Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 546

"Alright. But if you can, please try to get back home early so you can spend some time with my father. In spite of everything that happened in the past, you're still his daughter-in-law,"

Terence flatly remarked.

Even though Edmund had never really been fond of Carla, it was time that he changed his attitude toward her as she was now the mother of his dear granddaughter. How hard could it be if it was for Sally's sake?

Even after all of the time he spent with Lucy by his side, Terence never really had any feelings for her whatsoever. Their marriage was just a way to cover up everything that happened and to help Terence forget about Carla completely.

Edmund might not have mentioned it even once, but that didn't necessarily mean that he wasn't aware of the truth.

Now that Carla had returned, it was about time that everything finally went back to the way it was before.

"Okay, I'll try to come back as soon as I can," Carla answered. At that moment, she couldn't help but remember the time when Edmund and Eunice humiliated her in front of everyone. Even after four years, it was still making her feel uneasy.

Sean played with Sally all afternoon, wanting to be a good uncle to her. As Sally sat on the swing, he stood behind her to make sure she didn't get hurt. After that, he played basketball as Sally watched.

Sally was running after Sean all the time as though she was his shadow. It was their first time meeting each other but she couldn't help herself from getting fascinated by this uncle of hers.

And then it was finally time for him to go. Sean gave Sally a great big hug before leaving the Seaview Villa with Carla.

Before they left, Carla asked one of the servants to take a photo of the four of them together--herself, Terence, Sean and Sally.

After having their photo taken, Nathan proceeded to drive Carla and Sean to a business hotel.

In just a while, they arrived at their destination and went inside together.

Sean would have come to Carla's place yesterday if Noah wasn't about to have a meeting this morning. He delayed his plan so he could come with Noah, which was more convenient.

By the time they got there, Noah still wasn't done with his meeting. But in spite of that, he immediately walked out of the room the second his assistant informed him about their arrival.

When he got out of the conference room, he saw the woman who was chatting with Sean in the corridor. Left a bit dumbstruck, he wondered whether this was real or his brown eyes had only been playing tricks on him.

It had been four long years since the last time he saw her. Because of that, he had been so down in the dumps and dispirited during the past couple of years.

He decided to stay with the Hua family so he could protect her. So, when she disappeared, he almost gave up and lost all hope.

It took a long time before he could pull himself together and started over again.

He somehow came to the realization that he shouldn't lose faith because of Carla's absence. Instead, he should do what he could to protect the Hua family for her sake.

Sean promptly walked into his own room when he noticed Noah coming over. Right now, he knew that the two of them had a lot of catching up to do, so he left them in the quiet corridor to give them a bit of privacy.

He first met Noah when he was just ten years old. So, after a number of years of watching him, he more or less had an idea what his sister thought of him.

It was true that Terence was the one who suffered the greatest blow when Carla went missing. That being said, he was not the only one who was in so much pain.

Noah, not to mention his mother, was also consumed with sadness.

"Noah..."

Carla called out to him as she walked closer, with a gleaming smile on her face.

"Carla!"

Noah cried out as he frantically paced toward her and tightly held her in his arms. "My mom told me that you came back and I couldn't really believe it at first. But now that I've seen you with my very own eyes, I'm so glad that you're here!"

It had been so long, so Noah couldn't control his emotions and was shivering a little. "I never really believed that you were dead. But one year went by, two years... no one was able to find you, so I was almost at my wit's end..."

With her eyes welling up with tears, Carla gave him a pat on the shoulder as she tried to calm him down, "Noah, I'm back. I sincerely appreciate all of the things you've done all these years. God only knows what could have happened to the Hua family as well as the Hua Group if it weren't for you being there! So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much."

"Hey, there's no need for you to thank me. You... You are like a sister to me, and the Hua family is where I belong! It's just right that I should protect my own family as the eldest son,"

Noah replied, stammering in the middle of what he was saying. For a brief moment there, he was so close to letting his real thoughts slip, but fortunately, he hadn't said it out loud.

The way that he usually was, Noah wouldn't really fall in love with anybody so quickly. And it should go without saying that he also wouldn't forget the person he loved so easily.

Truth be told, he loved Carla so much back then. And even after four years, he truly loved her still.

But for things to get better, he had no choice but to try to move on. So, he ended up marrying Julie to make his mother happy.

Despite knowing what was going on in his mind, Julie had never blamed him for it.

The reason for that was because deep inside her heart, she knew that if it weren't for Carla, she never would have had the chance to be Noah's girlfriend, let alone his wife and his child's mother.
