Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 397 Who is More Important The Child or Terence (Part One)

There was no doubt that the person was Terence.

Andrea looked at Carla, who seemed rather anxious. She let out a long sigh. How did things get to this

point? Andrea said in a helpless tone, "Callie, I'll go and talk to Terence. I'm going to tell him that you

will stay here at the moment and will go back with him days later. That will leave you some breathing

room. Also, you can both calm down. Is that okay?"

Carla nodded absentmindedly. Her mind, at that time, wasn't on the words her mom said. For lack of a

better solution, she agreed to her mom's suggestion.

She didn't think she would ever want to see Terence again. And she definitely did not want to see him

right at that moment.

If she went back with him now, then he would certainly take her and get the marriage certificate. He

would pretend like nothing was wrong and he would force her to marry him. She would have been

happy with that before. However, she wasn't in the mood to even think about marriage with Terence.

Her mind was a mess. So many different thoughts were going through her head and she was happy

about Andrea's temporary solution.

Andrea left to speak to Terence. After a while, she came back.

It was clear that the conversation she had with Terence wasn't pleasant. She walked over to Carla and

said in a gentle voice, "Callie, I talked to him. But he insisted on seeing you. It took quite a while for me

to persuade him to leave you here. I told him that he could come and see you after you have recovered

and are feeling much better."

Hearing her mother's words, Carla heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as she didn't have to see him, everything was alright. At the moment she had no idea how to

face him. She didn't know what she would say or do. Maybe after a few days, she would feel better and

muster up the courage to face him.

"Callie darling, I could tell that he was really concerned about you. His voice betrayed his anxiousness.

He obviously cares about you very much. And he sounded quite guilty. He admitted that it was all his

fault. You have every right to blame him. As your mother, you know I will always be on your side. But I

want you to keep a clear head. You should take time to calm yourself. Then you can carefully think

about what you want to do. You two have been through so much and you have made it past so many

hardships. It's not easy for you both to have such a close and intimate relationship. So I don't want to

see you give up on him so easily. The most important thing is, whatever decision you make, I don't

want you to regret it later. Think long and hard, alright?"

Andrea took a seat next to Carla and soothingly tried to calm Carla.

Carla leaned on her mom's shoulder and nodded slightly. She said in a low and weak voice, "I know,

mom. I know I can't run away forever. Sooner or later, I will have to see him. I'm just so tired right now. I

don't really want to think about anything. But I haven't thought of giving up on him. I just don't know

how to face him so I came here to be alone for a while. I want to clear my head so I can calmly think

about our future together."

"I see. That's great. I'm glad you're keeping a cool head, Callie. I was worried that you would make

rash decisions and then live with regret. You know that everybody living in the world has to go through

all kinds of things, most of which, we don't want to encounter at all. But we can't stop them from

happening. Since we are unable to, we could only cope with them rationally and bravely. You're still

young. This isn't the end of the world. There are so many things waiting in the future for you to

experience. Keep moving forward and don't give up easily."

Andrea patted the back of Carla's hand lovingly. She then said, with a big smile on her face, "There's

no great gain without a small loss. On the bright side, I didn't think that I would see you again in my

lifetime. God really blessed me. I get to spend some quality mother-daughter time with you. So I am

positive that you will also have the luck to get over any difficulty ahead of you."

Carla nodded and hugged Andrea tightly. She knew Andrea was trying to look at the bright side of

things and be cheerful for her sake. A bitter smile appeared on her face as many thoughts popped in

her mind.

Although she had lost so many things and been through so much, at least she had a mother, who loved

her sincerely and selflessly. No matter what, she had her mom by her side.

This may be the only thing she could feel happy about in the upcoming days.

"Mom, haven't they come to see you recently?"

Carla suddenly thought of something and instantly asked confusedly.

Andrea knew who Carla was referring to. Andrea slightly sighed before answering, "Noah hasn't come

by. I suspect that it's because of the things that happened between you and him. Whether he is

avoiding you or you avoiding him, it's probably for the best. As for York, I heard that he has started a

new company. So he must be busy with the company now and hasn't had time to come back.

I heard Bonnie fell in love again. This time, with a foreigner. So, she is flying out of the country to see

him. Lastly, I don't even want to talk about Tristan. He has been seen partying and clubbing

everywhere. He's drowning himself in alcohol at different bars. No matter what big events happen in the

family, he just turns a deaf ear and a blind eye."

As she was talking, her heart felt unbearable sadness. What was the point of having children? They

were scattered everywhere and didn't even care about the family.

They used to be so obedient and loving when they were young. But now that they had grown up and

had their own lives, they didn't regard the Hua family as their home anymore. What a pity!

"Since your father passed away, there has been no strong leader in the family. In the past, he used to

rule with an iron fist. They were all afraid of your father and dared not disobey him. However, as you

can see, there's no one now to strictly discipline them. They have all become runaway horses. They do

what they want to do and don't even care about me or the family anymore."

Carla could feel her mom's pain in her words. What kind of mother would be happy seeing her children

like a pile of loose sand? They held no familial affection and left the burdens of the Hua family all to

Andrea. Carla could share her mom's feelings so she held Andrea even more tightly in her arms. She

guiltily asked, "Mother, is it my fault? Are they not here because of the fact that I'm back?

So they think that they are not needed by the family anymore?"

Andrea shook her head and rebuked, "My darling girl, what are you talking about? Even if you have

come back, so what? The fact that they have been brought up by me and your father can't be changed.

If they have any filial piety, they would have shown it long ago. As such, there is no conflict between

you and them not returning. Time reveals a person's true heart. When your father was alive, they put Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

on a good show of being filial and loving. But as time passes, their true nature is revealed.
