Chapter 375 What A Coincidence (Part Two)
As he thought of that, he began smiling from ear to ear once more.
Meanwhile, it was such a lovely night in HA City.
Carla didn't think that Noah would readily inform Andrea regarding the news about her pregnancy. So,
she was in deep slumber tonight, wearing a smile on her face, as though she were having such a
pleasant dream.
However, in the morning, as soon as she got up from bed, Andrea got to her home to visit her. There
was a look of excitement and happiness written all over her face after she heard the news that she was
about to be a grandmother. Because she was only able to give birth to a single offspring, she had a bit
of hope that Carla would be the one to make her dream of having several children become fulfilled.
"Callie, please move back home and live together with me, okay? I feel so anxious about you living all
by yourself here now that I know you're carrying a child in your womb."
Andrea didn't get too fired up due to so much exhilaration, and she still had the presence of mind to
convince Carla to move in with her. She thought that it was the only way she would be able to take
good care of Carla and in turn, the baby inside her as well.
"Mother, I'm doing just fine right here. Nola and Vicky are both here to look after me. That would be
more than enough, and I feel safe in this place because of the peaceful surroundings, and besides, I've
already gotten used to living in this house,"
Carla expressed her thoughts. In spite of knowing that Bonnie had not been staying at the Hua
residence for the past couple of days, she was so determined not to move back into that place. If it
were something like simply coming over to the Hua family from time to time, she would have been
more than happy to do so.
"But I won't be able to settle down as long as I keep remembering that you're living on your own here
while Noah is still too preoccupied with running the company. Because of that, he probably wouldn't
have the time to stay and be with you at all times. But wait a second! Speaking of work, there's
something I remembered that I had to tell you. There's no need for you to be in a hurry to become the
marketing manager right away. The thing that we should prioritize right now is for you to get enough
rest at home to keep both you and your child healthy. But, of course, the baby inside your belly should
be given the utmost importance,"
Andrea calmly explained to Carla as she rested the palm of her hand on the back of hers.
After listening to Andrea voice out her concerns, Carla quickly shook her head to decline her offer,
saying, "Mother, I'm not as delicate as you think. In any case, how could I ever get tired from working in
our own company? I just moved up from my previous position, so I can just easily ask my subordinates
to take care of things for me. All I have to do is give some orders in the company. That's nothing too
tiresome.
You're well aware of what I had gone through to reach the position that I'm in at this moment. I have to
take advantage of the opportunities presented to me to make greater contributions to the Hua Group. If
I were to simply give up everything I worked hard for so easily, wouldn't that be such a pity?"
Hearing out what her daughter said, Andrea walked out of her room, checked around the corridor, and
carefully closed the door after making sure that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation.
"I have told you about our plan before in case something happened, Callie. But given the fact that you
are now carrying Noah's child inside you, we could just forget about that plan completely. In the end,
this child belongs to Noah, as well as the Hua family. No matter what, the Hua family will remain safe
with you having this child living safely inside you. Isn't that right, Callie?" Andrea asked calmly.
Carla had her eyebrows deeply knitted after her mother persistently tried to convince her, so she
asked, "Nevertheless, Mother, isn't the plan we discussed simply a last resort for us?"
"That's right. It's just supposed to be the last option if all else fail. But when we talked about it last time,
I was under the assumption that you were still having a hard time trying to forget about Terence, so it
would only be a matter of time before you'd break up with Noah. That was the reason why I thought up
that plan for you. However, now that you're already a few weeks pregnant with Noah's child, it would be
safe to say that this plan could be put aside."
Andrea gave her a piece of her mind, recalling that Carla seemed so down in the dumps during that
time.
Back then, she used to think that if Carla truly hated the thought of being married to Noah, then she
had to find a way to make her beloved daughter get her own happiness no matter what.
Apart from that, she had to make sure that her daughter could be with the one she truly loved, and at
the same time, come up with a way to prevent the Hua family from being ruined. That dilemma put
Andrea between a rock and a hard place. With that in mind, she conceived a plan to make all of that
happen as Carla's last option. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
However, the situation had drastically changed given the fact that Carla was now an expectant mother.
"I don't intend to scrap the plan you came up with at all, Mother,"
Carla frankly told her because she knew that she was going to need Andrea to lend her a hand, now
more than ever. If Andrea were to decide not to keep supporting her any longer, then everything she
worked hard for in the past few days would end up being in vain.
"My poor girl, what do you mean by that?" Andrea appeared as though she still had something more to
say, but from out of the blue, something suddenly occurred to her. Right away, she lowered her head
and had her gaze fixated on Carla's belly.
"Oh, my god! Do you mean to tell me that..."
Covering her mouth with her hand out of shock, Andrea stared at Carla in utter disbelief. It looked as
though a weird idea dawned upon her. 'If she were really carrying Noah's child, there's no way she
would have continued insisting that we should still stick to the original plan.' When she pondered about
that, something popped up in her mind.
"Yes, it's just as what you're thinking right now, Mother. The child I'm carrying is not Noah's. So the
current situation has gotten me backed into a corner, leaving me no other choice but to go on as we
originally planned." Shifting her gaze and staring at the ground below, Carla admitted the truth to her
mother.
She didn't have the courage to tell Noah the truth, but on the other hand, she also couldn't keep
everything from Andrea, not only because she could be of great help to her, but especially for the
reason that she was her mother and she loved her greatly.
Andrea was at a complete loss for words after hearing about the truth. Trying to wrap her mind around
the whole thing moments later, she placed her hand over her chest in an attempt to calm herself down
from the astounding revelation. After catching her breath, she wanted to give Carla a bit of advice.
"You scared me a lot, Callie.
That being said, this might not be such a bad thing after all. If I'm being completely honest, the An
family is not just some random wealthy and powerful family. Now that you have inside you the child of
the An family, there's no doubt that you will have a far happier and brighter future after you have
brought this baby to the world.
That's exactly why you should be taking extreme caution with this child and make sure to keep yourself
healthy. Don't ever forget what I've told you." As she was saying those words, she gently caressing
Carla's belly in the doting way.
Nothing was really fair in the world we live in. The child of the An family was predestined to be born
with a silver spoon and to reach for greatness. And on top of that, Terence was the inheritor of the An
Group, meaning to say that his child would most certainly be cherished and taken good care of.
Silently pondering deep within her heart, Andrea thought, 'It is quite fortunate that God is still watching
over Carla. Despite having to go through so much pain and suffering in the past years, she is about to
welcome such a bright future ahead of her. Thank the heavens!'
Nodding her head in agreement, Carla said, "I'm aware of that, Mother."
"Well, then we shall proceed as we originally planned. You must not let Noah find out about the truth
under any circumstance. And of course, I will also act like I don't know anything. We have to patiently
wait for everything to pass. Is that clear?"
Andrea stretched out her arm to help Carla fix up her hair after reminding her of a few crucial details.
Having been Noah's mother ever since he was still a young boy, she was well aware of what his temper
was like as well as his disposition.
If only he could be reasoned with, then that would be the best scenario. But all things considered, now
that Carla was already carrying Terence's child, there was no going back, and they had no other option
but to go on with the original plan.
