Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 247

The sadness on Carla's face was swept away immediately as soon as she got into the car.

Carla took Nicholas' arm with a big smile and said, "Wow, Grandpa. Your acting skill is excellent! Are you sure that you were a soldier and not an actor in the past?"

"Of course. Don't look down on me. I have experienced a lot during my years of doing business with other people as the man in charge of the AJ Group so acting is easy for me," Nicholas said while also smiling.

The car quickly drove away from the East Yard.

Terence arranged for Carla to not go back to their current residence. He wanted her to go to the Seaview Villa instead.

Everything went as they expected. Shortly after she said her goodbyes to Nicholas, Carla's car was blocked while she was on her way back to the Seaview Villa.

Carla got out of the car as soon as it was stopped.

As soon as she got out of the car, she was immediately surrounded by a dozen men.

Suddenly, another car stopped in front of Carla. Marcus got out of the car and walked immediately towards her.

"Is it true that you are my brother's girlfriend?"

Marcus gave Carla a thorough inspection. He did not dare say anything to her when they were at the An's Manor because he was afraid to say too much in front of Edmund and Nicholas.

"Marcus, what exactly do you mean by that? We just met at the manor a few minutes ago,"

Carla answered calmly while looking at Marcus.

Marcus circled around Carla. He suddenly stopped in front of her and grabbed her chin with one hand then said, "I didn't expect that my brother's type would be someone like this. Your are kind of pretty, though. However, with that bad temper and rude manner, I have to say Terence indeed has no taste for women.

My brother is already dead. Why are you still clinging to a dead person? Don't be foolish and just accept the fact that he will never return to you. Why don't you just become my woman instead? I can guarantee that I could give you a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of your life,"

Marcus said while boldly reaching out to pinch Carla's buttocks. Carla immediately avoided him then said with a cold smile, "Marcus, why are you here? Why did you follow me? Are you feeling guilty?

You should know that I am being protected by Grandpa Nicholas. Aren't you afraid of making him angry by being such a jerk to me?"

Marcus laughed. He raised his chin and said proudly, "I'm not afraid of the old man. Your boyfriend is already dead. I'm the only reasonable heir to the An's fortune. I'm not afraid of anyone!"

"Marcus, are you finally admitting that you have something to do with Terence's death?" Carla snapped at him in a cold voice.

Marcus suddenly stopped laughing when he heard Carla's words. "Woman, I advise that you use the brain in that pretty little head of yours. Don't risk yourself for a dead person. Or else..." he warned.

Before Marcus could even finish his words, another car emerged from the villa. Four bodyguards got out of the car and walked towards Carla.

"Miss Carla, Mr. Nicholas arranged for us to escort you back,"

the head bodyguard said politely as soon as he reached Carla.

"Marcus, how about we talk about this someplace else?" Carla deliberately raised her voice to ask Marcus.

Marcus coughed softly and changed his tone immediately. After all, he knew that no matter how arrogant he was, he could never ignore his grandfather's orders.

"Carla, I hope that you could get over your sadness soon. I'm sorry that I was unable to help you. Now that Grandpa has arranged for them to escort you, you won't need my assistance anymore so I'll just head back first. I really do hope that we uncover the truth soon!"

Marcus said. He waved to his subordinates and indicated that it was time for them to leave. When all of his people left, he got into his car and drove away.

Carla returned to her car as soon as Marcus was gone.

She instructed the driver to stop at the Seaview Villa first before heading to where she and Terence now lived, in case Marcus's men were still secretly following her.

Sean was still at school but she promised him a few days ago that she would visit him to spend some time with him.

Since Sean knew Terence's accident, he had always been worried about Terence's safety. She wanted to tell him some news about Terence this time so that he could feel a little bit relieved.

Actually, Carla felt sorry for Sean because he was deeply affected when he heard about Terence's accident. However, Terence needed her help and company these days so she decided to lie to Sean for a little longer.

She strongly believed that the unhappy situation that they have now would soon come to an end. They just need to be a little more patient.
