Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 128

Terence called Nathan and asked him to bring a cup of coffee. He looked up at Bryant through his long thick lashes.

"Of course I want to do that but I can't. You know nothing about the situation of the Hua family. Under the calm waters are the dark tides. It just seems like everything is going smoothly, but in reality, conflicts continue to spread and intensify. If we expose Carla's real identity this time, we would put her in danger," Terence expounded on the situation.

Hearing Terence's explanation, Bryant hesitated for a moment. He was an expert in searching for information but he had no idea about the complication of power struggle between warring families.

"But...that can't be true! Miss Carla is the only true biological daughter of the Hua family. Isn't she supposed to be the apple of their eyes? How could she be in danger?" Bryant curiously asked.

Terence just sneered and shook his head.

"Bryant, you don't understand. I know this kind of family very well. The Hua family adopted three sons. Aside from Bonnie, those three sons have already been fighting tooth and nail for the family inheritance. The mere presence of Carla, being the only true biological daughter would only make them unite to bring her down," Terence clarified.

With a large fortune in front of them, even biological siblings became enemies, what more would happen with family members who are not related by blood?

If Carla's true identity was made public at this moment, she would become everyone's target.

After hearing Terence's concerns, Bryant fully understood his reasons.

"How silly of me! If that's the case, Mr. Terence, you must take good care of Miss Carla and keep her away from the Hua family or she would be in danger!" Bryant concluded.

It was clear then that the situation was not just any small matter. The Hua family had such a huge wealth and influence that it wouldn't be surprising if people killed each other for it.

"You shouldn't worry about that. Carla is my future wife. Of course, I'll keep her safe," Terence confidently assured him. Terence called on Nathan—who was waiting at the door—to come in.

Then, he turned off the laptop and sat down on the sofa.

"Here's your coffee, Mr. Terence." Nathan placed the mug on the table and stood quietly behind him.

Having sat for too long, Terence started to feel pain on his back. He stretched his shoulders and placed his hand on the arm of the sofa, fingers tapping gently on it. "Nathan, you told me last time that Noah, the eldest son of the Hua family, tried to approach Carla. Is there any other thing about that encounter that seems significant?" Terence carefully asked Nathan.

Nathan thought for a moment before speaking,"we found out that Noah was the one who instructed the robbery. But we still don't know his real intention."

Terence squinted. Nathan's words cast a shadow over his eyes. His taps on the edge of the sofa became faster and faster.

Now, he finally understood.

Noah must have been aware of Carla's real identity. That was why he tried to approach her. But why hadn't he taken action yet? Or was he plotting something else?

There was one thing he knew for sure. Noah was the smartest in the Hua family. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the first one to find out the truth.

Since Noah knew about it, he must have had a detailed plan already.

If that was the case, Noah was bound to become his enemy in the days to come.

Without a doubt, Noah would certainly take advantage of Carla

In the next room, Carla was sound asleep. She had raised her voice at Terence earlier, but after that, she could finally rest. She was completely unaware that Terence was staying up all night for her sake.

The next morning, Carla got up early. Although the servants always took care of Sean and his needs and she didn't have to look after him herself, she still voluntarily chose to do it. Old habits certainly die hard. As an early riser, she got out of bed as usual and helped the servants prepare breakfast for Sean.

"Sophie, Te— Er...Mr. Terence, is he still asleep?"

Carla was about to casually call Terence by his name, but she corrected herself immediately.

After all, he was the master of this house. It might be alright if she called his name privately, but doing so in front of the servants would be too impolite.

"Miss Carla, Mr. Terence stayed up late last night. He's probably still sleeping right now. Mr. Nathan told us not to disturb him a moment ago,"

Sophie—the maid—answered her with a warm smile. She then continued,"Breakfast is ready, Miss Carla. Why don't you sit down and have a bite?"

"Oh. Okay." Carla picked up a plate of fried egg and walked outside to the dining room.

'Terence stayed up late last night?

Was it because I scolded him so severely that he got upset?

No...that's impossible. He was so thick-skinned that he would never be bothered by something like that, ' Carla thought as she ate her breakfast.
