Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 339 Don't Pretend Anymore!

Carla could not help grunting in pain. The bottles on the table behind her got broken into pieces. When

she raised her hand, she saw that her hand was pierced by small glass fragments and blood was

spilling out.

She looked up at Terence, but noticed that he was trying to avoid her gaze.

Desperate, she only shook her head.

Tears began to well up.

She used to be showered by Terence's love and care but now she wasn't even worth a second glance

from him.

Clenching her fists, Carla panted and struggled to stand up. Then she smiled at Terence.

"Mr. Terence An, I want to thank you. Thank you for taking care of me and Sean back in the days.

Thank you for loving and tolerating me. You are the first man who made me feel that I am more

important than anything else. I always dreamed of growing old with you until the last day we breathe.

From the day I decided to be yours, I've been trying my best to love you and protect you. I want to be a

woman deserving your love. I won't be ashamed of doing crazy things for our love. Maybe we are just

not meant to be."

Carla took a deep breath and wiped away her tears with her uninjured hand. "Thank you for loving me

so much, Terence. I hope in our next lives, we will be together. The moment I get out of here, we won't

have any relations with each other anymore. Please apologize to Grandpa Nicholas for me since I have

let him down."

Carla spouted out whatever coming into her mind at this moment before she bowed slightly to him.

With tears threatening to spill from her eyes, she smiled and walked towards the door.

When she was about to turn the doorknob, she heard Rena's voice shout, "Terence!"

Her eyes widened when she felt Terence's hand gripping her injured wrist. Then he opened the door,

bringing her along with him.

"Terence?" Rena called him again.

She also followed them out immediately.

Despite the pain Carla felt as Terence held her, she could not help curving her lips upwards, forming a

slight smile.

She thought, 'See, Terence? You can't pretend not to love me.'

Terrence dragged her towards his car. She sat in the front seat while Rena helped herself at the back.

Then he immediately started the engine and headed for the hospital.

As she was examined by the doctor, Carla tightly closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to endure the

pain. The doctor carefully removed the fragments in her hand and then treated the wounds with

medicines. "And we're done," the doctor spoke after he had finished wrapping her hand in a bandage.

"It's alright now. Keep the wounds dry. Clean them and change the bandages regularly while you

recover," the doctor advised.

The doctor had finally packed up. "If you will excuse me, I do have a patient at Room 245. Have a good

evening." Then the doctor gave a slight bow and walked away.

"Terence, she can manage herself now. I think we can leave now," Rena spoke, holding Terence's arm.

She didn't dare to talk much since she knew it was her who had Carla suffer such pain. Since Carla's

condition was stable now, she tried to convince Terence to leave with her.

Carla stared at her bandaged hand and then looked at Terence. Her eyes found his.

"Rena, I just heard someone call you outside. Maybe it's your friend. Why don't you go and take a

look?" Carla spoke.

"Huh? Who?" Rena turned her head and hurried towards the door.

The moment Rena went out, Carla stood up, closed the door, and locked it from the inside.

It took a moment for Rena to realize that Carla was messing with her. She turned back and banged her

fist at the door.

"Terence? Terence, open this door! Terence! Carla, you bitch! What the hell are you doing?"

Carla stared at the closed door and rolled her eyes. Then she walked towards Terence.

Sighing, she raised her uninjured hand and held his waist, pulling him towards her.

"Please don't do that anymore. It hurts so bad," she whispered. She buried her face into his chest,

savoring his warmth.

"I can't stand it when you look at other women the same way as you look at me. I can't stand it when

you are so close to them. Please don't approach them anymore in the future. Will you?"

Terence removed her hand from his waist and held her wrist. His stare was intense, as if he was This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

challenging her.

"Oh yeah? You can't stand it, and you think I can stand it, huh? Probably your hands have held Noah's.

Probably your lips have been kissed by him," Terence sneered at her. Love and frustration were

swirling up inside his chest.

