Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 103

Carla felt helpless as it seemed that everyone was against her. The people on the bus wouldn't stop and Sean wouldn't give up. She rubbed her eyebrows and gave him a warning glance. However, Sean was so hyped up that he didn't even notice.

Carla was losing her patience with Sean. She couldn't do anything about the way the other people were treating her, but this was her brother. Sean was just inviting more trouble to her.

She had totally cut off from Terence.

What would it look like if Sean called him out of the blue all of a sudden? Thinking about that, Carla could just sigh silently under her breath.

"Great! Look Jeremy, Sean is a man of his own word after all!" Mrs. Jiang commented something seemingly nice although she was still mocking. She was about to make the call and then she stopped for a moment.

"I'll make the phone call then. Is everyone okay with it?" she asked again as she looked around at everyone on the bus.

Her eyes finally landed on Carla, who had been silent the whole time. All of the passengers on the bus were eager and excited for her to call. Looking forward to seeing how it was all going to unfold. Everyone that was, except for Carla.

"Carla, has the cat got your tongue? Why don't you answer me? It seems as if I'm bullying a kid. Do you dare to let me make the call or not?" Mrs. Jiang added with sarcasm in her voice.

Carla rubbed her eyes lightly and frowned. She looked up at Mrs. Jiang, who was holding the phone taunting her with it.

"Fine! Just make the call," Carla replied firmly.

If she didn't agree to it, then Sean would lose face in front of everyone. She couldn't let that happen.

After all, Sean was all she had. If he felt sad, then Carla would be upset as well.

It shouldn't matter if Sean answered the call anyway. He was still a kid, so Terence might not think too much about it.

"Okay! Great! Here we go." Mrs. Jiang gave Carla a thumbs up gesture and dialed the number out quickly.

She then passed the phone to Sean in time before anyone had answered the call.

There was a nervous tension on the bus. Everyone was silent. All that could be heard was the dull hum of the coach motor and the dial tone of the phone. No one dared to make a sound in fear of missing a detail.

After several rings, the call was finally answered. The people on the bus stretched their necks out and pricked their ears up to hear better, even though the call was already on speaker.

"Terence! It's me, Sean!"

Sean got excited with his little heart racing inside his chest once he heard that the call got through.

"Sean? Which Sean?" The man on the line seemed to be confused. The air grew thick with anticipation.

The excited smile on Sean's face froze and his heart sank, when he realized that it wasn't Terence's voice on the line.

"Mrs. Jiang, this isn't Terence. It must be a wrong number," Sean said with doubt in his eyes.

"Not a chance!" Mrs. Jiang barked at once as she snatched the phone from Sean's hand. She then put on a sweet voice and asked, "Excuse me? Is that Mr. An?"

"Yes, it is. Who is this?" The man seemed to have lost his patience and questioned with irritation in his voice.

"Well, do you know Sean and his sister, Carla?" Mrs. Jiang asked, anxious to prove to everyone on the bus that the number was the correct one.

She had put so much effort into getting the number and bragged about it, that she would look a fool now if it was the wrong one.

Besides, the man on the line did say that his family name was An, so she was confident that it was the correct number.

"You mean Sean Ji and Carla Ji? Well, you should call Terence. I'm his second eldest brother. But Terence and his fiancee are on vacation abroad at the moment."

It was Rhys An, who was on the other end of the line. If it were Marcus An, the eldest brother who had answered, then he definitely wouldn't have known about Sean and Carla.

But Rhys knew them since he had met them before. The only reason why he disclosed the whereabouts of Terence, was that he knew Sean and Carla were pretty close to Terence.

After giving her the information, Rhys then hung up the phone and put Mrs. Jiang's number into the blacklist.

Mrs. Jiang was left like a stunned mullet. So the number was wrong after all. There were three sons in the An family. The number that she got was Terence An's brother and not Terence's like she had thought.

Mrs. Jiang shook her head slightly and regained her composure. All was not lost. At least she had learned a few things from the phone call.

Two major points in fact.

First, Terence An did know Sean and Carla.

Therefore, Carla didn't lie when she said that they knew Terence but were not that close for him to come and meet them once they had arrived in JA City.
