Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 86 Have I Gone Insane (Part One)

Terence questioned himself, 'Am I psychotic? Have I gone insane?'

He placed several cameras in Carla's home for the sake of her own safety. However, it was also one of

the worst things he could have ever done to himself since he created his own nightmare.

Every second that he watched her on the screen was agonizing. It made him just want to be with her

even more. He wanted to play with her hair, touch her, hold her and never let her go. Every time he saw

her, she looked more beautiful than before. These feelings were consuming him. 'This is too much for

me to handle. It's pure torture!' he thought, almost got insane.

Carla's words brought him back to reality,"Stop being so cheesy. Please call me by my real name,

Carla. That nickname stays with us in the past."

When Terence called her "babe", she felt an uneasy feeling in her stomach and a sense of sharp pain

in her heart. Memories and feelings of the days they lived together came rushing back to Carla. It was

only a few weeks. But to her, it felt like years.

His voice just brought back an excessive amount of unnecessary feelings that were too much for her to

handle. It torn her nearly healed wounds opened. Cold and brutal, Carla had no other choice but draw Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

this line between them.

Hearing her words were like a slap in the face. Terrence kept silent for a short while. He wanted to be

intimate with Carla, but he also knew at the current situation, the more he pushed her, the further she

would run away from him. He had some more important things to finish before he could finally take her.

Terence went into silent for a while. He sighed in acceptance and mumbled,"Very well. It's your

decision, Carla. The reason for my call was to tell you that the engagement will take place at the

beginning of next month. I think it is fair for you to know this from me."

As Carla heard the news, her throat immediately dried up. She reached out for the glass of water on

the table and took a sip but there was a huge bubble in her throat that was preventing her from

swallowing.

Her hands were shaking so badly that she had to put the glass of water down.

Terence didn't get a response from her and asked,"Carla? Are you still there? I have prepared myself

for whatever you have to say to me. Please be honest, Carla. Don't hold anything back. I don't know

what else should I say to you. I have my own reasons for doing what I'm doing. I know you don't want

to know anything about this engagement or my explanation, but maybe it was something you needed to

hear. Say something, Carla. Please."

Terence's voice sounded sad and became hoarse. He tried to hide his sigh by covering the speaker

with his hand.

"What do you expect me to say, Terence? Do you want me to say congratulations and that I am happy

for you? Or, how about this? Oh my god! Your fiancee must be an amazing woman to win your heart

over anyone else! Look at you two! You are perfect for each other! You both come from a wealthy and

powerful background. Isn't that great?" Carla exaggerated when she spoke just to cover the pain in her

voice.

Only she knew that it was hurting deep inside her heart. A long and deep silence followed her words.

Later, Carla gripped the phone slightly tighter and said,"Everything I said to you from the beginning has

happened. You knew very well that your family would never accept me even if they saw how much we

loved each other. They wouldn't care because they only want what's best for your well-being. I was

never born into a rich family but she is. I think this was probably the best decision you could have ever

made." She sighed and continued,"Terence. Can't you see? Being with her, there would be nothing to

worry about. You two have so much in common and she is just perfect for you. I am not."

Terence remained silent. Carla could hear that his breathing was getting heavier on the other side of

the line.

She waited for a response but there was only silence. A bubble formed in her throat as she said,"I have

to go. If you have nothing else to say, then good luck with everything and goodbye." Still, he didn't say

anything back. Carla decided to hang up the phone and try to process everything that just happened.

Just as she took the phone away from her ear, Terence voice raised suddenly.

"Carla, I will be in BH City tomorrow. If you are not busy, can we please meet up?." Terence pleaded

with her. He was in pain and all he wanted to do was to see her with his own eyes.

Carla hung up the phone without saying anything.

Terence saddened when he heard the line went dead. He raised his head and saw a woman walking

towards him.

"Terence? What are you still doing here? Dinner is all ready. Your father asked me to fetch you."

Bonnie pulled him close to her and rolled her arms around him. She showed him her prettiest smile and

whispered in his ear,"My darling Terence, as you know, this is my first time meeting your father. Please

don't leave me at the table alone."

Her soft voice reached Terence ear. She was extremely elegant when she spoke which made her

looked absolutly like a lady.

This was just how a woman from a wealthy background would behave--constantly smiling, respecting

the elders and having high manners.

However, for Terence, a woman like Bonnie were too perfect to be real. She wasn't his type for sure.

He was only attracted to that one specific woman who had flaws, who wasn't all about money and who

worked hard to get somewhere in life.

"Bonnie, don't be shy. My father is quite fond of you."

Bonnie blushed and tried to hide her red face by looking away. She then shifted her eyes back at

Terence and smiled shyly,"This is the first time I am meeting your family. To be honest, I am so

nervous. But, I do want to leave them a good impression though."

She pointed her pinky finger at Terrence and continued,"Let's make a promise. After we get engaged,

you have to promise me that you won't change and that you will still look after me the way you do now.

If you are mean to me in any way, I will tell both of our parents."

Bonnie pouted her lips. She had the most beautiful eyes, high cheekbones, full lips and her skin was

flawless. She looked like a Victorica secret model that had just come off the runway.

Terence halfheartedly smiled at her and said,"Of course Bonnie, I promise, everything will remain the

same. I will make my wife the happiest woman on earth and shower her with love and gifts. Like, ALL

her life."

However, Terence was thinking otherwise. 'My wife, not you.' Terence thought to himself. He hid the

sarcasm in his voice very well that she didn't even notice.

After hearing his "heartful" words, Bonnie had butterflies flying around in her stomach and her heart

was beating faster than normal. Blushing profusely, she looked at Terrence with heart-shaped eyes and

said,"Stop Terence, you are making me blush. We haven't even got engaged yet and you are already

calling me your wife. Geez, you are so sweet." Little did she know, Terrence was actually referring to

someone else.

Bonnie's perfection made Terrence nauseous. Without another word, he turned around and walked

away.
