Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 413 I Would Rather Hold It Off

Terence went over to the book shelf where Carla had hidden the letter.

He picked up an English book, flipped the pages over and attempted to find the letter, but his efforts

were in vain. He put the book back to the shelf and continued his search in another English book that

looked pretty similar.

But he still couldn't locate the letter he was searching for.

He kept on looking in the rest of the books as well. But he couldn't even find a clue as where the letter

was.

Terence was totally confused and couldn't figure out why the letter was now gone.

He could remember it clearly. He was sure that Carla had put the letter in one of the English books on

this shelf. How could the letter suddenly disappear? The only possibility that he could think of was that

Carla herself may have put the letter in a different place.

One thing that Terence didn't know about Carla was that she not only loved to fumble around with

things but she also was good at hiding them! Very few people were able to find those that she hid.

He wasn't prepared to give up just yet. He intended to keep looking for the letter until he got a lead.

But he was overwhelmed when he looked up at the tens of thousands of books that were neatly

stacked one by one on the huge book shelf that almost took up the entire wall. He turned around and

found that Sean was standing obediently behind him. Reading the innocent expectation in his eyes, he

slightly shook his head and let out a sigh.

"Well, Sean, you can go back to sleep. I will ask your sister about the letter tomorrow. But don't worry,

I'm sure that you will get the letter back!"

Terence said with a smile.

Sean nodded his small head, turned around and walked quietly towards his bedroom.

Terence closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around, shot a quick exhausted glance

at the enormous book shelf and walked into the bedroom.

On the king sized bed, his beloved Carla was cuddling the pillow.

He had the intention of asking her about the letter but didn't expect to find her asleep already.

Terence walked up to her and tried to pull the pillow away from her arms.

After he lay on the bed, she immediately snuggled close to him and tightly put her arms around his

body. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Terence looked at her with a beaming smile on his face and turned off the lights.

Holding the woman he loved in his arms, he quietly dozed off. The silence, the darkness and the love

between them rendered him a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, as the bright golden rays of the sun began filling their bedroom, Carla woke up in a

refreshed mode after a good night's sleep. She checked the time and realized that she had woken up a

little earlier than usual.

It was only six o'clock in the morning.

She noticed that Terence was still sound asleep.

She propped her head on her elbow and languidly stared at him.

He had a charming and energizing persona. His nose was long, straight and elegant. She could hear

his deep and regular breathing. His Adam's apple slightly moved up and down rhythmically. Every inch

of his body was filled with sexual allure that was exclusive to men.

Carla lifted one of her fingers and gently touched his nose.

Her finger slid down from his lips to the lower jaw to the Adam's apple, and stopped at his collarbone.

Suddenly, with eyes still closed, Terrence grabbed her fingers and tenderly bit on them as though he

was punishing her for waking him up from his beautiful dream.

He turned around and put his arms around her. He reached out and stroked her back with his rough

hands. She could feel his body fragrance surround her like a blanket.

Although Terence didn't open his eyes, he exactly located her lips and successfully landed a kiss on

them. He pulled away the quilt wrapped around her, rolled her over and pressed her under his body.

When he was about to get an erection, a thought suddenly crossed his mind and he abruptly halted

whatever he was planning to do.

He opened his starry eyes and looked at the woman underneath him.

"Why are you already awake at this hour in the morning?'

Terence stared at her with his dazzling eyes.

Carla, who was enjoying the experience, wore a grin on her face and said slyly, "I couldn't fall asleep. I

was eagerly waiting for you to wake up. Why did you stop?"

Terence lay beside her and smiled bitterly. "I wanted to do it too. But now, I can't. I just lost the urge for

it," he replied in a hoarse voice.

"Actually, you can. When I ran a few random searches on the Internet, I found that it is permissible to

do it, a month after the miscarriage. It's not like I've delivered a baby or anything.…" Carla tenderly

stroked his chest with her small hands.

"You believe some random information on the Internet instead of following our doctor's advice? You are

going through a particular phase now. I would rather hold my urge off than hurt you in any way,"

Terence replied in a deep voice.

He planted a kiss on her ears and continued, "Babe, be patient. It is just going to be ten more days. It

will fly past us in the blink of an eye."

Carla shot a quick glance at him with a grin. She was trying to understand his feelings, but what he said

sounded like it was she who couldn't get enough of him and not the other way around.

"So, are you okay?"

She poked on the lump in the quilt.

Terence grabbed her hand and exhaled sharply. "Yeah. I'm good. I can't see you suffer any longer.

Unless, you want to..."

he said with an evil smile.

Carla let out an embarrassed cough and pushed him away hastily. "I'm going for a run. Would you care

to join me?" she asked.

Terence took a look at his watch and replied, "I should get up too. What's more, it's hard to see you

want to go for a run. How can I not be there and keep you company?"

"So you are implying that I'm a lazy girl?"

Slightly annoyed, Carla glared at him and threw the quilt away from her and walked toward the

bathroom.

When he was trapped in NF, she had worked out regularly. Since her legs were injured, she hadn't

moved around much.

The air was crisp and fresh in the morning, since they lived near the sea and were away from the

hustling traffic of the city.

A while later, they were running on the road together.

Since Carla hadn't worked out recently, she began panting heavily soon after. So Terence had to slow

down in order to avoid leaving her behind.

After just one lap, Carla retreated back to the Seaview Villa.

As soon as she got herself inside the house, Carla lay on the sofa, still gasping for breath.

"Miss Carla, your phone was ringing just before you arrived."

Sophie handed over the cell phone lying on the table. She had left it there before she stepped out for

the run.

She didn't carry her cell phone with her during the workout as usual. When she took the cellphone from

Sophie, it suddenly occurred to her that she hadn't been in touch with Violet for a long time now.

"Violet, you finally reached me," Carla said happily.

She leaned against the back of the sofa, picked up a glass of water and took a sip out of it. Looking up

from her cell phone, she noticed that Terence had finished another lap and returned home.

In the past, Carla tried to call Violet twice, but she never bothered to pick up. Carla felt offended and

she didn't call her again since then.

"…… Carla, I think I'm going to die."

Many tense moments passed before she could hear Violet's faint voice coming from the other end of

the line.

Carla's face darkened abruptly. She sprang up and sat bolt upright from the sofa. "What's wrong? Why

are you saying things like that? It doesn't sound like you. What happened?" she asked anxiously.

Violet couldn't contain her feelings anymore and began sobbing uncontrollably. "Carla, are you free

today? Can you please come over and visit me? I badly need your support and guidance. I've missed

you so much..." she murmured, as her words trailed.

"Yes. I'm coming to your place right now!"

After Carla hung up the phone, she hurriedly went upstairs and changed her clothes.

"Where you are going?"

Terence asked as he grabbed Carla's hands who was about to rush out.

"I'm going to Violet's home to check on her. She sounded quite anxious and worried over the phone,"

Carla replied as her heart thumped rapidly. When she was about to walk out of the door, Terence

stopped her in her tracks and said, "Wait a second. Let Rainer drive you there. It's better that way."

Terence was afraid that it might turn out to be too dangerous for her to drive the car as she was

extremely worried for Violet. So he forbade her from driving and gave Rainer a call.

After Terence finished the call, he hesitated in an awkward manner. He had something in mind and

wanted to reveal it to her, but he simply couldn't muster enough courage to do it. He inhaled deeply and

said, "Carla, I have some news for you.

William will be getting married next week. His fiancée hails from a rich and powerful family. They have

known each other since childhood."

This news hit Carla like a storm. Carla stood as still as a rock and stared blankly into space. She had

nothing to say to break the hostile silence.
