Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 241 Feelings Deepening (Part Two)

Mr. Nicholas was well aware just how much you had to go through, and for that reason, Mr. Marcus will

have no choice but to pay for all the horrible things he had done. As of the moment, everyone is under

the assumption that you're really gone, making Mr. Marcus the victor of the battle for the family

inheritance by default. As the saying goes, 'Losers are always in the wrong.' I'm sure you know full well

just how capable Mr. Marcus is of telling lies. He may very well come up with some sort of excuse and

somehow get away with it unpunished."

Terence quickly had his eyebrows deeply furrowed at the thought of that. In everyone else's eyes, he

was but a mere dead man, and of course, dead men tell no tales. So, people were going to be bound to

believe whatever Marcus ended up telling them.

"I know this is not quite fair. But, you have to patiently wait around for the time being. As for Mr. Marcus

and his group of supporters, well, the bigger they come, the harder they fall. So, when the right time

comes, we'll expose the truth to the public and show every piece of evidence we have. And by then,

Mr. Marcus will finally get what he deserves.

As for the matters concerning the family, you can leave them to Mr. Nicholas. He said he will take care

of everything else himself. Please make no doubt about, and you can rest assured that everything's

going to be okay. So, you don't have to worry about a thing."

Race assumed an encouraging tone. Turning his gaze over to Carla, wearing a big smile on his face,

he continued, "Miss Carla, that was very fearless of you to go on your own and jump at the jaws of

death all for the sake of Mr. Terence. I can't express just how thankful we are for your faithfulness. Mr.

Nicholas had been utterly moved by what you have done for his precious grandson.

He stated that you are truly the one made for Mr. Terence. From this day forward, the only thing you

have to do is to stay by Mr. Terence's side and take good care of him. As for your future, there's no

need for you to worry about that as well."

Lowering her gaze a little, Carla seemed so deep in thought. During his early days, Nicholas had been

through innumerable hardships. It appeared that he was keen-eyed enough to be able to distinguish

who was simply pulling his leg and who was the best option to become the family's heir.

He had even sent Race all the way to wherever that secluded house might be just to put Terence's

mind at ease, letting him know that there was nothing to worry about and that all he should focus on

was his health.

Carla had heard once before that Terence was supposedly Nicholas's favorite grandson. Now, after

everything she just heard and saw, she finally verified its truth. He was indeed quite fond of Terence.

Terence's eyes had been totally fixated on Carla, professing his feelings for her.

He found out about all of the things she had gone through to prepare herself and head over to NF to

come and save him. And the thought of how well she moved in the jungle was something he wouldn't

ever forget.

His beloved Carla had never really failed to impress him. She was just always full of pleasant surprises.

However, he wanted to make sure that all of her efforts and all the sacrifices she had made would not

be allowed to go in vain.

"I understand. If that's what he said, then I'm going to take his word for it. Thank you, Race. I really Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

appreciate it. Please tell grandfather that I'm doing quite well here so he doesn't have to worry about

me. And Race, please promise me that you'll take good care of him for me, okay?" Terence did not

refuse Nicholas's offer to lend him a helping hand.

Truth be told, he could just as easily take care of everything on his own. But he felt like Nicholas longed

to show others that he was still in good shape and quite powerful. As his favorite grandson, of course,

Terence would want to indulge an old man's desires.

Upon seeing Race to the door, Carla immediately headed over to the kitchen and asked the cook to

prepare some broth for Terence. She thought that it could help him get a speedy recovery.

All that was left to do now was to have some much-needed rest and prepare themselves for all the

difficulties waiting for them.

For that reason, despite the fact that she honestly wished to be by his side so badly, she decided to

give Terence some space for the time being so he could have a much more relaxing environment.

She had already been back for three days now. It just came to her all of a sudden that she still hadn't

gone to the Seaview Villa to visit Sean yet. Her journey felt so long that it made her miss her younger

brother so, so much. Terence and his men couldn't just casually show up there like they used to, but

she still could.

Because Terence's enemies had no interest in her, she wasn't a target and could safely move around

as she pleased.

To those people, it didn't really make a difference if she was alive or not.

The second she swung the door open and stepped foot inside, Sean hastily threw himself onto her,

wrapping his arms around her neck. It appeared as though he had heard about what happened and so.

He anxiously asked her a barrage of questions.

"Carla, where is Terence right now? What is he doing? Why didn't he come here with you? Why is it

that he still hasn't returned yet?"

She seriously wanted to avoid this question, but obviously, she failed miserably. Sean clenched his jaw,

silently awaiting her response.

"Terence is currently on a business trip taking care of some things. Haven't I mentioned that to you

before already? He'll be staying there for about three months, if I remember correctly. And as of the

moment, there's still a month to go." Carla handed over to him a lunch box, in an attempt to help get his

mind off of this topic. The box was filled with spicy crayfish, a dish that happened to be Sean's favorite.

Surprisingly though, Sean simply brushed it off, grabbing tightly onto her arm. "Carla, please tell me the

truth. Some of my classmates have told me that there's going to be a significant power shift in JA City,

and it's because Terence had unfortunately gotten into an accident and died. But that's not true, is it,

Carla?" Sean asked, with tears welling up on his eyes.

The question had backed her into a corner. She just wasn't prepared enough to hear that question, so

she didn't know what to tell him.

When all was said and done, in the end, Sean was still a kid. If she let him in on their secret, there was

a possibility that he might spill the beans and throw a monkey wrench in their plans.

At this point in time, it was much better to be safe than sorry.

"What are you talking about, Sean? There's no way that can be true. Just pay them no heed. Terence

is going to come back home safe and sound, just you wait. And when he returns, that should put the lid

on all of those rumors."

Carla brushed his hair and heaved a heavy sigh.

Giving it his best to hold back the tears, Sean quietly lowered his gaze. 'So they haven't found Terence.

Then there's a good chance the rumors could be true.

But I just can't accept that, not in the slightest bit!

Terence is much too strong and powerful. I don't think there's anybody out there who can defeat him so

easily!' Sean firmly believed.

Carla really hated seeing her brother so down in the dumps. Wrapping him gently in her arms, she

lovingly tousled his hair. Being his older sister, she was well aware of what Sean was thinking and if

she was completely being honest, she actually felt the same way. But it would be for the best for her to

keep it all in, at least for now.

'Sean, I really didn't want you to go through this. But I still have faith that justice will come out on top at

the end of all of this. There will be a glowing light at the end of the tunnel. And it won't be long before

we reach it.

We have to steel our resolve and withstand all of the punches that they might throw at us. After we get

through all of these hardships, then we can finally live a happy life. I'm sure it's all going to be worth the

pain, ' Carla pondered to herself.

Carla stayed around to hang out with Sean up until dusk, but still, she had to say goodbye at the end of

the day and leave the villa. Turning around, she gave the house a good hard look. The building stood

there, huge and oh-so-imposing.

But Terence wasn't staying there anymore, and neither was Carla. The huge house looked so sad and

lonely, and it felt much too empty.

"Oh, my gosh! Carla? Is that really you? I can't believe it! You're still alive! Where have you been?!"

Suddenly, a silhouette cropped up from out of the mist.
