Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 534 Go And Get A Washboard

When he got the confirmed news of Carla's death, Terence's life was suddenly at a standstill. So he

couldn't remember a lot of things clearly.

But there was one thing that he was sure of. There were 2 years of his life when he couldn't remember

anything. No matter how hard he tried to recall what happened during those two years, all his efforts

were in vain.

When he tried to think about it, Sally was already 3 years old when they met. Adding that to a year of

pregnancy, it would have already been 4 years. But still, 2 years of that time remained void in Terence's

memory.

"Mr. Terence, there is one thing that I have to remind you. Currently, you're married and you have a

daughter named Gail," Nathan slowly said.

When he heard this, Terence was stunned. His eyes opened really wide as if his eyeballs would pop

out of their sockets. Then, without another word, Terence grabbed Nathan by the collar and asked,

"What did you say? I'm married? I-I got married to another woman? And I have a kid? Tell me the truth,

right now!" Terence's voice trembled. He was so intimidating that anyone who was within earshot would

be fearful of him.

"Mr. Terence, please calm down. It's not what you think. Gail isn't your biological daughter. When you

agreed to marry Lucy, she was already pregnant,"

Nathan explained with so much patience. He knew that Terence was just in a state of shock and

needed to recover. Then, he continued, "And the most important thing is, you didn't register your

marriage with Lucy. You just announced your marriage to the public so that Mr. Nicholas and Mr.

Edmund would stop worrying about you."

Suddenly Terence was filled with a thousand regrets. He turned to look at the car, then asked, "What

about Carla? Does she know?"

"Yes, Mr. Terence, she does. Actually, The moment Miss Carla came back, she immediately looked for

you. But you couldn't remember her. She was so upset that she went home to the Hua family with

Sally," Nathan replied.

A frown quickly formed on Terence's face when he heard this. He was just realizing how unforgivable

his actions were. He didn't know how he could forgive himself for doing something like that. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Nathan, would you know if something happened between Lucy and me?"

Terence asked softly. To be honest, he was afraid that he was going to hear something that he wouldn't

like.

In an attempt to look for possible solutions on how to fix this mess, he was trying to see if there was at

least something right that he did.

Fortunately, Nathan shook his head.

"Nothing happened. Ever since you received hypnotherapy, it seems like you lost any ability to be

sexually attracted. Lucy had been staying in the guest room since she moved in. The only

communication between the two of you is about Gail, nothing else."

The moment he heard what happened, Terence sighed very deeply. He was very relieved, to say the

least.

"Nathan, call Lucy right now and ask her to pack up her things and leave the house! I don't want to see

anything that belongs to them when I come back to the Villa," Terence ordered.

"Okay, I'll make all of the arrangements right now,"

Nathan responded. Then, he immediately went outside to call Lucy.

Meanwhile, Terence got in the car with a sure destination for the first time in a long while.

Carla inched a little closer to Sally who was sleeping soundly. Then, she turned her head towards

Terence.

"Carla, I am very deeply really sorry for everything that happened," Terence apologized.

There was still a frown on his face. Then, he hugged Carla and their daughter more tightly. He

continued, "I'm so, so sorry. It's all my fault."

Carla answered with a genuine smile. Then, she caressed his cheek with one hand before stating, "It's

so good to hear you say it. But don't think for a second that I won't make you pay when we get back."

Then, she giggled very softly. The truth was that she would never find it in her to punish him!

The tortures and pains he had suffered all these years were not less than hers.

Otherwise, how could he have tormented himself to be a person like this?

The only thing she was sure of was that Terence was still the person that she met years ago. He hadn't

changed a bit and to Carla, that was more than enough.

"Of course! You can punish me as you wish!" Terence hated himself even more when he realized that

Carla didn't blame him at all.

He would even kneel down on the washboard for a whole year if that was what it took for Carla to

forgive him.

Moments later, they finally returned to the Seaview Villa.

"Mr. Terence, welcome home!"

The servants came to greet them as soon as they were aware of their arrival.

Inside the villa, Lucy was holding Gail in her arms. The little girl was busy drinking milk. When she

heard that Terence was back, Lucy put down the bottle and came out of the kitchen, still with Gail in her

arms.

"Terence, you're back," she said.

Terence got out of the car, but he paused for a while when he saw Lucy and Gail approaching them.

