Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 164

When Bonnie saw Noah approaching, she was fearful and ashamed. She had spontaneously hidden behind Terence and didn't want to face any of her family members, especially her brother, Noah.

"Mr. Terence. I am sorry for what has happened. I'm here to take Bonnie back home. It's our fault that this shameful thing has happened. It seems that we have spoiled her too much. I only hope that you can find it within yourself to pardon what Bonnie has done, for the sake of our two families!"

As Noah spoke, he made his way towards Bonnie and reached out to pull her from behind Terence's back.

"Noah, no! I won't go! I don't want to call off the engagement! Please!" Bonnie cried out. She pleaded desperately and struggled to free herself from Noah's tight grip that was around her wrist.

Noah frowned and scolded, "That's enough, Bonnie! Have you no shame? How can you even mention your engagement to Mr. Terence?

You will come home now and think about all the damage that you have caused!"

Noah pulled her to him and pushed her behind his back. He bowed solemnly to Terence. "Mr. Terence, I apologize for my sister's unacceptable behavior. I'm sincerely sorry for what has happened. This is our fault. I'm going to take her home, and she will be punished. After her mind clears, she will apologize to you in person, next time."

Once Noah had finished talking, he glanced at Carla, who was standing on the staircase.

He then grabbed Bonnie, turned on his heels, and abruptly left.

Noah forced Bonnie to get into his car.

"Noah, why didn't you help me? Yes, What I did was wrong. But Terence betrayed me first. Why do you all only blame me now? It's so unfair!" Bonnie cried hysterically.

"Foolish woman!"

Noah snapped coldly. "Bonnie, Terence is a man. The fact that he has a mistress doesn't harm his reputation. Besides, do you have any proof of his affair? You're different! You are the daughter of the Hua family. A high born lady. Your scandalous behavior is a disgrace to our house! How can a prominent house, like the An family, accept you into their home now? Let it all go!"

Bonnie sobbed. She refused to accept the result that their engagement would be called off.

"Have a good look at these pictures! They're all from that bastard, Yves' cell phone! How dare you go to Terence and ask him for forgiveness!"

Noah reprimanded and threw the cell phone to her. Then he started the car and left Terence's Seaview Villa.

Bonnie picked up the phone with trembling hands. She swallowed a lump in her throat and pressed to open the file. To her horror, she saw the sex video and naked pictures of her having sex with Yves. It was obvious from the angle that the photographs and video were taken, that Yves was the one who took them.

She was shaking because of how furious she felt.

Bonnie didn't expect that Yves would ruin her life for the second time. She would be pleased to see him dead right now.

"But Noah, why do you have the video from Yves' cell phone? And how did Terence know about it at all?" Bonnie asked through sobs.

Noah furrowed his brows and glanced at his sister while he was driving. "Bonnie, you really are a fool to ask such a question. Do you have any idea where you are right now? This is JA City! The An family's domain. You screwed around with another man, several times. Did you really think that you could hide it from the An family?

And another thing, you knew that Terence didn't like you. By doing this, you handed the evidence to him on a silver platter. How could he not use such an excellent opportunity against you?

It may also have been planned by someone. But it doesn't matter now. Even if it does prove to have been a trap, you have already swallowed the bait!"

Bonnie didn't say a word after that.

She began to recall the whole story in her mind. Now, when she had thought more about it, the sudden appearance of Yves, was quite suspicious.

Why did he show up at that critical moment, right after her engagement and there had been no sight of him up until then?

Did Terence secretly arrange it all?

Why did he do such a thing and insult her like that?

"It turns out that Terence did all of that for her," she sneered when she realized the motive behind it all.

After she thought through everything, she knew who was to blame, Carla.

Thanks to Carla, she had lost Terence forever.

During that moment, at the Seaview Villa, after Carla had witnessed the humiliating and disgraceful scene of Bonnie being dragged out by Noah, confusion rose in her heart. As far as she could see, Terence had gone to extreme lengths to make it impossible for Bonnie to get back with him.

Why would he do that? She didn't understand.

She was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt Terence leading her up the stairs with him.

