Chapter 50 The Party At The Seaside


    After hearing all the things that Terence had said, Ca was at such a loss for words that she was


    fuming with intense rage.


    All she wanted to do was to teach her brother a simple lesson, but for what stupid reason did Terence


    suddenly start talking about their future baby from out of nowhere?


    "It looks like we''re going to end up being strict parents in the future. Basically, I think it would be for the


    best if one of us acts strictly with our children," Terence chattered as he grabbed the game controller


    and sat down with his legs crossed beside Sean.


    Even though Ca had just kept silent as he babbled on, she was actually already feeling a bit


    exasperated.


    First of all, they weren''t even married yet, so why the heck would Terence start bbering about having


    a baby? With all these thoughts in Ca''s mind, she just surmised that he could''ve just been


    fantasizing a lot and all of it was just caused by his delusions.


    At that moment though, Sean blurted out something stupid that just made her much more irritated than


    she already was.


    "Terence, I prefer being around boys more than girls. So if by the time the two of you finally get married


    and have a son instead of a daughter in the future, then I would be able to go out and y with him. If


    that ever really ends up happening, that would surely make me a lot happier!" Sean remarked as he


    was having a great time ying a game. After all, it was not often that he''d have an older brother figure


    who he could y with.


    Throughout his childhood, Sean had always preferred ying with boys his age rather than girls,


    thinking that it would be harder to get along with girls and that he''d have a better time if he hung out


    among the boys.


    "Sure! That''s a great idea. However, it doesn''t really matter much to me whether your sister will give


    birth to a baby boy or a baby girl. I will be sure to love him or her unconditionally nheless," Terence


    responded while having a good time ying with Sean and also casting a nce at Ca who was


    desperately trying to contain her anger.


    "Well, if ever you end up having a son, what would you like to name him?" Sean pried ever further.


    That ended up being the final straw. Ca just couldn''t take it any longer, so she sprung up and went to


    open the balcony''s door so she could take a breath of fresh air outside.


    With Sean and Terence on her mind, she wondered what kind of people would think too far ahead and


    n as if it would be set in stone.


    Upon reaching the balcony, Ca immediately gasped for fresh air. She, just then, came upon the


    sudden realization that her brother had been steadily getting along more and more with Terence, and


    that this had started deeply bothering her.


    They had been cooperating so well with each other, especially when it came to ying tricks on her in


    order to annoy her. In fact, they''ve actually been able to pull it off more and more smoothly than ever


    before.


    When Ca was somehow finally able to calm herself down and get herself to rx, she happened to


    chance upon a beautiful woman waving at her on a beach not far away.


    "Ca!" Heading toward Ca, Megan promptly asked her, "What''s the matter? Why did you all


    suddenly hide yourselves from me as soon as you saw mee here acting as if I''ve ruined the


    pleasant atmosphere you have been having?


    I think you''ve already had enough time to rest and you''re not feeling tired anymore. The weather feels


    perfect today, so why don''t we alle outside and go for a swim?"


    Gazing at Megan who was wearing such a sexy yellow swimsuit, Ca couldn''t hold back herughter,


    thinking that this woman was beginning to get really devious with her tactics.


    It was barely a few moments ago when Megan told her she wanted to y on the swing and Ca let


    her do as she pleased. Now, she had suddenly changed her outfit and worn an eye-catching swimsuit,


    about to head toward the beach.


    What had gotten Ca most surprised was that Megan had suddenly taken a 180-degree turn,


    changing her attitude very quickly and being all too friendly toward Ca now, acting as if she had not


    said all of those demeaning words and rude remarks to her yesterday.


    "What do you say? Would you like to join me?" Megan moved even closer toward the balcony and


    yelled at Terence who was so busy ying a video game with Sean, "Terence! Come out and have


    some fun. You''ve been staying inside for too long. Come over here to y with me!"


    When they were somewhat done ying games, Terence proceeded to go to the balcony and nce


    toward Megan.


    Having such an alluring figure, Megan swung her slender waist and yfully winked at him. "Terence,


    already decided toe along with me. And besides, since I''ve especiallye here just to visit you,


    you can''t just simply go and ignore me like that.


    If you refuse to go for a swim with me, I will make sure that your father hears about it. I believe he will


    have my back and that he''ll be siding with me on this one."


    After saying those words, Megan pouted her lips at him.


    Terence took a quick nce at Ca and asked bewilderedly, "Is that true? Did you really agree to


    actually go swimming with her?"


    Letting out a little chuckle, Ca responded in an instant, "Well, it seems that someone has taken the


    liberty of agreeing on my behalf."


    After quietly remaining still momentarily, Terence finally said, "Okay. Wait right there. I''ll just go and


    change my clothes. I won''t take too long."


    About twenty minutester, Ca and Sean headed downstairs together after getting changed.


    However, when they finally got to the seaside, Ca was stunned and couldn''t believe her eyes.


    She had actually mistakenly thought before that they would just simply being there to y and go


    for a swim.


    But as soon as sheid eyes on the people and the equipment present at the beach, she found out that


    what she was thinking about just now was a severe understatement.


    Around the swimming area stood five tall, intimidating, and strong-looking bodyguards who all wore the


    usual ck sunsses and loose ck swimming trunks. There were sunshades, beach chairs,


    towels, drinks, and other essentials by the shoreline, and a few of the servants were surely responsible


    for bringing all those stuff.


