Love is the Sunshine

From the look on Sean's face, Carla could easily tell that he was about to cry. She sat beside him and gently rubbed his back to comfort him. Of course, she knew he wouldn't be able to accept it so easily once he found out, but it was still hard for Carla to see his brother looking so down. She then asked him, "You heard from Rainer that Terence is about to get engaged to another woman, right?"

In an instant, Sean raised his head and stared at Carla. Looking quite surprised, he blurted out, "Wait, what? You knew about it? When did you find out?!"

Sean's nose was stuffed up and a little runny so he sniffed and explained to her, "Rainer wasn't really planning to tell me about it, but I overheard some people in the background having a conversation about Terence's engagement with someone. So, when I asked Rainer, he had no other choice but to tell me the truth.

Rainier knew that I might let it slip so that he asked me to try not to think about it too much. And, he also asked me to make sure not to tell you..."

Sean had always pictured Terence as his future brother-in-law from the time they had been together. How could he possibly remain calm knowing that Terence was bound to married someone other than his own sister? After all, he was still a child and a child would never lie. So Sean decided to be honest and tell Carla about the news. He thought there must have been some mistakes.

Carla had been contemplating the news an awful lot. However, she thought that everything just went off so smoothly without as much as a hitch that it almost seemed like all of it had been carefully planned out by someone. It was particularly because she had just recently come to accept Terence in her life to see where it might lead them to. For that reason, her hunch was telling her something was up.

'It was just a simple fender bender, so Terence got off with just a few minor injuries. Then, this woman from the Hua family just happened to coincidentally pass him by exactly when the accident took place. Shouldn't she be somewhere fancy sipping tea with her besties?' Carla's thoughts went out of control.

aren't you saying anything? Are you alright? It's okay if you're feeling sad about it." Sean was deeply concerned about his sister. Even though he was only ten, he understood that Terence was special to Carla. As he was asking Carla, he tried to steel his resolve by patting his own shoulder and said to her, failing to mask his trembling voice, "'Don't keep it all in.
