Chapter 135 Terence The Good Actor (1/2)

”Carla! ”

Sean screamed.

Carla had already tumbled to the ground. She was wincing in pain as she held her ankle gingerly. Carla glanced at Sean signaling for her brother that she was all right and to stop screaming. There were only two steps left, so how bad could she have gotten hurt?

Then she looked across and saw that Terence and Bonnie were walking towards her.

”Err— I'm fine. My brother finished his homework and insisted that I come down with him. I'm sorry to disturb you,”

she said as she waved at them. Carla got up quickly and hobbled on her injured ankle hurriedly into the elevator with Sean.

”Terence—”

Bonnie held on to Terence's arm as he was about to stride over to the elevator. Her beautiful eyes gazed at him and she said in a soft voice, ”Terence, I'm your fiancee. If Carla can stay in your home, surely I can as well. Can't I?”

Terence looked down at her hand that was stopping him from going to Carla. A shadow of darkness flashed through his eyes, making it hard for others to figure out what he was thinking.

”Bonnie, your being my fiancee is exactly the reason why you couldn't stay here. You are different from other women—

... I'll have someone take you back.”

Then, Terence broke loose from her hold and without explaining any further to her, he called the driver.

After that, he turned on his heels and briskly walked into the elevator.

Bonnie stood rooted to the spot as she helplessly watched Terence leave. She felt desolate and miserable in her heart. She was his fiancee, but Terence still wouldn't touch her in a way that lovers do.

Nonsense!

Her brother had said, that if a man didn't want to touch a woman even if he could, it could only mean one of two possibilities, that either he didn't love her or he loved her too much.

It was obvious what Terence felt about her.

Bonnie had planned to leave with the driver. However, curiosity got the better of her.

She wanted to see for herself how Terence had behaved with Carla when she wasn't there.
