Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 312

Carla had just finished eating. She put down her chopsticks, then wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue. She turned to Terence who was sitting beside her and hesitated before saying, "Terence, there's something I'd like to talk to you about..."

After calling Sophie to come in and clear away the dishes, Terence sat down and looked at Carla. He could tell that she was nervous so he patiently waited for her to speak. But Carla hesitated for a long time. She didn't know how to tell Terence or where to start.

"Have you decided what to do?"

Carla was stunned when she heard Terence's question. She slowly looked up and turned to him.

"Y-you knew?" she asked.

Terence frowned and let out a sneer. To contain his emotions, he clenched his fists firmly. Ignoring her question, he asked instead, "Carla, do you know what it means to be engaged to Noah?"

Carla bit her lip and took a breath before saying, "Terence, please let me explain. My engagement with Noah is temporary. You know that you're the only one that I love.

Allen had just passed away so the Hua family is in chaos. And since I'm now part of the family, I should share at least some of the burden as any sensible family member would do."

She paused for a while, trying to perceive Terence's reaction. Then, she continued, "Noah has promised me that he will cancel the engagement as soon as everything in the family's state of affairs is in control."

The moment Carla's voice had faded away, Terence earnestly glared at her and stated in a low, husky voice, "Carla, do you think it's that simple?

Do you think Noah will let you go so easily once you get engaged to him? If you really believe that, then you are being too naive."

If one looked closer, it was clear in her bright eyes that she felt a little confused. Carla shook her head before responding, "I didn't think about that. I only thought that it's just an engagement, not a wedding. He can't force me to push through with the wedding if I don't want to."

Terence got up and sat beside Carla. He grabbed her hand slowly. Then, he said, "Carla, do you really know him that well? You don't know what he's capable of. He already found a way to force you into this engagement. Do you think that he wouldn't find a way to coerce you in getting married to him?

Have you forgotten that you belong to me? How could you do this to me? How could you just let me see you marry another man? It's really cruel of you to put me in this position! How could you make me suffer from these thoughts and feelings of losing you?"

Terence tried really hard to remain calm but the more he spoke, the more his emotions ran wild. Unconsciously, he had grabbed Carla's hand so tightly that she felt like her arm would fall off any minute.

As she stared at Terence whose emotions were out of control, Carla pulled away from his grip. She immediately hugged him on the waist and exclaimed, "Terence, I won't marry him. I won't! Please, believe me, okay?"

With his eyebrows deeply furrowed, Terence removed her hands and turned her around so he could look at her directly.
