Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 100

Carla rushed to Terence angrily as soon as she got out of the shower as she had gone mad the moment she saw herself in the mirror.

"Terence! Look what you have done to my neck!" Carla couldn't avoid yelling at Terence, who was sleeping peacefully on her bed at the moment.

He woke up immediately due to her yelling and rubbed his drowsy eyes.

"Sorry, I may have overdone it a bit," Terence replied in a hoarse voice apologetically and tried to open his heavy eyes with great difficulty.

He desired her so much that he even wanted to eat her alive. Now there was only one hickey left on her neck. He was careful enough to not leave behind any mark while kissing her. Apparently, he didn't feel so sorry about that. Instead, he was pretty satisfied with what he had done.

"Terence!"

Carla was spewing with fury at him after hearing his explanation. She approached Terence and prepared to take it out on him. It was so hot out there. What could she wear to go to work by hiding this mark? A high-collar shirt? It was way too hot!

Besides, the hickey he left on her neck was so dark and obvious that anyone would notice it at the first sight.

Terence held her by the hand and pulled her into his arms as he constrained her between him and the bed. Then he added, "What can I do to make it up now? Do you want to leave one on me as well?"

He stretched his neck towards her as though he were offering her an opportunity for revenge.

Obviously, Carla wouldn't agree to his suggestion. She only took it out on him by scratching him twice.

"Terence, can you stop visiting me from time to time? And don't be so intimate to me without asking my permission. Am I understood?" With eyes widely open and glaring at him, Carla was visibly angry at the moment.

But she knew that it was useless to argue with him. What she needed to do was to solve it once and for all.

In the meantime, Terence was not displeased with her protest at all. Gently looking at her, he turned his body sideways, with one hand supporting his head. It seemed that his Carla was just like a rose filled with thorns. It was easy for him to get pricked but the fragrance was mesmerizing.

"I'm made to feel as if I'm your pet. And whenever you are delighted, you'll come to me and amuse yourself. You have never given any consideration or importance to my feelings and emotions! I'm a person. And I have got my own life, its problems and so on. Will you stop behaving as if I owe you happiness in life?"

Saying that angrily, Carla pushed him away and got off the bed.

"It's just a hickey, Carla. Don't be so mad. It will fade away soon. Besides, you can cover it with make-up."

Terence stepped forward and embraced her in his arms as he kissed her on her forehead.

However, he hadn't realized that the problem was not the hickey. Hickey was merely the tip of an iceberg. It had just triggered a wild fire which wouldn't be so easy to control.

Carla was done with his tendency of sudden appearance and disappearance. She really didn't like him to show up at her house any time solely according to his whim and fancy.

"Yeah, the hickey can be covered by make-up. But what can cover people's mouths? How can I stop others from gossiping about you and me? You are going to be engaged and everyone who watches TV knows it. If someone gets to know that you are here with me, what do you think will stop them from making stories about us?"

Gossip was terrifying. Sean had already been laughed at because of it in the school now. That was why Carla was worried about it.

Upon hearing her words, Terence's forehead wrinkled. He didn't want to quarrel with her so he turned his eyes away from her and said with a calming voice, "Carla, it took me about five hours' flight journey to come here. And I need to spend another five hours to get back. I have only got three or four hours to stay here. And it has already cost me one hour while waiting for you to return home.

Hence, Can you stop quarrelling with me?" Judging from his gentle voice, it seemed that he was not angry at all. But he surely was annoyed and displeased about this.

He could have stayed in JA City and enjoyed his leisure time.

It would be much more pleasing than spending so much time airborne.

But he chose to fly towards her any way. He would rather spend all his leisure time on the way to her as he missed her so much. All he wanted was to see her in person. He had been undoubtedly hurt to have heard such harsh words of dejection from her.

On hearing his tender voice, Carla felt a faint strike of guilt inside her.

However, as soon as she remembered that he was going to be engaged to Bonnie Hua soon enough, the feeling disappeared.

