Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 103 Make The Phone Call In Front Of Everyone

Carla felt helpless as it seemed that everyone was against her. The people on the bus wouldn't stop

and Sean wouldn't give up. She rubbed her eyebrows and gave him a warning glance. However, Sean

was so hyped up that he didn't even notice.

Carla was losing her patience with Sean. She couldn't do anything about the way the other people

were treating her, but this was her brother. Sean was just inviting more trouble to her.

She had totally cut off from Terence.

What would it look like if Sean called him out of the blue all of a sudden? Thinking about that, Carla

could just sigh silently under her breath.

"Great! Look Jeremy, Sean is a man of his own word after all!" Mrs. Jiang commented something

seemingly nice although she was still mocking. She was about to make the call and then she stopped

for a moment.

"I'll make the phone call then. Is everyone okay with it?" she asked again as she looked around at

everyone on the bus.

Her eyes finally landed on Carla, who had been silent the whole time. All of the passengers on the bus

were eager and excited for her to call. Looking forward to seeing how it was all going to unfold.

Everyone that was, except for Carla.

"Carla, has the cat got your tongue? Why don't you answer me? It seems as if I'm bullying a kid. Do

you dare to let me make the call or not?" Mrs. Jiang added with sarcasm in her voice.

Carla rubbed her eyes lightly and frowned. She looked up at Mrs. Jiang, who was holding the phone

taunting her with it.

"Fine! Just make the call," Carla replied firmly.

If she didn't agree to it, then Sean would lose face in front of everyone. She couldn't let that happen.

After all, Sean was all she had. If he felt sad, then Carla would be upset as well.

It shouldn't matter if Sean answered the call anyway. He was still a kid, so Terence might not think too

much about it.

"Okay! Great! Here we go." Mrs. Jiang gave Carla a thumbs up gesture and dialed the number out

quickly.

She then passed the phone to Sean in time before anyone had answered the call.

There was a nervous tension on the bus. Everyone was silent. All that could be heard was the dull hum

of the coach motor and the dial tone of the phone. No one dared to make a sound in fear of missing a

detail.

After several rings, the call was finally answered. The people on the bus stretched their necks out and

pricked their ears up to hear better, even though the call was already on speaker.

"Terence! It's me, Sean!"

Sean got excited with his little heart racing inside his chest once he heard that the call got through.

"Sean? Which Sean?" The man on the line seemed to be confused. The air grew thick with

anticipation.

The excited smile on Sean's face froze and his heart sank, when he realized that it wasn't Terence's

voice on the line.

"Mrs. Jiang, this isn't Terence. It must be a wrong number," Sean said with doubt in his eyes.

"Not a chance!" Mrs. Jiang barked at once as she snatched the phone from Sean's hand. She then put

on a sweet voice and asked, "Excuse me? Is that Mr. An?"

"Yes, it is. Who is this?" The man seemed to have lost his patience and questioned with irritation in his

voice.

"Well, do you know Sean and his sister, Carla?" Mrs. Jiang asked, anxious to prove to everyone on the

bus that the number was the correct one.

She had put so much effort into getting the number and bragged about it, that she would look a fool

now if it was the wrong one.

Besides, the man on the line did say that his family name was An, so she was confident that it was the

correct number.

"You mean Sean Ji and Carla Ji? Well, you should call Terence. I'm his second eldest brother. But

Terence and his fiancee are on vacation abroad at the moment."

It was Rhys An, who was on the other end of the line. If it were Marcus An, the eldest brother who had

answered, then he definitely wouldn't have known about Sean and Carla.

But Rhys knew them since he had met them before. The only reason why he disclosed the

whereabouts of Terence, was that he knew Sean and Carla were pretty close to Terence.

After giving her the information, Rhys then hung up the phone and put Mrs. Jiang's number into the

blacklist.

Mrs. Jiang was left like a stunned mullet. So the number was wrong after all. There were three sons in

the An family. The number that she got was Terence An's brother and not Terence's like she had

thought.

Mrs. Jiang shook her head slightly and regained her composure. All was not lost. At least she had

learned a few things from the phone call.

Two major points in fact.

First, Terence An did know Sean and Carla.

Therefore, Carla didn't lie when she said that they knew Terence but were not that close for him to

come and meet them once they had arrived in JA City.

