Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 233

But of course, Carla would never find out about his real intention.

"Thank you. I really appreciate that." A cunning smile slipped into her lips. "Now that you've confessed, what do you say we make a deal just between the two of us?" "If," she stopped in her tracks for a second before continuing, "Even after going through so much, I still end up empty-handed, unable to find Terence, and I were to come back safe and sound to JA City, then I'll wholeheartedly agree to becoming your girlfriend.

But before that, I would like for you to promise me that you'll take me to the location where Terence could have gone missing."

"Are you being serious right now? Are you sure about that?" Johnny's eyes dilated while they were glued to Carla.

"Yes. You can take my word for it." Carla bobbed her head along with so much certainty.

The idea wasn't really a spur of the moment type. Of his own volition, Johnny had just professed his love for her. The look he had on his face seemed so genuine, giving her a reason to think that they might just be able to work something out.

Johnny paused for a while and had his eyes glued to her face. After coming to his senses, he shook his head. "No, there's no way you can make me take you there. Do you think I can just go ahead and let you face those ferocious beasts, wretched ambushers and trappers, not to mention those gun-wielding hunters? I can't risk you getting killed in that god-forsaken place." Carla's proposal had truly been so enticing, but the risk was just much too great that he couldn't bear to take it.

Twirling her fingers right through her blonde hair, Carla suddenly beamed him a smile.

Resting one hand over his shoulder, she desperately tried to convince him. "Johnny, let me tell you something. Once I've made up my mind on being someone's girlfriend, I'll never turn my back on him and I'll remain totally devoted up until my dying breath. Meaning to say, I won't ever cheat on Terence if he is still alive out there somewhere. But, on the off-chance that even after I've given it my best to look for him but still end up finding nothing, I just might probably drop the thought of finding him for good and move on with my life.

And if one of these days, I eventually become your actual girlfriend, you can rest assured that I'll be faithful to you and that I'll never ever have any second thoughts."

With his eyebrows deeply furrowed, he seriously considered the possibility. "But... I still sincerely don't want you to go out there and put your life in harm's way..."

Heaving out a heavy sigh, Carla tittered at his stubbornness. Johnny was still dead set on standing in her way. She was ruffling her hair under so much distress. All she wanted to do was to coax him into lending her a helping hand. That being said, she wasn't really expecting for him to actually be concerned about her well-being. It managed to touch her, even if just a little.

However, knowing that Johnny had been colluding with Marcus for so long was able to freeze up her heart up again in the blink of an eye.

"Johnny, so would you be willing to help me or not?"

Carla's patience was already wearing thin.

Since he still wasn't giving her a favorable answer, she hiked up her trouser legs, brought out a dagger she had hidden in her boots, proceeding to press it against her chest. "A lot of people have been insisting that Terence was already gone, but I just can't believe it without laying my eyes on his body. I believe that would be way better that staying at home and weeping in JA City."

Pursing his lips, Johnny gave the dagger a good hard look but he didn't say anything. He thought that she wouldn't have in her to take her own life. A faint, sorrowful smile crept up onto her face. "So, I guess you still aren't going to help me in the end," Carla mumbled. "It seems to me, you've already made up your mind. Then, I might as well just end it all right here right now."
