Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 38

As Ruth screamed, the bottles smashed on the ground, leaving glass scattered all around.

The smell of alcohol, mixed with Ruth's urine gave off a foul stench.

It was such a disgusting scene to see. If anyone saw Ruth in that state, they would certainly lose interest in her, including Rhys.

"Sean, let's go!"

Carla reached out and grabbed Sean's shoulder then walked outside.

She didn't even glance at Terence. As soon as they left the building, the world was finally quite again.

Carla and Sean went straight to the roadside, ready to grab a taxi to take them both back to their hotel. However, Terence caught up with them and stood in front of her.

"Carla, I just helped you! Why are you ignoring me? I don't expect you to thank me. But the least you could do is saying goodbye to me before you're leaving. Don't you think?" Terence questioned her angrily when he saw that Carla was so anxious to get away from him. He stared at Carla sullenly.

"Thank you!"

Carla said curtly as she stopped in her tracks. She had a serious expression on her face.

Terence chuckled when he saw her awkward behavior. He pulled her into his arms and commanded to his man, "Nathan, take Sean to your car." Then he turned to Sean and smiled. "Sean, I have something to discuss with your sister. Could you give us a moment alone, please?"

Sean nodded. He glanced at the cool, tall man and followed him to his car.

Terence led Carla to a Benz limousine parked at the front.

"Carla, you are finally here!"

Once they got into the limousine, Terence couldn't keep his hands off of her. He pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly to him and then he held her face in his hands and kissed her gently on the forehead, eyes, on the tip of her nose and the lips.

"Terence, please don't be mistaken," Carla said calmly. She knew that it was impossible for her to stop him now, so she waited until he finished kissing her.

"Be mistaken? About what?" he asked, confused. Terence loosened his arms a bit so he could see her better, but they still remained around her waist. He was ready to pull her closer to him at any time.

"I only came to JA city because of Sean. It's summer vacation and he insisted that I bring him here to visit. I didn't want to come, but he insisted," Carla explained. She didn't want Terence to get the wrong idea of her intentions.

After all, she had said that to him before—

"Oh? I thought you had finally come around and decided to ride on my coattails for a change. So you're reminding me that I have understood you wrongly. Is that right?" Terence stared at her seductively and held her waist tighter.

"Terence, I'm not kidding. If you want to be my friend, that's fine. But if you want anything beyond that, it's impossible," Carla sighed. Somehow their relationship had changed completely without her noticing.

She couldn't treat him like she used to anymore. In the past, she bossed him about and made him do anything she wanted to.

But back then, he had been living under her roof and was dependent on her. However, he turned out to be the youngest master and the future heir of the prominent An family. How was it possible for her to treat him the same way after knowing that?

"Friend? Do you really think, there is ever only pure friendship between a man and a woman?" Terence spat out in fury. He hugged her waist with one arm and caressed her hair with the other hand.

"Of course there is. As long as we keep a distance from one another! Moreover, aren't you and Megan old friends from many years back?" Carla exclaimed. That was how he introduced Megan to her that day.
