Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 49

Carla couldn't help the blush from appearing on her cheeks. Terence was closely watching her, making her forget to retaliate.

"No, nothing... I..." Carla attempted to speak.

"Let me guess. Was I on top in your secret little fantasy? Or do you prefer some other styles? Like from the back?" Terence whispered in her ear, his warm breath tickling her delicate earlobe, leaving her shivering like a leaf. With some clothes on his left hand, Terence wrapped his other hand around her waist. He gazed upon her with the right corner of his mouth turning up just a little bit.

"Ahem," Carla faked a cough. Then, she looked away from him, but it did nothing to appease the beating of her heart. Although struggling, she finally spoke, "I'm hungry now. I want to get something to eat."

Terence let go of her waist and as he looked down at her with a smile he said, "Carla, remember everything I did to you in your dream. In the near future, I would like to try them all, one by one."

"..." Carla was unable to speak.

"Let's go. You said you're hungry, right? Let me take you to eat," Terence excitedly stated.

Up until then, Carla wasn't fully awake. Her face went even more flushed because of what Terence said. On top of that, she was actually recalling the positions in her dream after he asked her about it! So shameful!

Seeing that Carla was still in a daze, Terence couldn't help but smile. "I've never thought that she would be so adorable when she's a little confused," he murmured with love in his eyes.

They had planned to relax at home for the whole day, so Terence didn't schedule any activities far away from his house.

Besides, Terence's villa was grand. So even if they stayed at home for a whole year, they wouldn't get bored.

"Wow, this is so exciting! Rainer, higher, higher!"

At a private park which was near the sea, Sean was on a swing. Every time he was pushed high in the air, he would get a good view of the sea as if he could touch the waves. It made him very happy.

Wearing a sunbonnet, Carla was sitting under a tree. She smiled upon seeing Sean's happy face.

It had been the first time in a long time that she was seeing him really happy since their parents passed away three years ago.

During those years, he seldom laughed as happily as today. Obviously, Terence's presence in his life made him feel that he was being cared for by his loved ones again.

In the past, he could get his sister's love and care. However, it always seemed like it wasn't enough.

As soon as Terence ended his call, he walked towards Carla and sat next to her. "Why don't you go swing there?" he asked, looking at the other swing.

Before Carla came to the villa, they only had one swing. But Terence thought that she might like things such as swings.

So he asked his workers to build another one at a spot where she could get a good view of the sea.

"Let's go. I can push you!" Seeing that Sean was so happy on the swing, Terence stood up and stretched out his hand to Carla.

She looked at his hand and didn't say anything. But she took off her sunbonnet and walked with him.

After a while, commotions reverberated from the swings.

"Oh, my god. Terence, don't push it so hard!

No, no, no. It's too high!"

The air was filled with Carla's screams. Goodness, gracious! Terence pushed the swing too hard, which made her feel like she would be thrown straight into the sea.

"You coward! Come on! Since we've already started, let's push it to limit!" Instead of stopping, Terence put more of his energy into it. As a result, Carla was being pushed higher and higher. Seeing the look on her face, Terence smiled.

Not to be outdone, Sean asked Rainer to push him higher.

While Carla and her brother were having fun at the park, Megan was standing on the trail of a garden which was near the swings. Seeing Carla and her brother playing happily, she stamped her foot and gnashed her teeth. Then she turned to Nathan—Terence's bodyguard—and blamed him.

"Nathan, you are such an incompetent bodyguard! How can you just let Mr. Terence make mistakes without persuading him otherwise or even reminding him?"

Nathan, who didn't do anything wrong was scolded by Megan. He stood there without any emotions on his face and said nothing.

"What a joke! As a delivery worker, how could she even have the thought of being with Terence? Everyone knows that she's out of his league. Is she not aware of it?

Nathan, tell me the truth. What is going on between Mr. Terence and that girl?" Megan continued to rant.

Nathan just stood still in his position without saying a word.

"Have you lost your tongue?"

Megan wanted to get some information from Nathan, but she was failing. She made a grunting sort of noise and didn't say another word to him anymore. Instead, she walked towards Terence and Carla.

"Terence..."

