Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 108 Carla VS Bonnie

Upon hearing Bonnie, Terence turned around to look at her.

"Terence!" Bonnie strode towards him, took his hand and leaned against his shoulder sweetly.

"Wow, Bonnie. Terence cares so much about you. You were only gone for a few minutes to the ladies

room and here he is looking for you already," Ivy uttered deliberately, with an envious look in her eyes.

When Terence looked in Bonnie's direction, he also caught sight of a familiar person standing behind

her.

Carla stayed in that spot with her back turned to Bonnie the whole time, because she instinctively

turned around the moment she saw her come out.

When she heard Bonnie call out Terence's name, she was stunned and froze. She stood rooted to the

spot and didn't turn around even though she was about to go back to her table.

She had no idea whether Terence saw her or not.

After a short time, she couldn't hear them talking, so she turned slowly around, relieved to find that

there was no one there anymore.

Carla didn't want to run into Terence, because she would feel embarrassed if she did. After all, Terence

and his fiancee had just returned from a vacation together and they must be so in love. Carla didn't

know whether she should greet him or not at that moment. She was caught off guard.

When Carla returned to her seat. She found that the table where Terence was sitting at with his friends

was diagonally opposite her across the aisle.

But since his table was a bit of a distance away from hers and she also sat by the window, it was

difficult to see him easily from her position.

Carla hoped that they could just have their meal in peace without any dramas.

However, she noticed that the four mothers that she was sitting with were behaving strangely and kept

casting odd glances at her.

"Mrs. Jiang, I heard someone call out 'Mr. Terence'. Do you think that he may be here at the

restaurant? Huh?"

said Mrs. Xu in a low voice, who was sitting next to her.

Mrs. Jiang had also heard his name being called out. After secretly searching for the engagement

photos of Terence and Bonnie, which were taken a few days ago, she leaned to one side and © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

compared Terence with the man in the photos on the sly.

"He seems to be, the Terence."

Even though they spoke in a hushed tone, Carla was still able to hear them as they were sitting close

to her at the same table.

The four of the women agreed that it was Terence. But it was difficult for them to see him clearly, and

now that he was there in the flesh, they couldn't help themselves but constantly turn to glance at him.

"Terence, those women at that table keep looking at you,"

Theo said jokingly after he took a sip of his wine and pointed at the table where Carla was sitting.

Both curious, Bonnie and Ivy looked in the direction he was pointing at. Ivy laughed and spoke in a

mocking tone, "Terence, it seems that you are so charming that not only young girls but even middle-

aged women are attracted to you."

Bonnie wrapped her arms possessively around Terence's arm.

"He is indeed very attractive and many women like him. But so what? Terence is my fiance and they

can only peek at him, without the right to touch him."

Theo noticed the young lady that was sitting with the four women at the table .She had no makeup on

and wore a lovely smile on her fresh face. She was so lovely and attractive.

He observed how she moved her beautiful dark eyes and how her lovely mouth curved into a faint

smile. He could tell that she was pondering over something.

Theo was captivated by this lovely young creature.

"That young lady, who's sitting by the window is lovely," Theo said with obvious interest, as he had

another sip of wine.

Perhaps Carla stood out among the group of middle-aged women and so, caught Theo's eye so

quickly.

He couldn't keep his eyes off of her, and found her to be very fascinating.

"Theo!" Ivy said outraged, pinching his arm. Of course, she would feel very displeased hearing her man

praise another woman's beauty in front of her.

"Ouch! Don't pinch me." Theo frowned and pushed Ivy's hand away and said, "It's only natural for a

man to appreciate the beauty of a woman. If you don't let me look at other women then I will lose that

natural instinct that a man has in him and I won't be a man anymore. Would you want to be with me

after that, Ivy?"

Theo casually remarked, having another sip of wine.

Terence briefly glanced in Carla's direction, but he didn't make eye contact with her. He then lowered

his head and concentrated on eating his food.

"Look, Theo. Terence is a man and he didn't even give her a second glance. You should try to be more

like Terence instead of staring at other women!"

Ivy sulked, disappointed.

She had only been in a relationship with Theo for just three months. However, she didn't feel that he

was totally committed to her, because he openly showed interest in other women around her.

Bonnie felt proud that Terence was not like that. She glanced at her fiance who was eating his meal

and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Of course, Terence is the best man in this world."