Realizing that the woman by his side would never be her, Carla felt sorry for herself.

What was the significance of what she was doing with him right now if there was no future for them?

"Why bother? Go back now. You can still catch a good night's sleep if you depart now,"

Carla answered in a frozen tone.

Choosing to remain silent, Terence shot a departing look at her coldly. He grabbed his jacket and then walked over to the door.

"Don't be mad. I won't come in here then. You can just have your blind dates just as you wish. And no matter who you are going to hang around with, it's none of my business. I don't have any right to interfere in your life,"

he said as he walked off.

"Wait!"

Upon hearing Carla's voice, Terence turned around as his eyes were lit up with hope. He looked at her from across the door

but only to see

Carla reaching out her hand and saying, "Give me the key. The elevator card as well."

Terence's eyes reddened spontaneously. It was really hurtful. He had thought that she changed her mind and wanted him to stay. But apparently that wasn't the case.

He took out the key and the elevator card from his jacket and tossed them over to her.

Then, Carla shut the door with a bang and locked it up.

Staring at the shut door, Terence couldn't muster the strength to leave at once. He stood there for a while and lit up a cigarette.

The air seemed to have solidified at the moment. He smoked outside the door for quite a while.

In the meantime, Carla was looking at him through the monitor. Biting her bottom lip, she didn't go back to her bedroom until she saw Terence finish the cigarette and leave after a while.

Time flew by, waiting for none.

It was already the beginning of the next month.

The media of BH City were going frantic with the news about Terence getting engaged. Terence was the youngest son of the An Family and the successor of the AJ Group. Moreover, he was also the grandson of the former military chief of JA City.

The news of his engagement flooded the media that Carla couldn't avoid it at all despite her strenuous efforts.

She was so frustrated that she felt she was going to lose her mind.

Ever since she drove Terence out of her house that day, he hadn't shown up in front of her again. But she couldn't avoid the news about him popping up on her cellphone or laptop.

The handsome man in the pictures wore customized white suit and a black shirt. His charm radiated from inside. The smile on his face was so bright that one could tell he was delighted at the moment.

As for his fiancee, she was wearing a splendid white dress with diamonds decorated on it. The woman was gorgeous and graceful, who was looking at him with deep felt devotion towards Terence.

What a perfect couple! Everything looked perfect in the picture. It seemed that they were meant to be together forever.

"Who is this celebrity? Is he a film star? Why is there so much fervour for his engagement on my phone? But I have to say that he is really handsome. I like his eyes, so deep and graceful. And his lips are so good-looking."

"Come on. He is not some film star. He is the 'royal prince' of JA City!"

"'Royal prince'? What do you mean?"

"His grandfather on his mother's side was the mayor of JA City. His grandfather on his father's side was the former military chief. And his father is the most successful businessman in JA City. Now you realize why he is dubbed as the 'royal prince' of JA City, huh?"

"Really? Oh, my gosh! Then his fiancee must be rich and noble as well, right?"

"Of course. She is the only daughter of the Hua family. It's said that her grandfather on her mother's side was a secretary of some Municipal Party Committee. Not to mention that the Hua family is rich enough to be a suitable match to the An family."

Carla covered her ears with her palm as the random talks in the office about him made her lose her calmness. She couldn't bear any more of it. She was remorseful and regretful at the moment.

In spite of trying hard to devote all her attention and focus into her work, the problem was that she could never pay any attention to it. She was visibly distracted. She could think of nothing but him. Moreover, by every passing second, the regret just got worse. Eventually, she asked for two days off to take some rest at home.

Her manager permitted directly as she seldom asked for a leave. She was a dedicated employee of the company and the manager was fond of her.

After Carla got back home, she threw her cellphone to the table and disconnected the cable for the Internet as she got onto her bed and buried herself in the quilt. She badly wanted to cut herself off from the rest of the world which was seemingly enjoying Terence's engagement.
