Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 120 It Was All Your Fault!

Terence's eyebrows rose into a perfect furrow. He figured out the whole story in a moment's pause.

It was Bonnie who was responsible for everything.

Bonnie wanted to retaliate against Carla, and she found out that Carla had a brother, Sean. She didn't

have any connection at Sean's school, so she arranged a plot to set Sean up in the name of Terence.

Suddenly Carla broke away from Terence's embrace and shoved him away.

She was trembling with rage, staring at him with tears flowing from reddened eyes.

Now, she had known it all.

Even though it seemed that she was the winner yesterday, her little brother suffered its consequence

today.

To make matters worse, Bonnie was aware that Carla didn't have a strong background or influence in

JA City. Hence, she obviously just took advantage of her fiancé's influence to hurt Sean!

Regardless of whether Terence knew it or not, he was the origin of the chaos.

Sean glanced at Terence and Carla, seemingly unaware of what had just happened between them. He

looked innocent and naive as usual. Why was his sister so furious?

"Mr. Cameron, will I be dismissed and sent to BH city? Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

I swear I didn't hurt anyone! I just helped the younger pupil get up when I saw him falling to the ground.

I didn't hurt him! Will I be dismissed for helping someone?"

Sean asked abruptly after a long, awkward silence. This was what concerned him the most.

He considered himself as a man even though he was still a child. Hence, he didn't want to be mistaken

as a bully. Moreover, the education quality in this school was very good, and he didn't want to ruin the

opportunity because of a single mistake.

He wanted to grasp the opportunity of a better education desperately for the sake of his future.

His innocent remarks went through as a stab to Carla's heart. He didn't deserve this!

"Sean, it doesn't matter. We don't have to stay here! We can go to other schools! Let's return to BH city,

okay? At least nobody will bully us there!" Carla tried to comfort him. She wiped away her tears and left

the office with Sean as she gave Terence a cold glare.

After they left, Terence stared at Cameron with eyes that depicted burning fury.

"Who told you about this plan? Show me the CCTV footage NOW! And, find out all the students who

beat Sean. Publish an announcement that mentions their misbehavior and dismiss all of them!

Nobody shall lay a finger on Sean, not even my father! Do you understand?

And the last one, you. You are such a mean rat. How can you be a teacher and teach these innocent

children?" Terence snapped.

Cameron was literally bathing in sweat as he heard Terence scolding him. He kept bowing and nodding

as he replied, "Yes! Yes! Mr. Terence, I'll do as you say. I'll resign after the issue is dissolved and I

promise I won't appear in this school anymore! You can rest assured of it!"

Cameron was a smart man and he knew how to make the right choice at the right time. He had already

displeased Terence, and he knew that a mild punishment could prevent extravagant losses in the

future.

After hearing that, Terence put on his sunglasses and turned around in order to leave the office.

When he arrived at the apartment, Carla was packing her stuff. She appeared to not be bothered by his

arrival and chose to entirely ignore him.

"Sean, things are all set now. You can return to school tomorrow! Nobody will dare to bully you or drive

you away to BH City anymore,"

Terence caressed Sean's hair and said. He sighed in his heart, 'Sorry, Sean.

It's all my fault!'

"Really? Terence, are you serious? That's great!"

Sean was overjoyed after he received Terence's confirmation. But he shot a concerned glance at Carla,

who was still packing her stuff, indifferent to the news, and pleaded, "Terence, can you help me

persuade my sister?"

"Sure," Terence nodded. He patted Sean's shoulder and said, "Good boy. Go back to your room. I'll talk

to your sister and convince her."

Sean nodded cautiously and returned to his room.

Terence stared at Carla, frowning.

He called for her in a soft voice, "Carla..."

He knew that she was hot-tempered. And, since the things that happened today were indeed his fault,

she had every reason to be mad at him.

Carla ignored him again. She bowed and folded her clothes on the bed. The clothes that she was

planning to carry home were all her own. She left all Terence's gifts here.

