Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 28

"Hey, Sean, it's getting dark. Let's go home!"

Carla said smiling at her little brother as their eyes met.

Terence stopped playing basketball when he saw Carla. He picked up the water bottle from the ground and took a swig. He then picked up his T-shirt from the basketball stand and walked towards her.

When Carla saw that both Terence and Sean was looking at her, she felt as if she became the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone's eyes were all on her!

"Are you finished with your work already?"

Terence said when he reached her.

"Yeah. My god! You two superstars, look at what you've done. Are you guys really playing basketball? Or are you holding a concert? You two made quite a stir in the area! Sean, how many times have I told you? You should always keep a low profile to avoid trouble. Please tell me you do understand that,"

said Carla as she put her hand over Sean's shoulder and turned him around. They decided to go home. There were fans all over the area and they all stepped aside immediately when they passed.

Terence smiled and caught up with them. He positioned his hand over Carla's shoulder and said to her knowingly, "Well, how did it feel to be in the limelight?

It must have been a little embarrassing at first, but I am betting that it made you a little bit giddy with happiness."

Carla looked back at their fans. Some of them stared at her enviously, while others gossiped. There was no denying that for the first time in her life, she attracted so much attention.

"Damn you! Are you taking me for a fool? There were so many people around. You surely knew that you caused quite a stir because you enjoyed exposing yourself in public so much. I've seen through your trick. You did that on purpose. I bet you really enjoyed being adored and ogled by those girls, didn't you?"

Carla said it so straightforwardly that it embarrassed him.

Terence didn't want to admit defeat. He lifted his eyebrows and gave her a playful punch on the shoulder. "Well, I saw that you pushed your way through the crowd just to reach us. I bet it took you so much effort. It seemed as if you were so eager to see me, huh? You are one of my adoring fans, aren't you?"

Carla's face went pale. 'How can he possibly know that? Wasn't he too busy playing basketball? I can't believe he noticed that!' she thought.

"Come on! Are you comparing me to them? I'm not one of your crazy fans. I'm a rational and mature woman. Unlike them, I will never be obsessed with you. There are a lot of handsome men in this world. Who do you think you are?"

Her ears burned with shame. Terence smiled again and whispered in Carla's ear, "I got it. You mean you are not my 'crazy' fan. You are my 'rational and mature' fan. Am I right? Don't be shy and just admit it."

Carla became embarrassed when he came closer to her. She poked his waist with her elbow and ran away with Sean immediately.

Terence rubbed his waist because her jab was a bit painful. He sighed and smiled, his eyes following the fleeing girl and her brother.

'So this is how it's going to be? You always bully me physically when you lose the war of words.

This is exactly your style!' Terence thought.

The three arrived home.

Carla was about to prepare their dinner when she surprisingly saw that the table was already set. Their meal had been already made. The fragrance filled the kitchen and Carla couldn't wait to eat immediately. It was obviously one of Terence's surprises.

'It's so strange.

He was clearly born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He doesn't need to cook for himself, but why is he so damn good at cooking?

This is so strange!

Are his ancestors all good cooks? Was he born in a wealthy family that is in the culinary industry?' Carla thought perplexed.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? The chicken soup is ready. Come on! Hand me a bowl," said Terence.

Terence went into the kitchen after he took a shower. He lifted the lid and checked the soup. He then removed it from the stove when it was done.

"Chicken soup?" Carla asked.

Carla took out the bowl from the sideboard and took a look at the soup in the pot. The fragrance kept tempting her.

"Well, I cooked it for you. You should eat more. It's good for your health," Terence said as he took the bowl from Carla's hands. He took the chicken out first, and then poured the soup into the bowl.
