Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 42

"Race, what's up?"

"Mr. Terence, I have something to tell you. After Mr. Rhys came back yesterday, he spread the news of what happened with you and Miss Carla to the whole An family. Even your father has heard about it now. Mr. Nicholas asked me to call you and tell you to be careful.

You also know your father's temper very well. At present, he has sent people to investigate Miss Carla's background. I'm afraid that he'll be coming for you soon enough..."

Race informed him over the phone.

The Mr. Nicholas that Race mentioned was Terence's grandfather.

And Terence's father was Edmund An.

Now that the condition of the Ans became complicated, it became too difficult to explain everything with just a few words.

Upon hearing the news from Race, Terence was left speechless.

After pondering over it for a while, he finally spoke, "I got it. Ask grandfather to take a good rest. I will go back to visit him in a couple of days."

"Okay, I will inform him. Mr. Terence, Mr. Nicholas also told me to ask you one more question. Are you serious this time?" Race remarked.

Nicholas told Race to ask this question just to be sure of the fact. If Terence really loved Carla and was serious about this matter, he could help him plan what to do and prepare in advance.

If not, Carla, without precaution, might get end up in a difficult situation as getting involved with the An family was full of danger.

Well, there might be also a chance that she could still be safe, but only if Terence tried his best to protect her.

"Yes,"

Terence uttered gently, stealing a glance at Carla sitting beside him.

After hanging up the phone, Terence gradually looked out of the window, his mouth twisting into a wry smile.

By rights, parents might show the greatest affection for the youngest son and dote on him the most, but Terence's father didn't like Terence very much even though he was the youngest son.

On the contrary, Terence's grandfather was the one who had always treated him very well.

Terence's father didn't have as many connections and as high a position compared to that of his grandfather's, so he wouldn't ever dare to take action to against him. And in this way, Terence could grow up safely and smoothly in the family.

"Terence, what's wrong?" Sean shook Terence's hand after seeing him stay silent, wondering whether someone told him something unpleasant over the phone.

"Is everything okay? Did the person you were talking to through the phone say something to displease you?"

Sean asked, his voice filled with so much concern. Wearing a smile, Terence turned toward Sean and Carla who silently looked at him with a worried expression in her eyes.

"Hey. You've already accepted the gift I gave you, but why do you still call me 'Terence'?" Terence said jokingly, poking Sean's nose. "So, have I just wasted my gift this time?" he added.

Scratching his head, Sean chuckled and secretly glanced at Carla. Then, he wittily replied, "I call you 'Terence' because I treat you as not only my brother-in-law, but also my best friend forever! So I think I can call you whatever I like."

In fact, he actually thought that it would be okay to call Terence his 'brother-in-law' whenever there were only a few people with them, and that he should call him 'Terence' in front of many others.

After all, Carla and Terence hadn't been married yet, so Sean believed that he might cause unnecessary misunderstandings if he referred to Terence in such a special way.

And if so, he might also get Carla in trouble because of that then.

"You can call me whatever you like."

Terence knew what Sean was thinking and worrying about. Turning to look at Carla who still kept silent, he took her hand and asked, "What's wrong? What's bothering you?"

Carla stopped being absorbed into her own thoughts and looked out of the window. "I wonder why the destination is so far away from us. We set out a long time ago, but we still haven't arrived."
