Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 247 Thank You, Carla

The sadness on Carla's face was swept away immediately as soon as she got into the car.

Carla took Nicholas' arm with a big smile and said, "Wow, Grandpa. Your acting skill is excellent! Are

you sure that you were a soldier and not an actor in the past?"

"Of course. Don't look down on me. I have experienced a lot during my years of doing business with

other people as the man in charge of the AJ Group so acting is easy for me," Nicholas said while also

smiling.

The car quickly drove away from the East Yard.

Terence arranged for Carla to not go back to their current residence. He wanted her to go to the

Seaview Villa instead.

Everything went as they expected. Shortly after she said her goodbyes to Nicholas, Carla's car was

blocked while she was on her way back to the Seaview Villa.

Carla got out of the car as soon as it was stopped.

As soon as she got out of the car, she was immediately surrounded by a dozen men.

Suddenly, another car stopped in front of Carla. Marcus got out of the car and walked immediately

towards her.

"Is it true that you are my brother's girlfriend?"

Marcus gave Carla a thorough inspection. He did not dare say anything to her when they were at the

An's Manor because he was afraid to say too much in front of Edmund and Nicholas.

"Marcus, what exactly do you mean by that? We just met at the manor a few minutes ago,"

Carla answered calmly while looking at Marcus.

Marcus circled around Carla. He suddenly stopped in front of her and grabbed her chin with one hand

then said, "I didn't expect that my brother's type would be someone like this. Your are kind of pretty,

though. However, with that bad temper and rude manner, I have to say Terence indeed has no taste for

women.

My brother is already dead. Why are you still clinging to a dead person? Don't be foolish and just

accept the fact that he will never return to you. Why don't you just become my woman instead? I can

guarantee that I could give you a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of your life,"

Marcus said while boldly reaching out to pinch Carla's buttocks. Carla immediately avoided him then

said with a cold smile, "Marcus, why are you here? Why did you follow me? Are you feeling guilty?

You should know that I am being protected by Grandpa Nicholas. Aren't you afraid of making him angry

by being such a jerk to me?"

Marcus laughed. He raised his chin and said proudly, "I'm not afraid of the old man. Your boyfriend is

already dead. I'm the only reasonable heir to the An's fortune. I'm not afraid of anyone!"

"Marcus, are you finally admitting that you have something to do with Terence's death?" Carla snapped

at him in a cold voice.

Marcus suddenly stopped laughing when he heard Carla's words. "Woman, I advise that you use the

brain in that pretty little head of yours. Don't risk yourself for a dead person. Or else..." he warned.

Before Marcus could even finish his words, another car emerged from the villa. Four bodyguards got

out of the car and walked towards Carla.

"Miss Carla, Mr. Nicholas arranged for us to escort you back,"

the head bodyguard said politely as soon as he reached Carla.

"Marcus, how about we talk about this someplace else?" Carla deliberately raised her voice to ask

Marcus.

Marcus coughed softly and changed his tone immediately. After all, he knew that no matter how

arrogant he was, he could never ignore his grandfather's orders.

"Carla, I hope that you could get over your sadness soon. I'm sorry that I was unable to help you. Now

that Grandpa has arranged for them to escort you, you won't need my assistance anymore so I'll just

head back first. I really do hope that we uncover the truth soon!"

Marcus said. He waved to his subordinates and indicated that it was time for them to leave. When all of

his people left, he got into his car and drove away.

Carla returned to her car as soon as Marcus was gone.

She instructed the driver to stop at the Seaview Villa first before heading to where she and Terence

now lived, in case Marcus's men were still secretly following her.

Sean was still at school but she promised him a few days ago that she would visit him to spend some

time with him.

Since Sean knew Terence's accident, he had always been worried about Terence's safety. She wanted

to tell him some news about Terence this time so that he could feel a little bit relieved.

Actually, Carla felt sorry for Sean because he was deeply affected when he heard about Terence's

accident. However, Terence needed her help and company these days so she decided to lie to Sean

for a little longer.

She strongly believed that the unhappy situation that they have now would soon come to an end. They

just need to be a little more patient.

As soon as she entered the house, Carla was embraced by a familiar set of arms.

"Carla, thank you," said a gentle voice in Carla's ear.

Terence leaned to her and gave her the sweetest kiss. Then he looked down at her face with a smile.

Terence was already aware of what happened in the East Yard. He was very impressed by Carla's

good performance.

"Well, do I get some kind of reward?" Carla looked up and smiled at the very handsome man in front of

her. She was so happy to see him.

Terence laughed and held her face in his hands, "Tell me whatever reward you want. I will grant it!"

Carla felt a little shy because Terence was staring at her intently. She thought for a while and said, "I

only want one thing from you. However, it is not the right time for me to ask for it so please wait a few

more days. I'll tell you what I want then."

Carla wanted to ask Terence about the ring before but he got into an accident so she didn't get the This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

chance to ask him about it.

It was a good thing that he was now back to her safely. She just needed to wait for the appropriate

opportunity to ask him about the ring.

They could take the ring together to Grandpa Nicholas and ask him to find an expert that could help

them appraise it carefully.

Terence was currently recovering and he also had a lot of work to finish today so it was not the right

time for her to ask about it.

"Another day?" Terence looked at Carla hesitantly while still holding her in his arms. Then he said,

"Okay, I understand. I can wait. By the way, did Marcus do anything to you today?"

"No. Grandpa sent his bodyguards just in time to escort me home. Marcus did not dare hurt me," Carla

said to Terence while walking over to the sofa.

The maid appeared and served them tea and some fruits.

"Marcus knows that Grandpa is protecting you so he will not dare do anything reckless. He just wanted

to frighten you a little. He would not act rashly this time," Terence said while taking a piece of fruit and

feeding it to the woman beside him.

Carla opened her mouth to eat the fruit. She leaned on Terence's shoulder and then said casually, "Of

course he would never dare do anything to me. Grandpa is watching him now like a hawk. If he commit

any crime in JA City, Grandpa would never let him go easily."

Suddenly, Carla's phone rang and displayed an unknown phone number.

She hesitated for a while and contemplated whether she should answer it or not. Terence looked at her

cell phone and asked, "It's from JA City. Why not just answer it?"

Carla decided to finally answer the phone. An unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the call.

"Hello? Who is that?"

It was a male voice.

Naturally, one couldn't immediately recognize another person's voice on the phone unless they

frequently call each other.

Carla listened to the voice carefully and tried to figure out his identity.

Terence reached out and changed her phone setting into speaker mode. He was afraid that this

strange phone call was from Marcus.

The voice on the other end of the phone continued.

"Are you free this afternoon? Can you come out to meet me today?" Carla still couldn't figure out whom

the voice belonged to.

When he heard the unknown man's voice, Terence's handsome face suddenly turned dark.

Although Carla still didn't know who the owner of the voice was, it was clear that Terence recognized it.

It was impossible for him to reveal his situation yet but he still wanted to grab the phone and question

Johnny as to why he was calling his woman!

"Who are you?!"

Carla still didn't know who the man was but it was clear that whoever it was, Terence was not happy to

hear his voice.

"'This is Johnny. I'll wait for you at Otter Bay this afternoon. Please come and meet me there, okay?"

Johnny sounded a little impatient while he was telling Carla his name.

When she heard Johnny's "self-introduction", Carla finally understood why Terence's face became

dark. She looked at the man beside her with unwavering eyes.