    It was clear as day how thorough they were whenever it came to protecting Terence and ensuring his


    safety.


    Lounging on the beach chair and wearing a pair of expensive-looking sunsses, Megan weed


    Ca and Sean the minute she saw them arrive at the beach.


    Terence, covered with a white bath towel walked toward them. Noticing that Ca was covered-up with


    a thin, sun-protective coat, he teasingly said, "Well, what do we have here? We''re here to go for a


    swim, but why did you have to put so many clothes on? You weren''t even wearing that much clothes


    ''Who, in their right mind, would ever wear a sun-protective coat at night?'' Ca thought, getting a bit


    annoyed, and then took off the sunhat. Upon giving Terence a cold stare, she slowly unbuttoned her


    thin floral coat, took it off, and then tossed it onto the beach chair she had been using.


    At the sight of Ca''s captivating figure and even-toned skin, Terence instinctively put on a straight


    face. The lighting wasn''t that goodst night, so he wasn''t really able to fully take a closer look, but


    now, he could see her much clearer under the sunshine.


    Her skin was very delicate, tender, and white, and she surprisingly had an attractively curvaceous body,


    too, which surprised Terence. It simply exceeded his expectations, by a lot.


    "On second thought, I think it would be much better for you to put your coat back on. After all, you won''t


    be affected by it that much even when you''re swimming anyway," he immediately uttered, seeming to


    be in a bit of a panic, picking up Ca''s coat and wrapping it around her.


    In that brief second, he became fully aware that he wasn''t the only man on the beach. There were also


    Nathan, Rainer, and other bodyguards present.


    Thus, he wanted to protect Ca from their gaze and keep her enticing figure all to himself.


    Ca was a tad perplexed and puzzled over why Terence suddenly asked her to put clothes on again


    just moments after teasing her earlier just because she was wearing a thin coat. ''What could possibly


    be going through his mind?'' she wondered.


    Megan, who was pretending to mind her own business while lying on another beach chair, reflexively


    bit the drinking straw she had been sipping in quite hard, getting so irritated after peering on Ca


    through her sunsses. ncing at her own skin, which also looked outrightly fair, she could easily tell


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    that it still seemed somewhat inferior to Ca''s.


    Who would''ve thought that a woman like her whose job was to deliver food to customers on a daily


    basis—most times riding her motorbike under the intense heat of the sun—would possess skin so


    white and velvety? Having that in mind, Megan was extremely baffled, wondering how Ca''s skin had


    not be rough and dry even though she stayed almost all the time, with her skin exposed to the


    heat of the sun and dust from the wind.


    In fact, Ca''s skinplexion was much too differentpared to the other members of her family.


    She had been born with delicate white skin which didn''t tan easily.


    "By the way, have you already applied sunscreen? Would you like me to help you apply it on your


    back?"


    Terence thoughtfully asked, worrying that his woman might get a sunburn.


    However, Ca simply scowled at him in disgust.


    "As a man, don''t you think you''re being too overbearing? Why don''t you just go mind your own


    business?"


    Terence responded in a dull tone, "I''m just concerned about you. It''s for that reason and no other. You


    haven''t stayed directly under the sun like that before, have you? What if you get a sunburn?"


    They were sitting by the shoreline, so Terence knew full well that the sun''s rays were much more


    intense there, which was why people could easily get sunburnt there.


    Realizing that he was really just being concerned about her, Ca couldn''t say anything and decided to


    just remain silent.


    It would have been better if she had applied the screen a few minutes beforeing out of the vi.


    Unfortunately, she didn''t really think that it would be necessary at all, unaware that the heat would be


    so intense.


    There was never really any chance for her in the past to go to the beach for a swim during holidays, so


    she had no prior experience and, because of that, she wouldn''t think of applying sunscreen


    whatsoever.


    "Come over here!" Terence quickly grabbed Ca''s hand, pulling her into the beach chair, and taking


    the sunscreen from one of his servants. Then, heter got her to lie face down on the chair so he could


    help her apply the sunscreen on her back.


    As she was taking quick peaks at Terence and Ca who looked like they were so close to each other,


    Megan, wearing her sunsses, began to pull a long face. She had known Terence for such a long


    time, and they often went swimming even when they were still so little.


    However, she had never seen Terence so considerate and acting that nice to her.


    It was so disappointing and depressing for Megan to see Terence acting so nice toward Ca. In the


    past, she had always thought that Terence was already treating her well, but now, she realized that


    Terence had just always seen her as a friend.


    And it appeared as if he only cared for Ca from the bottom of his heart.


    Now, Megan was beginning to get more and more jealous of Ca.


    Even since she was a young girl, there hadn''t been a time where she didn''t dream of putting on a


    wedding dress and marrying Terence. And over the years, she still kept having that same dream. She


    was so anxious to spend a wonderful lifetime with him, wanting to be as happy every single day as they


    were when they used to y together when they were younger. However, the wonderful dream she had


    been waiting for so many years toe true was about to fall to pieces.


    Unwilling to ept defeat, Megan thought that she should take action in order for her to win back


    Terence''s heart. Otherwise, she would surely be regret it if she just let Ca end up with Terence and if


    she didn''t try toe between them.


    If Ca and Terence ever got married in the future, that would mean her long wait over the years would


    all be in vain by then.


    No!


    There was just no way she would simply let those things happen.
