Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 598

When Carla heard what her husband had just said, she couldn't help but chuckle. With a wide smile, she asked, "You miss me? So am I your puppet, dear husband? I have to run over to meet you whenever you miss me, is that right? What if I don't miss you and I don't want to come to you?"

"Well, I'll just come get you right now if you don't want to come,"

Terence threatened her in a low voice. He too, chuckled a little because he knew well enough that he got endless ways to make her come to him.

"Fine, come and get me. Do you even know where I am right now?" At this moment, Carla was already on her way back to the Seaview Villa but they were stuck in heavy traffic. It was going to take a while before they could reach any destination.

"You're currently on the Feng He Road, waiting for the traffic light to turn green. But there is some traffic jam so it'll take you ten minutes to get through," Terence stated with a gentle smile on his face while he was looking at her location on his phone.

Carla froze when she heard what Terence had just said. She looked outside the car window and saw the blue road sign indicating that they were in fact, on Feng He Road.

"Are you following me?" Carla immediately asked as she suspiciously looked at their surroundings. She was so surprised by how accurate Terence knew their location.

"Oh, babe, you don't know, do you? Every car in our house has a GPS tracker."

The trackers were installed long ago so Terence could find any of the cars in the house if they ever got stolen.

He then continued, "Tell the driver to turn around in the next intersection. A few meters from there is a shortcut to the company."

Now that Carla knew Terence could see their exact location, Carla curled her lips and relayed to the driver what Terence had stated.

In about 20 minutes, Carla arrived at the entrance of the company.

Sally had been sleeping since the moment they got into the car. So with so much effort, Carla held the little girl in her arms as she got out of the vehicle. However, she immediately saw a person's strong arms reaching out to hold Sally. Obviously, Terence had been waiting for her.

"I thought you were busy. Don't you have work to do?"

Carla asked Terence as she got out of the car herself.

Before he responded, Terence turned to Nathan and transferred Sally into his arms. He then took off his coat and placed it over her in case she caught a cold.

"Eh, I'm not busy at the moment.

Come on, let me show you something."

On their way to his office, Terence asked Nathan to take Sally in his office so that the little girl could sleep soundly. Then, he led Carla into the design room at the end of the corridor.

"Come on, have a look," Terence beamed with a huge smile on his face.

Carla walked a little closer, looking at the draft which covered half of the wall.

"Is... Is this BT Village?" Carla stuttered. She couldn't believe what was in front of her.

"Yeah, this map covers about 20 miles around the village." Terence gently said while he embraced her from behind. "This is just a preliminary draft, so it's going to take at least a year to finish the design before construction could start."

"And right here, I'm going to buy this island and develop it." Terence pointed at a spot on the map.

Carla stared at him. She then laughed while she asked, "Why would you buy the whole island?

You have too much money to spare?"

Terence flicked her forehead as he grinned widely. "Well, if you say so. I want to name the place, 'Carla Island'. It's my gift to you."

Carla's heart was beating very fast. She was stunned. After being with Terence for so long, she knew that Terence had an inkling for grand gestures so she couldn't imagine that the man could still surprise her but he just did.

She couldn't help but reach out and feel his forehead. "Are you okay? Do you feel feverish or something? What are you talking about? Why do you want to give me an island?

If you really have too much money, let's just give it to charity."

"You don't have to worry about that. We have our own charity foundation." Terence pulled Carla closer to him by her waist. Then, he lifted her chin so she could look at him. With that, he could finally gaze at her affectionately.

"I want to build a private island for you, which would have anything you like, flowers, grass, me and you."

Looking up and staring at his beautiful eyes, Carla's eyes were brimming with tears.

"Honey," she softly stated.

"Yes?" Terence responded.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

"Since you're giving me an island, I feel like I have to give you something in return."

Carla's eyes twinkled brightly. She couldn't help but feel so overwhelmed for receiving such a wonderful and extravagant gift.

"You are my wife, so I'll do everything for you. I know it's a cliché but even if you want the stars, I'll definitely try my best to get you one. And you know me, you know that I'm really going to do it for you." Gazing at Carla's serious face, Terence couldn't help but laugh out loud.
