Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 563 Godmother

"I don't need it,"

Terence responded in a calm and collected voice.

Then, he looked into the far distance while he put his hands inside his pockets. He sighed, "Rainer, can

you see yourself living in this place for four years?"

Rainer thought for a while. He then promptly shook his head and replied, "I can't. I can't even stay here

for a month, much less, a year or at worst, four. They don't have mobile connection or Wi-Fi. The only

purpose of my phone in this kind of place is for checking the time and taking photos."

Terence didn't react. His eyes remained fixated into the far distance.

"But Carla had stayed in this place for four whole years. Where had I been? Where was I when she

was suffering in here? I had been in sorrow for two years and completely forgotten about her for

another two years. What I experienced was nothing compared to what she had been through. I can't

feel sorry for myself," Terence stated with a hint of regret and self-blame in this voice.

He had left his wife and daughter to live in this horrible condition for four years.

Terence felt that he had extremely failed to fulfill his promise of protecting Carla for the rest of her life.

"Mr. Terence, please don't blame yourself. This place is isolated from the rest of the world. No one

would be able to find it without a guide,"

Rainer comforted Terence after seeing how bad he was feeling.

"Man-made and natural disasters are out of control! No matter what happened in the past and every

circumstance that came with it, the important thing right now is that Mrs. Carla is back. Sometimes,

great things come a little late, but eventually, they do come. We should look ahead rather than stay in

the past. Don't you think so, Mr. Terence?"

Terence took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

"That's true. Right at this moment, right here, I swear on all I hold dear that I am going to defend Carla

for the rest of my life!" Terence exclaimed with all the confidence that he had.

He then continued, "If I fail, then I shall follow her to the other side immediately."

When Rainer heard that, he was incredibly astounded. He cried out, "Mr. Terence, don't say that!"

The truth, however, was that no one knew what was going to happen next.

But one thing was for sure, God was very merciful, shinning his light on everyone with kindness in their

hearts. They could only be hopeful that a day like what Terence had stated would not come.

Knowing how much they loved each other, God even built a strong wall to protect them for the rest of

their lives.

The next morning, a ray of sunlight burst out through the clouds, through the windows and on Carla's

face.

"You're awake," said Terence.

Carla heard him as she started to stretch her body that was aching a little from sleep. Then, she

opened her eyes and saw Terence who was lying sideways while he was looking at her.

It looked like he had been watching her for a while from the comfortable position that he was in.

"Where is Sally?"

After a yawn, she asked while she buried herself in the comfort of his arms.

"She's already playing with her friends outside. Don't worry. Nathan and Rainer are keeping their eyes

on them. If you want to sleep more, go ahead," Terence gently said while he began to fix her messy

hair. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Carla nodded. She rubbed her face in his chest, held his waist and closed her eyes one more time.

A while later, she was finally awake. Then, she got up and looked for Sally.

After saying their goodbyes to Cathy and the others, Carla, Terence and Sally got on the helicopter that

was waiting for them.

Finally, they were on their way back home to JA City.

Although Sally didn't want to leave, she knew even at that age that they needed to go back to their own

home.

A few moments after they arrived at the Villa, Violet called.

"Carla, where were you? I haven't been able to get hold of you since yesterday!"

Violet's voice reverberated through the other side of the line. She had been worried about Carla's

whereabouts since yesterday.

"Don't worry! I'm completely fine. I just went to a village in the mountains. There wasn't any signal in

there that's why you weren't able to contact me. So, what's up? What's so important that you kept

calling me?"

Carla asked while she poured a cup of water for herself. Then, she quickly took a sip of it.

Meanwhile, Terence had been away from his work for the past couple of days. There were a lot of tasks

that he needed to take care of. He went straight to work right after they came back.

"Carla, I... I... It's hard to say it through the phone. I'm going to your place with my son right now. How

about that?"

Violet tried to talk about it, but she decided that it would be better to tell Carla in person.

Sitting on the couch, Carla smiled, "Okay, I'm home right now. Come over! I don't have anything to do

this afternoon! Our kids can meet up too!"

