"Got it. We'll be right there in a second!"
Nathan didn't dare to waste time asking about anything else. In fact, he thought that perhaps, the battery of the electric bicycle died out.
Meanwhile, Carla parked the bike by the side of the road and tied it to a pole using a chain.
"Give me your hand."
She looked up and saw that Terence had already climbed a slope. He had his arm reached out for her to grab.
Carla couldn't help but smile before holding on to his hand and letting Terence pull her up.
After which, Carla found out why he wanted to go there. He had found a big stone with a flat surface on top. It looked like it could fit both of them. Then, Terence took off his Italian-tailored coat and placed it atop the stone.
"It's going to be a while. Let's just sit here and wait."
Since it was already very late at night, Terence didn't want to waste any more of his energy. He just wanted to breathe and rest awhile.
Carla joined him and the moment she was settled, she couldn't help but admire the view below.
From where they were, they could see how the darkness enveloped the villages. The light from the houses looked like stars and they were even surrounded by a thick blanket of fog. The view looked so beautiful that it started to warm up Carla's heart especially as the evening air was starting to get cold.
Terence placed his arm around Carla's shoulder and put his other hand on his knee. He looked so charming while he held her in his arms as they both watched the evening view from where they were.
"Honey, I'm sorry for getting you stuck here with me."
Carla couldn't help but think that it was all her fault. She just wanted to spend quality time together but she didn't think about the consequences.
Terence pulled her closer to him and murmured with a smile, "Don't be silly. How else would I have been able to enjoy such a peaceful night if I didn't come out with you, babe?"
Then, he kissed the top of her head and continued, "If we didn't happen to be stuck here, we wouldn't have had the chance to see this wonderful view. Actually, I thought we were going to have a boring night. Instead, you gave me such a surprise. You just never fail to add color to my life, you know?"
"You're just trying to comfort me, aren't you?" Carla glanced at him and chuckled softly. Then, she lay comfortably on his chest while they listened to the dogs barking.
Terence also stared at her with a gentle smile. "I'm not. I'm just saying the truth. You are who you are, and no one can replace you. No matter what you do, you're unique and special to me. You're one of a kind, Carla. So there is no right or wrong in everything that you do."
Carla turned to look at him and met his bright dazzling eyes.
She thought that if someone were to ask her what was the warmest thing in the world, without any hesitation, she would say that it was Terence's bright eyes.
He had always looked at her with that kind of warmth and it never failed to melt her heart.
With Terence by her side, there was nothing that she was afraid of. She always felt like she was capable of doing anything when they were together.
ou up the moment I got here," Andrea said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Carla sat up and stared into the distance for a while. Even though she could converse with her Mom, truth be told, she wasn't fully awake yet. "Did Sophie say anything else?"
She was worried that Sophie would tell her mom what happened last night.
"No, she just said that you came home late and that your relationship was staying strong and that you were very happy." Andrea was confused while she looked at Carla's expression, so she asked, "Is there anything that I need to know?"
"No!" Carla exclaimed a little too loudly. Then, she got a hold of herself and said in a calmer tone, "Oh, by the way, Mom, why don't we go out today? It's a little cloudy so it's not too hot. It's a great day to go outside and roam the city. Also, according to the weather forecast, it's not going to rain today,"
Carla explained while she rubbed her head. Yesterday, Terence had asked her to come up with some places where they could go sightseeing, but she totally forgot about it.
"Sure, but what if it rains?"
Andrea looked out of the window. It was a little dark and the weather was changing dramatically.
Carla grabbed her phone to check the weather again. "It's okay. It won't rain."
She was about to open a website to search for some impressive spots nearby, only to find an unread message.
It was a message sent by Terence an hour ago.
When he arrived at the office, he had asked his assistant to list out all the great spots in JA City.
When the assistant gave him the list, he picked out two of them which was closest to their home but were still worth visiting. He then sent it to Carla.
The assistant had already made a call to the managers of the two scenic spots in advance so that Carla and Andrea could visit with ease if they choose to go there.
The AJ Group had invested in the construction of most of the scenic spots in JA City, so wherever they went, they could enjoy special treatment.
Constantly reminded by Andrea, Carla had taken her medicine after breakfast before they went out.
