Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 223

Johnny was also invited by Marcus to go to NF days before.

Naturally, he wouldn't risk to go unless he would benefit from it greatly.

Carla went back to the Seaview Villa.

When Terence was away, she could never get used to being alone.

Even after a week, she still couldn't get used to it.

Although they talked on the phone everyday to make sure that he was okay, her heart was still worried and she still had nightmares every night.

She knew that she was overthinking and that there was nothing to worry about because Terence was not an ordinary person and he had bodyguards that would follow him all the time. Rainer and Nathan were also with him twenty-four seven.

Even with that, she still made sure to pay special attention to the news there every day. When news about crimes popped up, she couldn't help but think about Terence.

The more she cared, the more worried she got.

Carla was now fully experiencing it.

One day, Noah invited her to go out and to attend an opening ceremony of a new department store. He had a few free gift cards with him so he invited Carla to buy whatever she liked.

Carla agreed to go. She didn't really need to buy stuff but she wanted to keep her mind occupied with something else.

However, she ended up just thinking about Terence and Sean who were the two most important people in her life. She didn't want to lose any of them.

"Carla..."

Noah greeted her as soon as he saw her get out of the car.

Carla said something to her bodyguard and walked over to Noah while smiling. "Noah! I thought you left already!"

"I did went back yesterday but I just came back to JA City last night," Noah explained while looking at Carla. "What's wrong? You don't look so good."

Carla just shook her head and said while lowering her eyes, "It's nothing. I don't know. I can't sleep properly recently."

"Really? Is it because Terence is away?" Noah asked while smiling gently.

Carla cleared her throat and looked at him, a little surprised. "Noah, how did you know?"

They kept on chatting with each other while walking inside.

"I'm also a businessman; that's why I know things. Besides, the Hua family has a good business relationship with the An family, so it's only natural that I know," Noah explained while they were walking into a newly-opened boutique shop.

While picking some clothes, Carla asked, "Noah, have you been there before?"

Noah answered while helping her. "Yes, I've been there for a month and I got robbed twice. Try this one. This is nice."

"What?"

Carla shouted out loud. She was surprised to hear that from Noah. She thought that the comments online were only exaggerated.

"You don't have to worry. The AJ Group has a good reputation in business. It can even surpass the Hua family. Besides, they have a joint corporation with the local government. Whenever they go out, they are always under the government's protection."

Noah laughed when he saw that she was becoming anxious. He decided to reassure her. "I got robbed last time because I was alone. Normally, they don't rob a group of people."

Carla was relieved after hearing his explanation. She took the clothes that they picked and went inside the fitting room.

When she got out from the fitting room, Noah's eyes brightened at the sight of her wearing a new outfit. He nodded approvingly and said, "Nice. You should wear that! It suits you well."

Carla looked into the mirror and found that she looked chic and pretty.

She liked it, so she grabbed her purse and went to pay for it, but Noah stopped her.

"I have a free gift card. The department store gave it to me, so please use this to buy that," Noah said while handing the gift card to the shop assistant.

When she saw that Noah was really using a gift card, Carla decided not to decline his offer. She went into the fitting room and changed back into the clothes that she was wearing before.

Then they decided to go into several other shops as well. Carla noticed that Noah only bought things for her and not for himself.

Carla thanked repeatedly but Noah just brushed her away. He was only using the free gift cards that were given to him by the department store. If Carla didn't spend it, someone else would.

It was not his money after all, so she didn't need to worry about it.
