Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 250

Johnny sent so many people to look for Carla but he still failed. He was wondering whether or not she could come back safely on her own.

Carla paused and turned slightly to look at the emerald lake then answered, "Grandpa Nicholas sent his men to find me."

She hid the fact that Terence was the one who found her to protect him.

Terence was Nicholas's favorite grandchild and Carla was Terence's girlfriend. It was only natural for Nicholas to protect her after Terence's death. The whole thing totally made sense to everyone.

Carla glanced at the river bank and saw two boats sailing after them.

Terence arranged some bodyguards and they were waiting on both the bank and the boats to protect her anytime if she needed them.

Johnny bought what Carla said, that Nicholas was the one who sent people to save her. It was no wonder that she came back that quickly.

However, he was a little unhappy that she was still close to the people in the An Family. He frowned and asked her, "Are you still constantly in touch with the An Family?"

"Yes. Grandpa Nicholas was hoping that Terence would marry me. He told me that I am like one of his grandchildren already. He promised me that he would always protect me. Grandpa Nicholas also said that even though Terence already passed away, he would still take care of me like I am his own grandchild."

She answered while she glanced at Johnny. Johnny then curled his lips and said, "I don't think it's the right thing to do. Terence isn't here anymore. You have no right to keep on being involved with that family. Unless you don't want to get married for the rest of your life just to show your loyalty to Terence.

Carla, I love you. Please be with me. I'll do everything to protect you for the rest of my life."

Johnny confessed his love to Carla. He moved closer to her and suddenly took her hand.

However, Carla immediately shook him off as if it was an insect that touched her hand. She refused him and said, "No way, Johnny. You think that after all the things that you've done to me that there would still be a chance that I would love you? You should just forget about it because it's never going to happen!"

Seeing that she hated him so much, Johnny got really upset. His lips trembled lightly while he defended himself, "I am not the one who killed Terence! I'm not the one that you should hate."

However, he only met a snort of suspicion and disdain from Carla. Johnny was lucky that the boat they were on didn't have oars. Otherwise, she would have smacked him with it using all her might to vent her anger.

"Johnny, do you know how to swim?"

Carla asked him suddenly.

Johnny was puzzled at her question but he still answered her honestly, "Yes, I can. Why do you ask?"

There was suddenly a sharp turn ahead and a wave caused the boat to veer to the side. The wave surged at them at about one meter high and dashed right at Carla. She reflexively raised her hands in front of her as a shield.

At that moment, Johnny grabbed her into his chest and turned his back to the wave to protect her.

However, they met the moving rapids just after they passed a sharp turn. Suddenly, someone gave Johnny a hard push and it made him fall into the river in a big splash.

Fortunately, Johnny was wearing a life jacket. He nimbly grabbed a large boulder by the side of the river bank to stop himself from being swept away by the rapids. Then he looked up only to find that Carla was being taken away by the boat.

"Johnny, just hang in there. You should swim faster. I'll meet you back in the dock. Goodbye." Carla just waved her hands at him and left him in a fit of mischievous laughter. She was just glad that she finally got rid of him.

Carla knew that Johnny was in love with her. If she met him earlier before she even met Terence, she might have been touched by everything he had done for her and she would have eventually loved him back.

However, she met Terence first.

She couldn't ever accept anyone after being with Terence. He was the best thing that ever happened to her in her whole life.

Carla would never replace Terence with Johnny. Plus, Johnny was actually one of the ringleaders that 'killed' Terence. He was not a nice guy at all.

He wanted to kill her lover just to be with her. It was ridiculous. She would never let that happen.

She decided to take a little revenge on him by throwing him into the water. It was not much but it helped her feel a little bit better.

Johnny was still several kilometers away from the dock. It was pretty clear that he couldn't swim all the way back to the dock. Some of his bodyguards quickly decided to jump into the lake to rescue him.

As soon as Carla arrived at the dock, she took Sean's hand and steered him to their car. She wanted nothing more than to go home and spend some much needed quality time with him.

However, just before they got into their car, Johnny caught up with them. Carla was a little surprised to see that he was so quick on his feet that he even managed to change into dry clothes. Johnny stopped them, "Carla, please wait a minute. I made a reservation in a restaurant for us. Let's have dinner then I'll drive you home after." His hair was still wet but he still looked handsome and dashing.

Sean slightly pulled Carla's hand and asked in a low voice, "Carla, is he courting you?"
