Terence held Carla in his arms. After kissing her thoroughly a few more times, he released her from his embrace. "Let me sleep a bit longer, Carla. When we wake up, let's have some brunch and then set off," he said.
Carla said nothing.
She only let him hold her and kiss her because she did want him to take her out for some fresh air. However, she hadn't forgiven him yet. It would take some time before she could forgive him.
They slept for about an hour more.
After waking up, Terence took a shower and then ate something. Carla was becoming restless because he was taking too long to get ready.
If they couldn't leave by noon, they needed to putt off their trip until after lunch. They would definitely arrive at their destination late in the afternoon if they dally longer. They wouldn't have enough time to have fun!
Nathan and Rainer already loaded the car with the mountaineering essentials. They were holding the door open for them outside of the villa when Carla and Terence walked out.
Carla wore a pink sportswear and a white pair of sneakers. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail.
"Hurry up, please!" Carla shouted. When she turned around, she saw that Terence was just stepping out of the door.
Terence decided to wear a grey sportswear that matched hers perfectly. He also wore a pair of white sneakers.
However, the collar of his top had a vertical design to cover the long scratch on his neck.
He was wearing a charming smile when he stepped out of the house. When he saw that Carla was beckoning to him from inside the car, his smile broadened.
He strode quickly to the car.
What an impatient girl! It was obvious that she wanted to go already.
Carla was trying to get settled inside the car when she suddenly heard another car approaching from a far.
Carla looked up to see a white BMW approaching the Seaview Villa.
"Mr. Terence, it's Miss Bonnie's car,"
Rainer said as he walked up to Terence.
The white BMW stopped in front of them.
Bonnie, who was wearing a white sportswear, got off the BMW and ran up to Terence.
Bonnie was restless. She found it difficult to sleep last night. She was really anxious at the thought of Carla living with Terence.
Unlike her other brothers, her only way out of their family was Terence. Her happiness for the rest of her life depended on whether or not she could marry Terence. She was determined to marry him. She was willing to do everything to make that dream of hers possible.
Everything was going smoothly until that Carla suddenly showed up. She had it all planned already! That bitch stood between them and now she had no other choice but to become desperate.
She decided to set off early in the morning to visit Terence.
"Terence! How about we go to the countryside together? It's a nice day today. Don't you think?"
Bonnie asked while holding Terence's arms. She saw that Terence was also wearing a sportswear. It made him look even more masculine and charming. Bonnie couldn't help but gaze at him in admiration.
Her determination to get Terence got even stronger.
"Terence, are you going now? That's great! Let's go together!" Bonnie said, acting surprised.
Terence ignored her and gave her the cold shoulder.
Bonnie then noticed that Carla was looking at them from the side.
She also noticed that Carla and Terence were wearing the same style of sportswear. It made her extremely jealous but she immediately composed herself.
"Hey, Carla, you're here, too!" Bonnie greeted Carla.
Carla flashed her a grim smile then turned towards Terence.
"I'm taking Carla out. Now that you're here, let's go together," Terence glanced at Carla as he replied to Bonnie impassively.
