Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 65

Inside the bathroom, Terence stood in the shower, desperately rubbing his head and trying to recall everything that happened last night. However, his head still hurt from the hungover and he couldn't remember anything after he was assisted to his room.

'What if Nathan's judgment is accurate?

If Carla did lose her virginity to another man before me, does it matter? Do I really don't care?'

he asked himself seriously. The hot water kept streaming down at him yet he was drowned with his thoughts so he completely ignored the heat.

Terence knew that he came from a complicated background. However, no matter how many times various women threw themselves at him—except for a couple of times when he had to act intimate with some women for the sake of their corporation—

not once did he really have sex with a woman. He remained a virgin.

Moreover, he knew that whether men or women, once they had been blinded with lust, their own desires would consume them until it turned into greed.

Fortunately, he was a man with discipline and kept himself in control every single time. Or, that was simply because he hadn't really been attracted to anyone.

He would rather stay alone and wait for that one special woman to enter his life than follow the trend and play with women's feelings like they were wrapped around his finger.

So technically, he had never surrendered himself to lust. He wanted to preserve it for that special woman.

Everything remained the same until he laid eyes on Carla.

Terence wiped the water away from his face and remembered the first time they met. It was dark at night and when he stopped her electric scooter, her beautiful eyes shined as she opened them widely and stared straight into his eyes. For a second, he thought that he had met an angel since looking into her eyes was like looking at the ocean—as clear, as vast and as deep. In that very moment, nothing seemed important anymore. Just one glance at her lighted up his whole world and it felt like stars were falling out from her eyes. At that moment, he knew that he could never part from this woman, not anymore.

Terence woke up from his recollection and walked out of the shower. He wrapped himself with a towel and entered the bedroom.

He thought to himself, 'Even if Carla had a boyfriend when we first met, I won't hesitate to try and take her away from him no matter what.

If that's the case, I don't think her virginity matters to me. I will always take her as she is and never will I regret my choice.' Terence concluded and curled up his thin lips.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the dining room, the woman who was happily having breakfast with her little brother had no idea that Terence almost flipped his world upside-down after she left this morning.

What she also didn't know was that Nathan almost placed her in the lowest category in his head since he didn't see any sign of her losing virginity after a whole night of sleeping together with Terence.

She would never know how many accusations had been placed over her head. Even if in reality, she was the true victim last night.

"Hey Carla, you know what? Terence got me a driver and he told me the driver will send me to school every morning and even pick me up at the end of the day. I told him that I don't need a driver. I will just walk with my friends on the main road. But he insisted... So...So I said yes because I knew he won't let me go on my own. I don't know. I'm just a kid. But I think you should know about this,"

Sean told Carla while they were eating. He pouted at her the whole time and looked straight at her with his puppy dog eyes.

Sean was completely fine with Terence's offer for he could still recall the other kids and their parents calling him a liar. He wanted the other kids to know that he was telling the truth but he was also afraid that Carla might be mad at him.

"Okay. If he insisted, then just do as he said," Carla threw an unusual response to little Sean.

Her little brother was astonished and his mouth involuntarily dropped open. He looked at Carla and exclaimed, "Oh my god! Carla? Did you just agree to let Terence look after me? I thought you never liked him because you asked me not to depend on him! Or... Carla! Did you finally come around and decide to accept him?"

As Sean was speaking, he stood up and pounded his fists on the table with immeasurable joy.

"Finally! Carla! He can be my brother-in-law! You should have been his girlfriend earlier so that no one could have teased me and called me a liar! Oh yes! Terence is my brother-in-law! He is my brother-in-law! Woo-hoo!" Sean continued his celebration.

Carla was completely embarrassed by little Sean that she wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it.

While Sean was cheering and clapping his hands, people started to look their way. Each one wore varying puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Sean! Shut up and sit down! I don't want to hear another word from you! Get down!"

Carla yelled at Sean as her face started to get warm out of embarrassment. Sean listened and stopped his little ceremony. He sat down on the chair and asked, "Carla, tell me. I guessed right, didn't I?"

Across the table, Carla rolled her eyes at Sean and buried her face into her palms.

"Why are you asking me, Sean? I have no idea to be honest."

She was telling the truth. She didn't know whether she had become his girlfriend or not after what happened last night.

Terence did confess to her once, expressing his desire to be with her. However, he didn't mention a word about whether he liked her or not. He didn't even send her flowers or tell her directly that he loved her.

But, on second thought, Carla recalled this morning before she left his suite...

"Now you're my woman. My one and only beloved woman," Terence's voice echoed clearly in her head.

Carla suddenly blushed all over as the memory of Sean's words kept repeating in her head over and over again. She patted her face in an attempt to cool it down. 'I think he misunderstood what really happened last night...' Carla sighed and murmured to herself.

When she realized that Terence misunderstood because she didn't deny or explain anything, her face reddened even more.

'In what way can I explain to him what happened last night?
