Terence grabbed her arm to stop her. "No, You do deserve it and we can surely continue this relationship." It felt as if someone ripped his heart out of his chest, threw it on the floor and stomped on it.
He walked towards Carla and put his hand on her shoulder to give her reassurance. "I swear, Bonnie means nothing to me. You and my grandfather are the only people that mean the world to me."
Bonnie was nothing compared to Carla.
No matter what Carla chose to do, Terence would stick by what he said. He vowed to never give up on her and never let her go.
Carla attempted to push Terence away, saying, "Please stop. Don't be ridiculous. If you hurt her or mess with her in any way, you know her father will come for you. Trust me, they will haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never have peace if you stay with me.
I know your marriage is only because of the money. If there was no money involved, there would be no engagement."
Terence grabbed Carla and embraced her tightly. She tried to break free but he was stronger than her and held her even tighter. He looked down at her and kissed her forehead. "Please don't punish me. I want you and only you.
When I look at you, I can see our future. I dream about you every night. You know you can see our future too. Don't deny it. You put up this wall to protect yourself and try to shove me out. What do you want from me, Carla?
I know I have issues. Everybody does. Most of this is my fault, but I'm not afraid to admit it. I will make it up to you, I promise. I will prove to you that I am worth it and that I can protect you and Sean." He lifted her chin with his hand and gently pressed his lips on hers. "Carla, I made a lot of mistakes but you definitely weren't one of them. Please forgive me. Will you give me another chance to prove myself?"
Terence grabbed her hand tightly, lifted it to his face and slapped himself with her hand.
He continued to slap himself over and over again, not stopping.
The sound of the slapping echoed through the room.
Carla didn't want to hurt him and couldn't bear to see him getting hurt. She yanked her hand from him and managed to break free from his grip.
"That is enough Terence!" she shouted.
Terence carefully took her hand and gently kissed her red palm. He didn't care that his cheeks were burning.
He could have slapped himself, but using her hand seemed t
ked at Carla at the restaurant. Now she knew something wasn't right, as she was starting to put all the puzzle pieces together.
When she was bullied, Terence just asked her to stop horsing around and get Theo and Ivy to take her to the hospital.
'What happened when I was gone?' she thought to herself.
Bonnie's mind was chaotic. She rubbed her hair into a mess, murmuring to herself, "I can't panic now."
What would happen to her even she hurt Carla's brother? Terence hadn't come to confront or blame her.
That was to say, she still held a special place in his heart.
Even if she made a mistake, Terence would just forgive her and let it go.
Burton bowed his head and patiently said, "Miss Bonnie, we are in JA City. This is not our territory. You should be more careful. If anything is held against you, it will ruin your engagement with Mr. Terence. It will be a great loss for everyone."
He watched Bonnie grow from a little girl into a charming lady. In the Hua family, everyone sought benefit for his own sake, so he had to look out for Bonnie.
Bonnie nodded. She already had a plan in her mind. "I know. It would be silly to act dumb if Terence already knows everything.
Burton, please arrange the car. I'm going to see Terence and apologize to him."
Considering what Carla had done to her, it was only fair for her to take revenge.
If she took the initiative to apologize, it would only prove her innocence.
Burton nodded, feeling satisfied. "Brilliant, Miss Bonnie. I have heard that Mr. Terence is in his Seaview Villa. I will arrange the car immediately."
