Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 338 Tired

But when

the moment she opened the door, Carla felt a bit dizzy.

In a room full of loud music and flickering lights, she found it difficult to focus in such a ruckus.

When her eyes had finally adjusted to her surroundings, she saw a couple, sitting down on the red

couch inside.

The man, whom she thought she knew well, now was holding a girl, not very beautiful but seemed very

smart. Looking at him, Carla felt like she didn't recognize him anymore.

Terence smiled as he gripped the girl's hand in his while she placed her other hand on his right thigh. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The Terence she knew would never let any other woman touch him. From the looks of it, it seemed he

was enjoying it now. The girl whispered something into his ear and he gave her a grin.

It felt all familiar to Carla.

He used to look and smile at her in that way but now he was doing it to someone else. She could hear

her heart crack into tiny little pieces.

Her gaze went dark. As if she was possessed by some entity, Carla walked sharply towards them

before she could even realize it.

The next thing she knew, she grabbed the girl by the shoulder and yanked her out of Terence's

embrace with all the strength she could muster.

Inside the noisy room and the flashing lights, Carla felt her heartbeat ringing up to her ears.

Terence could only stare at Carla and their eyes met. His eyes glittered and immediately shifted away.

He quickly stood up and held the girl, dusting off the dust from her dress. He asked in concern, "Rena,

are you alright?"

The girl named Rena nodded and glared at Carla. She replied to Terence, not ripping her eyes off

Carla, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Carla could only stare in pain as she watched how Terence cared for the other woman.

She felt she had lost control of herself.

She needed to do something! She couldn't think straight anymore.

Carla's heart pounded along with the pounding sounds of the room. When she noticed the black plug

on the wall, she pulled it off without any hesitation.

The lights stopped flashing and the music faded away. Silence filled up the room.

Everyone stopped laughing and dancing. All eyes were laid towards Carla's direction.

"Terence, we need to talk!" Carla spoke out, trying her best to suppress her disappointment and anger.

She tried hard to sound natural as if nothing happened.

"Well, if you insist, we can talk here!"

Terence replied, crossing his legs. He quickly grabbed his glass of beer and took a sip.

Meanwhile, Theo cleared his throat and gestured to the other people on the sofa that it was already

time for them to leave.

"Terence, do I also need to leave too?" Rena asked in an innocent voice.

Terence looked at her with soft eyes. "No need. Please sit by my side."

Upon hearing his words, Rena gave a satisfied smile. She interlocked her fingers with his and leaned

her head on his shoulder.

Her face was radiating and was full of love.

"Terence, enough with the mind games! Let her go,"

Carla said firmly, trying not to crack into sobs. Her tears started to well up but she tried her best not to

cry in front of them. She reached out again, wanting to pull them apart.

Before Carla could touch them, Terence suddenly grabbed her hand and said angrily, "Stop it, Carla!

What are you doing here?"

"T-Terence, I... I came here to explain my side.

It was all lies made by Noah. I never did anything with him."

Carla took a deep breath to calm herself down. If she managed to clear up the misunderstanding

between the two of them, everything would come back to normal.

"The reason why I hesitated is that I had completely forgotten about that little mole on my back. The

time when Noah found out about that mole was when he applied ointment on my back in BH City.

Terence, please believe me! I'll never sleep with Noah!"

Carla looked desperate, biting down her lower lip and waited for his answer.

"Ah, is that it?"

Terence took the lighter on the table and lit up his cigarette. Then Rena wrapped her arms around his.

He didn't push Rena away and just gave her a sweet smile.

"Well, if you're finished, you should go. Can't you see that we're busy doing something?" Terence coldly

said to Carla.

Carla was stunned. She didn't expect to receive such a cruel answer from him.

She sighed deeply, "Terence, like I have said earlier, what you have heard was just Noah's lies. Nothing

really happened.

During my time in the Hua family, Auntie Andrea accompanied me all the time. Noah couldn't even had

an opportunity to touch me. The day you came was actually my second day after I moved in. Do you

really buy his bullshit?"

When Carla finally finished speaking, Rena dramatically spoke out, "Oh come on! Stop this nonsense,

girl. If I were you, I would never let any men touch my back. It's a part that shouldn't be touched and

being touched on the back means that you're an easy girl.

Am I correct, Terence?"

Rena gave a smirk, turning to Terence for approval.

Carla couldn't help but laugh upon hearing her childish remark. "Oh, honey, that's so silly! Well, if you

get hurt and go to the hospital, will you only allow female doctors to touch you?"

"Well, of course!" Rena replied with wide eyes.

"Oh, is that so? What if there isn't a single female doctor around? I believe you'd rather suffer in pain

than let a male doctor touch you, am I right?"

Carla rolled her eyes. Rena's remark was just totally ridiculous. Just because she let Noah help her

apply some ointment, that didn't mean she was an easy girl. Did Terence even replace her with such an

idiot?

"It doesn't matter! Being physically and mentally pure are important! Infidelity is never ever tolerable in

a relationship!" Rena spoke up. Then she cooed to Terence, "Darling Terence, if I ever get hurt, I'll only

allow you to apply the ointment. I'll never let any other man touch me."

Rena batted her eyelash like a ninny.

Terence chuckled and pinched her cheek gently. "Alright."

Rena smiled even broader and buried herself into his chest.

"Terence, I'll only be with you forever and ever!"

Carla felt cringing. How the hell did they get so intimate in such a short period of time?

"Terence, how further are you with her now?"

Carla couldn't help but blurt it out.

Terence knitted his eyebrows together. "It doesn't matter. I heard what you just said earlier. There must

be some misunderstanding but..."

He paused for a moment and sighed, "But the truth is, I'm tired already, Carla. I don't think I can wait for

you anymore. My patience has just run dry.

Even if I can wait for you, my grandfather can't. I have to think about my family. Carla, please forgive

me."

Carla's eyes widened, feeling a thousand daggers stab her heart. She cried out, "T-Terence? Is this

really you?

I thought you knew me well."

Terence knew well everything behind her engagement with Noah. If he didn't trust her, why did he try

so hard to find her again and again?

Terence watched Carla, whose tears were flowing all over her face.

"Do you really think I'll take you back no matter what once Noah gives up on you? Is that what you

really think?

If it happened earlier, I would do everything to protect and wait for you. But now, things have changed. I

don't have the time and energy anymore."

Terence looked away from her. "Carla, for our sake, please go away."

Carla began sobbing, breaking down.

She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck lightly. "When I was with the Hua family,

the only thing that kept me going was you. But then, since you don't want me anymore, I guess all my

enduring and efforts were in vain. Please take those words back. Please take me back!"

All of a sudden, Rena pulled her out of Terence's embrace. Carla was thrown to the table next to them

with a bang.

"Don't touch my Terence! You don't deserve him!"
