Chapter 464 Pregnancy Concerns (1/2)

Edmund sighed before saying, ”Terence, my son, I've already told you. You should have listened to me and married someone else, other than Carla. There are a lot of women who are more beautiful, more accomplished, and more connected than her. Women who would have helped you and our business more. When we found out that Carla is the daughter of the Hua family, I thought that she would be worthy of you by some degree, but now...”

Edmund sighed a little deeper this time before he continued, ”I think you should know well enough that you can't divorce someone once you already got married. This is one of our family's most important traditions. However, you should also know that as a member of the An family, there is another rule to be followed. Not having an heir is the gravest of the three cardinal offenses against filial piety.”

Terence smiled and responded, ”Dad, please don't forget that you have another son. You should relax and calm down. I'm pretty sure that you'll have lots and lots of grandchildren, one way or another.”

When he heard this, Edmund's anger shot to the roof, making him pound on the table really hard. It created a striking sound that even Terence was a little shocked that his Father could do something like that.

”What nonsense are you talking about?! Have you completely lost your mind?!

You know very well how strict the requirement is to be an heir of the An family. What the An family needs are your biological kids! How can you compare your brother's kids with yours? They shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence!

If an illegitimate child and a legitimate child can be regarded as being equals, Marcus wouldn't have become a person that we didn't like, nor would he covet the family's wealth.

There are also the ancestral rules of our family. Therefore, there is no way that you will break the rules, Terence. I won't let it happen. As long as I'm alive, that will never happen.”

”Dad, I'm the one who should be blamed for Carla's miscarriage. It's all my fault. You shouldn't put the blame on her. If, and that's a big if, she can't conceive, I won't abandon her,”

Terence said firmly. Then, he stood up, showing the confidence that he had in his decisions.

He thought that it had made his point very clear.

”Terence, for the last time, listen to me carefully. It's not too late and it won't hurt either of you. Just divorce Carla and this will be over with!”

Edmund heaved a deep sigh. In reality, he didn't want to see them divorce. He actually found it in him long ago to have some affection for Carla as a father-in-law.

However, if Carla couldn't give birth to an heir, Edmund was afraid that it would create a lot of problems and delays for Terence.

All of a sudden, a loud bang was heard throughout the room.
