Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 110

"What is going on in here?"

Terence asked, with his voice sounding so indifferent, as he walked up toward them.

The fact of the matter was that he had only been gone for a mere five minutes. The waterproof lipstick on his face turned out being a bit arduous to wash off, so it took him quite some time.

He saw Bonnie standing there quivering like a nervous horse. Her face was covered all over with chili oil, and the same went for her white dress. Upon a closer inspection, there seemed to be a disgusting fingerprint stain on it.

When he turned around to check on Carla, he could clearly see a red cross on her tiny and flawless face, though it looked much better than Bonnie's case.

It was so easy for him to read the air after noticing that Carla's hands were stained with chili oil.

There was only one plausible explanation, starting with that Bonnie must have started it all. He was already so sure of it the minute he saw Carla.

"Terence, where is she? I'm going to kill that bitch! I swear I'm going to kill her! Mark my words! I will!"

Bonnie cried out as her face was still stinging due to the heat from the chili oil.

A waiter had quickly fetched a basin of water and handed her a towel to rinse and wipe the oil off of her face, but she just furiously drove him away.

"Bring me all the chili oil in your restaurant this instant! Bring it to me now! I'll pour it all over her! I'll let her know what it tastes like and what it feels like!"

Bonnie bellowed so loud that it almost echoed throughout the entire restaurant. From the looks of it, it seemed that she had already lost it. All she could think of now was how to get revenge. A woman of her status would never in her life let someone like Carla simply walk away without paying for what she had done.

Although she could barely see a thing, she tried so hard to endure the pain and squint her eyes just to locate where Carla was standing, and then she threw herself directly onto her.

But all of a sudden, a familiar figure unexpectedly jumped in front of Carla in order to protect her.

Of course, it was Terence. He grabbed Bonnie's wrist, looked at her with a frigid calm, and gave her a piece of his mind, "That's enough, Bonnie!"

…

Bonnie instantly froze on the spot. Did Terence just tell her off?

"Theo, what do you think you're doing? Don't just stand there! Come over here and help me send Bonnie to the hospital so she can get some medical attention!"

Terence called out to Theo without bothering to wait for whatever Bonnie's reply might be.

Theo sauntered next to them, scratching his head as he moved. It seemed quite obvious that there was something suspicious going on between Terence and Carla.

Theo could feel it. Bonnie's eyes were under so much pain because of the chili oil, she might not be able to notice that the way Terence looked at Carla was a little peculiar. But Theo wasn't blind, and he knew there must be something going on.

"Okay, then I'll get right on that," Theo answered, smelling something suspicious. He grabbed Bonnie's arm, tugged her closer to him and said, "Bonnie, you need to come with me. We need to go to the hospital now to have your eyes checked immediately, otherwise, you might risk going blind."

"No…" Bonnie replied, seemingly agitated. Even though she couldn't see clearly, it was easy enough for her to perceive that Terence was definitely protecting Carla.

There was no way she could just let something like that happen.

"Ivy, what are you doing there just standing idly and watching? This is all your fault! You started this. Now, you come with me and help me take Bonnie to the hospital right now!" Theo shouted at Ivy, appearing to be quite frustrated.

If she didn't instigate Bonnie to come over and bully Carla, all of this could have been avoided. And there also wouldn't have been any need for Theo to go out of his way and bring Bonnie to the hospital.

Ivy was a tad startled as she wouldn't dare disobey Theo. Then she promptly came to assist him as the two of them guided Bonnie toward the elevator.

Bonnie had been dragged away by Theo and Ivy at once. Even if she didn't intend to leave, she had no choice, because she badly needed to get her eyes checked.

As soon as they left, Terence turned around and stared at Carla in silence. There was something about the way he looked in her eyes.

Then, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and carefully pulled her over to an unoccupied table and had her take a seat.

Taking a piece of clean tissue, he carefully wiped the chili oil off of Carla's hands. And there was a hint of concern in his eyes as he was doing it.

"Sir, what could you possibly be doing? Don't you think you're helping the wrong person?"

Carla, trying to act confused, asked tepidly, raising her eyebrows and watching as Terence painstakingly cleaned her fingernails.

"Shhh! It's going to hurt if you let the chili oil stay in contact with your skin for too long. Just stay still and let me clean it first, okay?" Terence said, with his brows deeply furrowed. A few minutes later, he realized that the tissue wouldn't be enough to clear it all off.

Right then and there, he pulled out a pocket square from his jacket and carried on carefully wiping her hands with it.

Watching as all of this transpired, all of the onlookers, as anyone might expect, were left dumbfounded and at a clear loss for words.

Just what the hell was happening here? Who was that mysterious girl?

Why would he leave his fiancée—who was obviously in so much pain due to getting chili oil smeared on her face—on the hands of others, while he decided to stay in the restaurant just to clean off a bit of chili oil that got onto another woman's hands? What was her relationship with Mr. Terence An? Could she possibly be a mistress?

Why was he being so kind and considerate to her? He had been treating her so tenderly this whole time.
