Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 169

Up on her feet and carefully staying still on the staircase, Carla glanced down at Terence. She then forced out a cough and rested her hand on her flat midriff, acting as if she were expectant.

"What do you think you're doing there just standing still? Get up here and hold my hand while I go down the stairs. If I accidentally fall, it might be bad for our baby."

Just a couple of minutes beforehand, Terence actually went ahead and told his father that Carla was carrying his baby.

Upon hearing that, Terence instantly knew that she was pulling his leg. Feeling quite amused, he couldn't help but burst into laughter as he walked up toward her to offer his hand and assist her carefully as she went down the stairs. "All I said was imply that he'll be having a grandson soon enough. It's not like I literally told him you're already pregnant now. It was just that my father interpreted it the wrong way. He just took it at face value when I told him about his grandson."

As soon as she came downstairs, Carla immediately headed for the kitchen to grab a bottle of yogurt from the fridge and enjoy it on the sofa. "But your father already thinks that's what you really meant to say. Sooner or later, he's bound to figure out that you lied to him. For now, what do you plan to do about it? I'm dead sure he'll be so pissed when he finds out."

"We'll just deal with it when the time comes. If nothing else, at least we can be at ease for the next couple of months without having to worry about it." Terence remarked, lounging right beside Carla.

Carla's legs were feeling quite sore, so she hoisted them up and rested them on Terence's knees, leaning against the sofa while holding a pillow. As she leisurely drank the sour but sugary yogurt she stated, "Give it maybe three or four months, he'll be onto us and realize that I'm not pregnant. What kind of excuse are we going to tell him?"

Subsequently, after Carla voiced out her concerns, Terence softly smiled and quickly ran his eyes over her stomach as he was massaging the back of her legs.

"Don't even think about it! I'm not going to be having any of your babies, at least not until we get married," Carla asserted. Before Terence could even say Jack Robinson, she had already covered her stomach and gave Terence a threatening look, having a hunch about what was going through his mind.

"I also wouldn't want you to have a baby while you're still young. There's an appropriate time for things like that," Terence added. Noticing how Carla was beginning to get a bit high strung, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Relishing the thought that the two of them had already gone all the way, Terence just couldn't get enough of Carla. Who could blame him though? She was his very first. And if Carla were to really get knocked up, they wouldn't be able to do the deed for the next nine months. At this point, there was no way he could endure something like that.

Else, he wouldn't have gone through the lengths of asking Nathan to buy lots of condoms for them to use.

"I'll come up with something and handle it, so you should stop getting so worked up," Terence reassured her, still gently massaging the back of her thighs.

Terence was so good at keeping the pressure he applied in check, and this caused Carla to feel much more comfortable. Leaning against the soft pillow she placed behind her, she closed her eyes and basked in the glory of having "The" Terence An massage her legs.

Moments after that, Carla happened to open her eyes and incidentally glanced at his hand. Then, she noticed that it was sneakily inching closer and closer to her crotch. "My legs are already feeling better. That's enough!"

Carla exclaimed, so afraid that if she didn't do anything to stop him, he would get too turned on from touching her.

It was clear as day to Terence what she was panicking about. Beaming her a smile, he said, "It seems that you won't be able to go out later this afternoon. I've already set an appointment with Theo to go horseback riding sometime after lunch. You should just go and take this time to stay at home and rest."

The second he was done blabbering, Carla furiously squashed the yogurt box she had been holding.

"Why bother telling me now if you don't want me to go with you anyway? It wouldn't have hurt for you to tell me that you had prior plans for this afternoon,"

Carla sulked. As it turned out, she had really been looking forward to coming with Terence. And the truth was that she really loved to play.

"That isn't true. You know I won't ever lie to you, right?" Pinching her cheek as he was smiling at her, Terence continued, "I swear I'll make it up to you. Please just wait for me at the Villa. I'll bring you some good food when I get home tonight."

"I don't care about whatever food you'll bring me!" Carla retorted, glowering at Terence. It looked like she was just honestly so eager to go out and have some fun with him.

She was dying to finally do something leisurely outdoors, but her body disagreed and was convincing her not to go.

Terence's teasing abruptly came to a halt upon seeing Carla looking a bit down in the dumps. "Fine. You can come with me. But when we arrive there, make sure not to walk around the area. Just have a seat somewhere and appreciate the view, okay?"

'In any case, I would need to ask Nathan to bring us in the RV. If we do that, she'd be able to squeeze in some time to rest on our way there.

When we arrive, I have to be certain that she'll only be going for walks as little as possible. Anyway, she can just lounge around and enjoy the view. That way, she won't risk getting herself exhausted," Terence thought, carefully laying out his plans.

Being quite pleased that she was able to convince Terence to let her go, Carla simply smiled at him and bobbed her head to everything he said.

That afternoon, when they finally arrived at the racecourse, Carla felt so contented to be able to come alongside Terence.

It seemed as if the green grass extended far into the horizon. The horses were visibly in high spirits. And the atmosphere just felt so relaxing and invigorating.
