Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 140

Raising the goblet to her lips, Carla drank the wine to the very last drop.

She put on an alluring smile and turned to face Terence. Looking him straight in the eyes, she took his hand and brought it slowly up to her mouth. She used his finger to slowly wipe the wine drops from her lips.

Then, ever so slowly, she licked and sucked his finger. She felt his body react and tense up.

His dark eyes gazed at her, he could feel a raging fire stirring in the pit of his hard stomach.

Carla was just having a bit of fun and teased him.

She got him so fired up that he could barely resist the temptation. This woman could make a scene like a shrew, but she could also seduce Terence like an enchantress.

Suddenly, Terence grabbed her around the waist and kissed her throat. "And? That's all?" he said in a low husky voice. "That's not enough for a grown man like me."

Carla's eyelashes fluttered. The look of complete purity returned back to her face. "But—I don't know anything more than that. I learned that from a movie."

Terence burst into laughter.

This woman was a total wild card. He could never predict what she would do next. Right after arousing his desire, she dragged him back into reality with her innocence and purity.

Forget it. After all, she was still a young girl.

"All right then. Give me a kiss and I'll let you go." Terence smiled and bent down a little. "They have set the table. Kiss me and we'll go downstairs to have dinner."

Carla stood on her tiptoes. She drew her lips close to Terence's and just as she was about to kiss his lips, she nibbled his Adam's apple instead.

After that trick, she turned and bolted out the door to the elevator.

When Terence came out of his daze, he chased after her. He found her pulling faces at him from the elevator just before the door closed.

Terence smiled and touched his throat where she had just nibbled him. A wave of arousal flooded over him once again at her unexpected behavior.

His Carla wasn't that innocent any more.

But, he liked that.

After dinner, Carla and Sean went for a seaside walk. The beautiful night was lit up by a silvery moonlight and the sky was filled with millions of dazzling stars.

Terence had joined them shortly afterward.

With the moonlight highlighting his broad shoulders he walked in between the two of them and held both of their hands. They looked just like a family of three.

Among the three, Sean had the widest smile on his little face.

"Shall we go back, Miss Bonnie? It's getting late,"

Burton asked, holding a telescope in his hand. Bonnie stood on a huge boulder, using her telescope to spy on the three figures in the distance.

She put the telescope down, her face cold and menacing. "I have been engaged to Terence for a long time now. Not once have I met Nicholas.

But today he came here in person. I don't get it. What was he doing here?"

As instructed by Bonnie, Burton didn't drive into the villa. Instead, he parked his car nearby.

Bonnie wasn't planning on coming. But since she was living with the Ans she got wind of the rumor. She put a lot of effort into finding out more information and discovered that Nicholas had visited the Seaview Villa today.

She was stunned at the news.

Why did he come to see that woman? Bonnie was on pins and needles. Even though it was getting late she urged Burton to drive her to the villa.

"Please try not to think too much, Miss Bonnie. We all know that Mr. Terence lives here and that he's Nicholas's favorite grandson. Grandfather visits his own grandson; that's perfectly normal,"

Burton said to console her.

Bonnie lifted the telescope and saw the three dim figures walking on the beach in the distance. "But who did Nicholas come to see, since Terence wasn't here today?"

After a moment's silence, Burton answered, "You really mustn't overthink it, Miss Bonnie. Seeing is believing. Since there's no clear evidence, you don't have to worry about anything."

Gazing at the other two figures in the distance, she couldn't tell who they were. But her gut feeling was that the two people were her sworn enemies. Carla and Sean.

She felt restless at the thought of the two strolling leisurely in the beautiful moonlight with Terence.

Women were suspicious.

Though Terence had said that she was his fiancee and Carla was nothing more than a woman once saved his life. She heard that herself. But Bonnie still had that nagging feeling. Terence and Carla were now always together and maybe love would develop between them with time.

Bonnie could tell by what Terence had said to Carla that night, that he actually looked down on her. He had little affection for Carla, at least for now. But she didn't know what could happen in the future.

'No, I won't allow that.

I'll get her out of the house and keep her away from Terence.

It seems impossible for Terence to drive Carla out of the house and abandon her entirely.

Unless—' Bonnie mused.

"Let's go, Burton,"

said Bonnie as she got back into the car.

She had to think it over.

Perhaps she could incite Carla to displease Terence. But that would prove difficult to do. She wasn't familiar with Carla and acting rashly may lead to unexpected results.

However, there was another way that was possible to make Terence hate Carla and even refuse to see her.

Bonnie remembered a real case that happened in college.

One of her girl friends was dating a boy and he loved the girl very much. Everyone thought they would be happy forever. However, something unfortunate happened. The girl was drugged and raped. The boy pretended not to care. But in fact, he began to despise the girl in his heart.

Many men are obsessed with women's chastity. They wouldn't let other men put a finger on their woman.

She wondered, 'If that bitch was raped by another man, would she be so shameless as to stay with Terence?

Ha! I'll have to wait and see.'

But what she didn't know was that it was her impatience that fulfilled someone else's wishes.

In the villa, when they finished their walk, Carla told Sean to take a shower and then she went back to her own room because she was tired.

The moment Terence walked in, Nathan came to report what he had seen.

"Mr. Terence, according to the picture taken by the surveillance camera. Miss Bonnie arrived near the villa an hour ago. But she stopped halfway. Now she is driving down the mountain."

Nathan found her behavior suspicious so he reported this to Terence.

Terence strode into his room indifferently. Taking off his coat, he mocked, "Women are oversensitive.

Carla stays with me now and we are always together. Bonnie's bound to get suspicious. My words may have had some effect but wouldn't put off all of her doubts."

Putting his nightgown on, Terence turned to Nathan. "How is the investigation on Bonnie going?"

Nathan nodded and answered in a serious tone.

"Bonnie is a careful person. At school, she behaved well and seldom made mistakes. She is always obedient to her parents' wishes.

However, at sixteen, she fell in love with a boy. Her family kept it as a secret, but I discovered it.

Bonnie loved him very much and often would sneak out to meet him. They most likely had sex and because of that, her parents locked her up for a month.

Back then, it was only a guess. But six months later, the guess was confirmed, because Bonnie went to the hospital for an operation. Well, you know, a restoring operation for young women."

Nathan paused for a moment and then continued, "I guess it's probably not a big deal for girls of that age, but for a prominent family like the Huas, it was scandalous.

The family tried to disguise the fact and that's why they forced her to have the restoring operation, in fear that peoples would use it against them in the future."

Terence wasn't in the least bit surprised by what Nathan told him. He simply tightened the belt and replied, "I see. Find the boy for me, and create a chance meeting for them."

"Yes, Mr. Terence," responded Nathan.

"Oh. If he is poverty-stricken, don't forget to lend him a hand. Otherwise, the noble Miss Bonnie may look down on him."

With that, he went off to the bathroom.
