Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 166

But Carla still didn't agree though and tried persuading him once more, "Sean, the boys look much more handsome whenever they're playing the piano. It's a sure-fire way of grabbing a girl's attention. As for basketball, I honestly think you're already playing it quite well. Are you really sure you don't want to learn something different such as the piano?"

Carla was acting just like any other typical parent would. Of course, they would support their children and let them learn what they liked. Even though Sean was just her brother, there was still a part of her that wished for him to learn something she was passionate about. Ever since she was a little girl, she had always been amused by watching the boys play the piano. There was just something about it that seemed to have charmed her.

Be that as it may, Sean couldn't help rolling his eyes at his sister. "Carla, I'm just ten years old. Don't you think it's still a bit too soon for me to think about stuff like how to dazzle the girls? Apart from that, if you're really that fond of the piano, why don't you just have your own child learn how to play it? You're bound to have one eventually, right?

And aren't you forgetting that Terence is an extremely good piano player? That should be enough for you."

The minute he was done spouting that nonsense (to Carla's point-of-view anyway), Carla was evidently raging with anger.

'This and that are two different things! I just sincerely believe it would be much more awesome to learn the piano instead of some sport. Am I wrong to think that?' Carla said to herself.

As anyone might have expected, Terence was on Sean's side on this one. With tears in his eyes as he desperately tried holding back his chuckle, his face broke into a smile and said to Carla, "Carla, Sean is right. Don't you think so, too? It wouldn't be right to force him to do something he doesn't like. If you truly like the piano that much, then we can just ask our child to learn how to play in the future."

Glancing over to Sean, he reassured him, "Don't you worry. Since you like playing basketball a lot, I'm going to hire a tutor for you right after we're done having dinner."

Beaming with so much pleasure and satisfaction, Sean hunched up and gave Terence a high-five. "Apparently, women won't ever be able to get how we feel," Sean concluded.

Not taking kindly to what Sean had just said, Carla raised her hand a little bit and playfully slapped the side of his head.

"You're still just a ten-year-old boy! You're not even a teenager yet, for goodness' sake! Stop spouting that nonsense and just finish eating your meal."

Sean, feeling a bit annoyed, whined to Terence, "Well, I'm not a little kid anymore either, yet there ain't no stopping my sister from hitting me on the head."

With a smile on his face, Terence assisted Sean and carefully rubbed the side of his head to comfort him, "Sean, keep in mind that she's a girl. We should act like gentlemen and just get over it. For now, why don't you just go ahead and eat your fill? When we're done having dinner, the two of us can go play basketball together."

"Really? That would be great! I would love that!" After hearing Terence tell him that he'd be playing basketball with him after dinner, Sean behaved himself and leaned toward his plate and ate to his heart's content without saying a single word.

As she was observing Sean, Carla realized that he was becoming more and more capricious even though they had only been staying at Terence's villa for just several days. This caused her to seriously think that it would be a good idea to bring him back to BH City in order to have him taste the harsh truths of life again.

Later that evening, she changed into some athletic wear and warmed herself up to go for a run.

As the cold breeze whistled against her, she could make out two silhouettes playing basketball on the field under the moonlit night, that of an adult and of a child. Then Carla started running on the red track.

Since she rarely ever did any outdoor activities, the only thing Carla could manage was a sprint. She couldn't run for long periods of time though. She then suddenly thought about the robbery back in BH City. If only she had run just a little bit faster and pushed herself to her limits the last time, she could've probably caught the thief who snatched her bag.

Terence was on the defense as Sean handled the ball for his shooting practice. Shifting his gaze over to Carla, he noticed that she was already running out of breath after just briefly running around the track.

"Sean, you wait here for a while and just work on your dribbling. I'll just head over to your sister to check up on her for a second," Terence advised Sean, looking a little concerned.
