Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 87

Meanwhile, in BH city, a storm was brewing although it was a beautiful day and the sun was shining brightly.

Something unexpectedly was coming Carla and Sean's way and none of them were ready for it.

After Sean got back from school, he walked into the entrance and threw his bag on the floor. Carla could see he wasn't himself. He seemed very sad and looked like he wanted to cry.

She walked out of the kitchen and wiped her wet hands on her jeans as she took a look at her brother and asked, "Sean? What happened at school today? Who stole your sunshine?"

Sean looked up at Carla with tears in his eyes, "Jeremy was so mean to me today. He laughed at me and told me that I was lying about what I said at the parents' meeting." Sean looked tired and leaned on the couch for support.

Carla frowned, "What lie? Why would he say such a thing? What...what's going on?" Since Carla completely forgot the speech Sean had made that day, she couldn't seem to understand why Jeremy would be so mean to her brother.

Sean remained silent for a short while and was trying to think about how to tell her.

He slowly mumbled, "Do you still remember when we had the parents' meeting? I told the whole class that you and Terrence were going to get married and that I was going to be his brother-in-law. I don't know how they found out that Terence was going to married someone else. As soon as I walked into the classroom this morning, everyone started laughing at me.

They said that I was delusional and Terence would never choose us because all we want is his money, not him."

Jeremy's parents were both working at big firms. They were always the first to hear about the juicy gossip that made its way through the city. That explained how Jeremy got to hear about Terrence's engagement.

News spread fast in BH City. Carla realized that everyone had probably heard about it by now.

Carla couldn't help but notice how sad it made Sean.

It made her sad to see that her little brother had to pay the price for her mistakes. Her heart started to break when she realized that she was the reason everyone laughed at him. It was all her fault.

She wished that she could care less about strangers because she could have just left Terence where she found him and carried on with her life. If she could just let the sleeping dog lie, it would have saved her so much troubles and heartbreaks.

Carla put her hand on Sean's shoulder, trying to comfort him. She said tenderly, "Sean, sweetheart. Don't worry too much about it, will you? Trust me, they will get tired of it eventually when another news comes. If they have to talk about it, let them talk. Sean, don't let their attitudes get to your head. You are the man of this house now and I need you to be strong."

She didn't know what else she could say to cheer this little man up so she decided to replace her sadness with a super bright smile and be strong for him, leading him out of the darkness.

Carla didn't want him to think about this anymore so she instantly changed the subject after her little speech. "Hey! Dinner is ready. Now I want you to put a smile on that dial. Go wash your hands and let's eat!."

If only Carla knew that why she had been so special to Terence.

If she didn't go back with her scooter and try to find him that night, things would have been completely different. They wouldn't have met each other again and Terence wouldn't have known that she was the one he wanted.

Sometimes, things were meant to happen and no one knew what God had in store for them. There was a reason why she was out that night when she found him, saved him and took him home. Everything was supposed to happen the way it did.

She came right into his heart when he needed it the most.

When Terence was ready to leave, he didn't want to. Instead, he wanted to stay with her. Though Carla felt exactly the same, she had to be the bad woman and killed the affections they had for each other because she knew that their relationship would never work out.

After they finished eating dinner, Carla went to the kitchen and cleaned up the rest of the mess.

As she was finishing up the rest of her chores, the phone rang in her apron pocket.

Carla took her phone out to see who it was and frowned when she saw the name on the screen.

Carla answered the phone and tossed four words to the person, "I am busy, bye." Then, she hung up straight after. It was Terence and she wasn't going to give him a chance to say a word.

Suddenly, she remembered that he claimed that he was coming to BH City and he wanted to meet up with her. Carla knew that he could be somewhere close, breathing the same air as her.

Speaking of which, someone knocked on the door right after she hung up the phone.

Picturing the person standing right behind that door, she ran to the sofa and covered her ears with her hands as she hugged her knees.

She didn't want to face him. Not right now.

Sean also heard the knocking. He saw Carla having a meltdown and immediately guessed who it might be. He jumped off the sofa with excitement and ran to the door.

Sean opened the door and saw a familiar face standing in the doorway. The peer attacks and sadness he had been through the whole day instantly disappeared. He cried out in excitement, "Terence! I can't believe you are here!

Pinch me! I must be dreaming."
