Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 156 Bonnie's First Love

Terence took her to a relatively remote club.

At first, Carla had no idea what he was up to. The spot they were in was secluded but had a great view.

So Carla began to work out what it was all about. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Soon, Bonnie appeared.

Apparently, Bonnie was waiting for someone. She took her mirror out to fix her make-up and looked

around anxiously.

"Are you sure she's not waiting for you?" Carla whispered, looking at Terence.

Who could she be waiting for if not her fiance Terence?

"Just wait and see," replied Terence. He put his arm around her waist and asked her to be patient.

Soon, a man appeared. Carla's eyes glittered at the sight of this handsome man.

Terence leaned into her ear and whispered, "Do you know what a refined rascal is? You'll see later."

Carla was impressed with the image of the man that had come to meet with Bonnie. But the thoughts

were immediately snuffed out after what Terence had said.

Seeing him coming, Bonnie seemed nervous and said, "You're here."

He was tall and lean and dressed in smart clothes. As he approached Bonnie he looked at her from

head to toe and said with a smile, "Bonnie, it's been a long time. You haven't changed a bit. You look

exactly the same as when we were in college."

It's hard to forget one's first love.

People would sometimes find themselves reminiscing of the years of their youth.

Bonnie, looked at the tall, handsome man standing in front of her in a trance. Seeing him again, the

memories flooded her with nostalgia.

"Please have a seat," said Bonnie as she heaved out a deep breath. She gazed at him across the

table. "Yves, we haven't seen each other for almost seven years, right?"

Yves nodded. There was a hint of maturity and wisdom on his young face. Other than that, he was

exactly the same Yves, that she had fallen in love with all those years ago.

"Yes, I've been abroad for years and seldom come home. I barely have any contact with any of my

former classmates," said Yves while he called the waiter over to order a bottle of red wine and several

western-style dishes.

Hiding in the corner, Carla watched the two and then looked back at Terence and asked in a low voice,

"She is your fiancee. Do you feel jealous that she's meeting another man?"

Terence raised an eyebrow at her and pinched her nose jokingly.

"Unless the woman sitting there is you, I'm not jealous of anybody," replied Terence.

Then, he lightly flicked her on the forehead, feeling annoyed at her question. "Carla, you know me. To

me, you are the only woman that I care about. I'm not interested in any other woman!"

Carla rubbed her forehead and then put her finger to her lips, gesturing for him to lower his voice.

"Okay, I know. I won't interrupt their little rendezvous."

Terence held her but still held the grudge. He felt that Carla still doubted his love for her. Was he not

being clear enough?

While having lunch, Bonnie and Yves tried to avoid eye contact. Even when their eyes met accidentally,

they would immediately shift them away.

When the meal was almost finished, neither of them wanted their time together to end.

Being with Yves made Bonnie realize how lonely she was.

Because she was the daughter of the Hua family, she couldn't indulge herself and fall in love with

another man. She was too afraid of breaking the family's agreement. She had no choice but to marry

the man that her family had wanted. Bonnie was also required to be a virgin before marriage.

Although being a virgin was an old cliche, she knew that it would make her more respected within her

future husband's family and more lovable in her husband's mind.

No matter how the times had changed, it still remained true.

She thought that being engaged to Terence would make everything better, but actually, it didn't.

She still felt lonely and insecure.

Being raised in a wealthy family with such high standards and demands left her heart empty and in

need of love.

The day before yesterday, Bonnie had a chance encounter with Yves. From that moment she felt like

there was a little ray of sunshine in her life.

It seemed that her passion had been reignited. What she couldn't get from Terence she could gain from

this man.

"Bonnie, it's still early. Shall we go upstairs and have a chat?" asked Yves reading the excitement in her

eyes.

He looked at her expectantly while he waited for her answer.

Bonnie hesitated for a second. "Okay, but I can't stay for too long," replied Bonnie with her eyes looking

down at the glass. She took a sip of the red wine, feeling agitated in her mind.

"All right, it won't take long. Come, let's go," invited Yves while standing up and pulling the chair out for

her. He carried her bag, and they walked upstairs together.

The moment they left, Carla looked at Terence and asked, "What about us? Shall we go back?"

Terence seemed calm. He rested his head on his hand and smiled at her, saying, "Of course not. It's

just about to start. You haven't seen a real sex scene yet, have you, Carla?

Well, you're about to now."

Carla stayed silent and looked at him, suspiciously. Then, she suddenly realized what he was up to.

"Terence!"

He gave her a more profound smile and blinked. "What? Remember how she treated you. I'll let her

pay for it.

I'm more human than she is. I didn't force her. This man was her first love, and they have a history. So,

it will be natural for things to happen between them."

Besides, Terence had already spiked her red wine with a little something. Bonnie was doomed to fall

into her old lover's arms again, tonight.

Carla glanced at him and asked abruptly, "But she's your future wife. You just let her be. Aren't you

worried?"

Carla didn't think it through when she blurted it out.

After all, she heard herself when Terence said that he would marry Bonnie. What he was allowing to

happen now would only hurt him in the future.

Terence turned slowly to her and gave her a cold stare that sent a shiver down her spine. It was

apparent that he was furious with her.

Realizing that she had said something wrong, Carla looked away and was about to stand up.

But Terence held her back.

"Carla, what did you say? Repeat it again!"

What she had said provoked and hurt him deeply.

Couldn't she see what he had done for her? How could she still say something like that?

How many times did he have to say that he wouldn't marry Bonnie? She just won't believe it.

"I— just thought that—you went too far. Bonnie is your fiancee. Although she did something bad to me

before, it was out of jealousy and not a big deal. Now you—"

said Carla, biting her lip.

Although Carla couldn't really bring herself to forgive Bonnie for what she had done, she actually

understood why she did it.

Terence was her fiancee, but he was having a relationship with Carla. So Bonnie acted out of jealousy

and did the wrong thing. It was understandable.

She was also a victim.

Terence's angry glare pierced through her like a sharp dagger. He grabbed her hand and squeezed

tight and said, "What did you mean? That I'm wrong? That I went too far?

The engagement was just her long-planned conspiracy. I've sacrificed a lot by agreeing to it. But she

puts you and Sean in harm's way time and time again.

And you think that I went too far? Carla, what are you thinking? I am doing all of this for you!"

Terence was truly peeved. He let go of her hand.

He thought that Carla was a reasonable woman and understood all of his efforts. But now it seemed

that she didn't.

He had done so much for her and yet she could say something like that. Her words had cut him to the

bone.

Carla lowered her head and said nothing. She squeezed her fists so tight that her fingernails made a

deep dent into the flesh of her palms.

"Carla, you know that I love you. But that doesn't mean that you can always doubt me and treat me like

that," said Terence with a bitter smile. He was heartbroken. He opened himself up to her and always

told her the truth about how he felt.

But she never really accepted him.

"Since you're not in the mood, you should go home. I'll get the chauffeur to take you back,"

said Terence frowning at her. Then he stood up and strode out the door without looking back at her.
