Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 218

The man who literally raised him up was old. The man who taught him everything he knew had grown old before he was aware of it. Terence's eyes were moist with tears.

"Oh cut it. Cut the tears! I am not dead! Save that for my funeral. For God's sake. Terence, a man should never shed tears. I've told you that for at least a hundred times. How come you always forget what I taught you. You little bastard! Come here, come to grandpa!" suddenly Nicholas laughed. "And here you are! Little girl, come to grandpa as well! What's your name again? Oh yes, how come I forget your name! Carla it is, am I right?"

Nicholas waved to Carla because she was still standing at the corner, like a poor little frightened animal.

Carla smiled back. The way Nicholas talked to Terence reminded her of her own grandfather though he passed away when she was little.

"Grandpa. Yes, I am Carla. You have a great memory." Carla also smiled back and walked towards them. She didn't feel nervous anymore because Nicholas was just Terence's kindly grandfather this moment, not the fierce Nicholas An.

Nicholas grabbed Carla's hand and put it in Terence's.

"Look at the two of you. You remind me of when I first met your grandmother. Those were the good old days. What a great match. Now I am finally happy. Good girl. When is the wedding?"

Nicholas added, "I am getting old. I could die anytime. But I am still waiting for my great grandson to be born. Do you understand? Carla, the An family is counting on you. I am counting on you. You are not going to let grandpa down, are you?" smiled Nicholas.

Carla couldn't help but blush again.

Nicholas was expecting his great grandson. But they weren't even married yet. That was a bit too hurry, was it not? But how could she say no to such a kindly old man.

While Carla was still thinking, Terence answered proudly, "Of course we will get married in no time. We can even get married now. I want the wedding more than anyone, even you, grandpa." Terence grabbed grandpa Nicholas' hand in his, freeing Carla from the firm grasp. His eyes fell on Carla and her belly, as if teasing her.

"But I want to give Carla her dream wedding. The best wedding in the world. So I need time to prepare for it. We only get one wedding in our life so I don't want to hurry. How about after one year? We will get married in one year. And you will have your great grandson in two years. How does that sound, grandpa?"

Terence gave Carla a subtle hint by gently squeezing Carla's fingertip. Carla understood immediately and added, "Yes, the dream wedding! We surely want a dream wedding. And we will get married in one year. I also promise you that, Grandpa. We won't let you down." But Nicholas didn't say a thing in response to that. Terence touched Carla again, she raised her head and looked at him confusedly.

Terence smirked and subtly pointed a finger at her belly. Suddenly Carla understood, yes, the great grandchildren!

"Yes! And there are the great grandchildren. We are going to have eight, no, ten kids. Five girls and five boys if possible. One for each year. So Grandpa, you have to take good care of your health for them!" Carla talked like she was firing a machine gun.

Nicholas was amused by her as well. Carla was not like the other girls. No wonder Terence would love her. She was pure, sincere and faithful. Though she was a country girl with a lot of negative traits, she was still good for his grandson.
