Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 300

After hanging up the phone, Terence couldn't help frowning with annoyance. He turned around to see the beautiful Carla leaning against the door looking at him.

Carla asked, "Was that from your father? What did he say that made you so angry?"

"Nothing serious. It's just some trifles,"

Terence replied. He put his arms around Carla's waist and kissed her. "My father will come here and pick me up after some time. I'll have to run some errands with him. Could you wait for me at home?"

With her arms entwined around Terence's neck, Carla smiled and replied as she moved her fingers gently around his earlobes, "All right. Even I was wondering when I would be able to get some rest. Now you have given me that chance. You go ahead."

After a moment, Edmund's car arrived at their house.

Unable to avoid Edmund's instruction, Terence got into the car, his eyebrows still stitched in a tight frown.

"Terence, I know you love Carla, but you can't devote all your time to her. A man shouldn't invest all his energy into one woman."

Edmund kept imposing his values affectionately on Terence on their way.

"I wouldn't oppose you to marry Carla, but I suggest you divert your attention from her for a while and focus on other things as well. You should live life the way you want. Look at your brother Rhys."

Rhys was a playboy. Even though he had a fiancee, he still went out to have fun with other women.

Though having too many affairs was morally wrong, a man, especially those with high positions as Rhys and Terrence, need not care too much about fidelity, otherwise, it would be considered as their weakness.

"Like what you did to my mother, right?"

Terence blurted and gave out a cold laugh. He looked away from Edmund as his eyes darkened with resentment.

Terence's reply suddenly brought forth a spell of silence that made the air a little heavy between the two of them. Edmund froze in his seat for a while and then he cleared his throat and looked out the window.

Terence's mother had been a taboo between the father and son.

Marrying Edmund was Terence's mother's biggest regret in her entire life. If she had a choice, she would never marry this man, who had ruined her happiness.

Terence had witnessed the perils his mother had to go through and therefore, Terence had sworn in his mind at an early age that he would not let his woman suffer like his mother.

He would make his future wife the happiest woman not just in JA City but the whole world. He would treasure her forever.

Edmund, of course, would not understand that. And Terence didn't have any intention to make his father see the reasons behind his stance.

The silence between the father and son continued till the time they reached the South Yard

where Adams and his family lived.

Adams was already outside his house eagerly waiting for them. His granddaughter had locked herself in the room and cried non-stop throughout the day. Adams had no other choice than to wait outside the house for Terrence to come. His anxiousness was apparent from the way he paced back and forth in the driveway.

There was a mark of relief on Adam's face as he saw Terence approaching. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Terence, I know you don't like Amanda. But she's young and has never experienced any rejection since she was a child. Please! Say something to cheer her up. A girl just needs some sweet words. Please stop her from crying,"

Adams pleaded with an anxious face.

Though Terence was unwilling, still he could not say no to Adams. Just for Adam's sake, he nodded and replied politely, "Okay, I will." Then he walked inside.

As Terence climbed the stairs, he saw Amanda's parents waiting outside the room, worried.

When they saw Terence coming up, they knocked on the door.

"Amanda? Your uncle Terence is here. Please open the door now!"

Hearing Terence's name, Amanda wiped her tears and rushed to the door.

The sound of a click indicating the door being unlocked could be heard. In an instant, it brought smiles on Amanda's parents' face. They turned towards Terrence and gave him a smile of gratitude.

Terence, however, could not return a smile to them. This was not something that he wanted to get into. Yet he had to. He furrowed his eyebrows, turned the doorknob and walked inside.

As he walked inside the room, he found Amanda sitting on the bed.

Amanda was sitting cross-legged, her arms embracing her bent knees. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying for a long time. She took a glance at Terence and then turned her eyes away from him.

Terence looked around the room which was all pink. Pink curtains, pink bed sheets, and pink hello kitties – the more he looked around, the more disgusted he felt. He couldn't help frowning.
