Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 123 The Crafty Couple

With these words Terence sat down and crossed his legs. He stared at Bonnie with a sullen face. There

wasn't a hint of a smile on his handsome face.

"Carla, I know Sean's suffering was torture for you. But Bonnie didn't mean to do it, as she said. And

she wasn't aware that you had saved my life.

For my sake, just allow Bonnie to serve you a cup of tea as a humble apology and let bygones be

bygones. What do you say?"

On the surface, it appeared that Terence was on Bonnie's side. But Carla knew that he was rooting for

her. A nice hard punch to Bonnie's face would have been much more satisfying for Carla, but, she had

to make do with a cup of tea as an apology instead. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

But would Bonnie be willing to do that?

A cold and subtle smile appeared on Carla's face. "Oh, will she? But I'm afraid that Miss Bonnie's

dignity may not allow her to apologize to a nobody like me?"

At her words, Terence smiled in silence casting expectant eyes to Bonnie.

Bonnie gave a slight cough. She stood up picked up a cup of freshly poured tea and walked to Carla.

"Miss Carla, it was all my fault. You saved Terence, so you are also my savior. This cup of tea is an

apology. I would appreciate it if you could forgive me and accept it."

With these words, Bonnie bowed and held the teacup to Carla.

Carla raised her eyes from Bonnie to Terence, who was watching her with a warm smile on his face.

She was in no hurry to take the teacup. Compared to what Sean had suffered, holding a teacup for a

while was nothing. Bonnie deserved it.

It was not until Bonnie's arms started trembling that Carla took the cup from her hands slowly.

"Since you have shown your sincerity, I forgive you," Carla said in a tolerant and generous tone.

Standing in the corner, Rainer lowered his head in silence.

He wanted to correct what he had just said. Miss Carla was just as devious as Mr. Terence. They were

very suited to each other.

Bonnie took a deep breath. Her eyes were filled with hatred and resentment. No matter how much she

hated Carla, she would have to endure this indignity for the moment.

Bonnie stretched her back slightly and glided over to Terence. "Terence, I feel tired. You will let me stay

here tonight, won't you?"

Bonnie said in a cutesy manner as she sat beside him and gazed at him with pouty lips.

Now that she had made an apology, as Terence's fiancee she was supposed to be allowed to do what

she wanted.

Terence looked away ignoring her. He simply patted Bonnie's hand and said, "Don't be so childish,

Bonnie. Carla and Sean have just moved into the house. Your presence would only remind them of the

unpleasant incident that you caused.

We've got lots of time. You'd better just go home now. I'll see you later."

Bonnie burst into tears because she didn't get her way.

"You are such a sensible girl, Bonnie. You will always conduct yourself properly, won't you?" Terence

continued without falling for her crocodile tears.

The tears of a pretty girl were achingly beautiful, indeed.

As an ancient poem goes; "Just like a pear blossom bathed in the rain, a beauty weeps."

Bonnie was an extraordinarily beautiful girl, especially when she was in tears. But those tears were

insincere and rehearsed used only for one purpose and that was to get what she wanted. The tears on

Bonnie were controlled and so she still managed to look elegant even with tears. Terence got great

pleasure from seeing Bonnie's tears.

However, the pleasure had nothing to do with affection. On the contrary.

Whereas, Carla, she was also a beautiful girl. However, she didn't look elegant when she cried. Carla's

tears were candid and heartfelt. Her tears were from her soul and unforced.

Terence's heart would break when he saw Carla cry.

His heart would be filled with sorrow and pain. And how could he see how beautiful she was when he

would have her enveloped in his arms?

Bonnie knew that she had lost this game tonight. But it didn't matter, just as Terence said, they had

time.

"Well then, I'm leaving now." Bonnie forced herself to stand up. She nodded to Carla and was just

about to say something to Terence.

But Terence stopped her abruptly, "Rainer, see Bonnie out for me!"

Bonnie was about to ask Terence to accompany her, but she swallowed her words.

Without saying anything, she turned and left in a huff.

The moment Bonnie had left, Terence sat down beside Carla and wrapped his arm around her slender

waist kissing her tenderly on the cheek. "Bonnie has learned her lesson. Do you feel a bit better now?"

He couldn't do anything radical for now, but he was sure that Bonnie would no longer bully her.

Carla heaved a heavy sigh and then glanced at him. "Are you sure she won't try to take her revenge

out on us after this humiliation?"

His hand slithered up from her waist and he looked at her with an enchanting smile. "She can try all

she wants. I couldn't care less. The more mistakes that she makes will only give me more reasons to

break the engagement off."

Carla raised her eyebrows and gave him a little nudge. "But really, aren't you at least just a little

worried?"

"Not in the least. We'll deal with it. Let her do as she will. I'll just collect all the evidence and show it to

her father,"

Terence whispered in her ear. His hand slid around to her back and undid the clasps of her bra with

one fluid movement. "Carla, why don't we go swimming tonight? I want to see you in a sexy bikini."

Carla noticed her bra go slack and shot him a glance while she pushed his hand aside.

"Can't you just behave yourself? There are people here."

The servants passed by from time to time and they would see them. Terence could be as shameless as

he wanted, after all, he was a man and this was his house. But Carla, she had her pride and wanted a

bit more discretion. She was well aware of how people liked to gossip.

"Don't worry too much about them. I've already warned them when you came last time. Their lips are

sealed. They'll see nothing. Just relax.

Besides, you will be the hostess here in the future. They wouldn't dare risk offending you."

Terence nibbled her earlobe playfully. Every time she was near him, he wanted to swallow her up in

one gulp. She was just so irresistible to him.

Unfortunately for him, his Carla was too conservative.

He had spent countless hours daydreaming about how he would seduce her. But she always managed

to resist his allure.

Poor Terence. When would Carla give herself to him totally? That day may still be far away.

Or perhaps, Cupid had passed by and heard his complaint

because Terence's dream seemed to be coming true.

The night fell.

Nathan picked Sean up from school in person.

Sean had been upset all day long because of the accident. But when he realized that he was sent to

Terence's house, Sean's gloomy heart cleared up. He even thought his injuries were a blessing in

disguise.

Had he not been injured, Terence wouldn't have insisted on bringing Carla and him to live with him.

Nathan had told him that Carla refused firmly when Terence raised the idea.

But in the end, Terence gave up on asking and used another method of persuasion. He threw Carla

over his shoulder and carried her like that downstairs. Later on he asked the servants to pack her

things up and bring them to the house. That was how Carla moved into Terence's house.

Ha—Ha! Terence was quite a man!

"Wow! This mousse cake is so delicious! Carla, it's much better than the cheapie made in the bakery

near our apartment."

Gobbling down the cake, Sean was full of praise. "Yummy! It's so sweet!"

"Oh Sean, look at you. Mind your table manners. If you were somewhere else, people would laugh at

you." Carla chuckled and wiped the crumbs from his mouth with a napkin.

Sean grinned flashed his straight pearly white teeth. "I'm not afraid of being laughed at. And you know

what Carla? I'm going to make a fortune in the future and buy you the most expensive cakes and a

beautiful house for you."

Terence, who was having his dinner sitting beside them tapped Sean's plate with his spoon.

"Sean, all you have to do is to work hard and provide a good life for your future wife. As for your sister

I'll take care of her. You don't have to worry about that."

Terence filled a bowl of delicious mushroom soup and passed it to Carla.

Carla enjoyed Chinese food so he told the cook to prepare all kinds of Chinese food for her.

When they had finished dinner, Rainer approached them.

"Mr. Terence, there's a phone call for you. It's your father."
