Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 155 Not Letting You Bargain On This One

Terence stood outside, listening by the bathroom door. He felt there was something fishy going on.

Carla didn't usually make him wait like this.

"D-Don't worry! I'll be finished soon!" Carla replied with panic present in her voice. After washing herself

roughly, she went outside and her eyes met Terence's worried ones.

"Carla, can you tell me what's wrong?"

he asked, frowning. Something was indeed fishy today. She wasn't acting like herself.

Carla was drying her hair with a towel. "There's nothing wrong. I'm fine. If I am not feeling energetic

today, it's because I am not used of not working. I am usually busy with work and frequently work

overtime."

Terence couldn't help but grin. "You should know that you now are my woman. I would rather have you

not do anything than work yourself to death like a horse.

If money is your concern, I can make more than enough. The only thing you need to do is to love me

and enjoy life with me. Get used to it!"

Then he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, leading both of them into the bedroom. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Carla gave a moonlit smile, leaning her head on his shoulder. "What if I couldn't get used to it, hm?"

Terence answered, "Well, I don't think you'll really get used to it. After all, you still get a lot of work to

do. Once you have wedded into the An family, there are many tasks waiting for you. The An family is

huge and many domestic affairs will be entrusted to you."

Terence took the towel from her hair and dried her hair with it carefully and gently.

As An family's future hostess, Carla would have to deal with a lot of things. They might be in the clan

itself or their own family.

Even if her responsibility sounded big on her shoulders, he would be there for her and make sure she

didn't carry the burden all by herself.

Carla sat down on the sofa, chewing on her lower lip. Wasn't he going to her the truth?

Would she be able to marry him? Would she be able to share the responsibilities for him?

In marriage, love and responsibilities would go hand in hand. Was she even qualified to take on those

responsibilities? Many questions rang in Carla's head.

Terence used the hairdryer on her hair, snapping her out of her thoughts. His dark eyes were filled with

concern. "Carla, seriously. What happened? Can you tell me? I'm so worried about you."

She seemed to have her head up in the clouds more often. She started to space out more frequently. In

his point of view, something must have been wrong with her.

Perhaps the kidnapping several days ago caused a severe trauma to her.

Carla blinked. She looked at their reflection at mirror and replied, "I wish to return to BH City once

Sean's training session is over. There are things I need to handle at home."

Terence froze for a moment and gently turned her to face him. "Is it because of this issue?"

Carla hummed as she nodded.

Terence sighed. Even though he wasn't keen on letting her go, he didn't force to keep her staying since

he saw how it made her feel unhappy.

"Very well then. I promise you that I'll let you go to BH City once everything was settled." Then he

pointed out his index finger. "But Sean will have to stay. It's unfair to let him go now since he studied so

hard to catch with the other students in that school. Don't let his hard work go waste."

Carla's eyes widened and shook her head. "No way! Are you mad? How can I leave him alone here?"

He smirked, "Not going to let you bargain on this one."

Deep down, he was afraid that if Sean returned with her, she would leave him forever.

He knew that Sean was the most important person for her. If Sean would stay with him, she wouldn't be

able to stay long in BH City.

She tried to speak up, "B-But..."

Terence interrupted her, "Have you forgotten I am Sean's future brother-in-law? I'm also a part of his

family now. He will be staying with me.

What are you so worried about? I won't discuss this further."

She chewed her lip. He knew that he was being reasonable enough. She tried to find a suitable reason

but failed to. She raised her voice in anger. "That's not fair! You are threatening me!"

Bingo. He knew that Sean was her weak spot.

"Of course, I am threatening you. We both knew that you have a record here," He caressed her cheek.

He was amused on how she behaved like a spoiled brat and how he would punish her for being

naughty.

She glared at him angrily and shouted, "Don't touch me! I'm going to my room!"

He still gave a teasing smirk and pulled her down to make her sit on his lap. "Look at you! You're

always hot-tempered for no reason! Getting mad frequently is not good for your skin. You'll look old

faster!"

"Who cares? It's none of your business!" she snapped. She pushed his hands away and tried to stand

up again. Unfortunately, he pulled her down again.

She could only glare at him.

"Like I said, you are now my woman. Everything that matters to you also matters to me. So tell me,

how this isn't my business?" He couldn't help but tease her as he saw her blushing angry face.

He actually didn't want to make her mad but still did anyway. He was amused on how she looked like a

hamster with her cheeks huffed up in annoyance.

She could only roll her eyes.

She wanted to ask him on why he kept saying that even if he was already engaged to Bonnie.

He was making a stupid illusion for her and she was stupid enough to believe it!

She didn't say a single word.

Carla looked at this man. His sincere eyes made her feel guilty of doubting him. Even if the happiness

around them seemed so fake, she didn't want to break it.

Moreso, she wanted to give Sean a beautiful life before he finished his one-month study here. She

hoped that they could finally live peacefully.

As expected, Terence didn't let her return to her own bedroom. They lay down together on bed and he

embraced her with closed eyes.

With a sleepy voice, he blurted out, "Carla, how long does your period last?"

She replied in a sleep voice, "Around five days.

It varies from woman to woman, you know."

"So yours will be over in two days, if I recall correctly," he added.

"Hmph!" Carla grunted and fell asleep.

Terence sighed and gave a peck on her lips softly. He suppressed his urges and only closed his eyes.

The next morning, Terence woke up early and decided to make breakfast for her. He knew that she

loved porridge so he cooked it for her.

Terence called out, "Carla, you better have breakfast now. I have something to show you later."

It was already 9 AM when he called her.

She stretched up lazily as she yawned. Then she quickly sat on the bed.

"Something to show me? What is it?" She asked curiously.

She drank a cup of water and took a sip of the porridge. She smiled happily. It was very delicious.

Terence replied, "You'll find out once we get there. It's a surprise."

Bonnie had done such an evil thing to Carla. How could he just let it go so easily?

Not to mention, besides Bonnie, there was the other group in Hua family that wanted to harm Carla.

Before he found out the other group, he would just pin them all onto Bonnie first. As for the other group,

they wouldn't be able to survive for long.

Terence was certain that after today's show, he would be calling off the engagement to Bonnie.

Carla savored the porridge happily and gazed at Terence's serious face. She couldn't help but ponder

on what he was thinking. Then she only shrugged and took her last spoonful of porridge.

Once breakfast was finished, they both prepared themselves to leave home together.
