Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 32

As the morning sun of the next day began to shine lazily, Carla was still sleeping, as she had burned the midnight oil last night. The noise of someone thudding the door and the doorbell woke her up abruptly.

"Who's there?"

After a rather unusual yawn, Carla wore her slippers and proceeded to open the door. The moment she stepped out of her bedroom, she saw Terence getting up from the sofa and answering the door.

"Terence? Is that really you? I've finally found you!"

A cute girl who seemed fashionable dressed in a purple dress appeared in front of the door. The girl hugged Terence tightly, as if she wanted to be embedded inside his body. Carla was surprised.

Terence didn't push her away immediately. Instead, he tapped her shoulder slightly and asked, "Why are you here, Megan?"

"Why? You tell me why. You are so cold-hearted. Don't you realize that I've been worried about you ever since you disappeared? Had I not begged before Grandpa to tell me where you were, I still wouldn't have seen you by now,"

Megan blamed Terence, with teardrops rolling down her cheeks, her hands encircling his waist, delicate and charming all the while.

"Okay, please stop crying. See, I'm right here, in front of you," Terence wiped her tears, and comforted her in a soft voice.

"Terence, you've no idea what I've been through during the days when you were not beside me. l was afraid that something terrible had happened to you. My eyes went dry after having rendered far too many teardrops for you. Furthermore, I asked my father to use his connections to look for you, but all the efforts went in vain...

I was worried to my very life!"

The longer she spoke, the more her voice began to crack. She ended up sobbing miserably. Megan buried her face in his chest, and continued crying.

Standing behind them, Carla coughed a little as if she were desperate for attention.

"Ahem, don't just stand there. Come in and have a seat!" she said.

Hearing her voice, Terence loosened his grip and let Megan go. Turning to Carla, he said, "Carla, have you woken up already? Let me introduce my friend, Megan Luo who grew up with me in the same neighborhood."

Dissatisfied with Terence's introduction when she heard his words, Megan poked him impatiently and asked, "Terence, do you plan to introduce me as your childhood playmate forever? The last time your father came to my house, he had promised that we would get married as soon as you return. Hence, when you introduce me, you should address me as your fiancée."

"What nonsense! Megan, this is..."

Before Terence could finish, Megan cruised towards Carla and held her hands zealously. She interrupted Terence and said, "It's unnecessary for you to introduce. I know her. She is Carla and grandpa told me that she was the one who saved you." Megan stared at Carla with a smile, holding her hands and said happily, "Carla, thank you for saving Terence. In order to depict my gratitude, I'm willing to give you anything you can name. Race, come in!"

With a polite smile on her face, Carla stiffened her facial expressions for a moment and then she noticed Race coming in.

Race extended greetings to Terence initially, "Mr. Terence."

Then he walked towards Megan.

Taking a pile of files from Race, Megan handed them over to Carla.

"Carla, grandpa asked me to offer you these. We bought all shops located in the center of the downtown of BH City, and they will belong to you as long as you sign your name on the house property certificate.

Furthermore, there is a cheque on which you can write any number that suits your liking. The money will be deposited in your account right away."

Terence became increasingly furious. His grandfather had promised not to interfere in his relationship with Carla. He seemed to have broken his word since he asked Megan to rush in here and create trouble.

Or, was it his father who was pulling the strings behind the curtain?

"Oh," Carla said, and took the ownership certificate for a look. She said admiringly, "Wow, it really does contain a whole street of shops in downtown in these papers. What a cost-efficient deal! The rent of even a single shop will be thousands of dollars each year. Am I right? The Ans are so generous!

Do I still get a cheque on top of all this? Amazing! Terence, could you please tell me how much can I ask? Will it be a little embarrassing if I ask too much?"

Megan chipped in ahead of Terence, "Don't be embarrassed. Since you saved Terence, you deserve these which are a form of payback from our family."

Terence hid his emotions with great difficulty and smiled graciously, keeping an eye on the property certificate.

"Carla, just take it."

'You'll be a family member sooner or later, so it belongs to us anyways, ' Terence added in his mind.

"Yes, Carla, take it. You can contact us at any time when you are in need of help. Here, this is my card. When you're in any trouble, just give me a call," Megan chimed in with Terence.
