Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 265

Carla took a bite of the apple that she had been holding and casually chewed it while she responded to Terence's question, "Uhmm, I'm going there for an errand."

"What errand?" Terence asked.

"It's my own business. It has nothing to do with you." Carla didn't want to tell him the details of the trip. If she said that Noah asked her out, Terence would make a fuss about it. But she had promised Noah that she would go so she couldn't just cancel.

Without another word, Terence put down his game stick. He got up, approached her and sat by her side. He then said, "Your own business? That I do not know of?"

Carla looked at him from her peripheral view and retorted, "Of course I have my own business. Everyone has their own thing."

"Not you. You have to tell me honestly why you're going to HA City. Otherwise, I won't let you leave." Terence threatened her with a tone that Carla had not heard before.

Carla didn't like what she just heard so she responded, "I never say anything whenever you have to go somewhere. But why is it that when it's my turn to go, you get to have a say in it at all? You're being too dramatic!"

"Carla, tell me the truth. Did Noah ask you out?" Terence asked all of a sudden.

Carla was taken aback and she looked at him in surprise. How could he have guessed it right? She forced a cough and said, "Yes, I promised him that I would make time to visit HA City. Now that you're back for real, I have some spare time to go. I have to keep my promise."

"I'm just asking what exactly you are going to do there," Terence asked directly.

Although he was busy at that moment, he still knew what was going on in HA City. He heard that Allen had been in the hospital and was in a really bad condition.

'Why did Noah ask Carla to go to HA City?' Terence thought to himself.

He didn't believe that Noah would introduce Carla to the Hua family and tell them that she was actually their long-lost daughter.

Carla bit her lip and stared at him. Why did he have to ask the details?

"If you're not going to tell me, I'm going to ask Noah."

Terence reached out to grab his phone but Carla quickly stopped him.

"Alright. I'll tell you."

Carla finally gave in and started to tell him the whole story.

"Fine, here's what happened. Weeks ago, Noah told me that I look like his friend's daughter. Because of that, his friend really wants to see me. I wasn't thinking too much at that time and said yes.

Then, the next time that Noah and I met, he brought it up again. We agreed on going to HA City on Wednesday. It's not really a big deal. His friend misses her daughter very much, so I'll just pretend to be her. Besides, I could understand how it feels to lose someone you love since my parents died when I was very young," Carla comprehensively explained while she

kept her head low. She kept on fidgeting with her fingers as she did so.

Hearing her reply, Terence tensed a little. So his suspicions were right and it was indeed about her origins. Was Noah going to tell Carla her true identity?

He had kept the secret from Carla for so long, hoping that she would not be involved in the affairs of the Hua Family. But now it seemed like it couldn't be kept undisclosed anymore.

Terence sighed and then asked, "Carla, you asked me a while back to investigate about the ring. Do you want to know who gave it to your father?"

Since things had already reached that point, he should at least prepare her for what was about to come.

Even though he was in no position to reveal the truth, he couldn't just let her go to HA City without any precaution.

"Of course! I've been wanting to ask you about that," Carla went on to say.

Then, as if she just thought of something, she grabbed Terence's hand and continued, "I've seen a big piece of the same green jewel in Grandpa Nicholas's house. It was displayed in his study.

I felt like the ring was made from the same jewel and asked him. He said that the Hua Family took one piece and made a set of jewelry out of it. Do you think the ring has something to do with the Hua Family?"

The investigation about the ring took a long time because a lot of other things got in the way.
