Chapter 135 Terence The Good Actor
"Ca! "
Sean screamed.
Ca had already tumbled to the ground. She was wincing in pain as she held her ankle gingerly. Ca
nced 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 Ie down with him. I''m sorry to
disturb you,"
she said as she waved at them. Ca 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 Ca 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 Ca. A shadow of darkness
shed 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 exining 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 deste 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 nned to leave with the driver. However, curiosity got the better of her.
She wanted to see for herself how Terence had behaved with Ca when she wasn''t there.
Was it true that Ca was only his life-saver and he was grateful?
Or, were they actually romantically involved?
"I''m not feeling very well. Wait for me outside, please. I will only be a moment. I need to go to the
bathroom,"
said Bonnie to the driver, who was waiting for her.
"Yes, Miss Hua." The driver nodded respectfully and left to wait for her outside.
When the driver was gone, Bonnie quietly crept up the stairs.
On the third floor, Ca slowly limped towards her room. Sean couldn''t do anything to help his sister
because he was only small and didn''t have the strength to hold her.
When she was halfway down the hall, she turned and saw that Terence wasing out of the elevator.
"Sean, you can go back to your room. I''ll help your sister." Then he briskly walked up to Ca and put
his arm around her waist helping her walk to his bedroom.
Sean was relieved when he saw Terenceing. He nodded and did what he was told.
Terence kicked the door open and helped Ca to the sofa.
"Tell me where you hurt yourself?"
asked Terence as he reached for her ankle.
"Ah! Be gentle!" Ca shrieked in pain as she instinctively pushed his hand away and held her ankle
protectively.
He gently moved her hand away and felt her ankle. "The bone doesn''t appear to be broken. You have
sprained your ankle badly. But it should be all right with somepress and an ice pack."
Terence came back shortly afterward with apress bandage and an ice pack. He gently wrapped
the bandage around her ankle to stop the swelling and elevated her foot on a stool while he applied an
ice pack to her ankle.
"This ointment works very well too. Apply it two to three times once the swelling goes down and you''ll
be okay."
Then he packed the medicine box away and went to wash his hands.
Ca sat on the sofa, staring at her bandaged ankle and absentmindedly rubbed it. Images of Bonnie
kissing Terence kept shing through her mind.
He had kissed Ca many times before, but it was her first time to see another woman kissing him on
the lips.
When Terence walked out of the bathroom, he saw a shadow of a person hiding behind the screen. His
gut instinct was to kick it down.
But he held back for a moment and nced down to the bottom of the screen where he saw a pair of
shoes exposed.
It was the same pair of white high heeled shoes that Bonnie wore while they danced.
Bonnie had slipped them on from her car after they had dinner.
"Terence,e here—"
Ca wasn''t aware that Bonnie was hiding behind the screen. When she saw Terence she called out to
him.
"Yes? What is it?" Terence asked as he went back to her.
Ca reached out to him and gazed at him with glittering eyes.
Terence just nced back at the screen behind and didn''t take her hand.
"I''ve bandaged your ankle, so you can go back to your room now,"
said Terence without any emotion as he sat down on the other end of the sofa.
He couldn''t let Bonnie see him being intimate with Ca. Not now.
Even if Bonnie was suspicious of the rtionship between Terence and Ca, it was purely her guess
and imagination. She had never witnessed it first hand.
Now would not be a good time for her to find out the truth.
Sensing his aloof attitude, Ca unconsciously bit her lip.
"Is there anything that you want to exin to me?" she asked.
Terence crossed his legs sitting opposite her. He looked up and said, "Exin what? That Bonnie
kissed me? Ca, she is my fiancee. It''spletely normal for us to kiss. There''s nothing to exin."
Ca sat gaping at him. He could have knocked her down with a feather at how astonished she felt at
that moment.
She couldn''t believe her ears. Ca managed to suppress her mounting anger and asked, "Terence,
are you serious?"
Terence didn''t look up. Browsing through a magazine in his hand, he said casually, "Ca, I hope
you''re aware that I treat you well just because you saved my life and for no other reason.
If you hadn''t done that do you really think, that you, a nobody, is good enough to live in my Sea-view
vi?
I''ve done a lot for you. Because of you, I even let Bonnie go home even though she wanted to stay
here with me. What more do you want me to do?"
Ca felt as though her heart had just been ripped out of her chest. She coughed ferociously as she
fumbled to stand up and leaned against the sofa for support. The pain in her ankle cut through her like
a knife and she gave out a short gasp.
"All right! Terence, you win! I just don''t like your fiancee. She hurt my brother. How can I like her?"
Ca said, rubbing her ankle and gave out a sneer. "It''s easy to get me in, but it''s going to be hard for
you to get me out! Even if, as you say, I don''t deserve it! I''m here now. You can try and throw me out if
you dare! I will not leave!"
Ca then hobbled angrily to the door and then remembered that she had forgotten to put her slippers
on.

So she hobbled back to the sofa and bent down awkwardly to put on her slippers. After she put one
slipper on her good foot, she pulled the other slipper onto her sore foot and winced in pain. So she
limped back towards the door with one slipper in her hand and one on her foot.
Bonnie quickly left from behind the screen when she heard footstepsing.
She felt so relieved.
How could she have believed that Terence could fall in love with a vulgar woman like Ca? The truth
was, she was his lifesaver and she was using it to take advantage of him.
Since that was the case Bonnie didn''t need to worry anymore.
It meant that Ca wasn''t as difficult to handle as she had imaged she was.
While Ca was
limping to the door with one slipper in her hand, a man suddenly walked up and grabbed her from
behind scooping her up off the ground.
