Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 263 Sean Visits Terence

"Rainer, where is Terence? What is he doing?"

Carla asked when she noticed that there was a lot of people in every inch in the yard.

Rainer sighed with a smile, "He is busy with receiving guests. The An Family have a lot of close family

members as well as extended ones. These people that you're seeing are just from JA City. The family

members in other cities haven't come yet.

Mr. Terence is receiving some distinguished guests whom he has to entertain upstairs. As for the

others, they are waiting in the yard and in the living room."

Nodding her head, Carla patted Sean on his shoulder.

She then stated, "Did you hear that, Sean? Terence is very busy right now. Let's visit him some other

time."

But Sean didn't like what he heard. Looking up at the stairs with eager eyes, he begged Carla, "Carla,

please take me upstairs. I just want to take a look at Terence and then we could leave. Just one glance,

I promise, please!"

Hearing Sean's wishes, Rainer spoke before Carla could do so.

"Miss Carla, Mr. Terence is in the living room on the second floor. You can take Sean to have a look.

There are so many guests in the East Yard so I think it's fine if you go there."

Upon hearing Rainer's suggestion, Sean took Carla's hand at once, squeezed it and exclaimed, "Carla,

did you hear that? He said that it's fine so please take me upstairs, please, please."

Casting a quick look at the East Yard, Carla saw some kids who seemed like they came with their

parents. The kids were playing by themselves without making any noise.

Although Rainer said it was fine, Terence was meeting some important and powerful men, so she didn't

think it was proper to take Sean upstairs. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

However, when she looked at the little boy who was staring at her full of hope, Carla had to give up.

"Fine, let's go. But you have to promise me that you will behave. You won't cheer and shout when we

go upstairs. If Terence is busy, we won't interrupt him. You can just take a look from far away. Can you

do that?"

When Sean obediently nodded, Carla took his hand as they made their way to the stairs.

Upon passing by the living room, Carla saw a lot of people waiting there. Some of whom were familiar

because she often saw them on the news. However, all of them had to wait in the living room.

Holding Sean's hand tightly, Carla led their way upstairs.

But a girl who looked like she was younger by a few years than Carla stopped her. She then asked

Carla, "Did the steward allow you to go upstairs? If not, I'm sorry you can't go there.

See, we're all waiting here right now."

The girl stood in front of Carla as she eyed Carla from head to toe.

Before Carla could say anything, Sean began to speak, "We're not the same as you. My elder sister is

Terence's girlfriend so she can go upstairs and see him without anyone's permission."

While he spoke, Sean held his head high with confidence.

Since Terence came back, he was sure that he could proudly announce Terence and Carla's

relationship.

As expected, Sean's statement attracted everyone's attention, especially that of the girls within earshot.

Just then, Carla began to realize that there were about 6 or 7 young and beautiful ladies in the living

room excluding those in the yard.

All of them turned to Carla and Sean, seizing up "Mr. Terence's girlfriend".

"Excuse me, Miss, please let us pass,"

Carla said with a smile, looking at the girl who was in the way.

The girl stared at Carla, obviously confused with the situation. Frankly speaking, she didn't want to

believe that Terence had a girlfriend.

However, when she noticed Carla's grace and elegance, she had to admit that she could be a match

for Terence.

"Terence!"

Sean called out when he saw Terence while he was biding goodbye to one of their guests.

Terence immediately walked towards them when he heard the familiar voice. With his excitement, Sean

forgot his deal with Carla and he run to meet Terence halfway.

The little boy jumped into Terence's arms as soon as they were within arm reach.

Hugging him tightly, Terence indulged him with affection, as if he was a father spoiling his son. Sean

wrapped his legs around his waist and hugged his neck with eagerness.

"Terence... Thank God you're back. I knew you would be fine! I just knew it!" Sean cried out.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm a superman who's capable of anything. So I will come back safely no matter what

kind of danger I have to face," Terence consoled him.

Sean rarely acted like this, but right then and there he was too excited to control his emotions.

Holding Sean tightly, Terence patted his trembling back to calm him down.

"Yes, I will get over any difficulty because I won't leave Carla and Sean alone," Terence added.

Then, he reached out to Carla and stated endearingly, "Carla, come upstairs with me. I still have

visitors waiting."

Carla nodded and walked beside Terence, holding his hand with one hand and patting Sean's butt with

the other.

"Sean, that's enough. Since you've seen Terence, you can come down now. You're a young man

already, so don't keep on asking Terence to carry you.

Come down, young boy!" Carla addressed Sean.

Under everyone's piercing gaze, the three of them went upstairs.

Those young girls felt dejected when they saw the scene.

Sean didn't want to come down so he held onto Terence's neck tightly, burying his face more deeply

into Terence's shoulders.

The little boy's eyes started to fill with tears, so he was too embarrassed to raise his head.

Sensing what was happening, Terence loosened Carla's hand and patted Sean's back. Then, he

comforted him, "Sean, don't be worried. Look at me, I'm totally fine. Just relax, okay? I promise I will

spend more time with you and we won't be separated like that anymore."

When they arrived on the second floor, Carla saw 2 middle-aged men who were waiting for Terence. At

that moment, Edmund was talking with them.

Nodding at them, Terence took Carla and Sean to his room.

When they arrived at his room, Terence put Sean down and then he knelt to talk to him.

"Sean is a young man now so you should be obedient. I'm going to talk with those visitors for now but

I'll eat with you during lunch. So you stay here with your elder sister and wait for me, okay?"

Patting his shoulder, Terence stood up and turned to Carla. He was about to say something but Carla

beat him to it.

"Just go. We can take care of ourselves. I just asked for half a day's leave for Sean so we're leaving

soon. Go about with your work and don't mind us,"

Carla persuaded him to deal with his business.

The moment she was done speaking, Terence held her waist. He looked at her and said, "Carla, please

stay and have lunch with me, please?"

Knowing how to behave in a delicate situation, Sean quickly covered his eyes.

"I will manage to find time so I can play with Sean after lunch. It's not easy for him to come here and

I'm also going to be busy so I can't come home with you. So what do you say?" Terence said, sounding

really apologetic.

Once he returned to his guests, there were many things for him to deal with. Receiving visitors was just

a part of his job. What was more important was that he needed to deal with the upheaval of the Ans.

Moreover, he had to go over every detail of the AJ Group's management which was in shambles during

his absence.

"Fine, we're going to wait for you," Carla said with her hands around his waist. She then whispered,

"You've been with me for a long time so I'll be alright. Go deal with your business without worrying

about us."

"That's easy for you to say that but how can I not worry about you?" Terence whispered in her ear as

he kissed her forehead. He added, "Every chance that I get, even if it were for just a second, I can't

help but miss you. You know what, I'm poisoned by you and you're the only antidote."

Carla laughed a little louder than normal when she heard what Terence said. She looked up at him and

stated, "What Mr. Terence said is so touching. Am I the legendary master of poison?"

Pinching her waist, Terence sighed and thought, 'This woman always ruins the mood with her jokes

when I'm being serious.'

"Okay, I'm leaving," Terence said. But before he left, he turned to Sean and stated, "Sean, wait for me,

okay?"

Removing his hands that were covering his face, Sean nodded his head vigorously.

When Terence left, Sean begged Carla to ask for another half a day's leave from school.

It seemed that the little boy made his decision to stay here for the whole day. He was satisfied to see

Terence from far away but now that he spent a few minutes with the man, he wanted more.

Soon enough, it was time for lunch.
