Chapter 596 There Is Only One Hostess In The Family (1/2)

”Who took care of it last time?”

”It was Eunice, She handled it when you were away.”

Carla shot him a glance. ”Why can't she keep handling it then?”

”You're back here now. You should be the one taking care of it. All the An family members and relatives will be at the ancestor-worship ceremony. You need to take the leading role to guide all the females in the family to prostrate before our ancestors.

”That position has been vacant ever since my mother passed away,”

Terence patiently explained.

Carla yawned as she listened. ”Is Eunice okay with it?”

Since this was a sacred tradition of the An family tradition, the lead role would naturally be taken by the hostess.

Carla figured that Eunice had been very much enjoying the glory of the moment.

As the An family was big, countless people would be attending the ceremony. It would be a wondrous sight to behold.

”Although she wasn't happy with it, she can't do anything about this decision,”

Terence said with a frown on his face. He remembered that Nathan had informed him about Lucy and Eunice meeting up in secret.

He didn't have to think too hard to figure out what was on their minds.

It was clearly obvious to him what Eunice wanted to do.

Eunice wanted to help Lucy in order to take Carla down and become the hostess.

Carla leaned her head silently on his shoulder, her eyes closing as she felt his warmth beside her. ”I understand, don't worry about it. I won't let anyone else take away what's mine.”

Shortly after speaking out what she needed to say, silence filled the room and repetitive sounds of breathing could be heard.

”Carla?” Terence gently called her name only to find out she had fallen asleep.

At the beginning, he wanted to warn her about Eunice.

This was because Eunice seemed to be aggravated. After all, in the past, she had always seemed to have a certain mocking temperament against Carla. Ever since she gave birth to a son, she seemed to have forgotten her place in the family.

With these thoughts, the night dwindled by and morning came.
