Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 536

Terence hadn't said anything from the moment they got back.

He was cudgeling his brain trying to figure out what he was thinking in the past two years.

"Babe, the biggest mistake I have ever made was letting another woman stay in our house."

Terence knew fully well that he had truly made a number of bad decisions throughout his life, but the worst of them all was what they had to deal with at this moment.

Hearing his answer, Carla nodded her head, feeling quite satisfied. Then, she walked over toward him and reached out her hand. "Alright, my dear husband, let's go have dinner first. I'm feeling a bit hungry."

Seeing her arm outstretched toward him, Terence was on the verge of tears. He quickly grabbed her hand and stood up, holding her tightly in his arms. "I can't tell you how sorry I am, babe. I'm really sorry... I'll come back here and continue to kneel after dinner.

If this can help me make it up to you, even just a little, then I don't mind doing it. I won't get up until you're happy."

Seeing how determined he was to make it up to her was enough to thaw her frozen heart. "Forget about it. You don't really have to do that anymore. Otherwise, people might end up accusing me of being an abusive wife."

"It doesn't matter what other people say. No one else can tell us what to do!"

Terence stated, gently wrapping his arm around her waist as they walked toward the dining area.

Feeling as if trapped inside an ice cellar, all Lucy could do was jealously stare at the intimate couple.

She found out the hard truth that that was what a real couple looked like.

She had been with him for two years already. Yet, Terence had never been affectionate toward her and had always kept his distance.

When they were done eating, Carla wasn't really planning to let Terence go back to kneeling. However, this man seemed to have his mind already made up. It looked like he was treating this as his way of redeeming himself.

He really didn't go upstairs and knelt until the clock struck 12 at midnight.

Carla was having trouble getting sleep, worrying that he might still be kneeling on the washboard downstairs. With that keeping her up, she decided not to go to bed until he went up to their bedroom.

After taking a shower to feel refreshed, Terence headed toward their room and went straight to bed. He wrapped his arms around Carla, who was holding Sally in her arms, and embraced the two of them.

"... Babe, are you asleep yet?"

he whispered under his breath.

Hearing his voice, Carla turned over to face him and touched his knee. "Does it hurt?"

"No, not at all. To tell you truth, I actually feel so happy." Beaming her a warm and loving smile, Terence was completely over the moon.

Even though kneeling on a washboard was such a disgraceful act, it had actually saved him lots of trouble and worked out for him because Carla had acted the part of the bad guy in front of Lucy for his sake.

"Terence, I'm worried about something." Carla got up and stared right at his face.

"What is it? Is anything bothering you?" Terence asked, holding her tightly in his arms.

"You just remembered everything about me earlier this morning, right?" Carla rolled her eyes and kept thinking for a while. It's true that he vividly remembered everything today, but what about tomorrow or the day after that?

"Why are you asking about that?" Terence felt a bit confused. From the tone of her voice, it seemed as if she was doubting him.

Curling her lips, Carla poked his chest. "I'm just scared that you might forget about me again when you wake up tomorrow."

"That isn't going to happen, babe." Terence answered immediately without really giving it much thought. Then, he raised her chin and kissed her lips, "No, how can I forget you again? You're my dear wife. I love you more than anything in the world."

As she laid in his arms, Carla sneered, "Well, you can't say that for sure. Don't you remember how you treated me when I just got back? What if you end up doing something worse?"

"Really? How could I... I'm so sorry, babe. I truly am. My grandfather was worried about me at that time, so he tried so hard to persuade me to go to therapy. I was actually quite resistant to it when I started. There may be some after-effects, but I'm sure that I'll recover from it soon enough..."

Terence embraced her even tighter. Things have become quite different. Now that Carla had come back, there should be a way for him to break free from the hypnosis.

Manipulating one's consciousness was no mere mortal task. That's what made it extremely unstable.

As Carla nodded her head, she suddenly got a bit drowsy. Her eyes felt so heavy that she almost instantly fell asleep in his arms.

Terence didn't want to disturb her when he saw that she had fallen asleep, but he just couldn't help himself from caressing her.

They had all the time in the world.

Right next to him, Sally was also sleeping soundly. He pressed his hand on the pretty little girl's cheeks and couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

He was feeling even more relaxed and pleasant and in a state of perfect bliss.

Carla and the addition of their lovely daughter had made his life complete.

That was all he could think of at that moment.

The next day, just before the break of dawn.
