Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 185

completely unaware of the fact that Carla had actually gone in before them.

She tried to haul Johnny back in, but he had already lost interest upon being interrupted. He pushed her away and sorted himself out before heading out first.

In the hall, Terence saw her coming from a mile away.

"You're finally back!" he exclaimed as she walked closer.

Terence took a quick peep at her waist. Although the finish wasn't anything great, at the very least, it wasn't easily noticeable anymore. He signaled to the waiter and then he promptly handed a bag over to him.

Out of curiosity, Carla opened it and saw a fresh dress inside the bag. She naturally smiled and told him, "I'll just change into it after we have lunch."

"You may do as you please," Terence replied. Then, he proceeded to serve a plate of his own beefsteak for her, which he had already cut into bite-sized pieces. Terence didn't really care what she wore. All that mattered was whether she felt comfortable wearing it.

Spending quite some time laboring on her dress, Carla was actually quite starving by the time she returned to their table, so she gladly basked in the full flavor of the beefsteak.

As she was happily enjoying her lunchtime, she suddenly felt someone's eyes piercing right through her. She abruptly looked up to check who it could possibly be, but there was no one standing there.

She tried looking around and found Johnny and his friend sitting at another table. What was strange though, was that the woman she had seen together with him wasn't there with them.

"What is it that you're looking at?" Terence queried as he set the dessert right in front of her at the table.

Carla pointed toward where Johnny was seated and remarked, "See that? The man lost to me last time is also eating here at this restaurant."

Terence looked at the direction where she was pointing and noticed Johnny. Gleaming her a smile, he said, "Carla, please lower down your voice a little. If Johnny could hear how you referred to him as, he'd surely go crazy!"

Johnny was an exceedingly stuck-up and egotistical man.

Losing to any other man wouldn't have been such a big deal. He, however, had been defeated by a woman. And an insult like that would be almost impossible to digest for someone like him.

"Who cares? I'm not scared of saying that straight into his face. I'm merely telling the truth!" Marveling on the various layers of the tiramisu, Carla took a bite and reveled on its scrumptious taste.

All Terence could do was look at her lovingly. An idea suddenly came to him and he asked her, "Come to think of it, where are you going to be staying in HA City? If you would let me, I can go set up an accommodation for you."

Carla simply shook her head as a sign of refusal and answered, "There's no need for you to go to the trouble of doing that. The company I work for has already arranged everything in advance."

Hearing her response, Terence instantly stopped eating and raised his head.
