Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 53

Carla touched her burning cheek gingerly and with a bitter smile she said, "Terence, if I were to stay with you, things like this would happen again and again. It's only just the beginning.

If it's not her, many of your other admirers would do something similar. You won't be able to look after me all the time. Besides, it would be too exhausting for me to have to constantly be on my toes looking out for people like that."

Terence took her hand in his and looked at her sincerely. "Don't worry. As long as I keep those sort of people away, things like that won't ever happen again.

I won't allow anyone to touch a single hair on your head. Trust me."

Carla breathed out a deep sigh. "Terence, there's something I need to tell you. I plan to go back to BH City tomorrow tonight with Sean, and I have already bought the train tickets."

The moment she had finished speaking, the atmosphere had suddenly turned awkward and silent.

"Terence, I only asked for a week off work and the trip back will take another whole day. If I don't go back now I may lose my job."

Terence's handsome face suddenly had a doleful expression as he shifted his eyes and remained silent.

It was understandable that she wanted to go back to BH city.

After all, it was where she was born and had lived all her life, but he couldn't bear the thought of her returning back to her tireless job.

Minutes passed before he finally spoke again, "Okay, but you should change jobs. Food delivery is too exhausting for you, Carla. You should do something that is less demanding."

Since she had already made up her mind, he had to respect her wishes.

Carla didn't respond. She suddenly remembered the other purpose of this trip.

She reached into her bag and pulled out the property title certificates and the bank card.

"I'm sorry. I almost forgot. The money for the two months rent is still on the card. I haven't spend any of it.

I wanted to refuse these shops that day, but there were other people around so I couldn't back then. I was thinking when I had a moment alone with you, I would give it all back."

Carla put the property title certificates and the bank card into his hand. "You know me. I can't take what I don't deserve. You have already repaid me with the money that you earned from the computer programming job that you did. This extra money in the bank account was unnecessary.

I know that you are wealthy, but I can't take what's not mine," she said in a soft voice.

Terence looked down at the property title certificates and the bank card. His deep dark eyes were expressionless.

"Are you cutting me off?

Were you planning on severing all ties with me once you returned to BH city?"

he asked looking up at her. His captivating eyes intently fixed on hers.

His voice sounded heartbroken and strained.

Carla fidgeted nervously with her hands. She breathed in deeply and then looked up at Terence with teary eyes.

"Yes, I was.

During this short stay at your home, I have come to realize some things. The An family is the most honorable among the upper society of JA City. Even the lower ranked relatives would not marry someone unless they too were financially matched to them. Let alone you Terence, one of the legitimate heirs of the An family.

Your mother is the daughter of the former mayor of JA City. Even your grandmother is the sister of the chairman of a renowned giant corporation of that time."

Carla wasn't stupid. If it were possible, she would definitely be with him.