And the second point being, Terence An was abroad with his fiancee this very moment, enjoying their

vacation. That proved Sean was only daydreaming about his sister marrying Terence An. Mrs. Jiang

cleared her throat feeling rather embarrassed.

"Ahem— Umm, it appears that my friend probably didn't listen to me clearly. Since I asked for Terence's

number but got his brother's instead."

Mrs. Jiang smoothed her hair down feeling self-conscious and shifted back into her seat. She was

capable enough to get the number. It was just that it happened to be the wrong one.

"Mrs. Jiang, it was very capable of you to get his brother's number as well," one of the parents offered,

as he saw her discomfort.

"At least we learned that Sean and his sister do know Terence An. But Sean, you have to stop saying

that Terence An is your brother-in-law, okay?

We all heard that he is on vacation abroad with his fiancee. And your sister, well, she's sitting right

beside you," he added.

As soon as he said that, the bus was filled with hysterical laughter.

Jeremy turned to Sean and made an ugly grimace at him and said, "Did you hear that Sean? You lied

to us. How dare you claim that Terence An is your brother-in-law when you barely even know him!

Now, your lies have been exposed. What do you have to say about that?"

The teacher sitting in front of the bus couldn't help but step in, "All right, Jeremy. That's enough! Sean

is still a kid. It's easy for him to misunderstand some things."

Biting his lips, Sean fumed inside but didn't say anything. He looked around and saw how people were

laughing at him and his sister. He felt so frustrated. Even though he was young, he wasn't stupid. When

the tension inside of him built up so much that he couldn't stand it any longer. He suddenly turned to his

sister and said loudly, "Carla! Give me your phone. I'll call Terence myself!"

Carla looked at him and her face darkened. She was going to flick Sean on the head, but she changed

her mind. She didn't want to scold Sean in front of so many people and give them even more reasons

to make fun of them.

"Sean, it's enough. Drop it," she seethed in a low voice.

The fact that they called Rhys instead of Terence was probably the best outcome for her.

And since she heard that Terence was on vacation abroad with his fiancee this very moment, enjoying

the sweet life with his bride to be, how could she interrupt him now? After all, she had already cut him

off, out of her life.

"Carla, I have to call him now, no matter what."

Sean was so adamant that he was going to call Terence and he wasn't going to give up until he did.

"Sean, I have told you that sometimes it's better to look for peace, rather than trying to prove your

point. There's no need to win every battle. Just let it go. If we call Terence and he doesn't answer the

phone, or even worse his fiancee answered instead. We will be even more humiliated and

embarrassed by that. Do you understand?"

Carla tried to talk some sense into Sean and get him to calm down and think rationally before he acted

out on a whim. She spoke in a low tone so only Sean could hear, though she really felt like teaching

him a lesson with her fists.

But it was all in vain. Sean was not going to give up that easily. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"No way! Terence will definitely pick up the phone when he sees that it's your number. What's more,

what chance is there that his fiancee happens to pick up his phone for him,"

Sean pleaded with his sister shaking her arm.

Carla was left speechless.

The desire to teach her brother a lesson with her fists grew stronger with each passing moment. She

was so vexed with him at the moment.

"Forget it! I have already deleted his number!" Carla replied, raising her voice slightly.

"That's okay. I don't need his number. I know it off by heart,"

he said as he reached out expecting Carla to put the phone in his hand.

Carla gaped at Sean's insistence. He had overstepped the bounds of acceptable behavior. She had

never expected that Sean could be so stubborn.

Carla had daggers in her eyes. She was trying to teach Sean the proper way to act and he was going

against her.

All of a sudden a voice interrupted them.

"Sean, here you are. You can use my phone to call Terence. But put it on speaker when you do, okay?"

It was the parent of a girl, who was sitting in front of the bus. She smiled as she offered him her phone.

This woman had just added fuel to the fire. Carla was beside herself.

Looking around, she realized that the people on the bus had all been listening to her conversation with

Sean.

In other words, her conversation with Sean was not a secret on the bus at all.

Sean shot Carla a defiant look as he grabbed the woman's phone out of her hand. He knew Carla

would try to stop him, so he darted forward with the phone still in his hand before Carla could reach

him.

"Thank you!"

Sean moved away from Carla to another seat on the other end of the bus, so she couldn't distract him.

Then he began to dial the number.
