Love is the Sunshine

Although Carla was poor, she still had her dignity. She clenched her fists tightly when Nina belittled her and accused her of being something that she was not. If Evan hadn't been there, she would have slapped Nina by now.

'No, how can a slap be enough? This woman is a despicable human being! Even if her face was beaten into a pulp, it wouldn't be enough!' Carla thought to herself, trying hard to control her temper.

"Shut up, Nina! Apologize to Carla now!"

Just as Carla was about to lose her temper, Evan spoke up.

He gave his girlfriend a reproachful look. He already knew that Nina didn't like Carla and had tried on several occasions, to fill his head with stories of bad things that Carla was supposed to have done. At that time, he just thought that Nina might have misunderstood certain things about Carla and besides his girlfriend did have a tendency of being straightforward and bold. So he didn't pay too much attention.

But now he realized that if there were misunderstandings between Nina and Carla, then they must be huge ones.

Seeing that Evan was angry with her, Nina leaned coquettishly into his arms, raised her chin and pouted her lips at him. "Don't be angry with me, honey.

Maybe what I said was too harsh and straightforward, but I just don't like this woman. She gets under my skin!

I'm not stupid. I can see that she likes you. But I am your girlfriend and it makes me jealous when I see you chatting with another woman. Especially when I know that she likes you. That's why I said those harsh things."

Evan was about to reprimand Nina, but after hearing what she said and seeing her pouty face, he couldn't bring himself to do it. So he looked up at Carla apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Carla. Please forgive Nina. She's just a blunt girl, often speaking sharply but meaning no harm. So please don't take it to heart."

As soon as Carla heard Evan try and make excuses for his girlfriend's unacceptable behavior, it seemed to add fuel to the fire.

'Don't mind?

How can I possibly not mind?

Right now, I would like nothing more than to rip that bitch's hair out and shove it all down her filthy throat. What does Evan possibly see in her?' Carla sneered under her breath.

However, a smart woman should not be spiteful, especially in front of the man she liked.

"It doesn't matter, Evan. It's just like water off a duck's back. I won't take what she said seriously." Carla then gave him a smile, pretending that she had not been affected.

As soon as she heard Carla's response, Nina shot Carla an angry glare and narrowed her eyes at her.

'How dare you brush me off like that!' She gnashed her teeth, seething.