"Carla, I know, I am responsible for the things that happened to Sean. But I didn't know anything

beforehand. Bonnie took advantage of our relationship. You know me well, right? How can I let

anybody hurt Sean?"

Terence explained. Even though these explanations were not enough to demand her forgiveness, he

didn't know what else he could do.

Honestly, he felt heartbroken and helpless at the moment.

Why was God playing with his life?

He had tried everything he could to show Carla his love, and finally she was touched and confessed

her love to him. She had already agreed to continue a relationship with him, but now this incident had

to occur

at this critical moment!

"Carla, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Terence breathed a sigh.

Carla continued what she was doing without even caring to render a glance at him. "You don't need to

apologize to me. I asked for it! If I hadn't offended your fiancée before, and let her do whatever she

liked to me, my brother wouldn't have suffered this!

At the end of the day, it's my fault and it has nothing to do with you!"

Carla stated coldly and shut the suitcase with all the strength her arms could muster.

"Carla, she and I are different. I had no idea of what she was capable of. But now, I've discovered her

true colors. She was so cruel and ruthless to hurt a child. The Hua family are certainly hooligans."

Terence stared at her as he spoke. Seeing that Carla remained unmoved, he lowered his head and

apologized profusely, "Carla, this is really my fault. I'm so sorry! Please accept my apology. You can

curse me or hit me, but please don't stay mad at me, okay?"

Carla breathed a long sigh. She straightened herself up and gave him a snort of contempt.

"Mad at you? If you think I'm leaving only because I'm mad at you, then you are underestimating me.

Moreover, you've never understood me. That saddens me the most now. If I continue to stay here, I'm

being irresponsible to both Sean and myself," she blurted out coldly.

Terence chose to remain silent perhaps because he didn't have anything to reply with. After a while, he

eventually broke the eerie silence that prevailed around them and asked, "Why would you say that?"

"Why? I'm asking you now, what are you going to do after this attack on my brother? Are you going to

have your men give Bonnie a good spanking?" Carla questioned him as she approached him and

looked directly into his eyes.

Terence didn't say a word, but maintained the eye contact.

"No. You won't do anything to her because she is your fiancée. What if it happens again?" Carla's eyes

were full of tears, and her words were as sharp as a knife. "What if your fiancée gets to know about our

relationship, and decides to hurt us even more? Will you able to guarantee our safety?"

Carla couldn't imagine what they would have to face if it happened again. Would Sean lose his hand or

foot, or perhaps even his life, the next time?

"Bonnie has shown me how merciless and cruel she could be by hurting a young child. Undoubtedly,

she is capable of doing anything to me and my family!"

As words kept coming out of her mouth, Carla couldn't help shedding tears. She sneered, "Terence, I

didn't realize how reckless and stupid I was, until this moment.

It turns out that my instinct was right all this while. I should stay away from you! See, whenever I get

close to you, I'll get in trouble!"

Carla lowered her head and wiped her tears using the back of her palm. She trembled as she

continued, "Terence, I give up not because I'm not perseverant or brave enough.

I give up because I can't take this risk! I don't have any influence or power, which means anyone here

can bully me!

I know you like me, and I admit that... I like you even more. But it doesn't change anything! I'm

vulnerable and so is Sean. I've to take utmost priority to our safety."

Carla complained, feeling the tears running down her cheeks. "You treat me so well. You are gentle and

kind. Moreover, you are handsome and rich. Any girl in my position would fall in love with you!

It is no surprise that I love you."

She stopped abruptly. She couldn't find any more strength inside her to continue. She had gone numb

with pain, both physical and emotional.

Terence frowned and stared at her. Tears started to gather in his eyes.

He didn't dare to touch her right now, fearing that she was too fragile to bear it. He was unsure of how

she'd react.

"Terence, my life can't stand any risks like this, nor can Sean's. So... Sorry, I can't continue this

relationship!"

Carla looked up and said, as though knocking a final nail on to the coffin.

She stared at him through her teary eyes and her voice trailed, in unbearable pain.
