Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 107

Carla didn't contribute much to the conversation. The main reason was that there weren't many topics to talk about that she had in common with them. The only subject left for them was children's education.

She had to play the role of Sean's mother, as their real mother had passed away. So Carla was left to do that job and

Sean's education was something she couldn't ignore.

Thus, this became the shared topic between her and the middle-aged women.

The waiter looked at the booking number of Mrs. Jiang and led them to a large table where they could all be seated. The restaurant didn't have a separate VIP private room.

The motto of the restaurant was that all of their guests were VIPs and they didn't differentiate between the classes.

The restaurant was large so there were plenty of seats for choice. The food catered for events like birthday parties, couples or large friend gatherings, and so on.

Guests were all well educated and cultured. Rackets were very rarely seen and people were courteous and spoke in low voices.

Mrs. Jiang had been considerate. She was aware that some people may not enjoy western cuisine and so ordered Chinese food instead. She did a little research before they had arrived at the restaurant and took the liberty of ordering the most delicious and popular food. Virtually all the most recommended meals was ordered from the menu.

Since they were all from BH City and they knew their preference for food from that area, their table manners weren't full of etiquette and they ate heartedly.

"Wow, Mrs. Jiang, the bill amount won't be small,"

said Mrs. Xu, the mother of a girl student who sat at their table. She took the bill and calculated the amount roughly.

Mrs. Jiang laughed and replied, "It's okay. It's a rare opportunity for us all to get together like this. Just eat whatever you like and don't worry about the cost."

"Next time we will treat you, Mrs. Jiang, okay?" Seth's mother said.

Carla stayed quiet most of the time. But she did notice the change in their behavior towards her. They eyed her differently now. Their attitude to her was in total contrast from when they were on the bus.

But she didn't care. They could think about whatever they wanted.

She couldn't explain nor would she either.

At that moment, two couples came out of the elevator.

"Terence, I thought you would stay in Dubai for a few more days. Why did you come back so soon? You had only been away for three days," said Theo, who followed Terence out of the elevator.

"There was nothing fun abroad. I love my own country. It's more comfortable staying here,"

said Terence as he led the way to the restaurant. A waiter came to greet them and Terence simply said, "The same table."

"Certainly. This way please, Mr. Terence." The waiter bowed deeply with respect and led them to the table beside the window.

"I sensed something was wrong. Is it because your fiancee is too boring that you didn't enjoy yourself?" Theo said as he leaned in closer to Terence, while he gave the two women who followed a sidelong glance.

Terence glanced at him coldly. "Theo, when did you start to be so interested in my affairs?"

"I'm always interested in you. You have been with us all these years, but you have never touched a woman. We thought that you would never find a woman, who you could fall head over heels in love with."

Theo gave him a small smile and then sat at his usual spot at the table.

The two women who were chatting and laughing joined them and sat down.

One of the women sat next to Theo.

"Terence," Bonnie called to him softly expecting him to pull the seat out for her. But when he didn't, she sat gracefully by his side.

"Same as the usual for me," Terence mumbled without looking at the menu.
