Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 211

Noah started to wonder if it was still worthy to pursue her.

She only cared about one man and unfortunately, that man wasn't him. Should he continue to invest his time and energy on her?

All the efforts that he had given since day one were to sweep Carla off her feet. One day, he was hoping that it would be enough to make her fall in love with him.

At that time, he could finally officially reveal her true identity to Allen.

If she became his woman, it wouldn't matter whatever Allen decided. And finally, he could win the game.

But the reality was that all of Carla's heart belonged to Terence.

And he didn't have that much time left to wait.

"Mr. Noah, what if Terence knows about Carla's true identity all this time? That's why he keeps her to himself,"

the man beside Todd said out of nowhere.

At that idea, Todd was suddenly alarmed and he went on to tap on his thigh in contemplation. He then stated, "If that's the case, things will become even more difficult. This girl is a nobody right now, but with the An family backing her up, things can be really tricky.

If Mr. Allen decides to give all of his money and properties to this girl Carla, it will be easy for us to get it from her by pulling some strings. But if the An family is involved, it's going to be more complicated. The worst case scenario would be that everything that is owned by the Hua family goes to them."

While analyzing the current situation, Todd became more and more anxious.

The clock was ticking. Allen's health condition was deteriorating day by day. The doctor said that he might not make it in three months.

"No, that's impossible!"

Noah clenched his fists, eyes piercing into the dark of the night to a far away distance.

How could he give up the company that he had put his heart and soul his entire life?

They had to kill him first for that to happen.

Meanwhile

at Seaview Villa, Carla didn't want to go to sleep and kept on insisting to go to the beach to watch the night view.

Terence felt that her idea was terrible. It was dark at the beach and not even a star was hanging in the sky that night. There was literally nothing to enjoy.

"I don't care. I just want to go!" Carla demanded. She knew that she wouldn't be able to go to sleep until they went to the beach.

"Okay fine, let's go," Terence defeatedly said. Feeling helpless, Terence had no choice but to agree. He asked Nathan to prepare the tent and everything that they would need.

Terence thought that the wind was strong at the beach. So if she got tired, she would have a place to rest.

Nathan accompanied Carla and Terence to the beach. He set up the tent as soon as they arrived.

Carla sat beside the tent, wrapped her arms around her knees and looked up at the sky. Several stars began to emerge in the dark night as if they knew she was watching them.

Carla leaned on Terence's shoulder, enjoying the night view and listening to the sound of the waves.

"Hmm, Terence?" Carla whispered, gaining Terence's attention. She continued, "About the ring that I asked you to investigate, is there any news?"

She remembered that Andrea was wearing a similar necklace when they met at the hospital in HA City.

Terence, on the other hand, didn't expect drunk Carla to think about that.

"Yes, there's some news. It seems that a rich friend of your father gave it to him. As to why your father kept it, I'm still investigating about that,"

Terence said, patting her on the shoulder.

He added, "Although, it would be easy to understand why he would do that. Your father was a nice person. Perhaps he didn't want to sell a gift from a friend, so he kept it. That would make sense, right?"

Carla looked up and stared at his beautiful eyes. She then stated, "But, I've never heard that my father has a rich friend."

"Do we really know everything about our parents? We're still investigating why someone would give such a valuable thing to your father. It all happened a long time ago, so I need more time to figure it all out,"

Terence responded vaguely. He couldn't tell her the truth, so he gave her just enough information to appease her suspicions.

However, Terence knew that he could only hide the truth from her for as long as he could. He didn't know when the secret would be exposed. All he knew was that when that day finally came, she would definitely leave him.

It was obvious that the Hua family would take her back when they found out that she was their daughter.

"What could the reason be?" Carla murmured to herself. She lay on his thigh and looked up. More and more stars started to emerge, blinking in the dark sky.

'Even if they were best friends, how could he give such a valuable gift?

Besides, father never really mentioned anything about it, ' Carla thought deeply.

With the cool gentle breeze from the sea, Carla closed her eyes and soon enough, she fell asleep.

Terence let out a sigh of relief. He carefully took her in his arms and headed for the car.

But Carla sensed it even when she was asleep. Burying herself in his embrace, she mumbled, "I don't want to go back. I want to sleep in the tent. Nathan set up the tent for us very diligently. We shouldn't just leave it."

"Silly girl, do you think it's comfortable to sleep in the tent?" Terence laughed but he turned around to put her back in the tent.

Right then, Carla opened her eyes. She sleepily looked at the tent as she lay on the soft mattress. "It is comfortable. You have the sea and the starry night sky. How romantic this is!" Carla exclaimed.

Terence lay beside her and just stared at her, smiling. He turned her chin so that she was looking at him and said in a flirtatious tone, "It seems like you're still not tired. Do you want me to do something to make you sleep better?"

"No! Go away!" Carla pushed him away with her fist. How could he be so needy?

Terence grabbed her tiny fists and turned off the lamp. Within seconds, he kissed her precisely on the lips.

Before the dawn fully broke in the sky, Carla was wakened up while she was still dreaming.

She was extremely tired. All she wanted to do was to toss the person that woke her up into the sea and have him be eaten by a shark.

But when she opened her eyes, she saw sunlight trying to make their way through the clouds There were streaks of yellows and oranges and even purples and pinks. She was instantly in awe by the magnificent view.

Terence squinted when he felt someone kicking him several times. He had no choice but to get up, helped her up and took her out of the tent. Nathan had already set the chairs at the front, waiting for them to enjoy the sunrise.

Carla stepped on the sand barefoot, jumping up and down like a child. She was trying to absorb every bit of the view. As the sun rose, her face lit up as well, as if she was glowing.

"Terence, it's so beautiful! We live by the sea, but it's my first time seeing this!" Carla exclaimed.

'How many beautiful sunrises have I missed? What a waste!' she thought.

Terence blinked numerous times as the sunlight became stronger. He watched Carla dance happily on the beach with a smile so bright that could rival with the sun itself. Walking towards her, he said, "Better late than never, right? As long as you want to, I can be here to watch the sunrise with you every single day!" He gazed at her lovingly and giggled quietly. He knew that she was not the type to get up so early in the morning.

Carla turned around and looked at him.

Her long hair was a little messy from sleeping. But she appeared more beautiful with the soft sunlight casting on her face.

With the glow, she smiled, unconsciously casting a charming spell on Terence's mind. She looked like a goddess who fell down from heaven to grace the earth with her presence. And at that moment, it was only for Terence.

Yes, Carla was indeed a gift from God to him.

Then, he suddenly remembered something and turned to give Nathan a signal. Nathan immediately handed him the phone.

Terence turned the camera towards her. Sensing what Terence was doing, Carla smiled sweetly at him.

When he was satisfied with the number of pictures he had taken, Terence picked one that he liked the most and set it as his phone's wallpaper. He looked at her beautiful profile, smiled in satisfaction and walked towards her.

"Carla, let's go. We should go home," he told her.

The sun was already up by then. In a few moments, it wouldn't be healthy for their skin.

"Okay!" she agreed, still in bliss from the view. Terence grabbed Carla's hand as she continued to play with the sand and waves one last time.

She took a final look at the sea and went home with him, a part of her unwilling to leave.
