Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 248

Terence had a sullen look on his face. How could he pretend otherwise? Johnny was putting the moves on his woman right in front of his face.

"Afternoon? Sorry, I can't. I'm not available,"

Carla replied almost instantly. She wanted to make it very obvious that she didn't want to go out with him.

"Really? Well, where are you now? I can come by to see you," Johnny asked, determined not to give up.

Johnny was different from Noah. Noah was always gentle. And he'd never rush her or be so blunt.

But Johnny was the opposite and he could be too curt.

Terence, who sat beside her, had closed his fists into a tight ball. The veins under his skin threatened to pop out. He might be silent but he was loud with rage.

Carla wanted to take the call off the speakerphone but Terence would get even angrier. She had to keep it on.

"Johnny, I'm not in the mood to go out," Carla reasoned and followed it with a forced cough.

This man was shameless! First, he and Marcus conspired to set up Terence. And now, he wanted to pursue Carla. How despicable!

"You can't avoid me forever, Carla, I'll wait for you at Otter Bay in the afternoon. If you don't show up, you know what's gonna happen."

Johnny hung up the phone before she could reply.

"What? Johnny! What do you mean, Johnny?" Carla shouted over the phone.

"Carla! Forget about him," Terence reassured her. He took Carla into his arms and wrapped her in an embrace. He used his finger to lift her chin and said, "He's using Sean to threaten you. I'm not going to let that happen."

Sean was her only weakness, Terence knew that.

Carla opened her mouth to speak but Terence held his finger against her lips.

"You're not going to see him, Carla. I've sent my best men to look for your brother. And once he's under my men's protection, nobody can touch him. Johnny will definitely try. And it's going to end real ugly for him,"

Terence snarled. Did these people really think he was dead? How dare Johnny! How could he say something like that to Carla?

All he wanted to do right now was tear Johnny into pieces.

"Okay, I'm not gonna go. Don't be mad anymore." Carla stared into Terence's angry eyes with eyes she filled with lots of calm. She caressed his chest with her free hand. Terence closed his eyes as she listened to his breath as it calmed down.

She had no idea how Johnny got her number. But she didn't want him to have the chance to hurt both her and Terence again, even for today. She turned off her phone and put it away.

Terence finally calmed down and opened his eyes to stare at Carla's. He gave her a light kiss on the lips before he swept her off her feet and into his arms and took her upstairs.

In the room upstairs, they spent the whole afternoon in bed, determined to erase what happened earlier from their minds.

There was still some anger inside Terence, especially when it came to Johnny. He had past grudges with Johnny but this was the worst he'd ever done.

To take his wife was unforgivable.

At the same time, at another part of the city, Johnny waited for Carla at Otter Bay the whole afternoon. He endured the cold autumn wind and didn't leave until the night lights came on.

This was the first time he'd ever been stood up by a woman. And what was even worse, he still waited for her all afternoon.

Johnny burnt with rage and punched his fist in the air to release it.

He might be mad at her though, but he still wasn't going to give up. Carla said she wasn't coming. He knew that.

When he left, he decided to look for a hooker to release his anger. But he thought of what Carla would say when she found out and abandoned the idea.

Terence gave her all of his love. And he also-

Johnny still couldn't believe it. How could he? Terence was a man! He must have had the need, the same need that every man needed. How could he keep it to himself?

Johnny was shocked. It seemed Terence was good at persuading Carla.

Johnny remembered when he first had sex, he was still a teenager. And he had enjoyed it ever since. He couldn't imagine how Terence waited for so long.

Maybe he wasn't human and he was from another planet.

Even monks had desires. And Terence had his abstinence? It was just not normal.

And at the other end of the city, the lights in thousands of houses burnt bright in the dark night, except for one. Carla's house was the only house that wasn't lit.
