Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 163

Carla heard his words. She looked up at him and waited for his explanation.

Terence frowned and remained silent. He didn't how to explain it. He didn't even know how to start.

He was afraid that if he told her the truth, she wouldn't be able to process it. Her true identity was kept a secret for twenty-three years.

It was not only about her. It was also about her little brother, Sean.

"Carla, please let me explain. Just give me more time. There are more to the story than what you think," said Terence. He was not convincing at all.

He stuttered while he was trying to explain the situation. Carla chuckled and said, "Okay. There are still ten days left before Sean is finished with this semester. You can think about it and explain it to me later. You better come up with a good excuse."

Carla knew that there was nothing more to be explained.

She just gave him hope. She wanted to make him feel better.

Terence took her back to the Seaview Villa.

Neither of them said anything while they were on their way home.

Rainer who was driving the car also felt the tension in the air. Usually when they bicker, they tend to argue heatedly. But today, there was only dead silence.

They just recently made up from their previous argument. How could this happen again so soon?

Terence had already asked Sophie to prepare their lunch in advance.

When they got home, their lunch was already prepared for them.

When they were already seated at the table, Terence kept on picking food onto her plate. He remained silent while they ate.

After lunch, Carla went upstairs to take a nap.

Terence checked the time on his watch and realized that there was still time left before his afternoon meeting. He thought he better follow her.

When he arrived in her room, he saw that Carla was not taking a nap.

Instead, he saw that she was unpacking her suitcase. He felt terrible and didn't know what he could say or do to comfort her. He ran up to her and held her firmly in his arms.

"Carla, I'm sorry..."

He could only utter those three words. He wanted to explain but he was at a lost for words.

Carla decided to accept his apology. She turned to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "All right. I heard from Rainer that you have a meeting this afternoon. Go ahead and attend your meeting."

She was slowly accepting the fact that he was going to marry Bonnie. When he admitted it to her in person earlier, she felt relieved somehow.

"Carla, I..." Terence said. He looked directly at her eyes as if he was trying to convey his feelings to her without saying any words. He held her body tightly to his and kissed her on the temple. "Carla, don't go anywhere. Please just wait for me at home. I'll be back soon. Let's talk when I get back."

Carla nodded and removed herself from his embrace. "Okay, go. Don't worry about me. I promise you that I will never run away."

Terence looked at her face and kissed her on the lips. When he was convinced that she would not run away from him, he left to attend his meeting.

That afternoon, Carla took a nap and went to the garden when she woke up. She trimmed the trees and flowers with the help of the gardeners. She also arranged flowers that she got from the garden and brought it inside the house.

Oddly enough, she felt calm and peaceful all day.

However, in the late afternoon before the sun went down, someone unexpectedly came to visit.

It was Bonnie.

"Terence! Terence, please let me explain!"
