Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 8

After an hour, they arrived at the ticket office of the amusement park.

Leading a frugal life, Carla, who was careful about how she spent her money all the time, reluctantly bought three tickets, two for adults and one for children.

If her brother hadn't begged her to allow Terence to go with them, she wouldn't have taken him.

Carla shot Terence a dirty look from time to time. Whenever she looked at him, it was a constant reminder that she had spent more of her hard earned money on him unnecessarily.

However, Terence seemed to be unaware, or simply didn't care and chose to completely ignore Carla's sullen glances. He played along happily with Sean and tried several different rides for himself.

Carla went on a few rides but found that she was too exhausted to keep up with them, so she found a shady spot and sat there to rest. She watched as Terence and Sean went on the pirate ship ride, which wasn't far away from where she sat.

If it had only been Carla and Sean at the amusement park, then Sean would have dragged her around everywhere with him and she would be run off her feet. But since Terence accompanied them today, then she didn't have to be so involved and could sit back and rest a while, letting Terence run around with Sean instead.

She looked down at the two big teddy bears beside her that Terence had won for Sean and touched one of the ears.

She then looked up and saw how much fun Sean was having with Terence today and sighed deeply.

The extra ticket that she bought for Terence was worth it, after all.

"Carla?"

While absorbed in her own thoughts, Carla heard someone call out to her.

Instinctively, she turned to see who it was.

When Carla realized who it was that called her, she blushed and immediately stood up feeling nervous. As he approached, she adjusted her clothes and smoothed her hair. She glanced down at her feet and was embarrassed to find that her white sneakers were now dirty after being accidentally stood on by Sean.

"What a surprise to see you here, Evan."

Carla greeted him as he approached, with a big happy smile on her face.

"Yes. I came with a friend. What about you?"

he smiled and asked politely. Evan An was a tall, dark-haired and very handsome man. He was gentle and quietly spoken.

Each time that Evan An smiled at her, Carla went mushy inside. She couldn't resist that gorgeous smile of his. She managed to point a finger in the direction opposite to them and answered,"I came with my brother. He's over there on the pirate ship ride. By the way Evan, thanks for helping me out last time. If it wasn't for you, I might have been fired by Karen."

A short distance away, the pirate ship ride had come to a stop.

After descending from the ride, Sean spotted his sister talking with Evan An. He drew Terence nearer to him and pointed towards them. "Do you see that man over there?"

Following the direction of Sean's finger, Terence caught sight of Evan An and Carla.

To his surprise, he noticed how pleasant and polite Carla acted in front of this man, whereas, at home, she barely tolerated him and was rude and overbearing.

"Do you see him, Terence? His name is Evan An. My sister has had a secret crush on him for over three years now. But, she has never had the courage to tell him how she feels. If you want to be with my sister, he will probably be your biggest rival in love."

Sean told Terence about his sister's feelings for Evan An, in secret. Even though he knew Evan An well before he met Terence, he never really liked Evan An.

As for Terence, as soon as he met him that very first day, Sean took a liking to him.

Sean furrowed his brows when he realized something and looked at Terence. "Your surname is also An, the same as Evan's. Is it possible that you might be related to him?"

He and Carla were siblings and shared the same surname, so Sean assumed that Terence and Evan An could also be related since they shared the same surname.

Terence thought for a moment and then answered,"It might just be a coincidence. There are many people who have the same surname in the world but are not related to one another."

While answering Sean's questions, Terence observed Evan An and Carla who were chatting happily enjoying each other's company. Terence was trying to get a better look at Evan's face but all that he could see was his profile and from that, he couldn't tell much.

Feeling confused, he smiled and looked down at Sean. "What makes you think that I want to be in a relationship with your sister?"

Sean was only a ten-year-old boy who loved his sister and wished the best for her. Hearing the question, he looked up at Terence innocently, his face sincere and pure.