Terence frowned when he felt the peck on his cheek and the fork in his hand dropped making a loud

sound as it hit the plate.

Bonnie had just put fresh lipstick on so the lip print on his cheek was obvious.

Terence felt annoyed and took a napkin and wiped at his cheek. After using up three napkins he was

surprised to find that the lipstick wouldn't come off. He abruptly stood up from his seat.

"I'm going to the men's room!"

Terence said with a touch of annoyance in his voice. Then he stood up and made his way to the men's

room.

"Terence?"

Bonnie noticed the sullen pout on his handsome face. She thought that she might appear to be too

pretentious just now in his eyes and she immediately stood up trotting after him with her handbag in her

hand.

"Terence, wait a minute. I have the makeup remover in my handbag. You can use it to wipe the lip print

away..."

However, Terence continued on without breaking his stride and so Bonnie couldn't catch up to him.

As Bonnie rushed to catch up with Terence, she was rummaging through her handbag looking for the

makeup wipes. She hadn't noticed that Carla was squatting down in front of her to pick something up,

which had dropped onto the floor.

At that moment when Carla stood up, Bonnie crashed right into her, nearly knocking her off her feet. As

Carla struggled to maintain her balance, Bonnies' Hermes Birkin handbag was knocked out of her

hands and sent flying into the air. Bonnie watched in horror, as it landed with a heavy 'thud, ' spilling the

contents from her handbag across the restaurant floor.

When Terence strode past her table a moment ago, Carla was startled and had dropped her spoon

onto the floor. It fell in the aisle, so she went to pick it up.

However, she didn't expect that Bonnie would run into her, literally.

Bonnie had been so anxious to find the makeup remover and reach Terence in time that she didn't see

Carla in front of her. She stood gaping at her things that sprawled out all over the floor.

The lid from lipstick had flown off and there was a smear of color left on the floor where the lipstick had

hit and broken a piece off.

The face powder compact had crumbled and the small mirror cracked.

"I'm sorry,"

Carla apologized first, as she smoothed her clothes down. Even though it wasn't her fault at all. It was

Bonnie who was absent-minded and ran into her.

Bonnie pulled a sulky face as she surveyed her damaged items scattered on the ground. Even her

sanitary pad had fallen out. She looked across at Carla with a cold glare.

"You're sorry? 'Sorry' is what you're going to be!"

Bonnie was in a foul mood.

She recognized Carla as the drab poor girl that she saw in the bathroom earlier. She was also the

same girl, that Theo had been admiring, just a few moments ago. She crossed her arms defiantly.

"I refuse to accept your apology! You will have to pay the original cost for all of my things that have

been damaged from falling onto the floor," Bonnie said arrogantly raising her chin and looking down her

nose at Carla.

Bonnie saw her cellphone on the floor and picked it up. She turned the calculator function on and

started to calculate the cost of her things.

"Miss, it's common courtesy to say 'sorry' to others. But by saying that, it doesn't mean that I am

admitting that it was my fault. It wasn't my fault that you bumped into me and your things fell out onto

the floor. Why are you asking me to pay you compensation?"

Carla retorted when she saw that Bonnie had calculated the price of her items and it had racked up to

ten thousand dollars.

Ivy who had seen the whole thing strutted over to Carla and rudely pushed her. She was still annoyed

with Theo for admiring her beauty earlier and finally got the chance to take it out on her.

She certainly wasn't going to miss out on the opportunity to take this girl down.

"What are you saying? How can you be so rude and impolite after you knocked into her?"

Ivy said in an angry tone as she poked her pointy finger into Carla's shoulder. Then she turned to

Bonnie. "Bonnie, how can you be so kind and reasonable to her? It's not enough for her to just pay the

amount she owes you for the damage.

You shouldn't let her get off so easily!"

Bonnie looked at her and wondered what Ivy had in mind.

Right then, Ivy picked up the broken lipstick from the floor and pushed it into Bonnie's hand. "Use this

lipstick to scribble on her face. Do you see how she rudely glares at us?

After all, she would probably be too poor to pay you the money anyway. It is a good way to punish her.

We would even be showing her mercy for what she did to you!"

When Bonnie heard Ivy's idea, her mouth twisted into a cruel and wicked grin. She held the lipstick

tightly in her hand and walked up to Carla.
