Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 604 Abstinence For Half A Month Is Your Punishment!

Sunlight shone through the window as the next morning came.

Carla woke up and threw the bed-sheets aside. She looked at her body which was filled with marks.

She gnashed her teeth in anger and growled, "Terence! A week of abstinence is your punishment! No,

make it half a month!"

Terence, who was sleeping soundly opened his eyes slowly when he heard Carla shout something at

him. He turned towards her and asked, "Why? Wasn't I very gentle last night?"

"Gentle? Are you serious? Look at this! Look at what you did! You call this gentle?!"

Carla pointed at her neck and collarbone. "Your Highness, Mr. Terence, look at it yourself! I'm covered

in bruises! Mind telling me what kind of gentleness you meant?"

Such a hateful man. How could she show herself in public with these bruises? It was impossible for her

to wear a scarf on such a warm day like this.

After looking at her again, he saw the bruises, Terence frowned and regretted it.

He recalled that he tried to be gentle, but how could there be so many bruises on her?

It seemed that his drunkenness indeed made him do such a disgraceful thing as seen from his

behavior last night. He could not control himself at all.

"Carla, I'm so sorry. Promise me you have to stay away from me if I ever get drunk next time. Don't

even try to help me if I ask for your help,"

Terence said with deep concern in his voice, afraid he would hurt her again.

"I'll do my best to avoid getting drunk, No... I'll do my best not to drink anymore!" he proclaimed to

Carla.

He wanted to slap himself for putting her in such an embarrassing situation.

How could he have done this to her? Terence couldn't forgive himself.

Carla smiled wryly at him and she didn't know how to respond to his sudden proclamation. Yet, there

was no way she could ignore him.

In such a small room together, where could she hide? The roof?

After a brief moment of silence, somebody knocked on the door.

He kissed her forehead and gently said, "Honey, you can continue sleeping. I'll just be signing a

contract outside and it should take me around an hour." When I'm back, I'll take you out to play

around..."

"Don't! Just take your time with the contract signing. I won't be able to go out for a couple of days

because of these,"

She responded while covering her neck.

"I'll figure out something, don't worry,"

Terence looked at her beautiful eyes and promised.

He got up in his robe

and looked for clothes to change in the wardrobe. Unable to find anything to wear, he remembered that

his clothes were in the other room.

When he opened the door headed outside his room, he found Rainer guarding the doorway.

"Mr. Terence, your clothes are in the other room, but it's not appropriate for me to bring it to you..."

Rainer reported while feeling perplexed.

Terence remembered that he only took out Carla's things from the other room, leaving his baggage and

clothes in the wardrobe.

"How is everything?"

Terence asked in a low voice.

He recalled the events that happened as he didn't drink too much to black out.

"We found the agent planted in the hotel and the other person who drugged you at the gathering. They

were dealt with according to your orders.

As for the man who entered the room to replace you, he left shortly after receiving the money."

Rainer reported in detail, what had happened the night before.

"Are you sure nothing is exposed?"

Terence asked while crossing his arms on his chest.

"I'm sure, everything was done in secret. According to what our man did, he didn't give her any chance

to turn the light on. Everything happened without her knowing who it really was,"

Rainer replied.

"Great! If she found out who it was, then things wouldn't be as fun." Terence expressed in his cold

demeanor.

This was true. If she found out the truth this early, it would be impossible for him to figure out what their

true purpose was.

Turning their tricks for his own use would be fun.

Terence had a chilly smile plastered on his face as he walked towards his other room. Rainer led him

towards the doorway and opened the entrance for him.

If only Lucy had nothing to do with this, he would've treated her kindly.

He might've asked Rainer to just warn her and let her leave like this.

However, he had already found out about the truth that Lucy and Eunice joined together in order to

work against Carla. They even published that pathetic rumor in order to force Carla to leave the An

family.

Therefore, it was unnecessary for him to show the slightest iota of mercy.

They had wronged Carla first, and so they must pay the price.

Terence entered the room shortly followed by Rainer who quickly began to pack up Terence's

belongings.

"Terence?"

Waking up in the bedroom, Lucy who was wrapped in the quilt, called Terence with shyness, watching

the man who was wearing the bathrobe.

