Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 61

Terence frowned, hugely turned off and thought crossly, 'If she hadn't said that, I would have made love to her and taken her virginity right here and right now without any hesitation.'

Either way, Carla would belong to him sooner or later. When he took her made no difference to him.

However, when he thought of the reason why she was giving herself to him, it extinguished all the blazing passion that he had felt just a few moments ago. He wanted her to love him back, instead of doing this just to show her gratitude. It didn't feel right. Terence thought that Carla had learned her lesson and would see how much she truly needed him, in her life.

But in fact, she was still untamed at heart.

"No, I mean it. Otherwise—

Why would I prepare this for you?" Carla's beautiful eyes twinkled. She reached out and opened the drawer of the nightstand, pulling out a condom.

"Come on. Don't be disturbed. Let's continue, shall we?" Taking the initiative, Carla reached out to unfasten his belt, only to be pushed aside bluntly.

"It's getting late. I've got business to do. I'll come and see you later."

Terence straightened up and fastened his belt. He grabbed his shirt and strode away from the bed. Picking up the tablet computer from the living room, he quickly left the room.

"Ha—Ha!"

Carla lay back on the bed and burst into laughter after his departure. She smiled as she glanced at the condom wrapped in silver foil in her hand.

'Why did he run away?

Wasn't he the one who wanted this so badly before?' she wondered.

In a room of the hotel next door, Nathan lay the files out that were just sent to them from the police station on the desk in front of Terence.

"Mr. Terence, they are really traffickers. The only problem is that someone had sent them the information and asked them to kidnap Sean. But they don't know who it was that sent them the information. This person is so deeply hidden. We haven't been able to find their identity yet, in such a short time. But we're still working on it."

Terence crossed his arms and glanced at the files.

"The time is too short? You haven't found him yet?"

Nathan lowered his head at once and said, "We have started with JA City. For the moment, Johnny and Marcus can be excluded. The trouble we brought them before wasn't too serious but was enough to keep them busy for a while.

As for your father, we don't think he was the one, after the investigation. He doesn't have motive." "So?"

"So, there's only Miss Megan left. You drove her out of the villa and she probably feels humiliated. She would hold a grudge against you. Every time she wanted to see you, you refused. It's more than likely that she wanted to vent her anger out on Miss Carla."

Terence held his chin in his hand and stared thoughtfully at the affidavit on the table. There were surging currents hidden in his seemingly peaceful eyes.

"Megan hated Carla so much that she burnt Carla's house. I believe that. But, I don't think she would be that insane, to harm a kid."

Something was off. He must have overlooked something.

"How many people knew that I was coming to BH City?"

he asked.

"You came here on the spur of the moment. Very few people would have known about it. I don't believe your whereabouts would have been leaked out. But— Many might have noticed that now. Mr. An, the director of the BH city's public security bureau has sent his undercover people to secretly protect you,"

Nathan said.

Terence took the files of the three suspects and leaned back on the chair, scanning through their individual statements quickly. He frowned.

"No! We thought the arson and the kidnapping were carried out by the same group of people. But now, it appears that we were wrong. It was Megan who set fire to Carla's house. She did it purely out of revenge, with no intention of harming anyone.

However, the ones that ordered Sean's kidnapping have no ties with Megan. They weren't expecting our arrival. That is to say, their plans have been set back temporarily."

Terence had a satisfied sparkle in his eyes, knowing that they managed to foil the kidnapper's plans. "Nathan, go and interrogate the three traffickers again. Make sure to find out, when and where they were going to take Sean to next!"

He had a gut feeling, that something deeper was hidden behind all of this and it was about to reveal itself. If there was a clue, he could track it down and find out the truth.

'However, someone had leaked out information about Sean, a ten-year-old boy, to the kidnappers. Why?' thought Terence.

"Yes. I'll do it immediately. But Mr. Terence, you should go and rest. You haven't slept all night. There's a meeting this morning and dinner party in the evening. Don't exhaust yourself,"

Nathan said, trying to persuade him.

Terence nodded and waved to dismiss him.
