Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 312 Don't Go And Just Stay With Me (Part Two)

Carla had just finished eating. She put down her chopsticks, then wiped the corner of her mouth with a

tissue. She turned to Terence who was sitting beside her and hesitated before saying, "Terence, there's

something I'd like to talk to you about..."

After calling Sophie to come in and clear away the dishes, Terence sat down and looked at Carla. He

could tell that she was nervous so he patiently waited for her to speak. But Carla hesitated for a long

time. She didn't know how to tell Terence or where to start.

"Have you decided what to do?"

Carla was stunned when she heard Terence's question. She slowly looked up and turned to him.

"Y-you knew?" she asked.

Terence frowned and let out a sneer. To contain his emotions, he clenched his fists firmly. Ignoring her

question, he asked instead, "Carla, do you know what it means to be engaged to Noah?"

Carla bit her lip and took a breath before saying, "Terence, please let me explain. My engagement with

Noah is temporary. You know that you're the only one that I love.

Allen had just passed away so the Hua family is in chaos. And since I'm now part of the family, I should

share at least some of the burden as any sensible family member would do."

She paused for a while, trying to perceive Terence's reaction. Then, she continued, "Noah has

promised me that he will cancel the engagement as soon as everything in the family's state of affairs is

in control."

The moment Carla's voice had faded away, Terence earnestly glared at her and stated in a low, husky

voice, "Carla, do you think it's that simple?

Do you think Noah will let you go so easily once you get engaged to him? If you really believe that, then

you are being too naive."

If one looked closer, it was clear in her bright eyes that she felt a little confused. Carla shook her head

before responding, "I didn't think about that. I only thought that it's just an engagement, not a wedding.

He can't force me to push through with the wedding if I don't want to."

Terence got up and sat beside Carla. He grabbed her hand slowly. Then, he said, "Carla, do you really

know him that well? You don't know what he's capable of. He already found a way to force you into this

engagement. Do you think that he wouldn't find a way to coerce you in getting married to him?

Have you forgotten that you belong to me? How could you do this to me? How could you just let me

see you marry another man? It's really cruel of you to put me in this position! How could you make me

suffer from these thoughts and feelings of losing you?"

Terence tried really hard to remain calm but the more he spoke, the more his emotions ran wild.

Unconsciously, he had grabbed Carla's hand so tightly that she felt like her arm would fall off any

minute.

As she stared at Terence whose emotions were out of control, Carla pulled away from his grip. She

immediately hugged him on the waist and exclaimed, "Terence, I won't marry him. I won't! Please,

believe me, okay?"

With his eyebrows deeply furrowed, Terence removed her hands and turned her around so he could

look at her directly.

"Carla, look at me!" he screamed when she turned her head away and refused to look at him.

He continued, "I'm telling you now that once you get engaged to Noah, it would mean that you're no

longer my girlfriend and no longer my woman. Have you thought about every single consequence that

will be brought about by that?

Have you really made up your mind?"

The truth is that there's no guarantee in the world that they live in. Once a choice was made, one must

live with its repercussions.

Carla could only shake her head desperately before saying, "No, Terence, I don't want to be separated

from you. I don't want this."

"Really? If so, then you don't need to go back to HA City. Don't get engaged to Noah. Just stay here

with me! If you choose to be with me, only then can no one even dare to hurt you." Terence furrowed

his eyebrows deeper while he emphasized on his every word. Then, he held her tightly in his arms.

"Carla, you know that I can't live without you. I found out about it since a long time ago.

Do you know how unfair it would be to me if you got engaged to him?" he asked, now in a softer tone.

While still shaking her head, Carla looked up at Terence. Tears uncontrollably poured from eyes. She

lowly stated, "But I promised Allen on his deathbed..."

"So what? The Hua family had never contributed anything in your life. Not even a single day had they

been with you. You owe them nothing. And now, they're asking you to give up your choice in marriage.

Carla, don't be soft-hearted. You shouldn't be influenced by them. They're not worth it. Listen to me and

stay with me!" Terence exclaimed. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

While wiping her tears, Terence said, "Even without the Hua family, Sean and I will be with you. You

need to be very clear about what's important to you in your own mind."

'It doesn't matter whether Carla returns to the Hua family or not. After all, she has lived a happy life with

her little brother for so many years.

Besides, I have never cared about her status or her family background in the first place. I only love her

and want to stay with her forever, ' Terence thought to himself.

Listening to Terence, Carla got more and more distressed. Tears continued to stream down from her

eyes. At that moment, there were two voices telling her two different things. One told her that she

should just listen to Terence, while the other said that she should keep her promise. Then the two

voices began to raise their voice at each other, which only created a turmoil in Carla's head. For that

reason, she couldn't calm down and think about the matter clearly.

She thought about a lot of things while a lot of memories flashed through her mind. She thought about

the moment when Andrea and Allen pleaded her to do what they wanted.

She thought about what Noah said to her...

Carla knew herself very well. She loved Terence and didn't want to lose him. She couldn't even imagine

not being with him.

Because without Terence, she didn't know who she was or what she was going to do with her life. She

would be completely lost.
