Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 578 Catching Pheasants Barehanded

"No, Carla, you're just overthinking things!" Sean said, with an amused look on his face, still trying to

catch his breath.

Since Sean saw it quite differently, Carla didn't bother bringing up the topic any longer. She turned

around to check the hunting ground from where they were standing.

In one part of the field, Violet was trying to shoot down a pheasant. But because she never really had

any experience with handling a gun, she was having such a hard time. Some of the shots she took only

startled the pheasants and nearby hares, causing them to scamper around.

In a fit of anger, she threw the gun on the ground, rolled up her sleeves, and darted toward the field

herself, intending to catch the pheasants using her bare hands. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

As soon as the people there saw her enter the field, everyone had no choice but to stop shooting.

Everyone was left so dumbfounded that they simply chose to watch as Violet ran around the hunting

grounds, desperately trying to catch a pheasant.

Seeing her friend doing her best all by herself in there without anyone willing to lend a helping hand,

Carla pulled up her sleeves as well and jumped in the hunting ground to help Violet catch something.

Because of that, everyone around them continued watching these two women and their peculiar

actions—one was trying to block the pheasants' escape route while the other was responsible for

catching them.

Other onlookers who might not be familiar with Carla and Violet might think that these two had gotten a

few loose screws.

However, for those who knew them quite well like Terence, Rainer, and Nathan, they could tell why

Carla would do such a thing. After all, Carla already had a bit of experience with shooting, so there

shouldn't be a need for her to bother chasing after pheasants barehanded.

In spite of that, she was still more than willing to help Violet catch the pheasants without a care in the

world how others might view her actions.

The fact of the matter was that she was there to accompany her friend and help her blow off some

steam.

"Ah, I caught one! I caught one!'

After a while, running all over the field, Violet managed to capture a black and red pheasant! As though

she were on top of the world, she raised her hand and waved away the pheasants' feathers over her

head, showing it off to the people outside the fence.

Terence forced a cough to give the others a signal. Then, he was the first to clap his hands.

Of course, William clapped his hands as well, actually feeling quite amazed that Violet was able to pull

it off.

When they saw the two men clapping their hands, the people outside the fence proceeded to give the

two women who had been chasing after pheasants a big round of applause in spite of how weird they

might have looked.

In JA City, there were numerous wealthy ladies who mindlessly threw money down the drain, not to

mention the material girls who perceived money as the most important thing in the world. Those

women seemed proper, beautiful, and very liberal.

That being said, only a handful of women could act as easy-going and carefree as these two—Carla

and Violet.

But it should go without saying that a single pheasant wouldn't be able to fill everyone's stomachs.

Apart from that, based on the rules of this place, if one wanted to eat something for free, they had to be

the one to hunt for their food themselves.

Of course, they also had the option of paying for these animals, but where was the fun in that?

So, when these two women had tired themselves out, the other men began putting their shooting skills

on display, hunting down more hares and pheasants for dinner.

Soon, it was sundown.

A group of people gathered around two bonfires and had a picnic.

And they had to work for their meals themselves, which made the food taste much more delicious.

When they had enough drinks and food to eat, they all decided to camp out and stay there for the night.

But Violet was still feeling quite worried about her son, so she told Carla that she would like to head

back first.

It was just about eight in the evening. When she thought about it, it would be nine o'clock by the time

she got back if she left right away, so it wouldn't be too late.

"Let me accompany you. Actually, there's something I have to take care of in the company tomorrow

morning. That means I also won't be staying for the night," William told Violet.

"No, I don't need you to accompany me. I can find a way back myself," Violet answered, turning down

William's offer.

Seeing that Violet resolutely refused William, Carla glanced over at Terence and told him, "Violet, it's

already getting late. I think it would be better if you just let Mr. William drove you home."

"Carla!" Violet turned her head and glared at Carla, trying to tell her not to take William's side on this.

"Well, I also want to go back. I haven't seen Sally since we left, so I kinda miss her too!" Carla

remarked. Then, she went ahead and told Terence, "My dear husband! I'm gonna ask Rainer to take

me and Violet home, okay? We'll be heading home first. You guys just have a good time here."

But before Terence could even say anything back, Carla had already left with Violet.

So, Rainer went with them and drove them home.

When Carla and Violet went out of the camp, they realized that William was actually still following them.

