Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 153

'What the heck—What is this?' thought Carla.

Carla looked at the jumbled words on the screen. Nothing made sense. The characters were all garbled. 'What could it mean?' she frowned displeased and closed the window. 'Was the email a virus?'

The thought crossed her mind that the message could be in some code. Either way, she was disappointed about not being able to read the email.

'What a shame!'

Carla accepted that she wasn't going to be able to read the email and cast it aside. She decided to watch a film as she had initially planned.

It was a thriller. Carla went to get some snacks and then continued watching the film. Halfway through the movie, Carla could feel the building tension and fear within herself due to the film's plot. With her eyes wide open and glued to the screen, she absentmindedly chewed on a snack as she watched the exciting scene unfold before her. All of a sudden, a window popped up on the computer screen.

"Arhh—" Carla shrieked.

With the added tension and suspense from the movie, Carla jumped and instinctively pushed back hard on the chair. The chair overbalanced, and she landed on the floor.

As she lay on the floor rubbing her head, she heard a voice coming from the computer.

"Terence? Err—Where are you?"

Bryant's face popped up in the little window on the screen. He frowned because he saw that Terence was online. However, he was nowhere to be seen. He wanted to report what was happening with the investigation.

Bryant peered into the screen trying to spot Terence

and then he saw a chair appear in view, but still no sight of Terence.

"Terence, where are you?" Assuming that Terence was somewhere in the room, Bryant began with the report. "The things that you asked me to investigate are almost done. The Hua's sons, York and Tristan, are not ordinary rivals.

They won't be easy to deal with, let alone their brother, Noah. Now he's a real crafty one! Terence, it's going to be really tough for you to remove all of the obstacles for your future wife."

Carla, who was still on the floor, listened in shock.

'What's he talking about?

Why is he talking about the Hua family?

I've got nothing to do with the Hua's. Then who was Terence's future wife that he is referring to?' thought Carla. Her mind was running at a million miles an hour.

"Terence, why are you hiding it from everyone? I know that you want to marry the daughter of the Hua family. So why don't you tell anyone? You're just making things complicated, and people misunderstand you because of that."

Suddenly the chair toppled over again.

Bryant stared at the screen in surprise and with a frown on his face. He was wondering what the heck was going on. He could see that Terence was online, and one moment, a chair appeared in view and then fell over. And yet there was no one around.

Of course, it was kicked over by Carla.

As Carla stood up to make a hasty retreat after hearing the disturbing news, she kicked the chair over. She marched off to her bedroom.

'What did that man mean?

Terence wanted to marry the daughter of the Hua's?

The only daughter of the Hua's— is Bonnie!'

Carla felt so confused she couldn't make head or tail of it, as so many things were running through her mind. She felt so heartbroken and couldn't settle down after what she had heard.

She was thinking, 'If Terence wants to marry Bonnie, then why did he upset Bonnie for my sake? If he wanted to marry Bonnie, then why didn't he let her stay last night instead, he drove her away?

But if Terence wants to marry me, like he keeps telling me, then what did that man mean by saying that Terence intends to marry the daughter of the Hua's?'

The man seemed to be a good friend of Terence's. She could tell that by the informal way that he spoke to him.

'He said— Terence wanted to marry the daughter of the Hua's. So does that mean Terence is going to marry Bonnie in the end, anyway?

Why is he treating her like that then? Is he playing her?' Carla had more questions than answers.

"Miss Carla, are you going out?"

Sophie asked when she saw Carla walk briskly past her and head for the front door.

"I'm going for a walk. Don't worry about me,"
