Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 30

It soon came to Sean's birthday.

Suddenly, Carla was a little regretful because she wasn't sure whether it was right or not to indulge Terence with the arrangements of Sean's birthday party, for it was much too luxurious.

'Did he promise to rent a simple comfortable place with a reasonable price?' she began to doubt herself.

But looking around, she felt as if she was in a park. So, did he actually rent the whole park to hold the party?

It seemed like the ground had been covered with a green carpet, with flowers embellished. The orderly plants were trimmed into cartoon patterns with different forms, which were Sean's favorite—the supermen.

"Are you satisfied?"

Walking behind her, Terence asked Carla. The park wasn't too big, but it was filled with childishness and playfulness. It seemed fun, so he was contented.

Carla turned around in silence and stared at him, implying that she wasn't pleased.

"Didn't we agree to keep it low-key? I thought you'd just book a booth in a restaurant, and then make some simple decorations. But look at this place, it looks just like a wedding venue. Is this what you call 'low-key'?"

she walked forward and questioned him, frowning.

"Does it? I don't think it can be more low-key, because it doesn't even have any lush decoration. Besides, Sean and his classmates are kids who like running back and forth. This large park with fresh air would be just perfect for them. And it's not expensive,"

Terence followed her and explained.

Suddenly, Carla stopped in front of a lawn that had been trimmed deliberately. Pointing at what was in front of her, she asked the man following him, "What's this?"

Without waiting for his answer, she walked toward it, full of curiosity in her eyes.

But Terence immediately grabbed her hand when he realized that she was about to uncover his secret.

"It's for Sean. I promised to give him a surprise. So, it'll be fun to ask him to find it."

"Oh," Carla said. Terence knew what kids liked, which was unexpected. Wandering in the park, she let out a soft sigh.

That poverty would limit a person's imagination was so true. If she hadn't met Terence, she never would have thought that a birthday party could be held outdoors, let alone in a park.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong? Why did you sigh?" he worriedly asked. Standing behind her, Terence wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "I've been already very economical. The party would have been much better with more decorations, if only I wasn't afraid of upseting you..."

Carla was going to agree with him, but then she felt his touch, so she blushed. Looking around, she noticed that cleaners were near them, which made her more bashful.

"Terence, please stop. People can see us,"

she sheepishly said, trying to pry his hands from her waist.

But Terence wouldn't let her go and he held her even more tightly. His lips lingered closer to her ear, and with a cunning smile, he whispered, "I just want to hold you like this. Is there something wrong with that?

You're single and I am, too. We are seeing each other, so it's very normal to hug you. What are you so worried about?"

With a snort, Carla extended her hand back to pinch his waist, "Normal, huh? Did I say yes to being your girlfriend? Don't you think you look like such a lady-killer who frequently hugs me without my permission? Shame on you!"

"Keep scolding. Don't stop. Anyway I'm already a bad guy in your eyes. Lady-killer, playboy, whatever, there's no difference," Terence laughed, hiding his frown a little. 'How could a tiny girl like her be so strong. It really hurts.

She always thinks that she's opening the door to a dangerous enemy. Obviously, I'm the enemy, ' Terence helplessly thought to himself.

With efforts going in vain, Carla got angry. She lifted her foot and was ready to stomp his, but unfortunately, he managed to escape swiftly.

"Carla, to be honest, I don't think it's necessary for me to let my feelings spill out. I thought you know me, and you know I..."

With his eyes closed, Terence buried his head in her neck and muttered slowly. The special scent from her body was like a drug to him.

Carla was touched for a moment upon hearing this.

A wealthy young man of noble birth was willing to sleep on her sofa, cook meals for her, and take care of her little brother, and he never even complained. What was his purpose?

If the reason was to avoid danger for the first time, what about the following times after that? Yes, she somewhat understood his feelings.

"I admit I have a crush on you. And as a man, I will be responsible for what I've done. What about you? Are you brave enough to love?" Terence asked with a defiant tone, tucking her hair behind her ear and stroking it gently.

Upon hearing this, her heart started racing again. She had already lost herself in his caress, but then she got perplexed, not knowing how to reply.
