Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 47

The water in the swimming pool was pleasantly warm after a long day of sunshine. Even though it was dark now, Carla didn't feel cold at all.

'Ahh— This feels so wonderful.'

She held onto the edge with her back against the wall and paddled her feet leisurely in the water. Missing out on the opportunity to go diving earlier today, she made up for it with a relaxing swim alone, instead.

While Carla was discreetly enjoying some time alone in the pool, a room on the third floor of the villa was dimly lit.

But, because it was a full moon that cast a frosty light all about, the dimly lit room wasn't easily visible.

"Mr. Terence. You're not in bed yet!" Rainer said surprised.

He was on duty tonight. When he patrolled the house, he noticed the door to Terence's room was half open and went to check it vigilantly.

On entering his room, he discovered Terence perched on the window sill, observing something through a telescope.

"Mr. Terence, what are you watching? Is there a UFO outside?" he asked with some humor behind the question. There was no response from Terence. He ignored Rainer and continued looking through the telescope. Rainer's curiosity was further piqued so he leaned over the sill to see for himself.

However, before he got a chance to see anything, Terence pushed him back and said in a low commanding voice, "Just go! It's none of your business! Get back to work!"

He then went back to watch something through his telescope with great interest.

Rainer scratched his head feeling puzzled. He didn't understand why Terence was being so secretive, yet he had no choice but to obey. As he walked outside, he mumbled to himself, "What's outside? I have a telescope in my room as well—"

Terence straightened up upon hearing what Rainer had said. He yelled back at him, "Come back!"

"What do you need, Mr. Terence?"

Rainer turned around and bowed respectfully.

However, Terence had daggers in his eyes and commanded him in a sullen voice, "Rainer, I want you to confiscate all the telescopes in the villa. Don't leave one piece, including yours!"

"What?" Rainer was astonished at his order.

"Do it! Now!" Terence commanded coldly.

"Yes, sir!"

Rainer was at a complete loss as to why Terence would order such a thing. Even so, he didn't dare question his boss. He immediately turned around to carry out the order.

Terence poured himself a glass of wine and took up the telescope again. He smiled as he watched Carla in the swimming pool. She seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself. It gave him great pleasure to watch the beautiful scene. He casually reached for the wine and took a sip.

She looked charming, her figure more curvaceous now than before.

While Terence was relishing the scene, someone came into his sight of view. He frowned immediately and grabbed his cellphone briskly walking out.

"Nathan, why are you at the swimming pool? Get back, now!" Terence commanded on the phone.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Terence, but I can hear someone in the swimming pool. It's highly unusual. Who could be there at such a late hour? For your safety, should I check it out?"

Nathan replied sincerely. He was a loyal staff member. Even though it was his brother, Rainer, who was on duty tonight, Nathan would also give him a hand if he discovered anything unusual.

"Do you dare to disobey me?" Terence got on the elevator and threatened coldly, "Nathan, I command you, stay where you are! Otherwise, if you see anything, I swear, I will blind you!"

Nathan didn't dare move when he heard Terence's angry threat.

He was very close to the swimming pool. The only thing that separated his view from seeing Carla in the pool was a bamboo grove.

Soon enough Terence rushed over. He waved his hands to drive Nathan away.

Nathan nodded and left immediately

after seeing Terence's anxious face. He was sure of his suspicion.

Nathan heard the faint voice of a woman just before he left and he knew that no other woman could attract Terence's attention like Carla could.

Since it was most likely to be Carla, he didn't need to be concerned.

After Nathan had left, Terence stood there for a moment contemplating what to do next. He knew that he should leave, but when he glanced at the bamboo grove in front of him, he couldn't resist the urge to take a peek.

Carla was enjoying the pool so much and she wasn't in a hurry to leave.

The bright moon illuminated the serene surroundings. Carla hummed as she swam around enjoying the moment and taking advantage of the peaceful time that belonged to her alone.

Terence watched Carla through the gaps between the bamboo culms. He was reluctant to leave but had decided that it was best to do so.

He straightened up turning to leave, but he stepped on bamboo debris and made a sound.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

she called out, afraid. Carla quickly climbed out of the pool and grabbed a towel to cover herself when she heard the sound.

Terence stood frozen. This was the last thing that he had wanted. Once he was exposed, he stepped sheepishly out from behind the bamboo grove.

"Terence An? Is that you?"

Carla turned her back to him and put the bathrobe on.

She then walked briskly to Terence. "Why are you here? So! How long have you been watching me?"

Carla asked angrily. Thanks to the shadow of the bamboo, even though there was bright moonlight, Carla was unable to see his blushing face.

"Carla, I invited you to go swimming earlier. Why did you refuse me? I thought you don't like swimming. And now you are here alone at such a late hour." Terence smiled leisurely, trying to cover his awkwardness with another topic.

"Don't try to distract me! Answer me. How long have you been there spying on me?"

Carla looked up at Terence who was a head taller than her. He didn't reply, but his eyes evaded hers, looking obviously guilty.

"Terence An! How dare you! I didn't expect that you could be such a pervert! You prowl around at night spying on unsuspecting women! You—You're a shameless goat!"

Terence felt even more embarrassed. He coughed slightly to ease his tension. Then he smiled bitterly. "Carla, no other women interest me, only you do. The desire for intimacy is only part of human nature. A mistake out of love is not unforgivable, right?

Besides, I have seen most of your body before anyway, so it doesn't matter if I see it again," he argued brazenly

Seeing that he was so shameless and cunning, Carla was too angry to fight back. Instead she thought of an idea. Her eyes lit up and she smiled.

"Really? Do you want to see some more of me?" she asked seductively.

Terence was shocked. He thought that he had misunderstood her at first. But when he saw her seductive smile, he thought she had finally given in and was willing to give herself to him.

"Carla, it's not a suitable place here. How about we go back to my room?" he said in a husky voice, staring at her with excitement in his heart.

"Come here," Carla whispered waving to him.

Seeing that he was taking the bait, Carla couldn't help grinning.

Terence smiled from ear to ear and hurried to her. "You can't wait any longer? You should have told me earlier that you wanted me! You know, I've been having a hard time controlling myself around you."

As he spoke, Terence reached out to her waist and leaned down, about to kiss her.

However, before he did, he was pushed back hard.

But Terence had always been swift and he immediately grasped Carla's bathrobe. The next moment both of them fell into the pool, making a large splash.

Carla and Terence both sank down.

Before she could resist, Terence pulled her towards him and covered her lips with his, sealing all her complaints.

She had aroused him and started a passionate fire within him. He had to express his unfulfilled desire and disappointment through this fierce kiss.

"My darling Carla, you want to trick me, huh? Unfortunately, you're still wet behind the ears—" he grinned.
