Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 292 I Want To Take A Shower!

Carla couldn't believe that Noah would want to hurt her. She blinked her clear eyes, looked at Terence

and tried to figure out the meaning behind his words.

She thought, 'When the accident happened, the airbag on Noah's side opened but mine didn't. Terence

meant that it was not just a normal accident, so there was only one possibility left.

It could only be that Noah wanted to kill me.

But, I don't think...' Carla stopped her thoughts instantly.

She didn't want to believe that Noah would want to hurt or even kill her.

"If it wasn't that, then what else?" Terence asked her.

He pulled her close to him and gently caressed her injured leg with one hand. He said, "Carla, don't be

too kind. Think about this. Once, you return to the Hua family as their only legitimate heir, who will be

threatened the most?"

Terence paused for a while, trying to see Carla's reactions. Then, he continued, "If you didn't show up,

who would be most likely to inherit everything that the Hua family has?"

Carla rubbed her temples, turned her head to look at him, and then said, "I know what you mean. But

I'm still reluctant to believe that Noah would hurt me. He had saved me in HA City before."

Carla didn't want to believe what Terence had just said. She continued, "If he wanted to hurt me, why

would he risk his life to save me?"

Carla was very confused so she tried to figure out all the information that she had. She thought, 'If

Noah wanted to kill me, why wouldn't he just let me die at that time? If he had already killed me earlier,

he could have avoided a lot of things from happening.'

"Everyone has a tendency to be indecisive especially with a lot of internal and external factors. But

what will keep them consistent from the beginning to the end is a purpose. Noah is an ambitious man.

Your return directly threatens his position and interests. He would stop at nothing to get you out of the

way,"

Terence explained with a sigh.

He knew that Carla hadn't met such cruel things like this before. She was also kind, so she would

naturally doubt what he had just said.

However, he wouldn't allow his woman to be hurt by others anymore.

So he would finally let her see Noah's true nature, bit by bit.

He would show Carla that Noah, who she regarded as a kind brother, was a vicious fox and not a

gentle sheep.

"Let's stop talking about these unfortunate things. Hurry up and eat the soup!" Terence said.

He picked up the bowl on the table, took the spoon and started to feed her. He held up a spoonful

before her mouth.

Carla agreed not to talk about Noah anymore. She opened her mouth to take the spoonful of soup.

Then, she saw Terence pick out a delicious meat bone from the bowl and gave it to her.

He said, "If you just eat the stew, you'll be hungry really soon. The meat is also nutritious. Eat it!"

He thought that she should have more nutrients in her body. He didn't know if she had a good meal or

sleep during the days when he was not with her.

Of course, Carla wouldn't restrain herself in front of him. She took the meat bone from the spoon that

Terence was holding, sniffed it and couldn't help but munch on it immediately.

"You should also eat some..." Carla said while

her oily mouth turned into a smile. Then, she stretched her arm to raise the bone to his thin lips.

Terence tilted his lips and looked at her eyes with a smile. Just when he was about to shake his head,

Carla stuffed the bone into his mouth.

When she saw that he only licked the bone, Carla smiled widely. She couldn't help but purse her oily

lips and kiss the man who she hadn't seen for several days.

"Carla..." Terence whispered.

Then, he touched his oily face that she had just kissed. Carla laughed loudly while she watched him be

disgusted with the oil on his face. When he realized that Carla was laughing at him, he couldn't help but

laugh as well. Then, he wiped her face with his oily hands and said with a snicker, "Okay, just laugh at

me. Let's see how long your laugh can last."

Carla immediately stopped laughing and concentrated on eating the meat bones.

It was not until all the bones in the bowl were gnawed away that she put them on the table and began

to drink soup.

As a matter of fact, only when she was with Terence could she do whatever she wanted without being

mindful of her own image. Only when they were together could she be the real her.

She felt extremely natural and comfortable whenever she was with Terence.

She had been very restrained while she was in the hospital for the past days. After all, Noah and

Andrea were outsiders in her eyes. She wouldn't act so casually in front of them.

She had to behave appropriately in front of others.

She was indeed very outgoing. But, at the very least, she knew the basic etiquette that a woman

should have.

