Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 163

Carla heard his words. She looked up at him and waited for his explanation.

Terence frowned and remained silent. He didn't how to explain it. He didn't even know how to start.

He was afraid that if he told her the truth, she wouldn't be able to process it. Her true identity was kept a secret for twenty-three years.

It was not only about her. It was also about her little brother, Sean.

"Carla, please let me explain. Just give me more time. There are more to the story than what you think," said Terence. He was not convincing at all.

He stuttered while he was trying to explain the situation. Carla chuckled and said, "Okay. There are still ten days left before Sean is finished with this semester. You can think about it and explain it to me later. You better come up with a good excuse."

Carla knew that there was nothing more to be explained.

She just gave him hope. She wanted to make him feel better.

Terence took her back to the Seaview Villa.

Neither of them said anything while they were on their way home.

Rainer who was driving the car also felt the tension in the air. Usually when they bicker, they tend to argue heatedly. But today, there was only dead silence.

They just recently made up from their previous argument. How could this happen again so soon?

Terence had already asked Sophie to prepare their lunch in advance.

When they got home, their lunch was already prepared for them.

When they were already seated at the table, Terence kept on picking food onto her plate. He remained silent while they ate.

After lunch, Carla went upstairs to take a nap.

Terence checked the time on his watch and realized that there was still time left before his afternoon meeting. He thought he better follow her.

When he arrived in her room, he saw that Carla was not taking a nap.

Instead, he saw that she was unpacking her suitcase. He felt terrible and didn't know what he could say or do to comfort her. He ran up to her and held her firmly in his arms.

"Carla, I'm sorry..."

He could only utter those three words. He wanted to explain but he was at a lost for words.

Carla decided to accept his apology. She turned to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "All right. I heard from Rainer that you have a meeting this afternoon. Go ahead and attend your meeting."

She was slowly accepting the fact that he was going to marry Bonnie. When he admitted it to her in person earlier, she felt relieved somehow.

"Carla, I..." Terence said. He looked directly at her eyes as if he was trying to convey his feelings to her without saying any words. He held her body tightly to his and kissed her on the temple. "Carla, don't go anywhere. Please just wait for me at home. I'll be back soon. Let's talk when I get back."

Carla nodded and removed herself from his embrace. "Okay, go. Don't worry about me. I promise you that I will never run away."

Terence looked at her face and kissed her on the lips. When he was convinced that she would not run away from him, he left to attend his meeting.

That afternoon, Carla took a nap and went to the garden when she woke up. She trimmed the trees and flowers with the help of the gardeners. She also arranged flowers that she got from the garden and brought it inside the house.

Oddly enough, she felt calm and peaceful all day.

However, in the late afternoon before the sun went down, someone unexpectedly came to visit.

It was Bonnie.

"Terence! Terence, please let me explain!"

Bonnie rushed to the house as soon as she got out of the car. It was clear that she was very agitated. Compared to her previous elegant image, she resembled a ragged peacock at that moment.

"Terence! Come out! Listen to me! I didn't..."

Bonnie shouted inside the house like a crazy woman. She kept on looking around for Terence. She totally disregarded her image because of her desperation.

"Miss Bonnie, please calm down. Mr. Terence is currently not at home. Please have a seat first," Sophie comforted her. She was feeling sorry for Bonnie.

Carla heard the noise and looked down on them from the top of the stairs. She saw Bonnie howling in the living room with tears rushing down her face. Her make-up was all smudged. Her sobbing made her whole body shudder.

Carla decided not to go downstairs. She knew that the last person that Bonnie would want to see was her.

She had no idea why Bonnie was crying like that.

Fortunately, Terence went home early that night.

As soon as he entered the house, Bonnie flung herself at him and started crying her heart out.

"Terence! Please! Don't cancel our engagement. There is nothing between me and Yves. You are mistaken about us! I dated him a long time ago. We haven't been in touch for years. There is truly nothing between us now. Terence, please trust me!"

Bonnie was exhausted because of crying all day. She leaned on Terence because she was suddenly unable to stand on her own.

Terence glanced at Carla who was standing at the top of the stairs. After meeting her gaze, he returned his attention back to Bonnie who was leaning on his chest. He pushed Bonnie away from him and into the sofa.

"Bonnie, we are adults now. You should know that you are responsible for your own actions. Do you think crying will solve all your problems?"

Bonnie shook her head violently and stood up. She grabbed his hand firmly and begged, "Terence, I love you! I love you so much! How could I possibly cheat on you? It's impossible! I would never do such a thing!"

Terence laughed at her coldly and said, "Bonnie, we both know that you don't really love me. You just love my wealth and my status. What if I were not a son of the An family? What if I were nothing more but a poor man who has no wealth? Would you still love me?"

He knew that Bonnie deliberately plotted the car accident when they first met.

Back then, she didn't even know Terence. She just agreed to marry him because he was a member of the An family.

In this world, there was only one woman who truly loved him. Only one woman accepted him no matter who he was.

Terence looked up at Carla who was standing on top of the stairs.

Bonnie cried hysterically while shaking her head. She kept on tugging at Terence's shirt. "Terence, I swear! I don't care whether you're rich or poor. I love you! I will always love you for the rest of my life. Please don't cancel the engagement. Please!"

"Stop it, Bonnie. Yves is a good man. He came back from abroad and now owns a small company. He has the means to support you,"

said Terence as he removed his hand from her grip.

That day, when he left the club with Carla, Bonnie and Yves enjoyed themselves with each other in the room upstairs for the whole afternoon. It was true that he drugged her wine but he only added a small dosage. Bonnie could have managed to control herself if she wanted to.

However, she decided not to control herself. She indulged in the pleasure that Yves gave her.

Yves was good at pleasing women. He was sure that they had a great time being intimate with each other.

The next day, he was informed that Bonnie and Yves met again at the same place. They did the same thing for an entire night. The first time was an accident but the second time was definitely on purpose.

He would never accept a fiancee who had an intimate relationship with another man!

"Bonnie! Come here!"

Suddenly, a loud voice echoed through the living room.

Carla looked at where the voice came from and saw that it was Noah who spoke.

Why did he come?
