Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 136

Carla could feel that it was Terence without even looking. She hit him square on the face with the slipper in her hand and shouted, "Are you freaking insane? You just said that I was a nobody and was just your frigging savior, didn't you? Have you already forgotten what you just said to me?"

Terence quickly removed the slipper from her hand and tossed it onto the floor. He heaved her over his shoulder and took her back to his bedroom.

After he put her down onto his bed he called Nathan on his cell phone.

"Nathan, has Bonnie left?"

"Yes, I just saw her get into the car and leave now," replied Nathan.

In fact, when Bonnie quietly went upstairs, Nathan had already noticed it. So, he immediately informed Terence.

Even though Terence had already found out himself.

Terence heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at Carla, who was glaring at him full of fury and he explained, "I need you to calm down and hear me out. Bonnie was hiding behind the screen eavesdropping. So I had to say something to hurt your feelings. I only said it to make her believe that we're not lovers. Because once she found out, I'm afraid she would try to do something to hurt you."

Carla brought her knees up to her chest defensively and to keep Terence at a distance. She made a grunting sort of noise and questioned with doubt in her voice, "Really? But just a moment ago, I saw her kiss you downstairs.

You seemed to be enjoying yourself, didn't you? Your fiancee is such a good dancer, and you must feel very proud of her, right? And she loves you so much that it's only natural for her to kiss you. Isn't that right?

Terence, if you want to admit that you love her, I will respect you as an honest man. But how could you cheat on me?"

Terence burst out into laughter. If she hadn't been hurt he would have laid her out onto the bed and taught her a lesson. But he stopped because he didn't want to hurt her injured foot. "Why are you saying that I am cheating on you?

Do you know what I was thinking while I was dancing with her?" asked Terence with a smile on his face.

Carla hugged her knees and looked away, saying, "It's none of my business and I don't care what you were thinking about at all."

"I was thinking that it would be wonderful if my Carla would learn to dance. Then I would hold a ball for you and dance with you all night long." He cupped her face and leaned in to kiss her.

But Carla refused. "Don't kiss me! You kissed another woman with those lips just now."

"Come on. I've brushed my teeth and washed my mouth out many times. You can check for yourself by smelling my breath," said Terence as he pushed himself closer to Carla's face and pecked her on the cheek.

If Bonnie were still behind the screen, she would have been very angry at hearing what Terence had just said.

Carla looked at him closely. Her eyes slowly trailed down to his lips.

They were as red as a ripe cherry. So, Carla had an irresistible urge to taste them.

A second later, Carla kissed him hungrily on the lips.

Terence had to fight the urge to burst into laughter again when he looked at Carla. It seemed like she was going to eat his lips. "Honey, can you bite me gently on the lips?"

When Carla realized what she was doing, she hastily stopped biting his lips and gave a little awkward cough. She pushed him back and rubbed her cheeks that were now flaming red from embarrassment.

She must admit that he was a pretty charming guy who could always drive her crazy.

"I'm going back to my bedroom,"

said Carla as she began to crawl off his bed. But Terence held onto her foot stopping her from moving any further.

"You're not going anywhere. You're staying here tonight,"

Terence said as he pulled Carla into his arms. "Carla, I love you very much. No matter how talented or gentle other women may be. To me, you're perfect just the way you are. You have stolen my heart."

Carla was special.

No matter if she was rude or gentle, in his eyes, she was unique and special.

Terence was fascinated by Carla. He loved her and even her flaws. He loved her so much that he could barely pay any attention to any other woman, other than Carla.

Carla still felt self-conscious for what she did and buried her head into the pillow. She lay on the bed with her back to him and covered her red face with her hand. While she listened to his beautiful sweet words, her heart melted.

In fact, she was confused when she heard Terence say those hurtful words to her. As far as she knew, Terence always kept his promises. Then after hearing his explanation, she felt relieved.

Carla thought, 'Maybe it's just that Bonnie wanted something more, so she followed Terence upstairs and wanted to eavesdrop on our conversation.

Terence didn't want to get things ugly with Bonnie, so he pretended that he didn't love me.'

Carla relaxed feeling at peace and gradually fell asleep.

The next day, Terence got up early. By the time Carla had woken up, he was already working in his office. He had lots of work to catch up on. During the last two days, he had been spending a lot of time with Carla and so he put some of his work off and now he had to finish it all.

When Carla woke up, she felt achy all over. Her legs were really hurting her. 'What's wrong with my legs?' she thought.

"Miss Carla, are you awake?"

Sophie entered the bedroom when she heard Carla moving around. And a woman followed close behind. "Miss Carla, are you feeling sore all over?"

Carla nodded her head. She really felt very uncomfortable, especially her legs. They hurt really badly.

Then Carla remembered that they went climbing yesterday. The YH Mountain was really high it really wore her off. They had trekked there and since Carla wasn't used to sports, her muscles were inflamed and aching now.

"Mr. Terence has arranged a professional masseuse for you. I'm sure she can help alleviate your aches and pains," Sophie said with a pleasant smile. Then she turned to the masseuse and gestured, "Please."

"Miss Carla, could you lay face down on the bed for me please?" instructed the masseuse as she walked towards Carla with a warm smile.

Carla immediately rolled over.

As the masseuse rubbed and kneaded, Carla thought, 'What a wonderful masseuse she is. Terence has chosen the right one. She puts just the right amount of pressure. It really is helping to ease my pain.'

"So, do you always massage Mr. Terence?" asked Carla, exhaling comfortably.

"No, I don't. He only asks my male colleagues to massage him."

Carla felt very pleased upon hearing that.

After the masseuse finished her work, Carla got up and felt much more comfortable than before.

"My suggestion is that you do more sports from now on, Miss Carla. It's good for your health,"

said the masseuse with a smile before she packed her things and left.

Carla agreed with what the masseuse had said. 'She's right. From now on, I should do more sports and do more outdoor activities. Going shopping is not enough. I have to spend more time climbing the mountains and get my whole body involved and stronger, ' she thought.

Later on that day, Terence, Rainer, and Nathan were all away on business. And Sean went to school. Carla was left alone and she felt a little bored.

She was sitting on the swing to pass the time.

"Miss Carla, I'm sorry to bother you. But Mr. Terence ordered some greenery and flowers and they had just arrived. Where should I place them?"

Sophie came up to her and asked.

Carla hopped off the swing and looked at the yard. She saw a lot of fresh flowers and greenery on the back of a large truck.

"Maybe you should make a call to Rainer or Nathan and ask," replied Carla feeling a little awkward.

Sophie smiled patiently and shook her head. "Mr. Terence has told me, that it's up to you. You can place the flowers wherever you like."

Before Carla came to stay at his villa, Terence had told his servants that once Carla moved in, she would be the hostess of the house. If there was anything that they couldn't decide they should ask Carla for advice.

Carla stood dazed for a moment and thought, 'According to what Terence has said to his servants, they might misunderstand and think that I am an absolute dragon.

But at least, it will help me kill the boring hours.'

Carla circled the villa and paid more attention to the places which were suitable for the greenery. Also, she specially consulted a gardener about the feature of greenery and flowers.

An hour later, she asked the gardeners to carry the greenery and flowers to the places that she had planned out.

When she was busy with the placement of the flowers, Sophie came to her again and told her, "Miss Carla, our chief is coming."
