Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 243 Promises Calling (Part Two)

It was also the perfect place for Terence since he was injured. It allowed him a period of time to get

better and had his matters handled undisturbed.

"Hey sweetheart, you're back!"

As soon as Carla walked inside, Terence immediately put his phone down and greeted her with a grin

on his face. If it wasn't the drip he had attached on, he would've jumped on her and hug her dearly.

"Why the drip is still on? I thought it would probably end by now. Have you eaten yet?" Carla walked

straight up to him after she changed into her indoor shoes.

Staring at Carla with a seductive smile, Terence replied, "It was put on just not long before so it might

take some time."

Sniffing around her shoulder, the unused arm of his curled around Carla's waist as he spoke. Suddenly,

he stopped his hand and frowned a little bit.

A moment of hesitation hit him in and he suddenly grabbed Carla's arm with another hand.

"Babe, did you go out to see another man? Without telling me?"

Carla went puzzled. She tried to not show her frustration but no effect. 'Was it really so obvious?' she

thought.

"Hmm, it looks like I'm being a burden now. Who would want a man that is sick and staying at home all

day doing nothing? Even my only love is going to leave me..."

Terence stressed on the "only love" part pretending to be hurt by the fact that Carla was seeing another

man. Then he looked away from Carla and laid against the sofa, looking helpless and devastated.

"Hey! What are you even talking about? How could you blame me for something without knowing the

details? It's not what it looks like,"

Carla explained nervously, thinking that she was caught. Yet she didn't know that Terence was just

teasing her.

When Terence had his suspicion confirmed, his face suddenly darkened. He replied with a deep voice,

"Oh, so you did meet some guy before you come back!"

The complicated look on Terence's face confused Carla. She wasn't sure if he was really mad at her or

not, so she made herself comfortable on the sofa and started telling Terence what happened before

she came back.

She gave him every details and left nothing hidden. Carla told him all about how she came across

Johnny on Marcus' turf, also how she had been using Johnny's power to regain connection with

Terence again. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

For Carla, there was no need to hide anything from Terence. The reason why she waited till now to

confess everything was just because he didn't really asked.

She promised all that to Johnny because she was out of options and she desperately needed to find

Terence. She would do anything she could to see him again, even making promises that were against

her will. For her, it worth the price.

"Remember when I told you that Johnny was also involved in the whole thing back in NF? This is why. I

almost forgot all about it after my return until he found me today and mentioned this to me..."

One thing she didn't know was that Johnny considered her promise seriously when it was meant to be

perfunctory.

"How dare he claim my woman?" Letting out a cold sneer, Terence clenched his fist slowly until blue

veins stood out on the back of his hand. He uttered with painful sarcasm in his voice, "A man who

doesn't know a storm is coming his way yet has the nerve to touch my woman."

Carla was looking at him with pain and love. It's a feeling so deep that her eyes would drawn in it.

"Terence, do you trust me?"

Disturbed by her sudden move, Terence put his hand on her chin and met her eyes. He chuckled, "Why

don't you tell me?"

Carla locked her eyes onto his and held his hand.

Looking determined, Carla whispered, "Okay, I will take that as a yes. If you trust me, why don't you let

me handle Johnny. He colluded with Marcus to kill you! That I could never ever forgive! I wouldn't be so

mad if he just let it be and leave. But, he came to me instead. I can't let him get away that easily this

time with what he has done."

Diving in deep thoughts, Carla bit her lower lip. It was a blessing when she saw Terence came back

alive. The memory oh his helpless body was still so vivid, she had to wake up every night and make

sure he was beside her.

If anything unfortunate happened to him, Carla would go insane. He was her life.

"Oh my dear, risking your life is never an option I would take. I want you to stay out of this and be safe,

for me. Revenge should be handled by men. I can't let you do this."

Holding her shoulder tightly, Terence made a promise to himself that he would never risk Carla's safety

or let her alone, playing against a dangerous man like Johnny.

How could he?

"Listen to me, Terence. I just want to help you. I know women are weak in power but I think I am

capable on more than what you've imagined. I promise you that I won't risk my life. Why don't you just

let me be and see how it goes? I wouldn't mind if you jump in and help when I'm in trouble tho," Carla

shared her thoughts with the angry man, lying comfortably on his chest.

"Fine. If that's really what you want to do, then do it. How can I even stop you?" Terence was

impressed by her stubbornness, 'If she want to show her claws, then should it be, ' Terence thought to

himself. The least he could do was placing more protection just in case something might happen.

He paused for a moment and continued, "But you know what? Johnny has a great taste for women,

choosing you exactly. Pumpkin, I am so glad that I made my way back to you. I don't know what would

happen to you if I showed up a minute later. Those horny wolves might just eat you alive."

Smiling and whispered tenderly, Terence planted a soft kiss on Carla's silky smooth hair.

He knew that Carla's beauty might be attractive to those men out there. With Noah being the first and

Johnny as the second, greedy and hostile, he would have lost himself if anything did happen to the one

and only love of his.

"You better carve that into your brain just in case you forget it someday. Also, if you don't want other

men's hands get to me, you better behave yourself and live until you're a thousand year's old!" Carla

faked a serious voice and gave him a fierce look. Not waiting for his next move, she got up from his

chest and asked the maid to bring the food over to the table.

When all the dishes were placed, Carla took a bowl of soup and walked back to Terence. Since there

were still some time left for the drip to finish, she fed him patiently.

Lying comfortably on the sofa, Terence looked at the woman who was feeding him with his eyes full of

love.

Joy consumed him and he could just die right now without any regret. Right in her arms.
