Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 82

On the other side of the country, in BH City, an apartment window visibly had all its lights on in a high-rise building.

Upon opening the door, Carla was welcomed by the sight of poor little Sean slurping some instant noodles from a cup.

Sean heard the door open and reflexively turned to the entrance. Knowing it was just Carla, he shot her a beaming glance and shifted his eyes back on the cup of noodles without even saying anything.

"Oh, Sean. I'm so sorry! I'm truly sorry! Please forgive me!" Carla rushed to his side and quickly wrapped her arms around him, hugging him so tight that it made it hard for him to breathe. With guilt written all over her face, she whispered to Sean, "How could I forget to cook dinner for you?! I'm such a bad sister. With all of my heart, I sincerely apologize. Would you forgive me, Sean?"

Sean sniffed, giving her a cold stare, then he murmured with a hint of anger in his voice, "You're such a terrible sister for leaving your only brother home alone to eat these unhealthy instant noodles! Where have you been? How could you leave your poor little brother behind and have dinner somewhere else without me? If dad and mom were still alive, you surely would've earned yourself a spanking!"

Carla couldn't help but look at Sean with a slightly rueful grin as she thought to herself, 'Yeah, I dined out alright. One hell of a dinner that almost caused me a fortune!'

But she decided it would be best to hide it from Sean because he'd probably resent her even more if he finds out.

"Sean, I'm so sorry I forgot. I knew you haven't eaten yet, so I brought home some food for you! See?" Carla brought out the take-outs and placed them in front of Sean as she spoke and try to appease his anger. She then planted an apologetic kiss on his cheek.

Sean might have been upset that Carla forgot to prepare food for him, but what can he do? He's just a kid. There was no way he'd ever hold a grudge over something like that. So, as he watched Carla take out all the delicious food she had brought back, his eyes began widening and he rubbed his hands in glee, so ready to have a feast for himself. It looked like he had already forgotten how upset he was just a minute ago.

Because of her injured arm, Carla had to call her superior and ask for two days off from work. She wanted the wound to heal first before she came back to work again. After all, it would be much better that way.

For that reason, Carla just stayed at home the following day to get some much needed rest.

As Sean had classes to attend, Carla did some simple chores that her injury would be able to manage. Before long, she got a bit tired and lounged on the couch as she turned on the TV.

A short while later, she was suddenly surprised by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

Carla slowly walked toward the door and peered through the peephole. She saw a man in uniform standing in front of her doorstep. It was a building inspector. She swung the door open and asked the reason why he came for a visit.

The inspector explained to her patiently, "Miss Ji, how are you? I came here today because recently, this building has been in need of running a detailed circuit check. We will enter every household to inspect whether the electric circuit is normally functioning or not. That being so, we need your full cooperation."

For Carla, this man in uniform looked like a professional since he had explained perfectly the purpose of his visit, just like how a typical building inspector would have behaved. So, she didn't bother giving it much thought.

"Oh, is that so? I didn't receive any notice though. But you know what? Forget about it. You may go ahead and come in." Carla noticed that the toolbox he was carrying had the building's name carved onto it so she didn't suspect a thing about this man. She welcomed him to the apartment and let him enter the living room.
