Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 91

Even though she said that she hated him, Carla couldn't deny the truth, that she felt a sense of security with him being around. It was like a natural tranquilizer.

He held her tightly the entire night until it was time or him to leave.

Stealthily, he got out of bed and quietly left early in the morning. Terence had to catch his flight back to JA City.

Carla considered what he said last night and understood it completely, but her perspective still remained the same.

The thought of him marrying another woman drove her insane. What would happen to her? The saddest part about all of this, was that she would never be with him again. Carla couldn't even go an hour without thinking about him. How would she manage a lifetime?

It was much easier for a man to break his promise than to keep it. In today's society, promises had no meaning. Why keep a promise when you could just take it back anytime you like?

The following day, she received a phone call from her friend Karen. She asked Carla if she would come to her shop after work for a visit.

At the shop, Karen poured herself a glass of water and sat opposite Carla. "How is your boyfriend doing? Strangely I haven't heard anything about him since the last time I saw you," she inquired.

Carla had been keeping to herself lately. It was good for her to catch up with a friend. Since she stopped working at the shop, they had a lot to talk about.

Karen was curious to see how she was doing and how her love life was going. They always had a strong connection and could talk about anything to each other, without the other one being judgmental.

She knew Karen meant Terence. "We broke up," Carla simply responded.

Karen stopped introducing her to men when she found out Carla and Terence were dating. She was always the matchmaker for Carla. If it weren't for Terence, she would have met dozens of men by now.

Karen was surprised and asked, "Are you serious?" She took her curly strands of hair that were in her face and shoved them behind her ears. "What happened Carla? You two were an amazing couple. Why didn't you tell me about it? I am always here for you. You know that."

Carla squeezed her hand and smiled to reassure her. "Karen, I apologize. I got so busy with my new job and everything. It completely slipped my mind to tell you.

Besides, I broke up with him. There was a lot of unnecessary stress on my shoulders. I needed space to process everything."

Karen shook her head in disbelief. "Carla, I can't be fooled that easily.

Although BH City is a small city and quite far away from JA City, news spreads fast."

She took out her phone and placed it on the table in front of Carla. "Look at this picture. Is this Terence? I knew there was something familiar about him the day I met him. I just couldn't put my finger on it."

Even though Karen already knew that it was him, she just had to know for sure.

"Oh my God!" She yelled so loud in surprise that everyone in the shop stared at her. Karen shrugged her shoulders like she didn't care and carried on to say, "I never expected that the son of the renowned An family in JA City would come to your house. He even said that he was your boyfriend.

Thinking about it now, being with him is impractical."

Karen must have heard about the engagement. If she didn't, she wouldn't have known that Terence was the third son of the An family.

Carla took a sip of her tea and fidgeted with the handle on the cup.

Tapping her fingernails on the table, Karen said indignantly, "The break up was best for the both of you.

You and Terence would have had no future together. If you carried on with the relationship, your feelings for him would have become stronger. It would have ended up hurting you more in the long run. I know it hurts, but it's better for you to cut it off now."

Karen's eyes widened as an idea popped up in her head. "I know two single men that would love to meet you. The weekend is coming up. Please come out with me and meet them."

Carla immediately shook her head and replied, "Karen, I just broke up with Terence. It's way too soon to meet someone new. I need to heal first."

Karen looked as if she had been sworn at. Her eyes were as big as lemons. She glanced over at Carla and began to lecture her, "What are you waiting for? You are not going to find your prince charming sitting on the sofa watching TV and mourning your break up. Hurry up! Time waits for no man, Carla. You are beautiful, Carla! Now is the time to find a man to marry and settle down. Before you know it, you are going to be old and saggy. No man wants that, rather marry them now and then they will have no choice but to love you when your face wrinkles and your butt hangs. Find a man when you are young and attractive so they will accept your brother tagging along with you as well. Just think about it!

Alright, stop wasting time. It's decided." Karen took her phone off the table and made a call.

Before Carla could say anything, Karen had already made the decision for her. "Okay, so I have booked a place for you to meet one of them tomorrow. It's time to get back in the saddle. Carla, please be there on time!"
