Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 178

he proceeded to drive the car away from the reeds and back onto the usual road again.

It was just at that moment when Carla was finally able to let out a sigh of relief. Letting go of the handrail on the roof of his car, Carla spoke, "Mr. Noah..."

"Why are you calling me Mr. Noah? Stop it with the formalities. Please just go ahead and call me by my name, Noah," Noah abruptly interrupted her.

"Well, Noah, If I'm completely being honest, you almost scared half the life out of me with what you did just now," Carla admitted, resting her hand on her chest, trying to calm herself down.

"Would you mind telling me what made you fall for Terence?" Noah pried.

That was one question she wasn't expecting him to ask. She was simply staring blankly into space, at such a loss for words after hearing what Noah had just said.

"Is it because he is the heir to one of the wealthiest families of JA City? Or could it possibly because of the way he looks? Tell me, what kind of magic did he use to thaw your heart?" Noah continued prying even further.

At that point, Carla simply shook her head.

"Definitely not. The first time we met, he was still a nobody, helplessly running around the street. Back then, he had nothing to his name and I didn't have a clue whatsoever that he was actually from a wealthy family. I'm aware that you're still trying to do something about it, but it's Terence who wishes to call off the engagement. It's out of my hands,"

Carla exclaimed, taking in a deep breath.

Noah gave her a quick glance but didn't say a word. The road they were taking was now heading toward the direction of Carla's house.

He seemed to have taken the route that would directly lead to her home. And soon enough, they arrived at her place and he parked the car by her driveway.

Disregarding Carla's refusal of his offer, Noah grabbed her bag from the backseat and carried it upstairs for her.

The moment they got to her doorway, Carla thought that it would be wrong for her not to at least invite him in. At the end of the day, in spite of everything that had happened, he not only gave her a lift, but he also helped her bring the bag upstairs. So, as not to be rude, and against her best judgment, she had no other choice but to let him in.

The second he stepped foot inside Carla's house, Noah's eyes roamed around her tidy room and then finally, they were suddenly fixated on Carla, who still seemed to be feeling uneasy.

"Noah, is there anything you would like to drink?"

Carla asked, forcing out a smile.
