Love is the Sunshine

She gazed into the old man's eyes and listened intently.

"The solution is, to have a child with Terence! The sooner, the better!"

Nicholas' tone and expression were serious.

"But—," Carla uttered in shock.

"That way, things will be set in concrete. You have my full support and nobody can separate you after that!" Nicholas explained confidently.

Carla sat in shock staring at Nicholas. After she regained her composure she smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, we're not even married yet. Isn't it too early to even speak of a child?"

"Exactly my point. That's why I suggest having a child as soon as possible. If you want your happy life with Terence to come earlier, this is a shortcut to it." Nicholas smiled and patted her hand. "Carla, I don't have a great-grandchild yet. Terence's eldest brother is in NF now. And even though Rhys is engaged, he is unlikely to have a child any time soon, since he's still a playboy.

What's more, Terence is the only legitimate heir who is recognized by the whole family. His child will be the most anticipated and welcomed!

Both Marcus and Rhys are bastards. Even though they are also successors legally, they will never become the heir of the An family.

Apart from the law, an heir must also be recognized by the three branches of the An family.

It's a family tradition that has been passed down for centuries. Even Edmund has to comply with it, let alone Marcus and Rhys."

"But, Grandpa— Isn't the reason why Marcus and Rhys are not recognized that they were children born out of wedlock? If Terence and I have a child before we are married, wouldn't our child have the same status as theirs?"

Carla bit her lower lip and couldn't help asking.

"Carla, you little fool! How can it be the same? They ended up like that because Edmund didn't want to marry their mother in the first place. But you and Terence are different. You love each other and he can ask to marry you when you are pregnant. Your child will still be legitimate and it doesn't contradict to our family rule,"

Nicholas patiently explained it to her.

Carla thought for a while. Initially, she thought Nicholas' suggestion seemed a bad one. However, after giving it some more thought, it did actually make sense. The idea had never crossed her mind before, but now, she was seriously considering his bold proposal. Although this wasn't the result that she wanted at all.

"Grandpa, please stay and have lunch with me. I have already asked the chef to prepare some dishes that you like." She wanted to shift the topic as soon as possible.

Nicholas smiled and nodded.
