Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 43 Meeting Terence's Father

"Hello, Miss Ji. My boss wants to talk to you. Are you available now? Just five minutes. You can come

back immediately after,"

said the middle-aged man who stopped in front of her.

Carla looked at him in disbelief. She thought that he must have mistaken her for someone else. She

pointed at herself and asked, "Are you sure your boss wants to talk to me?"

"Of course, Miss Ji," the man replied with a smirk.

Carla hesitated and glanced at Rainer who stood not far away from her.

Rainer stepped forward and told her in a low voice, "He is working for Mr. Terence's father. Miss Ji, be

careful!"

"Hmm. I see!" Carla was very nervous. Sean and Terence dived into the water and she was all alone.

She could see Sean wave to her excitedly in the wather.

"Rainer, take some pictures of Sean for me, will you? I'll be right back!"

After talking to Rainer, Carla glanced at Sean and left with the man.

Terence was diving in the water when he saw Carla leaving. He frowned and made a gesture to Nathan

before he left the water.

Carla was still in shock.

Did the people of the An family have super powers?

They got her information not long after she arrived. Moreover, they found her in such a short time and

came to get her in Terence's absence. How could they possibly do that?

Two bodyguards stood outside the aquarium park's cafe.

Carla came in and saw that there was only one man inside the room and he was sitting next to the

window. He was about fifty, but because of his thick hair, he looked younger than his age. At first

glance one might think that he looked similar to Terence. But when Carla looked at him carefully, she

found that they were very much different.

She had seen Terence's brother before. She realized that Rhys and his father had the same

appearance.

Terence, however, did not look as arrogant as the two of them. Terence was much more well-behaved

and elegant.

"You really are from a small, uncivilized place. You are nothing but a country girl. How dare you? You

didn't even have the decency to greet me. Did your parents not teach you the proper way of greeting

the elderly? How rude," Edmund mocked. He was making tea from a small porcelain tea pot.

"Mr. An, this is our first time meeting. I barely know you, and I only came here because of your abrupt

invitation."

Carla smiled and walked towards him confidently. She was not overwhelmed by him at all.

She thought that since she had met Terence's grandfather already, there was nothing to fear anymore.

Edmund placed the delicate tea pot on the table and looked up at her. "You are really a brave young

lady! Miss Ji, do you know why I invited you today?"

Was he challenging her?

Carla scratched her head. She felt as if she was getting a headache. The Ans were not easy to deal

with. Terence's grandfather, Nicholas, was obviously a veteran. It was unlikely that Edmund was a

soldier. However, his eyes were as sharp and strict as that of a soldier. He looked like an official with a

high position or a business tycoon who was used to ordering people around.

"As far as I know, you are a noble man. What you are thinking must be different from an ordinary

person like me. I guess you wanted to meet me because you wanted to know more about me, the

woman Terence is obviously interested in. After all, Terence is your son. Every father cares about his

son, right?"

In fact, Carla was not sure if that was indeed his intention. She just wanted to make sure that what she

said wouldn't offend Edmund. She didn't know the An family very well, after all.

Edmund picked up the tea pot and filled a cup of tea for himself. He then took a sip.

"You are right. Every father cares about his son. So, when I heard that you saved my son, I wanted to

meet you and express my gratitude in person as soon as I can," he said.

"Oh, I see. Mr. An, you don't need to do this, really. The reward your family gave me before was more

than enough..." Carla said while smiling at him.

They gave her quite a sizable amount of money before for saving his son. It was already too much.

"Miss Ji, are you really satisfied with your reward? You see, I'm a little confused. If that is the case, then

why are you here in JA City? It's very far from your hometown and yet you came all the way here. Isn't

it because you wanted more?"

Edmund looked at Carla with sharp eyes. He pretended that he was enjoying his tea.

"Mr. An, I really don't understand what you just said. Terence and I are friends. As friends, is it wrong to

visit him or go out with him?" The smile on Carla's face froze.

She should have known that this meeting wouldn't be that simple. Terence's father was really a sly

man.

This meeting was obviously a trap. He just showed her his real purpose in meeting her.

"If you are just friends, then that's fine. But my son just announced in public that you are his girlfriend.

Look at what he has done for you! He pick you up like a driver whenever you decide to tour the city. He

is even spending time with you despite his busy schedule. It's really hard for me to believe that you

really are just friends!"

Edmund still appeared gentle. However, his words were shooting at Carla like bullets. She couldn't help NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

but take a deep breath to calm herself.

"Mr. An, are you saying that I am seducing your son?

Don't get me wrong here. Your son has been seducing me, not the other way around! When I saved

him, he stayed at my home. He refused to leave even when I drove him away. Now, are you saying that

it was all my fault?

Do you really think that all the women in this world want to marry your son? Do you think that everyone

wants to join your family?

Mr. An, your son is pushing himself on me. Why are you blaming me? If there is someone who should

be complaining here then it should be me!"

Carla snapped. She didn't give Edmund a chance to say a word.

When she was finished talking, she stepped forward. She filled a cup of tea for herself and drank it.

"Mr. An, please forgive my rudeness. But you should really teach your son to behave himself. That

would be all. Thank you and Good bye!"

When she was finished, she turned around, and readied herself to leave..

However, just when she started to walk away, she saw Terence coming over from the door.

"Carla, how can you speak ill of me behind my back? Is that really what you think of me?" He said in a

low voice as he was approaching her. He grabbed her hand and took her to face Edmund once again.

"Dad, can you please tell me why you are here?" Terence asked with Carla beside him.

Edmund still hadn't recovered from the shock he got from Carla's bold statement. He also got very

angry when Terence grabbed her hand. He snorted and said, "Are you admitting it then, Terence? Are

her claims the truth?"

All this time he had thought that the girl was seducing Terence shamelessly with her tricks. But now it

seemed that his son had lost his mind and was really pursuing a low-born girl.

"Yes, it's true. Even though Carla can sometimes be a little too straightforward, she has a very kind and

friendly nature. Most importantly, I love her. It's good that you met each other today. I was planning on

taking her to meet you anyway."

Because of Terence's statement, Edmund almost choked on his tea.

"Miss Ji, can you please just give us some space and excuse us for a while? I need to talk to Terence,"

Edmund said finally.