"Great! I'm on my way right now!" Violet excitedly responded. Carla could actually hear a commotion at

the other end of the line. She could only imagine how quickly Violet was preparing to go out.

After hanging up the phone, Carla raised one of her eyebrows and wondered if what Violet wanted to

talk about had something to do with William.

She figured that it wouldn't really be a bad thing if Violet ended up marrying the guy. If that was the

case, she would have a trusted friend in JA City and her daughter would have an excellent playmate.

It was about half an hour later when they heard the sound of a car outside the Villa.

Violet hastily came over with a little boy who looked exactly like a little William.

"Cody, come over! This is your godmother!" Violet called out to the little boy as she urged him to

approach them.

Upon hearing that title, Carla almost chocked on her drink. "Violet, when did I become your son's

godmother?"

"Oh, I see. You don't like it? That's cool. Take him as your future son-in-law then. I'm okay with that too

since son-in-law is like half a son. I don't see any difference. But, I'm completely fine with whatever you

prefer."

Violet pulled his son over and asked him to give Carla a kowtow.

Carla wiped the water on the corner of her lips and laughed, "Violet, what are you doing? It's the first

time that we're meeting each other! Are you in such a hurry to let him marry into my family?"

"Hmm... If he's going to marry into any other bride's family, I will definitely object to it. But if it was your

family, I don't have anything against it. Why don't you keep him as a 'Child Groom*'?"

TN*: Many abductions involve infant or toddler girls being taken to serve as "Child Brides" who were

sold to families desperate for daughters-in-law in a culture short of women who are in an appropriate

age for marriage. A younger boy is considered as a "Child Groom". In this content, Violet was making a

joke about her son.

Violet lightly said as she glanced at an astonished Cody who was only four years old at that time.

"Mother, are you sure you're my real mother?"

Cody asked while he gave Violet a reproachful look.

Carla laughed while she looked at this strange yet hilarious interaction of a mother and son. Then, she

called on Sally to come downstairs.

In a few heartbeats, Sally was on her way down.

Before Carla could say anything, Violet noticed Sally the second she walked out of the elevator. Her

eyes lit up when she saw Sally in a cute dress. She patted her son's shoulder and said, "Cody, look!

That's your future wife! Go and say hi to her!"

With all the commotion that his mother was making, it was hard for Cody not to look into Sally's

direction. She was in a pink and white dress. She had a little baby fat on her cheeks, and her big eyes

were bright and clear. He looked at her with so much curiosity.

For some unknown reasons, Cody suddenly felt nervous. At that moment, he really didn't know what to

say.

"He-hello, how are you? I-I'm Cody. What's your name?" The little boy struggled to get his words out.

Sally looked at this little boy who was about her age, and she noticed that he was a bit taller than her.

"My name is Sandra, but you can call me Sally," she said with a little smile.

Cody tried to say something back, but Sally walked over to Carla and said, "Mommy! Why did you

make me come down?"

"Sally, this is your Auntie Violet!" Carla picked Sally up and introduced Violet to her.

Even though they just met, Violet was already very fond of Sally. She was a bit jealous of Carla for

having such an adorable daughter. "Come over here! Let me take a good look at you!" Violet smiled

warmly at Sally while she gestured for the little girl to approach her.

A lot of mothers with a son would often feel jealous of mothers with a daughter.

Sally wasn't too shy. She walked over to Violet and sweetly said, "Whoa, Auntie Violet? You are so

pretty! But my Mommy is a tiny bit prettier than you!" Sally looked innocent as she stared at Violet in

awe.

Violet laughed out laughed when she heard Sally. She then looked at Carla and exclaimed, "Carla, your

daughter is so cute!"

She then turned her attention back on Sally and said, "Of course! Your mommy was the second

prettiest girl back in college!"

At that, Carla seemed to remember something and asked Violet, "Oh, speaking about the prettiest girl

in college, do you know how Ruth is doing right now? I remember that she used to bully you back

then."

As Violet was talking, Carla reached her hand out and signaled for Cody to come closer. When he did,

she gave him a candy.

"Oh, right. I haven't really heard anything from her. Do you know anything about her?" Carla replied.

Violet then responded with a smile on her face.