And even up until the two had reached the An Manor, William's car was still following them close

behind.

After a while, Carla and Violet walked into the East Yard.

Carla was under the assumption that the two children were already in bed. It was almost nine o'clock

after all.

Be that as it might, when she arrived at the house with Violet, Carla was left at such a loss with the

scene that she stumbled upon.

The two children were actually still up!

But, that wasn't all. Sally was putting makeup on Cody while holding Carla's lipstick in her hand. Cody's

pretty little lips had turned into a "big bloody mouth".

Apart from that, there seemed to be a couple of small braids on his head. Cody was staring blankly

ahead feeling so helpless.

But the moment he noticed that Carla and Violet had returned, Cody quickly turned his head away and

desperately tried to hide his face from them.

"Ah, ha-ha, ha-ha!"

Violet burst out laughing upon seeing her son's face.

"Oh, my God! My daughter-in-law, you really made my son look so beautiful!

I don't think I've never seen my son as handsome as he is right now!"

But Carla didn't find it funny at all. Instead, she gave her daughter a disappointed look, walked over to

her and took away the lipstick she was holding in her hand. And she said, "Sally, why are you bullying

Cody?"

"No, I wasn't bullying him. I was just playing games with him... Isn't that what you wanted?"

Sally replied as she curled her lips, quite obviously not too confident with her answer.

Unfortunately for Cody, Violet had already taken out her mobile phone and recorded a video of her son.

She thought that if she showed this video to her son many years later, he's probably going to blow a

fuse!

At the thought of that, Violet continued laughing even louder.

"Game? Does this look like a game to you? Take a look at Cody's face! What does he look like right

now?"

Carla gave her daughter a talking-to as she looked at Cody's face.

There were two thick brown eyebrows drawn on, a big mouth, and weird-looking eye shadows in his

originally handsome face.

Because of that, Carla pondered to herself, 'Sally had just become a part of the An family for several

days! How did she become so naughty in such a short period of time?'

From out of the blue, Sally blurted out, "Father was the one who taught me to do it..."

"What? What are you saying? What did that father of yours teach you?" Carla asked, feeling quite

confused.

Sally batted her big black eyes, shot Cody a glance, and replied, "Father said that if I could bully

someone, I should do it without a bit of hesitation..."

Hearing such a response, Carla was rendered speechless.

She wasn't expecting Sally to put the blame on her father at all.

She was aware that Terence had indeed said those words to her, but Sally seemed to have taken it the

wrong way.

"Honey, what your father meant when he said that was if someone was bullying you, you are free to

bully them back. But did Cody bully you in any way?"

Carla asked, sounding a bit angry.

Sally simply shook her head as a response to Carla's question.

Seeing Sally looking so down in the dumps, Cody opened his mouth to stand up for her.

"Auntie, please don't blame Sally. I was the one who said I wanted to play with her."

Hearing Cody's response, Sally quickly nodded her head in agreement and added, "That's right! Cody

said that he was going to play with me no matter what I wanted to do! So, I told him that I wanted to

dress him up like a beautiful little prince..."

However, the little prince in front of them right now wasn't really that beautiful whatsoever.

As they were having that conversation...

"Alright!" Violet exclaimed before putting her phone into her pocket. "I'm done recording my 'beautiful'

son!"

Upon saying that, she turned to Carla and said, "Carla, don't take it so seriously! You shouldn't be so

hard on your daughter. They're just children! It's not unusual for kids like them to play such games. And

besides, Sally is a girl. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that she prefers to play games like giving

someone a makeover.

Just let Cody wash it off of his face. Don't scold Sally anymore."

Cody nodded along and added, "Yes, Auntie! I can easily wash my face later. It's alright! I don't really

mind."

Then, Cody walked over toward Violet and had her accompany him to the restroom in order to get his

face washed up.

"You're such a naughty girl!" Carla told Sally after Violet and Cody had left the room to go to the

bathroom.

After that, Carla went after them to give Cody the cleansing toner. After all, most of the cosmetic

products she had were waterproof and quite hard to take off, so using cleansing toner would be

necessary.

As soon as Cody was done cleansing his face, Carla and Violet took their children and headed out of

the An Manor.

They intended to head back to the Seaview Villa to stay there for the night.

The second the four of them stepped out of the An Manor, they found out that William's car was still

parked just outside the gate.
