Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 16

After all of that, Carla ignored Terence for a whole day.

No matter what Terence tried to say to her, Carla didn't pay him any attention as if her ears had been plugged with wads of cotton.

On that day, as soon as Sean came back from school, Terence immediately asked him to have a talk so he could ask for some advice.

"Sean, what's wrong with your sister? I have been trying to have some casual talk with her for a couple of times today, but all she ever did was ignore me!" Feeling so confused and upset, all Terence could do was complain to Sean when he reached home.

Sean put his schoolbag aside, sighed, and said, "Terence, actually, I heard what you told her yesterday. Is it really impossible for you to fall in love with my sister?"

Sean was only ten years old. But he lost both his parents at such an early age that he became more mentally mature a bit earlier than his peers. Therefore, he was able to comprehend what happened between Carla and Terence.

"Hmmm…"

Terence didn't know how to appropriately answer this question at the moment.

Sean continued to say, "Terence, my sister might always seem easy-going, not caring about the things that may upset her. However, she's actually very sensitive and delicate. Yesterday, everyone sensible could feel how much you like my sister after hearing you say those words to Karen. But later, you…"

The day before, they made somewhat of a racket in the living room that Sean couldn't help but stop doing his homework and eavesdrop behind the door.

Terence scratched his head, his face turning a bit reddish. At this moment, he heard some noise at the door, so he quickly fixed his posture.

Soon enough, the door flung open. It was Carla who just got home from grocery shopping.

"Sean, go back to your room and finish your homework first. I'll just call you when dinner is ready."

After sending Sean to his room, Carla immediately put on the apron and walked toward the kitchen.

A few minutes later, Carla inadvertently turned around, noticing that Terence was standing by the entrance of the kitchen.

"Carla..."

Carla disregarded his presence and went about washing the vegetables. Terence sighed, walked over to her, and grabbed her hand. "Carla, don't ignore me, please. Let's talk about this, okay?"

Carla drew her hand from Terence's and turned around to wash vegetables.

"There is no need for us to talk. I understand what you mean. When you've fully recovered, you can go anywhere and do whatever you like to do."

Seeing Carla so indifferent to him, Terence let out a gentle groan. "I'm sorry that I was too impulsive. I have to apologize for saying those words to you."

Not saying anything, Carla just continued washing the vegetables, turned on the gas stove, and began to fry them.

Watching all of this, Terence could only turn around and walk out of the kitchen.

After dinner, Carla took Sean out for a walk.

Terence was left sitting in the living room. Only when they came back did he turn off the laptop.

Sean wisely went back to his room, leaving the two to themselves.

"Carla!"

Terence stopped Carla, who was about to walk back to her room. He stood up from the sofa, pulled her by her hand, and walked towards the balcony.

"Please stop ignoring me. During these two days, I have been feeling worse than a condemned man!"

Terence dragged Carla into the balcony, closed the door, and stated.

Recognizing that Terence was guilty, Carla unfurled her lips and said, "Terence, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Okay," he replied without any hesitation.

Carla looked at his bright eyes and asked the first question, "Why did you kiss me at the gate of the hospital that day?"

Terence was in deep thought for a few seconds, and grinned, turning his eyes away from Carla. "Oh, was that your first kiss? Why are you asking me this now?"
