Chapter 42 Brother-inw
"Race, what''s up?"
"Mr. Terence, I have something to tell you. After Mr. Rhys came back yesterday, he spread the news of
what happened with you and Miss Ca to the whole An family. Even your father has heard about it
now. Mr. Nichs asked me to call you and tell you to be careful.
You also know your father''s temper very well. At present, he has sent people to investigate Miss Ca''s
background. I''m afraid that he''ll being for you soon enough..."
Race informed him over the phone.
The Mr. Nichs that Race mentioned was Terence''s grandfather.
And Terence''s father was Edmund An.
Now that the condition of the Ans becameplicated, it became too difficult to exin everything with
just a few words.
Upon hearing the news from Race, Terence was left speechless.
After pondering over it for a while, he finally spoke, "I got it. Ask grandfather to take a good rest. I will
go back to visit him in a couple of days."
"Okay, I will inform him. Mr. Terence, Mr. Nichs also told me to ask you one more question. Are you
serious this time?" Race remarked.
Nichs told Race to ask this question just to be sure of the fact. If Terence really loved Ca and was
serious about this matter, he could help him n what to do and prepare in advance.
If not, Ca, without precaution, might get end up in a difficult situation as getting involved with the An
family was full of danger.
Well, there might be also a chance that she could still be safe, but only if Terence tried his best to
protect her.
"Yes,"
Terence uttered gently, stealing a nce at Ca sitting beside him.
After hanging up the phone, Terence gradually looked out of the window, his mouth twisting into a wry
smile.
By rights, parents might show the greatest affection for the youngest son and dote on him the most, but
Terence''s father didn''t like Terence very much even though he was the youngest son.
On the contrary, Terence''s grandfather was the one who had always treated him very well.
Terence''s father didn''t have as many connections and as high a positionpared to that of his
grandfather''s, so he wouldn''t ever dare to take action to against him. And in this way, Terence could
grow up safely and smoothly in the family.
"Terence, what''s wrong?" Sean shook Terence''s hand after seeing him stay silent, wondering whether
someone told him something unpleasant over the phone.
"Is everything okay? Did the person you were talking to through the phone say something to displease
you?"
Sean asked, his voice filled with so much concern. Wearing a smile, Terence turned toward Sean and
Ca who silently looked at him with a worried expression in her eyes.
"Hey. You''ve already epted the gift I gave you, but why do you still call me ''Terence''?" Terence said
jokingly, poking Sean''s nose. "So, have I just wasted my gift this time?" he added.
Scratching his head, Sean chuckled and secretly nced at Ca. Then, he wittily replied, "I call you
''Terence'' because I treat you as not only my brother-inw, but also my best friend forever! So I think I
can call you whatever I like."
In fact, he actually thought that it would be okay to call Terence his ''brother-inw'' whenever there
were only a few people with them, and that he should call him ''Terence'' in front of many others.
After all, Ca and Terence hadn''t been married yet, so Sean believed that he might cause
unnecessary misunderstandings if he referred to Terence in such a special way.
And if so, he might also get Ca in trouble because of that then.
"You can call me whatever you like."
Terence knew what Sean was thinking and worrying about. Turning to look at Ca who still kept silent,
he took her hand and asked, "What''s wrong? What''s bothering you?"
Ca stopped being absorbed into her own thoughts and looked out of the window. "I wonder why the
destination is so far away from us. We set out a long time ago, but we still haven''t arrived."
"It''s a bit far. JA City is quiterge, and many interesting scenic spots, where people can have fun, are
located in the suburbs, so it takes some time to get to the south of the citying from the north,"
Terence exined, gradually entwining his fingers with Ca''s.
Watching as their hands were about to sp together, Ca tried to struggle and pull her hand away
from him, but Terence held her hand much more tightly.
"See, if you try to escape from my grasp, I will hold your hand more tightly, and you will only end feeling
even more ufortable. If you keep rxed and stay beside me obediently, not anxious to escape,
both of us can feel secure and veryfortable,"
Terence whispered in Ca''s ear with a smile.
Rolling her eyes, Ca felt annoyed and thought that Terence just kept on trying to persuade her all the
time. —
After a while, they finally arrived at their first tourist destination.
Since Sean was still a kid and liked ying very much, Terence chose to take them to the JA City
Maritime Museum, which had thergest aquarium in the country.
Not only could people dive under the water there, but they could also get close to the marine animals.
Besides, it was a good chance for people to have fun while learning so many things about the ocean.
"Sean, don''t run too fast!"
Now that it was the first time that Sean had seen so many marine animals, he ran forward joyfully, not
able to contain his excitement.
"Don''t worry. Rainer will follow him around." When Ca was about to run towards Sean, Terence took
her hand and shifted his chin, motioning her to look ahead.
At this moment, Ca realized that Rainer kept following Sean around. She breathed a sigh of relief
and then turned to look toward the bodyguard behind Terence. He was tall, thin, and dark-skinned,
while Rainer was white-skinned.
"Are they twins? They look like each other. And if the colors of their skin were even the same, I''m afraid
I can''t tell them from each other."

Ca had always been confused of this matter, but she just couldn''t find a chance to ask Terence about
it.
"Well, Nathan is Rainer''s elder brother. At the beginning, I also couldn''t distinguish them from each
other, so Nathan purposefully got a suntan just to let me tell them from each other easily,"
Terence uttered, smilingly casting a nce at Nathan who was following them in silence.
Ca had no idea whether what Terence said was true or not, so she took a careful look at Nathan who
seemed serious with a straight face. He was tall and thin, walking with his back straight all the time. His
eyes kept looking forward, while his ears paid attention to whatever was happening around them.
"They were my grandfather''s bodyguards before, and although they were often sent to protect me
before, they didn''t always stay with me every day. After I was attacked and harmed by othersst time,
my grandfather decided to make them be my bodyguards,"
Terence continued, walking alongside Ca.
"Oh." Ca wanted to ask just now, why he had been attacked and chased by others in BH City even
though Nathan and Rainer were by his side. Now, she found out that when he got assaulted at that
time, Nathan and Rainer hadn''t been sent to be his bodyguards yet.
Noticing that Sean had already seen most of the marine animals and had been ying for quite a
while, Terence asked people to prepare the diving suits, intending to go for a dive with Sean.
Atst, Terence fixed his eyes on Ca.
"You really don''t want to join us?"
Ca shook her head. Indeed, she actually really wanted to go for a dive with them, but there were so
many wild fish in the water. And as a woman who never had such an experience, whenever she got
close to so many animals, she got so afraid of them.
"No. I can just take photos of you instead! Sean, remember to strike some poses under the water. I will
take photos of you and get the pictures developed to paste them on the wall."
With these words, Ca greeted Sean as he was wearing the diving suit.
After Sean made a gesture informing them that he was ready, he went under the water with Terence
assisting him.
Followed by Rainer, Ca went to the bottom viewing area of the aquarium to wait for them to dive
under the water.
She took out the camera and tried to take a few photos of other ces to properly adjust the shooting
angle.
Right then, through the camera, Ca noticed a middle-aged man wearing a business suit and tie
approaching her.