Megan approached him with a pout on her lips. Then, she turned to Carla who was still on the swing. She replaced her pout with a smile, "Carla! How happy you are! Can I join you?"

Terence slowed down the swing and Carla with it.

"Of course. It's just that, I'm tired now." Carla stood up from the swing.

Seeing Carla walk away without saying anything, Megan thought, 'She still seemed so ignorant.' She then sat on the swing that Carla had just left and coyly said, "Terence, I'm afraid of heights, so please push it a little slow at first."

"Don't worry, Miss Megan. I will push it slowly."

Upon hearing Rainer's voice, Megan immediately turned around only to find out that Terence and Sean had joined Carla. Seeing the three of them walking like a happy little family made her very angry.

Terence held Carla's hand and put the other hand on Sean's shoulder. The more that Megan looked at them, the more she could see how they look really harmonious together.

"Miss Megan, can we start now?" Rainer asked with a smile on his face.

Megan suddenly stood up from the swing and asked him, "What are they going to do?"

"Well, they feel tired and want to have some tea," Rainer replied, still with a smile.

Megan uttered through tightly gritted teeth, "Rainer, in your eyes, you think I'm just a joke, don't you?"

"No, no. How dare I! How dare I laugh at you, Miss Megan!"

Rainer was different from the rigid Nathan. He seemed to be very kind and willing to answer all of her questions with a smile. Although in reality, there was still nothing that she could get from him that would be useful.

"Terence, someone's on the phone for you,"

Nathan informed Terence, clutching the phone on his hand. At that time, in the comfortable dining hall, Terence was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea with Carla and her brother.

Terence stood up and left the room with the phone.

"Mr. Terence, I found something. With Johnny Ouyang's help, Mr. Marcus successfully set you up. Their plan was to wipe you off of this world, starting with your "unexpected disappearance" in BH City," a strange man's voice could be heard from the other line. "At present, Mr. Marcus has been sent to NF. But his men have been lurking around and trying to stir up troubles for a while.

Besides, Johnny Ouyang is ready to help them. So, I'm afraid they will think of other ways to hurt you again,"

the man continued.

Terence was standing on the balcony as he listened to the man. With one hand in his pocket, he stepped quietly on the parquet floor and looked forward with a sneer.

"Johnny Ouyang? Now, I can finally understand why my brother became so smart this time. As far as I know, it's impossible for him to design such a perfect and rigorous scheme. It turns out that Johnny Ouyang is helping him," Terence clenched his jaw.

"Bryant, go and investigate Johnny Ouyang's recent schedule. Whether it's work or his personal life, I want to know everything. I need to know it as soon as possible," Terence ordered.

After these words, , Terence quickly hung up the phone.

He murmured, "Johnny Ouyang?

Both of our families have been staying on our own sides for so many years. Now, he couldn't wait anymore so he decided to help Marcus.

Or maybe he has been holding a grudge all these years. He still remembers the conflict between our families several years ago, doesn't he?"

"Terence? I want to play computer games. Can you play with me? My sister is really stupid when it comes to games!" All of a sudden, the balcony's door opened and Sean's head poked out from it.

"Okay! I'll be there in a second," Terence's mood quickly changed. Regaining his sanity, Terence felt very happy when he realized that Sean was so fond of him. He quickly stopped the whirlwind of his thoughts and prepared to play with him.

The moment he stepped foot in the dining hall, a pillow came flying towards him.

"Sean Ji, what did you say? Who's stupid? Is it you or me? Say it again in front of me!"

Carla scolded his little brother. One hand was placed boldly on her hip and one hand was pointing fingers at Sean.

"Carla, your hand speed is very slow. I think it will be better to play with Terence," Sean explained. Carla didn't play computer games that often. Most importantly, it was known to everyone that boys were better than girls at playing computer games.

"Sean Ji,"

Carla cried, trying her best to control her anger. When she was about to hit Sean, Terence walked over and stopped her.

"Carla, don't hit him. After all, he's just a kid. Another thing... We're going to have our own baby in the near future. Will you hit our baby all the time?"

With a smile on his face, Terence asked as he hid Sean behind him.
