Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 134

When Carla got out from the cable car, Terence held her around the waist to carefully help her.

Bonnie, who was waiting not that far away from them witnessed the whole scene. Understandably, she couldn't help but feel hurt and jealous. Like all other girls, she couldn't turn a blind eye to her fiance's intimate behavior with another women.

"Terence!" she called out. After she had recovered her composure with a smile, she gracefully went over and took his hand in hers and then walked to the parking lot with him.

Julie also went to Noah and asked, "Noah, shall we go back now?"

"Yes, let's go," Noah replied and walked away.

Julie quietly followed him.

She was hoping to leave hand in hand with Noah, just as Bonnie and Terence had. But she knew that Noah wouldn't like that so she didn't dare try.

The prerequisite of staying with him was to be obedient and to follow his lead.

Carla was left behind with Nathan and Rainer at her side.

The trip was a good one for her. She was not the type of person who would ask for much. She had enjoyed herself and had delicious food. What more could she ask for?

Even though the two groups were heading for different destinations, there was only one way out from the mountain.

Terence's car was in front, while Noah's car followed.

When they had arrived at the foot of the hill, they all got out of their vehicles and bid each other farewell.

Carla felt so sleepy that she really didn't want to get out. But when she heard Noah mention her name from outside of the car, she couldn't find it in herself to be so impolite.

"Terence, I am handing my sister over to you. Please take good care of her. She has been spoiled by us and at times she might be unruly and displease you. But she is kind in her nature. Please don't take it too much to heart when she does make mistakes."

When Carla was about to get out of the car she heard what Noah had said to Terence.

She froze on the spot.

Carla stayed in the car a moment longer so she could hear how Terence would answer Noah.

'Will he promise Noah against his will or—'

"Noah, you can rest assured that even if she weren't my fiancee, she is your sister, after all. I will take care of her for certain,"

Terence replied with a smile.

To the average person his reply seemed flawless. Just a standard polite reply.

However, Noah read between the lines and interpreted it with another meaning altogether.

Terence didn't mention which sister he was referring to, as he didn't mention Bonnie's name. Carla was also Noah's sister.

"Great! Then I can leave with peace of mind," Noah smiled politely back.

Even though he was suspicious, he tried to convince himself that he was reading too much into it. It was impossible that Terence would have known about the secret.

After all, it was a very well kept secret about the Hua family. His parents didn't even know of it, nor Carla. Let alone, Terence.

"Miss Carla, I'm leaving now. I'll see you in BH City."

Noah waved to Carla who was standing by the vehicle.

Carla smiled back at him and also waved goodbye.

On the way back home, Carla had slept the whole way. Mountaineering was really exhausting. Carla knew that tomorrow morning when she got up, she was going to be feeling sore all over.

It was dark when they had finally arrived home because

Bonnie had insisted that they stay in the Seaview Villa for dinner.

Carla realized that she was the only one who had been so worn out.

Bonnie was athletic and she had experience with mountain climbing so she looked far better than what Carla did.

Terence looked even better. He had daily fitness training with Nathan who was obsessed with exercising. So the trip today was a piece of cake for him.

After having dinner and a nice soothing shower, Carla was so beat that she went straight to bed.

"Terence, it's too early to go to bed now. May I have a dance with you?" Bonnie asked on a whim. Before Terence answered her, she turned the music on.

As soon as the music began, Bonnie swayed her beautiful body in time to the music and gazed at him. Terence took a sip of his wine and refused coldly, "I'm tired tonight. Let's dance another time."

"Oh, Terence. Don't be such a party pooper! We're both young. Young men are full of energy and vigor. Come on, dance with me!"

Bonnie said as she went over and took Terence's hands in hers and pulled him up.

Terence sighed. He had no choice but to put his arms around Bonnie's slim waist and dance with her.

He was actually surprised at how well Bonnie danced.

Bonnie smiled confidently as she saw the appreciation in Terence's eyes.

She had always been a good dancer and she meant to impress Terence this time.

On the other side of the living room, a small figure slipped upstairs.

Sean opened the door of Carla's room and went straight to her bed. When he saw that she was snoring loudly in her sleep he felt angry all of a sudden.

"Carla! Terence is being seduced by another woman. How can you sleep now? Wake up!"

After dinner, Sean had stayed downstairs to finish his homework. When he was ready to go upstairs to bed, he saw Bonnie and Terence in a tight embrace dancing together to romantic music.

Carla was still half asleep. She opened her heavy eyes and answered in a daze, "Don't disturb me. I want to sleep—" Then she closed her eyes again and continued to sleep.

"What?" Sean stood with arms akimbo just like an adult and glared at Carla in anger. "Carla! For God's sake! Do you know that Bonnie is dancing with Terence downstairs right now?

They look so intimate and they are holding each other so close. Aren't you jealous?" Sean shouted at her.

Even though Sean was only ten years old, he could tell from the TV dramas that he had seen, that Terence and Bonnie were being romantic.

At hearing Sean's words, Carla's eyes opened wide and she sat up in bed immediately and asked, "Terence and Bonnie are dancing now?"

Sean nodded solemnly.

"Exactly! You weren't there. You didn't see what I saw. They were so close. If you don't go downstairs now, who knows what will happen between them."

Carla blinked in surprise at Sean's knowledge of romance at such an early age.

"Sean, how do you know all this stuff? Do you really only study at school? Tell me the truth. Do you have a girlfriend?"

she asked, frowning.

Sean rolled his eyes at his sister impatiently.

"Carla, if you don't go down now, Terence will betray you sooner or later!"

In fact, the worst possible scenario that Sean's young, innocent mind could think of to happen between Terence and Bonnie, was for them to kiss. But, Carla was suspicious of Sean and assumed that he knew more about what happened between couples than he led on.

"Fine—" Carla murmured and fell into bed again.

If Terence would betray her so easily then he wasn't the Terence that she loved.

Even if she did go downstairs, what could she do? She didn't know how to dance at all.

"Carla! Carla! Carla! Carla!" Sean shook her.

He was beside himself when he saw Carla flop back down into bed again.

How could she ignore his warning? At times he felt as if things were the other way around. It felt like Carla was his little sister because he was always worried about her.

Finally, Carla threw the covers aside and gave Sean a look. She got up and walked out reluctantly.

She chose to take the stairs instead of the lift. Because she didn't want to alert them that she was coming and if Terence was doing something that he shouldn't be, then she would catch him out.

Once Carla was nearly at the bottom of the stairs of the second floor, they came into view from there. She was stunned to see Bonnie in Terence's arms as they glided gracefully across the floor.

They danced beautifully and every movement was fluid and smooth matching each other perfectly.

Both Terence and Bonnie were born in prestigious families and so the Waltz was a basic skill for them.

Terence stood tall and proud with his arm around Bonnie's waist. Their postures and steps were so harmonious and light, like a pair of butterflies. Bonnie was gazing into his eyes, smiling happily and she looked more gracefully and sweeter than ever before.

As romantic music played on, Carla could see a slight smile on Terence's lips and a sparkle in his eyes.

Carla stood there until the dance was finally over.

Bonnie stared at Terence, her eyes full of expectation. She was so touched by the romantic atmosphere that she leaned forward and gave Terence an unexpected kiss on the lips.

"Terence, you did great," she said in an alluring voice.

Carla was so distracted by what she had just witnessed, that she forgot to look down at her footing. All of a sudden, she missed a step and came tumbling down the stairs.
