Chapter 806 Am I Handsome (1/2)
In the evening, Carla was lying down on the bed while speaking on the phone. Several days had passed and Andrea still hadn't bothered to call her yet. So Carla took it upon herself to call her and ask if she was doing alright.
”Mom, what is keeping you busy recently? I've been waiting for you.”
Andrea had offered that she would come to see Carla the other day, but she hadn't kept her promise so far.

As a result of that, Tristan was so angry that he decided not to go through with the wedding at all. He said it was the best we could do, that your brother was willing to give 10% of the shares to him. If her family insists, then this marriage will be deemed impossible.”
Carla was stunned by her words. She played with her daughter's toy rabbit and fiddled with its long ears from time to time.
