Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 130

"Did you drug her?" Carla asked gaping in shock.

She was worried about Bonnie's well being and moved closer to check her. 'Thank goodness, her breathing is smooth and stable.'

Carla thought that Terence was violent enough to knock Bonnie out because she was too annoying. It turned out he used drugs instead of fists.

"Where did you get the knock-out drops?" Carla asked, still confused.

Terence pulled her into his arms after canoodling her and he answered, "I got Nathan to prepare some before we got into the vehicle."

Carla fell silent.

'Did he know already that Bonnie would be coming with us?

But wait, why would he have knockout drops at all? Or, wasn't this the first time that he has used the drug?' Carla thought concerned.

Since Bonnie was out cold, Terence could kiss and cuddle Carla as much as he wanted without worrying about Bonnie. He held her in his arms until they had almost reached the destination. Finally, when they were nearly there he let Carla go. With a bit more time left on her hands, she took her phone and began to play games.

"Carla, can you pretend to be asleep?" Terence asked as he caressed her hair.

"What?" His random question distracted her from the game she was playing and she looked up at him in confusion.

Terence explained, "Bonnie will wake up soon after the drug wears off. If she wakes up and sees that she was the only one asleep, she will get suspicious. The best solution is that we both pretend to be asleep as well."

Carla nodded and plugged her mobile to charge before she lay down across the seats and closed her eyes.

Terence grinned satisfactorily when he saw Carla sprawled across the seats. He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

Then he returned to his own seat and leaned against it as if dozing.

As they lay in their positions, Bonnie woke shortly afterwards.

Bonnie blinked several times and shook her groggy head. Shocked, she wondered, 'When did I suddenly fall asleep?'

Then she looked around for Carla and noticed her sprawled across the seat sleeping. 'Vulgar girl!' thought Bonnie resentfully.

Then she felt strong shoulders next to her, she looked across and noticed that she was still leaning on Terence. Just like she had been before she had dozed off. Terence had his eyes closed and looked to be sleeping.

After a short while, Terence opened his eyes and glanced at Bonnie saying, "You're awake."

He pretended to yawn and stretch as he sat up. He didn't sleep last night, thinking what he should do to protect Carla and carry on his plans, so he looked tired and exhausted. But to Bonnie, she just thought that he looked as if he had just woken up.

"Carla, wake up! We'll arrive soon!" Terence called to her.

Carla opened her eyes slowly and stretched her body lazily. Then she yawned and sat up, still dull. With her eyes half open, she pushed the curtain aside and murmured, "So soon?"

Terence controlled his urge to laugh and answered, "Yes, we're here."

He didn't expect that Carla was such a talented actress.

This would come in handy if she was to survive among the Hua family. She needed those sort of skills to manipulate them.

He recalled the incident with Megan and he was further convinced that Carla was a good pretender. After some training she would definitely be able to deal with different challenges in the future.

Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she wasn't the only one that had fallen into a deep slumber. To see Carla sprawled out in such an undignified manner all of her doubts were cast aside. She put it down to being a long bumpy road that had made her sleep and so dizzy.

They had arrived at the destination

and they all got out of the off-road vehicle one by one.

Carla was the first to get out. The deck of the off-road vehicle was usually higher than ordinary cars. Girls who wanted to remain graceful always needed help getting down.

However, Carla wasn't aware nor trained in this so-called vehicle etiquette and so she just grasped the door and jumped off from it without any fuss.

Terence followed after her. He gave Rainer a glance and Rainer nodded knowingly.

"Miss Bonnie, let me help you!"

Rainer stepped forward and held a hand out for her.

Bonnie glanced at Terence, but he was already striding ahead without looking back for her. Bonnie didn't say anything but accepted Rainer's hand graciously and then jogged off to catch up to Terence.

It was a hot day. Carla wore a cap and walked leisurely in front of them. She looked around and enjoyed the beautiful natural scenery of rolling hills and different trees that covered them like a blanket.

It was a beautiful and magnificent view.

She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath filling her lungs with the fresh air that swept away all of her weariness. Carla then marched on to the hills.

Terence watched her as she seemed to be picking up the pace, moving farther and farther away from him. He was about to tell her to slow down so she didn't wear herself out. But his arm was grabbed all of a sudden.

"Terence, it's a long walk to the peak. I'm not as strong as you so you will have to help me when I get tired, won't you?" Bonnie smiled softly at him as she glanced at Carla who was a distance ahead of them.

"Really? I heard that you liked exercising and that you climbed a lot of mountains," Terence said curtly. But he didn't shake her off and walked together with her.

After the vehicle parked, Nathan and Rainer also went over and followed Terence.

Bonnie had meant to show her gentle feminity in front of Terence, however, she didn't expect that he knew she was good at exercise. She couldn't help feeling proud and answered, "Yes, I like climbing mountains and I have been to many famous challenging mountains in the world. But I'm a girl after all. I'm not as strong as you,"

Bonnie explained proudly.

Just like Terence had expected, Carla soon felt exhausted. She seldom exercised so her feet became heavier and heavier until she couldn't go further.

But by now, she was already way in front of the rest of them.

She sat down on the stone stairs to have a rest and looked down at Terence and Bonnie as they walked together.

They really did make a lovely and gracious couple. Terence was tall, strong and handsome, while Bonnie was beautiful and as elegant as a princess. Carla moved her eyes away from them and took in the beautiful surroundings around her and deciding that she must take a selfie.

She tried to ignore the perfect couple down below and took out a selfie stick from her backpack. After finding the perfect angle she struck a pose and took a photo.

She took several more photos before she packed the selfie stick away. By that time, Terence and Bonnie were already close by.

Carla stood up about to continue on when

Bonnie called out to her, "Carla!"

When Bonnie saw Carla taking pictures, she got an idea. She took out her mobile and handed it to Carla. "Could you take a picture of Terence and me, please?"

Terence didn't expect Bonnie to ask something like that and he frowned glancing at Carla with some concern. However, it was too late to think of an excuse because Carla had already taken the phone from her.

"With pleasure," Carla smile. Carla just took Bonnie's phone without hesitation. She climbed up a little bit and turned around to find the right angle.

She held the phone up towards them. "Terence, don't be so serious! Smile!"

Carla looked at Terence in the screen and reminded him.

Terence creased his eyebrows and stared at Carla sullenly. He managed to make a smile.

Bonnie was smiling sweetly and leaned on Terence with her head on his shoulder.

"Perfect! It's done."

Carla took two pictures of them and returned the cell phone to Bonnie.

Bonnie checked the pictures as soon as she got the phone. She looked satisfied and appreciated the photos for quite a while before she finally packed her phone away.

However, just as Bonnie had packed her phone away, Carla pulled hers out and gave it to Bonnie smiling wickedly.

"Could you also do me a favor, Miss Bonnie, The selfie stick is too short for a group picture, could you kindly take a picture of all of us, please?"

Bonnie's smile froze. Her expression changed suddenly. However, she couldn't refuse her request since Carla just took her photo.

She took Carla's phone reluctantly and Carla grabbed Terence's hand and dashed over to Nathan and Rainer.

Terence was surprised by Carla's behavior. She was such a cheeky girl! He could have hugged her right now for being so clever. She was learning fast.

Carla arranged the three of them to stand together, with Terence in between the two brothers and she stood in front of the three men because she was the shortest. The pictures of them made Carla look daintier and cuter.

"Miss Bonnie, you can take the picture of us now, we are ready. Thank you!"

As she said it, Carla stretched out her arms like a tiny bird and smiled at Bonnie.
