her guard down.

Vicky shared a glance with Nola that revealed that even she had the same opinion about Carla and Terrence. Even she showed her relief as she then warmly nodded toward Terence, who was stepping in. ”Please take a seat. I'll get you some tea,” Vicky greeted Terence, reaching out her hand to show him the way. Then Nola and Vicky walked into the kitchen.

Carla was seated on the sofa munching on a cake. She casually wiped her hand across her mouth before standing up to greet Terence with a big grin.

Terence smiled back. In fact, he meant to smile but it came out as a twitch on his lips.

He looked around the room and noticed the friendly rustic look as he stepped toward the sofa placed in front of the French window. He found that the room was quite Carla's style.

When Terence approached Carla, Carla quietly pointed to the sofa on the other side; he noticed and spun around accordingly.

Nola and Vicky were still in the kitchen, just on the other side of the wall. They could come out at any minute. Carla had to be cautious not to give things away.

Settling down on the sofa, Terence faced Carla and said under his breath, ”How come I become your cousin? Why not ex-boyfriend?”

Carla took a bite of cake before she explained to him with a secret smile, ”It would sound complicated if I say ex-boyfriend. I'd rather prefer to call you cousin. It gives a familial feel.”