Terence raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile. As a matter of fact, she still acted really

proper and ladylike during her first days of stay in the An's mansion. But whenever she was alone with

Terence, she always behaved casually and didn't care about anything like etiquette and personal

image.

In reality, it was exactly her unabashed manners whenever she was with him that he liked. Because

only then could she be so free, which proved how close and intimate they were.

When Terence noticed that Carla had finished the soup, he asked, "Are you full?"

"Yes!" Carla exclaimed while she nodded.

She took the tissue and wiped her mouth with it. Then she looked at Terence with pleading eyes and

pointed to the bathroom while she said, "I want to take a shower. Can you help me?

For the past days, I just wiped my body in the hospital because my leg can't get wet. I had been

longing for a comfortable hot bath..."

Terence looked at her and knew that she would be unable to take a bath by herself. He deliberately

gave her a snicker and said, "Okay. But if I help you, you should pay me something..."

Carla knew what he meant by that so she rolled her eyes before saying, "Well, I don't need your help

then. I can do it by myself."

After which, she got up from the sofa looking upset. She took the phone and called Sophie so she

could come in to take away the bowl.

After the call, she began to complain, "Oh poor me! It's true what they say! When you're ill, that's when

you can see who is really sincere and kind to you! It's really uncomfortable to let others help me in

taking a bath while I was in the hospital. I thought I could finally do whatever I wanted when I came

back. I didn't expect..."

However, before she could finish her complaints, Terence lifted her up to his chest again, and then

placed her down on the sofa.

"Sit down for a while. I'll help you prepare a bath!" he exclaimed.

Then he pinched her face with a smile before walking towards the bathroom.

She lay on the sofa and stared at Terence's retreating figure. Then she smiled in satisfaction. She was

then taken back to those days when he was injured. At that time, she also did her best to take care of

him.

She thought, 'Now, it's his turn to take care of me!'

Dozens of minutes later, Terence hadn't come out yet. She began to think about all the possible

reasons why he was taking so long.

After a while, Terence finally came out of the bathroom. He walked towards Carla and then carried her

into the bathtub. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

As soon as she was in the tub, she finally realized why he had been in the bathroom for so long.

She noticed that there were a strong hook and a boat-shaped cloth belt hanging just above the bath tub

which could allow her to hang up her injured leg to avoid being soaked.

In that way, she could take a bath as long as she wanted.

It took her a few moments before she could say softly, "Terence, thank you for all that you have done

for me."

Terence was helping her wipe her arm when she suddenly grabbed his hand. He turned to look at her

only to find that she was looking at him affectionately.

He even installed handrails throughout the villa just so it would be convenient for her.

She knew those handrails could be removed later, but they were very inconvenient for others even if it

was just for a short period of time.

"Do you want to know what you could do to properly thank me?" Terence asked. When Carla didn't say

anything, he continued, "Okay, I'll give you a suggestion. Marry me as soon as possible. I like to be

practical. If you just keep on thanking me, I would think that you're not sincere. You should do

something."

Then he poked her face with a smile and the white bubbles on his hand immediately went to her face.

"Grandpa has yet to find out that you're the biological daughter of the Hua family. And he had urged me

to marry you for so many times already these past few days. He said that the situation of our family is

relatively stable now and he wants me to get married and have children as soon as possible," Terence

narrated.

Then, he added, "Grandpa also said that he would be happier if I had a shotgun wedding."

He lifted his sleeve and helped her scrub her hands.

"Are you telling me that you want to marry me just to make Grandpa happy?" Carla mockingly told him.

She grabbed a handful of bubbles and blew at them hard. She laughed even more when the white

bubbles immediately flew to his whole body.

Terence waved his hand to fend off the soap bubbles. He stared at her with a smile and then said,

"Nonsense. Who do you think will be the happiest when we hold our wedding?"

When she didn't answer him, he continued, "I just think it's the right time for us to hold the wedding.

When the issues in the Hua family subsides a little, I will go to your home and ask for your hand once

again," Terence stated.

While he spoke, his hand quietly reached into the bathtub.

Meanwhile, Carla was a little distracted. She was worried because Terence didn't know yet that she

was going to be engaged to Noah, if he knew that...

"Ah!" Carla shouted.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted and then she stared at the man in front of her.
