Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 46 Chance For Carla To Practice

"Go ask the maid to bring you one if you want," Terence grabbed his cup, squinting at Megan, and then

he put it down on the side close to Carla.

"Don't be so mean. We've already shared a bed. It's just one drink."

Megan stood up playfully and took the chance while Terence wasn't looking. After quickly taking his Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

wine glass, she gulped it down within a few seconds.

Terence's frown deepened, and he said, "That was back when we were still little kids."

However, Megan had already achieved her goal and smiled smugly. She gave a glance at Carla and

said, "Carla, Terence and I are gonna get engaged. Why don't you stay longer and attend our

engagement ceremony?"

Before Megan finished her words, Terence stood up and gave her a furious glare and said, "Megan,

don't piss me off. Now, you'd better get back to your own home."

After he said that, he turned and went toward the villa.

As soon as he left, Carla stood up as well and followed him immediately. The host had left them, so

she, as a mere guest, wasn't in the mood to eat anymore.

Besides, with jealous Megan there, how could she enjoy the food?

"Wait, Carla," Megan, still sitting there with a fork in her hand, called out to Carla.

"I think you could see it clearly now. Terence and I are a couple. We're going to get married sooner or

later. If you've still got even just an ounce self-respect, you should disappear from his side.

If you think that what I offered you is not enough, just tell me. I will give you whatever it is that you ask

for."

As she was saying that, she put down the fork on the table angrily and stood up.

"You should know that if you hadn't saved Terence, you wouldn't ever have any chance to meet him all

your life! And the two of you would never even be so close. You two come from two different worlds,

and you're not meant to be together."

Carla originally didn't really want to say a word about the thing between Megan and Terence, but now,

she herself had been judged by Megan in such a rude way. She became a bit irritated and impatient,

just enough for her to push her hair to the back of her ear and respond, "Megan, you're probably right,

but what a shame; there is no if in reality." Carla turned to look directly at Megan without flinching. "If I

am not mistaken, it seems to me that Terence doesn't really like you. Otherwise, you two would've

already gotten married.

So, no matter how hard you pretend to be intimate with him, you can't hide the fact that

Terence is indifferent to your love."

Carla laughed lightly, but the words just simply hit home.

"You…" It wasn't until now that Megan realized that she underestimated this girl, thinking that she was

just a simple country girl, so ignorant of the outside world. So, she was shocked and couldn't help but

stare at Carla in astonishment.

"Great job, Carla! I thought you were just an innocent and kind girl. You've exceeded my expectations.

You are such a shrewd and all-knowing person.

What you're implying is that Terence likes you, isn't it?"

It was the first time Carla had ever been judged that way. Her heart jolted and she frowned. "You call a

person shrewd and all-knowing for simply telling the truth?

Okay. Now, I know."

"Carla! You bitch!" Megan stamped her foot in annoyance and retorted, "So what if Terence doesn't like

me? How many couples in this world love each other equally at the time they get married?

As long as the marriage turns out to be good, it's okay. What is important is the result, not the course it

takes!"

Carla took a look at the time. Realizing it was already getting late, she didn't want to keep this jealous

woman company any longer.

"Great! Then you can go ahead and wait until you finally get married. I'm tired, so I'll be going to bed

now."

Carla left immediately after saying that and headed toward the villa, leaving Megan standing there in a

daze.

Megan watched Carla leave in such a casual manner that all she could do was stamp her foot to vent

out her anger.

After Carla found out that the room she stayed in yesterday was Terence's, she found herself a

guestroom and decided not to go to the third floor where Terence's bedroom located.

In front of the surveillance monitor, Terrence stared at the screen and listened to the exchange between

the two. His lips curled into a smile.

'Carla, you're so talented.

To be a member of my family, a basic tact is required to win this kind of war of words.

"Nathan, go arrange a car and send Megan home. If she wants to come again tomorrow, it's fine. You

don't have to stop her." Terence stood up, feeling refreshed and quite pleased.

It was good to give more opportunities to Carla to practice the skill of surviving in this family.

Anyway, he had to let Megan accept the reality sooner or later.

Since she had to accept this cruel fact, it would be better to get hurt sooner to get it over with.

Terence went back to his own bedroom on the third floor but didn't see Carla in it, so he just went to

Sean's room.

But he found out that the kid had already fallen asleep because of being exhausted earlier that day.

'Where is this woman hiding again?'

At last, he finally managed to find her in one of the guest rooms on the first floor.

After walking all day in hot weather, Carla was extremely tired. The room was cool and comfortable, so

she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Terence watched her sleeping for a while and then bent down and lifted her up carefully.

"Nathan, open the door."

Within a short moment, Terence swiftly carried her back to the third floor.

As they were about to enter his room, Carla woke up and realized what happened. She grabbed onto

the door frame and wouldn't let Terence bring her in.

"Terence, don't! This is your room. I can't just always go and sleep in your room."

Rolling his eyes, Terence thought to himself, 'This woman is quite troublesome.' He then called for

Nathan who was behind him, "Come here, Nathan."

Nathan came up and pried her hand away from the door frame with ease.

When they finally got into the room, Carla sat cross-legged on his bed fuming with anger. Intensely

glaring at Terence, she said, "What are you doing? I was sleeping well in the guestroom. Why did you

have to take me here? And you, are you a masochist? You don't want to sleep in your own room and

instead, you'd just stay in the guestroom."

"Who says I am going to sleep in the guestroom today? The bed is big enough for two people to

comfortably sleep in." Terence was sitting on the couch cross-legged when he said that.

Carla paused for a few seconds and then got out of the bed. "Then all the reason for me not to stay in

here. As a guest, I shouldn't be occupying the host's room."

But before she could even take another step, Terence carried her back to the bed.

"Carla, who says you are a guest? You are the hostess here. And as the hostess, of course, you have

to sleep in the host's room," Terence said seriously as if he was telling Carla something like "one and

one equals two".

…

Carla was at a loss for words.

"Carla, I think it's still a bit early. How about we go to the garden to enjoy the cool breeze?" Terence

said with a cunning smile and his eyes deeply fixated on her unbuttoned collar.

Carla instinctively reached her hand to cover her chest. "No, as I've told you already. I'm too tired."

"Okay, then I'll just go by myself." Terence drew back his attention, giving her waist a squeeze, and

then he smiled in embarrassment.

…

Carla stared back at him thinking, 'You promised me you wouldn't lay a hand on me. It has barely even

been a day since you said that. Have you forgotten it so soon?'

Deep at night.

It was a good thing that Terence just said that. He didn't really even bother trying to convince her to let

him sleep next to her.

Carla set the alarm of the clock and tried to get some sleep. When the alarm finally went on, she woke

up, yawned, and then took a look at the time.

At this hour, Terence couldn't possibly be still swimming in the pool.

She had been itching to go for a swim in that pool ever since they got there, but she couldn't because

she didn't want Terence to know. So, she had to pick the right time and went there in secret.

At this hour, she could enjoy it freely by herself under the moonlight. It should be great.

After changing into her swimsuit, she immediately put on a night-robe and sneaked out of the room and

went downstairs.
