Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 607

"Yes, Uncle James. Terence came with me! He'll come later,"

said Carla.

Even after whatever had happened between her and her uncles, Uncle James and Uncle Mike bore no grudges against her.

They did not have a petty nature.

However, her words made Uncle James panic.

He was afraid the crowd would irritate Terence, and make him angry.

"Ted, be quick. Go and meet Mr. Terence right away, He should've been here by now. I hope to god he is alright!" said James, then sat himself on a chair.

But he was too anxious to relax. A second later, he rose again, urging to his wife, "Honey, quick! Get a room ready for Mr. Terence. Make sure it's comfortable enough for him! And what about lunch? Is it ready?"

He then turned to Carla. "Carla, you must stay here and rest. Make yourself at home. I am going to look for Mr. Terence with Mike. Hopefully, we will meet him halfway."

Carla responded with a gentle nod.

After they left, Carla called Terence.

Meanwhile, Sean was summoned to another room to have a chat with his aunts.

"Terence, where are you? Uncle James just left to look for you. Are you alright?"

"Yes...I'm almost there,"

Terence replied in a calm tone.

"Really? I'm afraid this village is too lousy to welcome you. I told you not to come with me,"

she said jokingly.

She had indeed tried to discourage him from coming but he insisted on it. Sometimes, he just wouldn't listen.

"No, of course not. I'm going to spend the night on the helicopter. What do you think?"

Terence asked gently. Since the trip from JA City was long, it would be very tiring for him to leave on the same day.

The truth was, Terence didn't like to stay in someone else's house.

He preferred to stay in a hotel whenever he was out for business. The hotels he picked were the kind that suited his requirements and lifestyle.

"We can figure that out once you get here. Please try to come as soon as possible, honey. Bye! See you soon!"

After hanging up, Carla looked around the courtyard. Somehow, it seemed both familiar and strange to her.

Her father had spent his entire childhood in this house. He'd left for town after growing up. But he always visited with Carla and Sean to meet their grandparents.

Sadly, her grandparents had passed away too soon.

What was devastating was after a few years, her father passed away too. Uncle James moved into this house and renovated it in their grandparents' memory. It looked completely new, but the feeling of familiarity stayed.

In the next room, Sean was chatting with his aunt.

"It's been so long since I saw you last! You're so much taller! How fast you have grown up, Sean!"

She paused, sighed, and then spoke again, "Time really flies! We're old now, and you are a young man at the cusp of your marrying age!"

Incidentally, Carla stepped into the room at the same time.

Cheryl stood up and held her hand as soon as she saw her.

"Oh, Carla! Come and sit with me. You poor thing. How have you been, my love? Have the past years been tough on you?

We were devastated to hear you were dead! It just seemed so unfair...first your father, then you..."

Cheryl stopped there, too sad to go on. She took a deep breath, then added, "I felt distressed every time I thought about what happened to you.

I can't thank god enough that you are back!

I was thrilled the day I found out you were alive and headed to church immediately to thank god for your life!"

There were tears in Cheryl's eyes. Carla could see how grateful she was. Sincerely, she responded, "Thank you so much, Aunt Cheryl! Perhaps it was due to your prayers that I could get back safely."

"Honey, you are such a sweet girl," Cheryl smiled, patting the back of Carla's hand. "As long as you and Sean are safe, we have nothing to worry about."

Carla nodded slightly.

Regardless of what they had done to her in the past, Carla was touched by her sincere words.

This was her father's home. Even though she was an adopted child, she believed she deserved to be treated like family.

"Sean, is that you? Are you really back?"

The voice of a young girl interrupted Carla's thoughts.

The girl stood at the door. She was about fifteen years old, rather tall for her age. She wore a cotton, floral dress, which complemented her gentle body.

"Oh, Sean. Do you remember Jane? She is my niece. You are both around the same age. Remember how you played together when you were little?"

Cheryl introduced Jane to Sean with excitement, reaching out for Jane's hand to get her closer.
