Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 115

Carla chuckled as she got a glimpse of Terrence.

She turned towards the window, "You are naughty."

However, she didn't insist on going to Sean's room to get changed anymore.

Looking out the window she saw the most beautiful view.

The sun was just starting to fade. There was a glow of different shades of purple, orange and pink that lit up the sky. The clouds were scattered all around, similar to abstract art. It was like a colorful canvas painted by the gods.

Carla had a pink, silk nightgown that had black lace sewn along the edges. She made sure her back was facing Terence and gently slipped it over the towel that was around her body.

After she made sure the nightgown was on properly, she yanked the towel off and turned around to face him.

Terence's mouth dropped to the floor, he had never seen anyone as beautiful as her. The sunset behind her complimented her features and the nightgown accentuated her curvy figure perfectly. At that moment in time, it was just him and her, it was like nothing else existed. Carla's beauty left him breathless.

He couldn't help but compliment her, "Carla you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

He was so content with life. He had everything he ever wanted and he was so glad that he didn't miss it.

Terence walked towards her, grabbed her and hugged her from behind. He kissed her neck and whispered in her ear, "What shall I do to you? Your beauty captivates me. I can't hold it in any longer."

Maybe it was because beauty was in the eye of the beholder. He found her even more beautiful every time he looked at her, and everything she did turned him on. He loved every one of her flaws, even the small mole on her face.

Carla rolled her eyes and shot him a sidewards glance. She stamped on his foot and unraveled herself from him, "Terence, stop. Sean is coming home from school soon.

Terence acted completely oblivious to the fact that she stepped on his foot. He didn't mind the pain. Just as she was about to walk away, he grabbed her, held her even tighter and finally let go when he felt satisfied.

Terence looked at her from her head to her toes and gave her a naughty smile, "I will give you five minutes to put your underwear, otherwise I will put them on for you myself."

Carla's eyes widened at the realization that she wasn't wearing anything under her nightgown. She shrugged her shoulders and quickly went to find underwear in her drawer.

Walking to her, Terence's eyes met hers. He lifted her chin and laid a kiss on her soft pink lips. He looked her at her body once more, smiled and then left the room.

Carla quickly got dressed and walked out of her bedroom.

She walked into the living room and saw Sean was already home. Carla caught him whispering something mysterious to Terrence.

She saw three bowls of congee on the table and some other dishes to complement it. Terence must have ordered those dishes from a restaurant since Carla didn't expect him to join their dinner and it was too late for him to cook.

Carla started to take the glass covers of the rice bowls and glanced up at Sean and Terence that were still talking, "What are you guys talking about? Come sit at the table. Dinner is ready."

The three dishes were, sweet and sour spare ribs, her favorite stir-fried vegetables and Sean's favorite spicy crayfish.

Sean and Terence got up from the couch and walked towards the table, one by one.

Sean glanced at Carla's big smile on her face. She seemed a lot happier than yesterday. He kicked Terence under the table, winked at him and asked, "Terence, did you make up with my sister?"

As Carla heard Sean say that, she coughed and gave him the evil eye. She was not too impressed with him.

He looked at his sister and then back at Terence, "I must tell you, before you came back, Carla was like a sad ghost hanging around the house at midnight. You don't want to imagine my sister like that, believe me! I would have been scared to death if I wasn't brave...Ouch! That hurt!"

Before he could finish his words, Sean felt a sharp pain on his earlobe.

Carla flicked him on the ear and thought, 'This child needs to be taught a lesson. He is very spoiled. How dare he talk about me like that!'

Terence looked at Carla and smiled, his eyes sparkling. He was so in love with her.

Before dinner, Sean told him that Carla had been very depressed and wasn't eating. Terence could see she was thinner than before. He put a ribs in her bowl and said, "Carla, you should eat more."

He was happy that she felt that way about him, but it also made his heartache that she went through so much for him. He now knew that she tried to make him believe different to protect herself and her feelings.

He wished deep down inside that he never put her through so much pain.

Carla buried herself in her food, completely avoiding eye contact with Terrence.

She felt really embarrassed after being exposed by Sean.

She was so determined to make him believe that she was over him and that she moved on. Behind that whole act, she was weak and vulnerable. 'Now that he knows different, will he judge me or even worse, laugh at me?' she thought to herself.

She covered her true feelings with a wall of coldness.

Her ambivalent attitude made her feel stupid, and it was embarrassing that he knew it all now.

After dinner, Clara was just about the clear the table. When she got there to do it, she saw Terence was already busy doing it.

He poured all the leftovers in one plate, then stacked up the plates and carried them to the kitchen in a graceful manner.

Watching Terence clear up, reminded Carla of the old days.

He did the same thing before, when they used to live in a similar two bedroom apartment.

Singing cheerfully, Sean walked through the living room to take a shower. After freshening up, he went to his room to finish his homework.

Before long, he ran out of his room again and said with so much excitement in his voice, "Carla, The No.1 Primary School of JA City is awesome! The teacher who teaches us English, is foreign. I love it so much!

I can't wait to go to gym class and play basketball there. The basketball courts are enormous!"

Carla couldn't help but look at Sean and smile. He was so excited about his new school. All she ever wanted was for him to be happy.

After a while Terence walked out of the kitchen.

He took his phone out and called Nathan who was waiting downstairs, "I left a bag with clean clothes in the car. Please bring them to me."

Hearing what Terence said, Carla looked at him sitting beside her and bit her lip gently.

"Are you going to sleep here tonight?" she asked.

Terence glanced at her and smiled, "It's up to you. Your house, your rules. If you don't want me to stay, then I will go back home later."

Carla shifted her gazed from Terence to the television, lost in thought.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. Terence jumped off the couch and went to fetch his clothes.

Nathan didn't come in, but he just gave Terence his clothes and left.

Terence took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Carla's gaze remained on the television, deep in thought. She wasn't sure how to answer Terence.

Terence soon walked out of the bathroom and walked towards Carla.

She looked up at Terence and said, "Maybe you should go back home today. I think it will be best." Her gaze shifted back to the television.

'Where there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to fear.' Considering what happened in the restaurant earlier, she didn't care if anyone in the building saw him and judged her.

But Terence was different. He was still Bonnie's fiance to the public. She cared about how he spent the night here would affect him and his reputation.

Terence sat beside her and towel dried his hair. He looked at her and put the towel down next to him. Putting his arms around her, he said, "Okay, I will stay."

Carla was slightly confused, "What? She thought that he had misheard what she said.

She argued, "That's not what I said."

Terence gave her a magical smile that lite up the room and said, "A woman in this room tends to say one thing when she means another. I decided to follow the rules of reverse phycology in this particular situation."

"In case you scared my brother-in-law again by staring at him with teary eyes in his bedroom at midnight."

Carla was speechless, 'Stupid Sean! He even told him that?'

Terence continued to say, "Carla you shouldn't be ashamed of your love for me. I promise to cherish you and to love you all my life. You are my Queen and always will be. Your heart is gold and it is priceless. No matter what happens, I will always protect it."

That was true.

She was devoted to him, in all sincerity. For him, that was the most important and precious gift.

She felt humiliated and uncomfortable because she was supposed to be a tough woman, but what Sean said to him exposed her vulnerability. It was a good thing though because if Sean didn't tell him, then this would have never happened.

Terence put the towel on his shoulder. With a faint smile on his lips, he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

"Come on, Carla. Keep your chin up and look at me. Speaking of which, I fell in love with you first and I will never be ashamed of it."

Tapping her fingers on the couch, she nodded her head and said, "It's different. You are a cheeky devil. I am not."
