Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 114

"You should take some rest so that your wounds can heal up faster. I consulted with your doctor and he told me that you still need to be under observation for at least one more day. If you're feeling better by tomorrow, then maybe you can get discharged from the hospital. For now, please take a good night's rest. I'll be heading out first!"

Terence informed her as he grabbed her hands and took them off of him.

Bonnie desperately wanted to pull him back closer, but she decided it would be best if she didn't. That man didn't like to be bound tightly by anyone and she knew that full well.

"... Well, would you be back tomorrow to come and pick me up?" Bonnie softly said, lowering her head and looking so down.

"I'm not sure yet. I'll see. If I have the time, I'll come over tomorrow and fetch you myself. But in case I don't, I'll have Nathan come by," Terence answered in a deadpan tone, looking her in the eyes.

Bonnie didn't say a word, but she just bobbed her head gently.

Listening to sound of his footsteps growing softer, Bonnie carefully went back to her sick bed feeling so miserable and helpless.

There was just no way she'd let it slip. She had to find out no matter what who the woman who smeared chili oil all over her face today was. No chance in hell she'd let her off lightly!

...

Carla went back to her apartment carrying a large bag of groceries on her hand. It was currently four o'clock in the afternoon, which meant Sean would be coming home from school in just about an hour.

She headed straight toward the kitchen to store the perishable goods in the refrigerator, and then she proceeded to wash the fruits and put them on the table.

After that, she went ahead and washed the rice, and placed it on the rice cooker.

Sean was steadily getting bigger, so he usually shouted "Hungry" as soon as he got back home from school. So, basically, what Carla usually did was to prepare the meals early so that by the time Sean arrived, the food would be just the right temperature for him and he could go ahead and eat immediately.

After she was done preparing the food, Carla had nothing else left to do, so she decided to take a bath first and intended to go to sleep a bit early.

She just came by yesterday and she was barely able to get any sleep at all last night, so she was feeling a little lethargic and drowsy.

When Carla came out of the bathroom after she was done taking a shower, she was wearing nothing except for a bath towel. She was startled when she noticed a man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed in the living room and casually watching the financial news. It was none other than Terence.

The moment Terence heard her coming out from the bathroom, he instinctively looked away from the TV and focused his gaze upon her and their eyes met.

"You... How the heck were you able to find me?"

Carla was frozen in place by the bathroom door out of surprise, 'How can this man come and go anywhere he pleases with such ease?'

Terence's eyes wandered all over her body without even attempting to hide it. Putting the remote control down on the table, he stared at her with a devilish grin, "This is JA City, and it's my territory. Of course, I'll be able to quickly find anything that I want."

And just as he said, he was easily able to get a hold of the key to her apartment.

"You've come just in time. Sean was able to adapt quickly to his new school. If he dose like the new environment, he can just directly transfer to the school, and you won't need to go back to BH City anymore. Isn't that great?"

Terence remarked, looking at her idly standing still at the bathroom door. After telling her about how he had planned things for Sean, he bounced up from the sofa and began pacing toward her.

"And you, on the other hand... You are still much too young to run off your feet to work. There's always the option of taking a refresher course if you really want to improve your performance. If you choose to do so and still want to work, then you'll be able to do a better job without ending up feeling so stressed."

He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, slowly pulled her closer, and then held her snuggly in his arms.

Wrapping the towel tightly and holding onto it, Carla looked up at him and said, "So, you sure you won't mind that I don't have a good degree under my belt?"

Actually, his proposals were like music to her ears, just exactly what she wanted.

When she was still in college, her family had been going through so much changes that her studies was the one that took the heaviest impact. Precisely due to that reason, she had always felt sorry for neglecting her studies.

He instantly leaned over and gently kissed her small luscious lips, "I didn't even mind your delivery job. Do you think I'll mind something like this? I wouldn't care what it is that you do, for as long as I can have you here. I'll just work on it and find something for you to do."

Terence replied. Then, he stooped a little and swiftly lifted her in his arms and headed quickly toward the bedroom.

At that moment, she noticed that he had brought with him a big bag. It was just lying on the ground in living room.

The bag was partly opened, so when she caught a glimpse of what was inside, she saw that it was actually full of her clothes.

She realized that Terence had actually already hung some of the clothes up in the wardrobe. Taking out a silk nightgown, he handed it over to her and softly said, "I thought since you would be staying here for a month, you might need these. So I brought over some clothes for you to wear."

Carla looked into the wardrobe and she saw that he filled it with clothes that would be just perfect for this season. With just a single glance, she could tell there were more than 20 sets of different clothes which filled the whole wardrobe.

Would it really be alright to still call that "some"?

"You don't have to look like that. Please don't act surprised. As my future wife, you only deserve the best treatment possible, so it would be best for to learn to get used to it little by little." Terence explained as he was looking at her after hanging up the clothes and closing the wardrobe.

The words were already at the tip of her tongue, but she instantly swallowed them. Holding the nightgown in her hands, she was getting ready to walk over to Sean's room to get changed.

"Why do you have to go to Sean's room? What for?"

Terence asked, suddenly grabbing her hands and closing the door, and then looking at his expensive-looking brown wristwatch, he remarked "There's still twenty minutes before Sean leaves school, so there's plenty of time for you to change."

"I'm aware of that, so I'm gonna go to Sean's room to change quickly!"

Carla retorted, looking a bit confused.

But he grinned and crossed his arms on his chest, leaning back against the door and looking at her as he let out a cunning smile.

"You can just go ahead and change here. There's no need for you to go anywhere else!"