"Carla, you have seen for yourself now that I will never marry Bonnie. Or, let me put it this way. Bonnie is not the only daughter of the Hua family,"

Terence explained to her after they went into his room. He had thought for quite a while of how to explain it to her. He didn't want to cover it up with another lie, because she would eventually know the truth in the future.

So he decided to tell her a small segment of the truth, even though she might misunderstand him temporarily. She would get to know the truth bit by bit.

Otherwise, If he weren't completely honest with her, then she would end up hating him for lying to her.

His words left Carla utterly stupefied. She made a gesture to stop Terence.

"Terence, I don't understand what you just said. Do you mean that you are going to marry another daughter of the Hua family, instead of Bonnie?" she asked.

The Hua family had many branches, of course, Bonnie wasn't the only female.

She had thought that only the most distinguished branch could match with the An family. That was why she had always assumed that Terence would marry Bonnie.

Terence rubbed his temples and let out a long sigh. He looked at Carla with frustration.

"Yes, you're right."

Carla nodded after she heard his reply. The gleam of hope in her eyes had dimmed, and she looked away. "I understand now. You promised your father that you would marry the daughter of the Hua family, because, you fell in love with another girl of the Hua family, instead of Bonnie. Isn't that right?

So the girl that you want to marry isn't Bonnie, but another woman, right?"

Terence's eyebrows furrowed. Then he nodded, "Yes."

He couldn't deny it, because what she was guessing, was right.

The girl that Terence had wanted to marry all along had always only ever been Carla. Even if she had not been the daughter of the Hua family, he would marry her, despite which family she had been born in.

If only her background were as simple as she assumed it was, then Terence would have proposed to her by now.

Unexpectedly, Carla grabbed Terence's hand and bit into his arm as hard as she could. She bit down with such force that her teeth pierced the skin and drew blood.

The pain made Terence frown, but he didn't make a sound nor move.

Once she had finished, Carla released his arm and wiped the blood stain from her mouth with the back of her hand. She glared at Terence with anger and hatred in her eyes. "Do you know why I bit you?

Because you're such a playboy! You play with one woman and then another. You're never satisfied with what you have, are you? You have to prove your charm to every woman in the world!"

Terence looked down at the wound on his arm with a scowl. Then he looked at Carla and said in a quiet voice, "You're so kind to me. Maybe you should just bite it off.

And maybe you will remember this and regret it in the future when you finally learn everything."

Carla would only truly understand everything that Terence had done and what he had sacrificed for her in the future.

Then Terence pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, unmindful of his bleeding arm. He didn't let go of her no matter how she struggled and cursed.

"Terence An! Let go of me! I swear I'll tear you apart if you don't let me go! You're such a jerk!" Carla tried everything she could to resist. However, she was still tightly wrapped in Terence's embrace.

"Go ahead. I'm not letting you go even if you tear me to shreds," Terence whispered, while he still held Carla tightly in his arms.

Carla only bit him because she was deeply hurt by his words and how candid he was about it. It was a bit of frenzied attack. She could never hurt him on purpose, for she cared too much for him.

"All right. Stop it. You're bleeding. You should get that cleaned up. Just let me help you,"

Carla said, as she touched the blood on his arm.

Terence released her from his embrace. He gazed at her with many thoughts running through his mind and caressed her face gently.

"Carla, you will know just how much I love you, one day."

He chose not to tell her the whole truth because he didn't want to burden her with worries. He was afraid that it might hurt her before he cleared the way for her. There were too many enemies would hurt Carla once her true identity was exposed. That was something he would never allow to happen.

Sometimes, staying uninformed was a blessing.

"Yes, I can tell it even now! You're such a jerk! You set a trap for me, and now I'm stuck in it. What else can I do?" Carla looked at him, angrily and pushed him away.

Then she went to get the first aid case. She cleaned the wound and disinfected it. Finally, she put some medicine on it and bandaged it up.

Terence waited patiently for her to finish. Once she did, he embraced her again and pleaded pathetically, "Carla, even though you think I'm a playboy, I am a bachelor now. Can you stay with me, and not leave me?"

He chose to be misunderstood by Carla this time. However, when the time was right in the future, he would tell her the truth.
