Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 34

But where was Terence?

Where?

Oops.

Sean facepalmed and felt chagrined. Not knowing their time of arrival, he told Terence that he would come with Carla without telling him when they would arrive.

'How could Terence figure out when we'll arrive, and when to pick us up? How stupid of me!' he began to blame himself.

"Sean, what's wrong with you? Why did you slap yourself?"

Noticing his unusual behavior, Carla stroked his unruly hair and asked, worrying about her little brother who seemed to have been caught in a daze.

'Is there something he's hiding from me?' Carla doubted him for a second.

"Eh, it's nothing. I was just a little lightheaded after getting off the train. Carla, do you know where we'd be staying tonight?" Sean tried shifting the subject immediately, for he couldn't let Carla find out about his secret for the time being.

Otherwise, with her short temper, things could get really nasty.

If she ever found out her little brother secretly contacting Terence, she would definitely turn around and go back to BH City at once.

"I've booked a hotel. We'll ride a taxi and head straight there." Carla gave him a suspicious look and then walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.

In the light of her search on the Internet, she learned that JA City was very large, much larger than BH City, and she wasn't familiar with the area at all. So, she had to stoop so low to contact her former classmate, Violet. They went to the same senior high school. However, they hadn't been in touch for quite a long time ever since graduation.

When they were still in high school, they got along very well. But when Violet's father transferred his job to JA City, their family—who were richer than Carla's—moved here and never returned to BH City.

Actually, Carla didn't really want to bother Violet because of her pride, but she would be bringing along her ten-year-old little brother with her this time.

Therefore, just to be on the safer side, Carla had to ask for help from Violet who was a friend, at least.

"Hello, is this Violet? This is Carla speaking I've arrived in JA City, but it's too late now, so I'll be staying in a hotel nearby. I'll just come and visit you tomorrow. How's that?"

Speaking on the phone, Carla asked Sean to get in the taxi. She then followed him soon after.

"Have you arrived yet, Carla? Great. We'll be having a class reunion tonight, and all of our classmates who are living in JA City will join in. I thought you wouldn't catch up with us. I'm glad you're here now. Please make sure to come to the party,"

Violet said excitedly on the phone.

"... What? A class reunion? I don't think I can join you guys because my little brother is with me. Besides, we're still tired after traveling for a whole day," Carla declined, sitting in the taxi.

These classmates who were in JA City now were far more successful than she was. Although they used to get along very well, they hadn't seen each other for years, so Carla opted not to go to the party only to embarrass herself.

"Come on, Carla. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to JA City, and it just so happens that we also have a class reunion tonight. This is a good chance for all of us to catch up! You'll regret it if you don't come.

As for your little brother, that would be a piece of cake. You can take him with you. We have made reservation in the Rose Club, and that is one of the most luxurious clubs in JA City. It has every conceivable amenity for guests to have fun and have a break. So, if your little brother is tired, he could just take a break in the next room without disturbing us," said Violet.

Listening to Violet, Carla then glanced at Sean sitting next to her. She remained silent and was hesitating a little.

"Okay, honey. I'll invite you to our group chat, and we'll discuss when to meet there later. Remember to check the time, and you have to come. I'm looking forward to seeing you,"

Violet said without waiting for Carla's response, and then she quickly hung up.

"Wait, Violet, Violet?" Carla shouted, but all she heard was the toot sound from the phone.

She hadn't made a decision yet.

"Carla, let's come to the party. I want to see what it looks like," Sean raised his hand and showed his approval since he became energetic when he heard they could come to a party.

He looked a bit depressed on the train, but after hearing the good news, he was excited again.

That was why they were called kids, because they could become vigorous in no time once they knew they could go out to play.

Carla obviously wanted to refuse, but she couldn't speak her mind after seeing Sean's eyes get filled with so much enthusiasm.

Maybe it was fine to take Sean there and have a look. They could always leave if they didn't like the party.

The night in JA City was extraordinarily bustling.

The weather there was like spring all the year round. And people in the street always came and went in an endless flow. The shops in the area had a dazzling array of beautiful exhibits, and branded stores stayed open late so they could attract customers from all over the world.

Through the windows of the taxi, Carla saw a scene of so much feasting and revelry, which made her realize why a lot of people yearned for and did their best to settle down in this city.
