Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 149

Nathan uttered not a single word after saying that.

He just took a wild guess based on the conversation he had with Bryant, nothing but speculations.

This caused Terence to give him a cold stare. Pausing for a brief moment, Terence replied, "You're wrong. It couldn't be Noah. I think it was his two brothers."

Noah wasn't the kind of guy who would be stupid enough to do something like that.

And even if Noah, for some reason, were to really commit a crime, for sure, he would plan it so perfectly that no one would be able to find a trace.

All Bonnie wanted to do was to get Carla as far away from Terence as possible out of her intense jealousy. It was not like she wanted to physically hurt her. But that mysterious person seemed to have truly wished for Carla to die.

"Let's take this one step at a time. The state of affairs with the Hua family is getting rather complicated. So, we have to make sure we do this slowly but surely," Terence remarked, letting out a lengthy sigh. Looking around the room, he noticed that there was a pack of cigarettes just lying on the table. He then reached out his hand to take it since he was beginning to get pretty stressed and uneasy now.

However, the second he grabbed it, he simply decided to put it down immediately.

Knowing full well that Carla didn't like the smell of cigarettes, he didn't want to risk displeasing her when they saw each other again later.

"But we need to put an end to this. I can't take my engagement with Bonnie any longer. I can't bear to watch Carla suffer because of it," Terence said to himself as he repeatedly tapped the table with his fingers, still deep in thought. At least, he should find a way to get rid of other people's notion of him having a fiancee.

If he just let things stay the way they were and continued being with Carla like that, it would just be such an insult to them both.

"Do you have any updates regarding the matter with Bonnie's ex-boyfriend that I asked you to run a background check a couple of days ago?" Terence asked anxiously.

Nathan nodded affirmatively, "I was able to track his whereabouts. As of the moment, he is still abroad. But I got word that he has already arranged a return trip, so I'm sure he'll be back here before long."

Terence nodded, feeling quite satisfied with the progress. A hint of cruelty visibly flashed through his eyes. "That's great news! This time, I'll be sure to let her know what 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth' truly means!" he sneered, looking forward to what was going to happen next.

The last thing left for him to unravel now was the baffling threat within the Hua family. It didn't matter who that person might be. All he knew was that whatever it took, he needed to find him and get rid of him without fail, so that Carla could come back to the Hua family without incident. There was no way he would ever allow Carla to live under such a huge threat.

Even though it was a task that might prove to be difficult, it was something that he was hell-bent on carrying out by any means necessary.

After having such a traumatizing near-death experience, Carla had finally loosened up a bit. Moreover, she and Terence went through a lot that she was now feeling distressed, so much that she was totally spent.

From noon up until the evening, all she could do was sleeping in her bed due to being extremely worn out.

By the time she woke up, she had an entirely different look on her.

Letting out a lengthy yawn, Carla stretched out her arms. She scrambled on the bed to find her phone, and upon checking it, she realized that it was already past 6 o'clock in the evening.

She immediately got up from the bed, getting ready to take a shower before having dinner. After she was done, she picked out a pretty cotton beige dress to wear. Drying her hair first before anything else, she then wore the dress casually and walked out of the room.

She wore a pair of flip flops and headed downstairs feeling a little hungry.

She had actually intended to grab something to eat in the kitchen, but what welcomed her upon coming down was the sight of Bonnie.

Bonnie was sitting quite close to Terence. As far as she could tell, she was complaining about something. Carla clearly saw her beautiful eyes filled with so much tears dripping down her cheek.

In her mind, Carla tried to hold herself back from snorting. Quite frankly, Bonnie did have some merits that she sincerely admired. She always took the initiative to confront the challenges in front of her whenever she was faced with one, instead of going for the cowardly route and evading it.

Carla had undergone so much suffering for no reason, so it was really hard for her to convince herself that Bonnie had nothing to do with what happened.

Carla simply ignored her and headed straight toward the kitchen to grab a box of yogurt from the fridge. As she was about to go upstairs back to her room, Bonnie stopped her in her tracks and abruptly called her, "Carla! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

With her face seeming so distressed, Bonnie took Carla's hand and exclaimed, "You know what? I was worried sick! The news circulated all throughout the city and it even caused unrest to a lot of people. I came here immediately as soon as I heard about it.

I didn't want to disturb you because you were sleeping the moment I got here. How are you feeling now? I can't begin to imagine the stress that you must've been in. Are you all right?"

If Carla didn't know better, she would have been fooled by the concerned look on Bonnie's face, but the manic glint in her eyes easily gave her away. It was as if they were telling her, "You must have been freaked out and scared to death. Damn right, you should be! Going through something like that should be more than enough to teach you a lesson." However, the words she said was clearly far from what she truly felt. It was amazing how she could act like that in front of Carla.

She feigned her concern and acted as if her tears had really been shed for Carla when they both knew full well that wasn't the case.
