Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 66 Have You Slept With Her

Carla's gaze was glued to the photo of Terence and a woman on the laptop screen.

'Who is she?' she thought, confused.

She saw two photos of Terence and this woman before. Now, she just found several photos of them

again. Carla began to wonder what was the relationship between Terence and the woman.

She zoomed the photo and tried to see the woman more clearly.

With widened eyes, Carla leaned closer to the laptop screen. She noticed that the woman had good-

looking eyebrows. She kept on wondering if the woman had her eyebrows tattooed or not.

With this in mind, she touched her own natural eyebrows.

The woman also had a pair of beautiful and attractive eyes. Carla thought that this kind of woman was

usually the ones who were often seen hooking up with men.

Perhaps she had plastic surgery to open up her eyes and make them look bigger.

She also had a pointed chin. Carla was confused as to whether she had plastic surgery or not. The

thought kept on bugging her.

While staring at the woman who was beside Terence in the photo, Carla decided to open her phone

camera. She positioned the phone in front of her face and looked at herself in the phone screen. Oddly

irritated with her actions, she threw her phone to the desk after checking out her face.

If she guessed correctly, this woman was Terence's ex-girlfriend.

She was pretty sure that Terence had no sisters. If this woman was not an ex-girlfriend then, why did

they have so much photos together? The only possible explanation for them having too much photos

was that they were in a relationship before.

Besides, she realized while she was looking at the photos that they always had their arms around each

other. Either that or she could see them with their hands on each other's shoulders. By her standards, it

was a clear sign that the both of them were in a pretty intimate relationship.

Carla bit her fingernails. She was too absorbed in her own thoughts.

She suddenly remembered that last night, Terence pressed her roughly on the mattress and forced her

to... She couldn't shake away the feeling that she experienced every time she thought about it again.

A thought popped into her head. What if she was not the only one? What if there were other girls

before her? What if she was just one of his women?

At the thought of this, Carla suddenly was disgusted with Terence. She slammed Terence's laptop

down on the desk in anger.

She had a feeling that Terence did those things with a lot of women before.

Terence was born a member of the An family. They were considered as one of the richest and most

powerful family in JA City. He was wealthy and influential. It was a given that there must be a lot of

women that admired and chased him all the time.

Carla refused to believe that he had never slept with women before.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you answer the door? I've been ringing the bell for so long. Is

something wrong?"

Terence headed straight to Carla's room when he finished his work. He wanted to see her so badly. He

kept on knocking but there was no answer from her. He noticed that the door was not locked so he

decided to just enter the room.

He saw her sitting there sulking when he entered the room. It seemed that something displeased her.

He noticed that his laptop was on top of her desk. Upon further observation, he saw that the photo of

him and a woman was projected on the screen.

When Carla heard him enter, she quickly closed the laptop and turned to look at him.

"Have you finished your work?"

However, it was too late for her to hide the photo from Terence. He had already seen what she had

been looking at.

With a slight smile on his face, Terence sat down beside her and asked, "Are you secretly looking at

the photo album in my laptop?"

Carla picked up a cushion and hugged it. She was trying to hold back her panic. She blinked her eyes

and replied, "I am not looking at your photos secretly! I just happen to see it.

Are you going out with this woman? Is she your girlfriend?"

Carla asked. Terence already found out that she knew about the photos. There was no point in denying

it any longer.

Terence frowned and chuckled. He fixated his eyes on her. He sat down with his legs tightly crossed

and his arms folded over his chest. "I'll give you another chance to ask the question right. Don't you

think that your question sounds a bit odd?"

He was not going out with that woman at all. Even if she really had been in a relationship with him, she

might have just been his ex-girlfriend.

"Oh. Well then, is that pretty girl your ex-friend?" Carla asked again. She realized that she was thinking

too much and was stuck in her own thoughts. It seemed that she used the wrong words earlier.

"It does not matter if she was my ex-girlfriend or not. Everything has been in the past," Terence

answered. His words were filled with ambiguity.

"What do you mean? Is she your ex-girlfriend or not? I hate such vague replies," Carla said, her

eyebrows raised.

He thought carefully about how he should answer her. After a while, he spoke, "I cannot say that I was Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

in a relationship with her because I never admitted that she was my girlfriend. On the other hand, I

cannot also say that I was not in a relationship with her because I also did not say that she was not my

girlfriend. I never did deny my relationship with her. When I went out for fun before, she was always

with me. However, I did not just go out with her. My other friends were also with us."

