Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 577

One of the other teams had been chasing Sean from the moment the game started.

That might have been the case, but the people who were coming after Sean had never even shot at him, not even once. Instead, it simply appeared as though they were playing a game of hide-and-seek with him, leaving Sean no choice but to keep running around like crazy.

When she noticed that her little brother had been frantically running around, completely inexperienced with games like this, Carla picked up her gun right away and aimed at one of the men who kept on chasing Sean.

However, just as she was about to take the shot, Terence stopped her from doing so and warned her, "Try not to alarm them. They're a bit different from Theo. Once you shoot at them, they would most certainly be able to pinpoint our location in no time."

"But they're picking on Sean. You can't expect me to sit back and relax knowing that he's in danger,"

Carla blurted out, sounding so ticked off. Despite not being on the same team, she just couldn't help herself from wanting to keep her little brother out of harm's way.

"He's gonna be just fine. Trust me on this. "Sean is the youngest one among all of us. I'm sure they're just messing with him. Besides, if they wanted to shoot him, they would've done so already and he would be already be 'dead'" Terence told her in rather a calm tone. —

That being said, without warning, Carla took the shot just as Terence had finished talking.

Terence was at such a loss in that moment. Bringing out his binoculars to have a look, one of the men who was chasing Sean had actually been taken out.

"Babe, you..."

"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing. Forget about it. That was a good shot, babe."

"You tell me. Even if we're not playing on the same team, I'll come and save him even if I have to put my life on the line."

"I know. I get it, babe."

Glancing over at the man who had just been shot, Terence saw that he was still caught in a daze with his smoking hat.

And because they had already revealed their position, Terence had to be quick on his feet as he lifted Carla up. He couldn't do a thing but smile apologetically at the man who had just been eliminated, pointing a finger toward Carla.

That was a way to tell him that it was a result of friendly fire.

She might have seen him do it, but Carla was completely clueless as to what it actually meant. Truth be told, she was quite proud of her shooting skills. Even though she had practiced shooting before, it had already been ages since the last time she had picked up a gun.

Even Carla had a hard time believing she didn't miss the shot.

The second they tried to move from where they were hiding, Carla and Terence immediately caught Theo's attention.

Now that Theo was all by himself, he was completely dead set on getting revenge for his fallen teammate. Having that goal in mind, when he spotted the couple as they were moving to a different location, he quickly aimed the gun at them.

"Stop! Don't you take another step!"

Terence stopped in his tracks, staring at Theo who was pointing his gun at him from downhill.

"What's the matter, Terence? Feeling surprised? Didn't think you'd end up like this, did you?

"Well, I'm just gonna take my revenge and eliminate one of you. And since I'm feeling a bit generous right now, I'll even let you two lovebirds decide who gets shot first,"

Theo had a devilish grin on his face, feeling quite satisfied with the scene in front of him.

"It's no fun taking just one shot, Theo. What do you say the two of us fight it out?" Terence suggested. Then, he handed his gun over to Carla as he started to roll up his sleeves.

"No, no, no! How on earth can I possibly defeat you? Dude, I don't like being hit at all! Let's just get this over and done with. Just take the shot, okay?"

Theo shook his head real quick without even thinking twice. This time, he was sure that he wouldn't get fooled by him.

Even if every single man in that field were to team up and fight against him, they still probably wouldn't stand a chance.

"Hey, Theo, since you said that you can't beat Terence, then what about me?" Carla asked, smiling at him as she put Terence's gun behind her back.

Hearing that, Theo couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"What are you even saying? I'll never ever fight a woman even if I can't beat your husband. If word comes out about it, it's gonna ruin my reputation as a real gentleman."

"Alright, that's enough. Stop playing games, you two. If you don't decide for yourselves soon, I'll be the one to choose who gets eliminated and who gets to stay."

Theo declared, holding his gun and aiming it at the two of them. Be that as it might, as he gazed at the two of them for a while, he couldn't decide which one he should shoot.

If he were to shoot Terence, he would really feel sorry for Carla since she would have to stay in the field on her own.

On the other hand, when it came to shooting Carla down first, he wasn't sure if he could actually do it because of how guilty he had been feeling due to what happened to Rena last time.

With those thoughts running through his head, Theo kept thinking he was the one to blame for everything that happened to Terence and Carla. He thought that he was the reason for everything.

As those things flooded his head, he couldn't dare to take the shot whatsoever.

Watching Theo keep swinging his gun from side to side, Terence's eyebrows became deeply knit as he said, "Would you stop doing that? You're making us dizzy. Just take your pick already or we're leaving."