Terence seemed to be unable to hear her as he picked out his clothes from the wardrobe and just

walked out.

"Terence..."

She noticed him try to leave without even any regard for her, and so she grabbed his bathrobe without

consideration that she was naked, and begged him, "Terrence, please take me."

Terence frowned with disgust and slapped away her hand.

At this moment, he saw her as a filthy woman.

He honestly didn't feel disgust at the fact that she slept with another man.

What made him feel repulsion was that she framed Carla.

"Why are you even here?"

Terence asked with a chilly voice.

"I came here to have some fun and just happened to see you... I thought it would be necessary to say

hi, but I didn't expect that the moment I came inside, you would..."

Lucy made a far-fetched story with her head lowered and eyes twinkling, and she had no idea how to

continue with it.

With regards to the plan, she should've given the perfect excuse, but the moment she saw him, she

seemed to have forgotten everything.

However, anyone could tell what had happened from the expressions she had on her face.

"Oh? You came here to have fun? Is that right, Lucy? Do you really think that I'm that naive to trust

whatever crap comes out of your mouth?"

Terence asked while raising his eyebrows, he took one final glance at her and left the room.

"Terence... I..."

Lucy wanted to make more excuses, but said nothing in the end. She held her quilt anxiously as she

watched him leave.

She took some time to calm down before finally putting on her clothes and returning to her own room.

"Hello? Yes, I did it. But he seemed so angry, what should I do?"

Eunice could hear Lucy's uneasy voice over the phone.

Lucy thought about what happened last night. Terence was extremely skillful in bed and even came

inside her, but the only thing that bothered her was that he smelt different...

He didn't smell as good as before, in fact, he had the scent of heavy tobacco on him.

However, she was too excited to pay close attention to these details. Moreover, there wasn't much time

for her to think about these when it happened. It was her first time with Terence after all.

She didn't know what his body felt like before last night.

"What are you so worried about? Didn't you say you did it? Aren't you confident enough that you're

going to be pregnant? All you need to do now is just to be patient and wait at home. When the first sign

of pregnancy comes up, it's our time to hit them,"

Eunice answered as she pondered over the details again.

She was sure that they wouldn't fail after all the hours of careful planning spent. In her mind, they

succeeded.

As long as a man had sex with a woman for the first time, he would want to do it again and again.

If Lucy was lucky enough to get pregnant with Terence's child, she would have a better chance of

kicking Carla out of the An family.

Inside the room of the hotel, Carla took a shower and looked at herself in the mirror while sighing a lot.

That man was a tyrant whenever he got drunk.

Thankfully though, he showed a bit of mercy and made sure she would still have the strength to get up.

She rummaged through her two sets of clothes only to find out that neither of them could cover her

bruises.

Because she thought that they would only be out for a couple of days, she didn't bring that many

clothes with her.

She was in a dilemma on how to deal with this, and suddenly, the doorbell rang, interrupting her

thoughts.

"Good morning, ma'am. Mr. An asked me to send you these clothes," the waitress by the door said.

She passed Carla two bags of clothes.

She opened the bags to take a look at the contents, only to find out that there was a set of brand new

clothes, including everything from underwear to the overcoat. There was even a pair of flat shoes that

were a perfect match with the coat.

Thank God!

Carla hurriedly thanked the waitress and took the bags.

She wore the clothes in haste and then realized the style matched her.

The creamy white knit sweater with the high collar made her look more elegant. The most important

thing of it at the moment was that it could cover all of her bruises.

To match her coat, the light gray slacks were comfortable and stylish to wear, accompanied by the

seemingly perfect shoes that echoed the style of her clothing. She found that this was perfect to wear

outside.

She picked up her English inspired light gray latticed coat and put it on.

She spun around in front of the mirror, and just had to appreciate Terence's taste in fashion. This set of

clothes was extremely popular this year.

After getting dressed, Carla stuffed the rest of her clothes into the suitcase.

They would finally return to JA City after having a bit of fun, so there was no need to leave her baggage

inside the hotel.

She took some time to arrange her belongings.

Terence finally came back just as she finished up.

"Honey, are you ready to go?"