It seemed that the photos that Carla saw were just one of the photos that were taken when they went

out for fun.

Terence took advantage of the situation and allowed other people to think that he was in a relationship

with that woman. Letting other people think that he was in a relationship helped him to not be chased

around by other women. It was because of this advantage that he did not bother explaining their

relationship to others.

After pondering over Terence's words, a question suddenly struck Carla.

"Have you slept with her?"

Terence was so surprised to hear her ask such a blunt question that he was stunned for a little while.

His mouth twisted into a little smile. "Carla, this is a personal question. Can I refuse to answer it?" he

replied.

Carla flashed him a wicked smile and said, "A personal question? Terence, do you think we are

currently talking about some sort of official business?"

Terence furrowed his eyebrows and ran his hand across his forehead.

"Okay, I admit. I kind of slept with her. But it only happened once."

When Terence finished talking, Carla pulled a long face. She suddenly became really jealous of that

woman.

She immediately regretted asking him the question. Why did she ask him? It only pained her to know

the truth.

Terence was 28 years old! It was normal for a man his age to have had fallen in love and slept with

other women before.

"Actually, I suddenly feel tired. Can you please go out of my room now? I think I need a short nap,"

Carla said. She threw the cushion to the side and turned her back on Terence.

Terence leaned closer to her and gently rested his head on her shoulder, "Well, someone is jealous.

That night she and I drank too much and got drunk. We slept on the same bed, but we didn't do

anything else. Besides, a male friend of mine slept on the sofa in the same room that night," he uttered.

Carla snorted then responded, "I don't think someone will do just that when they find themselves

sleeping on the same bed together."

"Carla, I never explained myself to anyone except you. I just said I slept with her once when other

people asked me about it. When they misunderstood that we had sex, I did not bother correcting them.

It doesn't matter how others think about my relationship with her,"

Terence said sincerely. If he really had sex with other women, he would have considered hiding it from

Carla because he was afraid that it might hurt her. However, he never did have any sexual relations

with other women. He didn't want to create any chance to let her misunderstand him.

Carla turned to glance at him and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Except for her, you have never

slept with any other women?"

"No,"

Terence answered without hesitation.

Carla breathed a sigh of relief and a smile spread across her face. She leaned against him and said,

"Okay. Whether what you said just now is true or not, I will choose to believe you this time."

After all, even if he really did have sexual relations with other women, there was nothing she could do

about it. It would be best for both of them if she could just trust him."

"Carla, what about you?" Terence asked, looking at Carla who was smiling happily in his arms.

Carla stretched out her legs and positioned her feet on the armrest of the sofa, comfortably leaning in

his arms. She replied without thinking, "I have never slept with any man. My parents died about three

years ago. At that time, my brother was still in kindergarten and I also had to go to school. I was

already busy enough because I needed to take care of my brother and myself all the time. I had no

energy to date anyone."

What she said was true. During those days, she was having a really hard time. It was impossible for

her to spend her time in building a relationship with any man.

However, when she was in senior high school, she once tried to confess to the most handsome boy in

their school. She and Ruth even made a bet over that to see whether she could win the boy's heart or

not.

But before she succeeded in getting the boy, he transferred to another school. She didn't even get the

chance to kiss him!

She also had a secret crush on Evan for three years. However, she was not brave enough to tell him

that she liked him.

With this in mind, Carla felt disappointed. She thought that it would be best if she did not tell Terence

about all of those.

After hearing her, Terence thought of what Nathan said this morning.

He had no idea whether or not Nathan was telling the truth. Was Carla really hiding something from

him on purpose?

"Get your hand off me."

Carla batted Terence's hand away when she noticed that he was placing his hand on her chest. After

that, she picked up her phone and browsed through it leisurely.

With furrowed eyebrows, Terence leaned towards her and placed his hand on her chest again. He

deliberately pinched her skin a little hard. "You have already slept with me and we made love to each

other last night. Why are you being shy all of a sudden? What's stopping you from letting me touch you

for a while?"

"Get your hands off me! Who told you that I did such a thing with you?"

Carla spat at him quickly without thinking, glaring at him with rage.

When she was finished speaking, she bit her lip hard.
