Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 397

There was no doubt that the person was Terence.

Andrea looked at Carla, who seemed rather anxious. She let out a long sigh. How did things get to this point? Andrea said in a helpless tone, "Callie, I'll go and talk to Terence. I'm going to tell him that you will stay here at the moment and will go back with him days later. That will leave you some breathing room. Also, you can both calm down. Is that okay?"

Carla nodded absentmindedly. Her mind, at that time, wasn't on the words her mom said. For lack of a better solution, she agreed to her mom's suggestion.

She didn't think she would ever want to see Terence again. And she definitely did not want to see him right at that moment.

If she went back with him now, then he would certainly take her and get the marriage certificate. He would pretend like nothing was wrong and he would force her to marry him. She would have been happy with that before. However, she wasn't in the mood to even think about marriage with Terence. Her mind was a mess. So many different thoughts were going through her head and she was happy about Andrea's temporary solution.

Andrea left to speak to Terence. After a while, she came back.

It was clear that the conversation she had with Terence wasn't pleasant. She walked over to Carla and said in a gentle voice, "Callie, I talked to him. But he insisted on seeing you. It took quite a while for me to persuade him to leave you here. I told him that he could come and see you after you have recovered and are feeling much better."

Hearing her mother's words, Carla heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as she didn't have to see him, everything was alright. At the moment she had no idea how to face him. She didn't know what she would say or do. Maybe after a few days, she would feel better and muster up the courage to face him.

"Callie darling, I could tell that he was really concerned about you. His voice betrayed his anxiousness. He obviously cares about you very much. And he sounded quite guilty. He admitted that it was all his fault. You have every right to blame him. As your mother, you know I will always be on your side. But I want you to keep a clear head. You should take time to calm yourself. Then you can carefully think about what you want to do. You two have been through so much and you have made it past so many hardships. It's not easy for you both to have such a close and intimate relationship. So I don't want to see you give up on him so easily. The most important thing is, whatever decision you make, I don't want you to regret it later. Think long and hard, alright?"

Andrea took a seat next to Carla and soothingly tried to calm Carla.

Carla leaned on her mom's shoulder and nodded slightly. She said in a low and weak voice, "I know, mom. I know I can't run away forever. Sooner or later, I will have to see him. I'm just so tired right now. I don't really want to think about anything. But I haven't thought of giving up on him. I just don't know how to face him so I came here to be alone for a while. I want to clear my head so I can calmly think about our future together."

"I see. That's great. I'm glad you're keeping a cool head, Callie. I was worried that you would make rash decisions and then live with regret. You know that everybody living in the world has to go through all kinds of things, most of which, we don't want to encounter at all. But we can't stop them from happening. Since we are unable to, we could only cope with them rationally and bravely. You're still young. This isn't the end of the world. There are so many things waiting in the future for you to experience. Keep moving forward and don't give up easily."
