Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 113 How Did You Come In ! (Part One)

Terence gazed upon himself along with everything else around him and smiled, feeling quite proud of

himself and pulling over a thin Durham quilt to cover himself up. And then he laid right next to her and

whispered closely to her ear, "You've been writing me off for so long, so I can't help but fall even more

in love when there's a beauty right here by my side."

Carla didn't bother humoring him with a response. All she did was to gently bury her head into

Terence's arms and pull the quilt over to herself as well, closing her eyes and snuggling into his arms to

take a nap without a care in the world.

She had slept for more than an hour after that. When she finally woke up, Terence wasn't by her side

anymore and had already gone.

She quickly scrambled for her mobile phone to check it, and found a single unread message.

"I'm sorry I left without saying a word. You looked so beautiful in your sleep that I didn't want to disturb

you. I have to visit the hospital first, and then I'll just come over to see you and Sean later in the

evening."

It was a message sent by Terence after he left.

Carla lay sprawled out on the bed, looking at this message, and even though she didn't really want to,

she let a soft smile slip into her face.

Today, he answered Bonnie's call while he was in her presence, indicating that he did not intend to hide

anything regarding his affair with Bonnie. He didn't seem to mind even if Carla was listening to their

conversation.

Actually, Terence ?didn't bother to hide anything from her.

The bond between Bonnie and Terence was only driven by commercial interest, solely for financial

gains. So, Terence didn't really feel anything for his so-called fiancee. It was nothing personal, strictly

just business.

And it wasn't like there was anything he had to hide about the work that they do.

In the Hospital.

Due to the burns she received from the chili oil that got smeared onto her face, Bonnie's eyes had to be

covered with eye patches, under which the medicine for immediate relief had been applied. The doctor

advised her not to take it off until the wounds have fully healed.

"Terence, Terence, are you here? Answer me please."

Bonnie wanted to quickly rip the eye patch off the second she heard the doorbell ring. After squinting

the tiniest bit possible and faintly recognizing the familiar figure who had just entered the room, she

sprung up from her sickbed and excitedly rushed toward him!

As soon as Terence came in to check how she was doing, Bonnie hurriedly ran toward him at

breakneck speed and wrapped her arms around him and embraced him. She let him go for just a brief

moment, but, as if she was so afraid of losing him, she immediately hugged him again as tight as she

possibly could.

"Terence, you're finally here!

Terence, tell me you won't ever leave me, that you'll fall in love with and yearn for me, won't you

please?"

Bonnie implored him, in such great fear of losing his love.

Even though the time they had spent together might have been brief, it was more than enough to make

an impact on Bonnie. From the beginning, she had always seen Terence as some sort of God high up

on a floating island above, somewhere far beyond her reach. Although he was there, he still seemed so

unattainable and so far away.

Terence rested his hands on her shoulders and patted her, then said in a voice so tender and warm,

"Bonnie, you are the one and only beloved daughter of the Hua Family. Do you really think I would ever

dare do anything to hurt you?"

There was nothing wrong with what he said. He merely stated a fact.

But for some reason, Bonnie was a bit surprised after hearing him say that.

Others might not be aware of it.

However, she knew the truth that Mr. Hua as well as Mrs. Hua were actually infertile. They had tried to

get her to conceive, but sadly it was to no avail. But they didn't want other people to find out about it, so

they adopted a little girl from the orphanage—that being Bonnie—along with two older brothers and

one younger brother.

At that time, she might have still been too young, but she could remember those things quite clearly.

"Terence, if, and I mean only if, I wasn't the daughter of the Huas, and I was just like any other common

girl and didn't have that noble status, is there a chance that you'd still want to be with me?"

Bonnie could barely even see him clearly, but she still tried her best to look him straight in the eyes with

tears streaming down her face. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Terence looked at her as his lips slowly quirked into a smile and then carefully helped her put the eye

patch back, "What are you talking about? Let's say that you weren't the daughter of the Huas. Without

the status, without the power of that name, do you honestly think my father would still agree to our

engagement?"

"There are no what ifs in the world we live in. There exists only one truth, and the truth is that we are

engaged now, aren't we? Either you go all the way or you back off completely."

Bonnie's heart had been overwhelmed by so much sadness.

She knew better than anyone that if it wasn't for her noble status, and if it wasn't for Terence's father

doing everything in his power to arrange the engagement, there was no way the two of them could

have ever been together.

The two of them may not have said a single word to each other, but... they both knew he was right

when he said that there are no ifs in the world. 'There only exists what is, and not what it ought to

be.'Bonnie thought to herself.

Currently, she is the sole daughter among her siblings, the pride of the Huas, and the most wonderful

and most reputable girl in the family. For that reason, the Ans wouldn't ever dream of doing anything to

hurt her, let alone, leave her and bring shame upon her family.

So, what else was there that she could possibly even be afraid of?

At this point in time, she had gone far from being the little she once was who grew up at the mercy of

other people in the orphanage.

With all of those thoughts running in circles in her mind, Bonnie held Terence in her arms tighter, much

tighter.

He was the only person she knew she could count on, and the fate of her future could be at stake.

Since she was just adopted, she wasn't technically a true biological daughter of the Huas, so she could

only think of one way for her to secure a good future for herself, and that was to get into the An family

by marrying Terence.

She had three other brothers that also got taken in by the Huas along with her—first, her eldest brother,

Noah; her second elder brother, York; and third, the youngest among her other brothers, Triston—and

all three of them were alarmingly ruthless and unforgiving. They might be known by everyone else as

the children of Mr. and Mrs. Hua, but the four of them were in no way bound by blood, so they were

neither loving nor attached to each other except by familial interest.

The "tigers" in the Hua family had grown up, so she was afraid of what could end up happening by the

time the need to split up the family properties arose. There was no way to tell, but surely it could even

get bloody.

Because of her fear, she realized that only by marrying Terence would she be able to secure and get

her hands on a place to stay that was as big as the Ans properties and spend the remainder of her life

in safety.

Therefore, she couldn't bear to lose him! Not to anyone else!