Then he turned to Nathan who was dutifully following him. Nathan didn't need any orders. He knew

exactly what Terence wanted him to do.

Nathan lowered his head and said to Lucy, "Ma'am, why are you still here?"

He had already called Lucy to ask her to leave before Terence came back.

"Where is Terence? I need to talk to him in person!"

Lucy responded while she walked towards Terence, with Gail in her arms.

When she got close enough to find out that Carla and Sally were in the car, she turned pale and asked,

"Terence, why did you bring them home?"

Carla and Sally had visited the Villa before, but Ella turned them down. They didn't even get the chance

to set foot inside the premises. At that time, Lucy thought they would never bother them again until she

had met them at the hospital and she heard Sally call Terence, "Daddy." That was why Lucy couldn't

help but feel a little weird when she saw them inside the car.

Lucy never expected that Terence would bring them back so soon.

It had already been 2 years since she met him.

She had been dreaming of becoming his legal wife!

She wanted to stay with him and give birth to 2 kids who belonged to Terence. She wanted more and

she knew Carla's arrival would put an end to those dreams.

What was more, she had been used to being "Mrs. An".

But now, he was suddenly asking her to leave...

Terence rubbed his temples which had begun to ache. Then, he commanded Nathan, "Nathan, take

them out of here!"

After nodding his head at Terence, Nathan walked over to Lucy and said, "Miss Lucy, please pack up

your stuff and leave with Gail. I'll make arrangements for you so you can live in a hotel..."

"I beg your pardon, Nathan?"

Lucy was stunned. She thought she had misheard what Nathan had just said so she just stared at him

in disbelief.

She never could have imagined that Terence could drive them away.

"Lucy, may I just remind you of our arrangement? Your relationship with Mr. Terence is very clear. Miss

Carla is back and she is Mr. Terence's legally married wife,"

Nathan calmly responded. Actually, only Rainer and Nathan knew about their arrangement.

At that time, Terence was in a very unstable situation. So Rainer and Nathan took the matter into their

own hands.

"Nathan, don't you think you're going too far by doing this?"

Lucy had no idea what to say while she continued to shake her head.

"Is it too much? You were pregnant back then. It was Mr. Terence who helped you and allowed you to

stay in the Villa. You should remember your promise that you would leave immediately as soon as Miss

Carla came back. So tell me, am I going too far?"

Nathan replied. Then, he turned to Ella who was standing behind them and said, "Ella, go and pack up

Lucy and Gail's things. Then, you can leave with them."

Ella was shocked as well.

She had tried very hard to please Lucy all these years, but now she lost all of her wits when she heard

what Nathan had just said.

"What are you waiting for? Go, right now!"

Nathan shouted to Ella.

Carla got off the car and handed Sally to Sophie who came to greet her. After smiling back, she said,

"Sophie, take Sally upstairs so she could sleep."

"Yes, Mrs. Carla," she replied.

Sophie took Sally in her arms. Then, she carefully went inside the Villa.

Sophie didn't say anything more. She knew that it would be improper for her to say anything under the

circumstances.

But she was genuinely happy to see Carla return to the Villa. Lucy had despised her since she started

living in the Villa. It was because Lucy knew that Sophie had served Carla. Lucy didn't like her, and Ella

also pushed her aside occasionally.

Sophie stayed because she cared about Terence's health. After all, she had been serving him for so

many years. Otherwise, she would have already quit and left.

Carla walked towards Terence's side. She looked at Lucy and Gail. Then, she said softly, "Terence, let

them stay. It's already late outside.

Let them stay for one more night and they can leave tomorrow. What do you think?"

When he heard this, Terence thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, you're the boss. Nathan, let them stay for one more night,"

Terence ordered and then he placed his arm around Carla's shoulder. Walking towards the villa, he

said gently, "Carla, you can go upstairs and take a bath. I'll ask those in the kitchen to prepare

something to eat."

"Okay,"

Carla agreed. She peeked at Lucy from the corner of her eye who was following them with stiff steps.

She wanted to say something to Terence but she stopped herself.

All of a sudden, Carla called Nathan who was just about to pass by them. "Nathan?"

"Yes, Miss Carla?" Nathan stopped and turned towards her.

"Go and get a washboard," Carla ordered.

"W-what? I'm sorry Miss Carla, did I hear you right?"

Nathan thought he misheard what she had just said.

At the same time, Terence who was next to Carla was surprised as well.