He couldn't hold back his frustrations and shouted, "Carla, I don't want this! I can't stand this kind of

torture and I have decided to pull myself out of all this shit! Have you ever thought about how I feel

when I know that you are sleeping inside another man's house? It is true that I can't stand seeing you

getting injured in front of me. But I want to let you know that I can live without you in my life, Carla. It's

time to set myself free from this madness."

Then he finally dropped her wrist and straightened his coat.

"Now that you have finally seen me and I have said what I needed to say, I'm leaving."

Then he began striding towards the door. But unexpectedly, he was stopped in his tracks.

Carla embraced him from behind. "Is that what you really want? Well, if you want to leave me, I won't

force you to stay. But I have one last request."

She paused for a moment and then continued, "I'll go to your office tomorrow. Don't hide from me one

last time."

With that, she finally let him go.

It was getting late. It was the best that they should go on their separate ways for the time being and

calm down.

Terence did not make any respond. He pulled the door open and walked out.

Rena, who was eavesdropping outside the door, jumped back when the door opened. She gave a

jealous glare at Carla before she silently trailed behind Terence.

Staring at them, Carla forced a smile and thought, 'Tomorrow's another day.'

After everything she and Terence had been through, including those life-threatening experiences, how

would they be able to give up on their love so easily? No, it wouldn't be easy.

When she got engaged to Noah, she knew that Terence had every reason to get mad with her. She

wouldn't blame him if he was doing something to give up on his feelings for her. As for her, she was

unable to let go of their love. She knew that she must at least do something so that their love wouldn't

disappear.

Carla could finally take a deep breath in relief. She might have been a bit over the top that night but she

had already served her purpose.

Then she had to ensure that Terence wouldn't be taken away by some other woman so easily. She had

to step up her game.

She took a cab on her way to a hotel and decided to stay there for a night.

"Tsk!" She clicked her tongue in annoyance as her phone kept ringing. It was Noah who kept calling

her. Tired of the annoying ringing sound, she finally turned her cellphone off.

She still had something important to do the next day. She couldn't let Noah blow it.

She made her mind that she would satisfy Terence the next day. The last time he visited at her new

villa, she could tell that he wanted to satiate the lust he was feeling that time.

Unfortunately, Noah appeared, ruining their plans. It had been two weeks since that happened. He

would have been badly sexually frustrated during that time.

If she managed to lure him in and make love with him, their conflict would surely be going to be solved,

right?

If he was still mad at her, she was willing to go as many rounds as he would like.

The next day, Carla woke up early. It had been a while ever since she slept comfortably. She

immediately prepared herself some coffee to give her a boost.

The past two weeks was hell for her. She couldn't even sleep properly. It was two weeks of lonely

nights and seeing Terence last night made her feel a bit better.

After she had finished fixing herself, she decided to take her time. She went shopping and went to the

salon. She had all the time she would need before she dropped by at the AJ Building.

She didn't bring much clothes since she had made a quick decision to come to JA City.

Carla wasn't the type to wear clothes that showed off her figure but for some strange reason, she had

bought a set. She wore a tank top inside and a black see-through top, showing off her curves while

keeping a hint of mystery.

Then she put on a loose skirt which reached above her knees.

After she had decided for her outfit, she put on some earrings and some makeup and then made her

way to the AJ Building.

Probably Terence had prepared for her visit in advance since there wasn't any difficulty in entering his

office.

Finally she arrived in front of the door of his office.

It was Rainer who greeted her and he gave her a smile and nod. "Good day, Miss Carla. Please wait

for a moment. I'll inform Mr. Terence of your arrival."

Rainer entered and then came back out after a few moments.

"Miss Carla, Mr. Terence is only free for twenty minutes as he will be having a meeting afterward.

Please make it short."

Carla raised her eyebrows in surprise and thought to herself, 'Twenty minutes? That isn't enough.'

Then she spoke up to Rainer, "Very well. Thank you, Rainer. Please stay outside and don't let anybody

in. Even if twenty minutes have passed, don't let anyone in if I don't go out yet."

Before Rainer was given a chance to respond, Carla pushed the door and made her way in.
