Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 42

"Race, what's up?"

"Mr. Terence, I have something to tell you. After Mr. Rhys came back yesterday, he spread the news of what happened with you and Miss Carla to the whole An family. Even your father has heard about it now. Mr. Nicholas asked me to call you and tell you to be careful.

You also know your father's temper very well. At present, he has sent people to investigate Miss Carla's background. I'm afraid that he'll be coming for you soon enough..."

Race informed him over the phone.

The Mr. Nicholas that Race mentioned was Terence's grandfather.

And Terence's father was Edmund An.

Now that the condition of the Ans became complicated, it became too difficult to explain everything with just a few words.

Upon hearing the news from Race, Terence was left speechless.

After pondering over it for a while, he finally spoke, "I got it. Ask grandfather to take a good rest. I will go back to visit him in a couple of days."

"Okay, I will inform him. Mr. Terence, Mr. Nicholas also told me to ask you one more question. Are you serious this time?" Race remarked.

Nicholas told Race to ask this question just to be sure of the fact. If Terence really loved Carla and was serious about this matter, he could help him plan what to do and prepare in advance.

If not, Carla, without precaution, might get end up in a difficult situation as getting involved with the An family was full of danger.

Well, there might be also a chance that she could still be safe, but only if Terence tried his best to protect her.

"Yes,"

Terence uttered gently, stealing a glance at Carla sitting beside him.

After hanging up the phone, Terence gradually looked out of the window, his mouth twisting into a wry smile.

By rights, parents might show the greatest affection for the youngest son and dote on him the most, but Terence's father didn't like Terence very much even though he was the youngest son.

On the contrary, Terence's grandfather was the one who had always treated him very well.

Terence's father didn't have as many connections and as high a position compared to that of his grandfather's, so he wouldn't ever dare to take action to against him. And in this way, Terence could grow up safely and smoothly in the family.

"Terence, what's wrong?" Sean shook Terence's hand after seeing him stay silent, wondering whether someone told him something unpleasant over the phone.

"Is everything okay? Did the person you were talking to through the phone say something to displease you?"

Sean asked, his voice filled with so much concern. Wearing a smile, Terence turned toward Sean and Carla who silently looked at him with a worried expression in her eyes.

"Hey. You've already accepted the gift I gave you, but why do you still call me 'Terence'?" Terence said jokingly, poking Sean's nose. "So, have I just wasted my gift this time?" he added.

Scratching his head, Sean chuckled and secretly glanced at Carla. Then, he wittily replied, "I call you 'Terence' because I treat you as not only my brother-in-law, but also my best friend forever! So I think I can call you whatever I like."

In fact, he actually thought that it would be okay to call Terence his 'brother-in-law' whenever there were only a few people with them, and that he should call him 'Terence' in front of many others.

After all, Carla and Terence hadn't been married yet, so Sean believed that he might cause unnecessary misunderstandings if he referred to Terence in such a special way.

And if so, he might also get Carla in trouble because of that then.

"You can call me whatever you like."

Terence knew what Sean was thinking and worrying about. Turning to look at Carla who still kept silent, he took her hand and asked, "What's wrong? What's bothering you?"

Carla stopped being absorbed into her own thoughts and looked out of the window. "I wonder why the destination is so far away from us. We set out a long time ago, but we still haven't arrived."

"It's a bit far. JA City is quite large, and many interesting scenic spots, where people can have fun, are located in the suburbs, so it takes some time to get to the south of the city coming from the north,"

Terence explained, gradually entwining his fingers with Carla's.

Watching as their hands were about to clasp together, Carla tried to struggle and pull her hand away from him, but Terence held her hand much more tightly.

"See, if you try to escape from my grasp, I will hold your hand more tightly, and you will only end feeling even more uncomfortable. If you keep relaxed and stay beside me obediently, not anxious to escape, both of us can feel secure and very comfortable,"

Terence whispered in Carla's ear with a smile.

Rolling her eyes, Carla felt annoyed and thought that Terence just kept on trying to persuade her all the time. —

After a while, they finally arrived at their first tourist destination.

Since Sean was still a kid and liked playing very much, Terence chose to take them to the JA City Maritime Museum, which had the largest aquarium in the country.

Not only could people dive under the water there, but they could also get close to the marine animals. Besides, it was a good chance for people to have fun while learning so many things about the ocean.

"Sean, don't run too fast!"

Now that it was the first time that Sean had seen so many marine animals, he ran forward joyfully, not able to contain his excitement.

"Don't worry. Rainer will follow him around." When Carla was about to run towards Sean, Terence took her hand and shifted his chin, motioning her to look ahead.

At this moment, Carla realized that Rainer kept following Sean around. She breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to look toward the bodyguard behind Terence. He was tall, thin, and dark-skinned, while Rainer was white-skinned.

"Are they twins? They look like each other. And if the colors of their skin were even the same, I'm afraid I can't tell them from each other."

Carla had always been confused of this matter, but she just couldn't find a chance to ask Terence about it.

"Well, Nathan is Rainer's elder brother. At the beginning, I also couldn't distinguish them from each other, so Nathan purposefully got a suntan just to let me tell them from each other easily,"

Terence uttered, smilingly casting a glance at Nathan who was following them in silence.

Carla had no idea whether what Terence said was true or not, so she took a careful look at Nathan who seemed serious with a straight face. He was tall and thin, walking with his back straight all the time. His eyes kept looking forward, while his ears paid attention to whatever was happening around them.

"They were my grandfather's bodyguards before, and although they were often sent to protect me before, they didn't always stay with me every day. After I was attacked and harmed by others last time, my grandfather decided to make them be my bodyguards,"

Terence continued, walking alongside Carla.

"Oh." Carla wanted to ask just now, why he had been attacked and chased by others in BH City even though Nathan and Rainer were by his side. Now, she found out that when he got assaulted at that time, Nathan and Rainer hadn't been sent to be his bodyguards yet.

Noticing that Sean had already seen most of the marine animals and had been playing for quite a while, Terence asked people to prepare the diving suits, intending to go for a dive with Sean.

At last, Terence fixed his eyes on Carla.

"You really don't want to join us?"

Carla shook her head. Indeed, she actually really wanted to go for a dive with them, but there were so many wild fish in the water. And as a woman who never had such an experience, whenever she got close to so many animals, she got so afraid of them.

"No. I can just take photos of you instead! Sean, remember to strike some poses under the water. I will take photos of you and get the pictures developed to paste them on the wall."

With these words, Carla greeted Sean as he was wearing the diving suit.

After Sean made a gesture informing them that he was ready, he went under the water with Terence assisting him.

Followed by Rainer, Carla went to the bottom viewing area of the aquarium to wait for them to dive under the water.

She took out the camera and tried to take a few photos of other places to properly adjust the shooting angle.

Right then, through the camera, Carla noticed a middle-aged man wearing a business suit and tie approaching her.
