Love is the Sunshine

"Yes," Carla replied, as the memories of the last time they had a fight before he left her house started flooding her thoughts.

Throughout all of those times they had been together, he had always been nice to her, treating her very well. But still, she always thought that was just because he was only feeling grateful toward her for rescuing him that one time when she found him on the street.

Now, here came another woman who had just done the exact same thing Carla did before for him. She saved his life and she was now even taking good care of him, so Carla was in deep fervent thought, under the notion that she herself had just now ceased from being the only special girl in his eyes.

"I'm glad that you're doing fine. Do you have something else in your mind that you wanted to talk to me about? If not, then I'll hang up the phone now. I'll make sure to pay the two of you a visit as soon as I get fully recovered," Terence remarked in a calm demeanor.

"Wait just a second." As she finally found the determination to ask him about the rumors regarding his engagement, Carla accidentally bit her tongue a little. Ever since she heard the news from Violet, she had been feeling unusually uneasy, desperate and dying to know what all of those things meant. If she didn't take this chance to ask him about the real situation, she wouldn't be able to get rid of her restlessness.

"What's wrong? What do you want to talk about?" Terence asked, pressing his index finger onto his lips, gesturing toward Nathan, who had just walked into the room as they were talking, trying to tell him not to say a word and keep quiet.

By sheer coincidence, a couple passing by suddenly caught Carla's attention. The two of them were quarreling for some reason or another. This caused her to shift her gaze toward the ground, looking as if her eyes had been glued to it.

"Someone has just told me the news that you are bound to get engaged. I'm just a little curious. Is that true?" Gasping for a little bit of air, she carried on saying, "If it really is true, I want you to tell me. Don't try to even lie to me or hide the truth from me. I promise I'm not going to hate you for it or whatever. You got that?"

For a moment there, Terence just kept his mouth shut, taking a glance at Bonnie Hua who was sitting right beside him, and then he suddenly closed his eyes. "I'll just explain everything to you next time,"

After ignoring Carla's question, unsure of what to tell her in that situation, he hung up the phone immediately. On the other hand, Carla lifted her chin up and watched as the couple who went past her carried on arguing and quarreling even more and more intensely, to the point that she herself was no longer in the mood to do some shopping anymore.
