Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 225

"What do you mean? What happened to Terence? Isn't he supposed to be in NF taking care of business at this time?"

Little did Carla know that Edmund and Terence actually rarely got in touch with each other—that was if they get in touch at all—due to the fact that the two of them weren't really that close. So it didn't come as a surprise that right now, he wasn't aware of Terence's situation.

"Uncle, I haven't been able to get a hold of Terence since yesterday in the afternoon. It's just that I'm getting so worried about him! He hasn't been answering any of my calls. I was afraid that something bad might've happened to him!"

Upon seeing the anxiety written all over her face, he brought out his phone and tried calling Terence himself. Of course, as Carla had was expecting, there wasn't anyone picking it up. So, Edmund proceeded to dial another number.

This time, it didn't take too long before someone finally answered.

"Marcus, do you have Terence there with you? Is he busy? What is he doing right now? Why isn't he answering his phone?" Apparently, Edmund was checking up on Terence through his eldest son Marcus.

Carla then heaved a heavy sigh, getting so worked up.

Knowing Edmund, Carla thought that he would simply trust his son's words without question. But was he aware of Terence and Marcus' stained relationship and that they had never really seen eye to eye?

Would Marcus really tell him what was really happening? Could they take his word for it?

"Father, there's no need for you to be so worried. Terence, along with his men went on a field visit for some of our upcoming projects. He's currently in a remote area right now, and that place is quite barren, so it might not have enough resources to provide electrical power. I have been through that area before myself, and it wasn't really that unusual for us to not have any contact with anyone for about three to five days."

The tone of Marcus' voice seemed so calm and composed.

Bobbing his head along, Edmund replied, "All right then. I got that. In any case, with NF being your territory, make sure to look after Terence. After all, he is your brother. Okay?"

"Don't worry, I will! You're right. At the end of the day, we're still brothers. You can count on me, father," Marcus reassured him.

As soon as he hung up, Edmund shifted his gaze over to Carla and told her, "Terence is doing fine. It's just that he had to go on a field visit, and this time, it's some place where he wouldn't have easy access to electricity most of the time. That means he might lose contact with you for about three to five days, but that's just how it normally is."

"But... But I still find it a little weird! Yesterday, his phone was still ringing, but no one was picking it up..."

Carla insisted, still feeling so perturbed.

Edmund simply waved his hand and brushed her off to stop her in her tracks. He casually turned around and headed upstairs straight away, saying, "Haven't I made it clear already? Terence is doing just fine. Marcus is his brother, so for what reason would he ever lie to me about something like that?

I'm telling you, Terence is okay. He might call you back after two days. For now, you should just go back home!"
