Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 279

Noah didn't expect that they would run into Phyllis there today. He should have checked the restaurant in advance to avoid the awkwardness.

"What?" Carla replied. However, at that moment she somehow felt a bit disappointed. She was expecting a sweet and pleasant dinner with Noah.

However, Noah was making her uncomfortable and it was kind of ruining the moment.

She didn't really know what was bothering her. She had some questions that needed answers.

"Noah, do all men have sex just for pleasure and not for love?"

When their dishes were served, Carla asked him before taking a mouthful of broccoli using her fork.

However, right before Noah could even answer her, Carla added hastily, "Please don't get me wrong, Noah. I didn't mean to judge you. I just didn't really understand what guys are usually thinking when they do things like that with women."

Noah paused for a while. He knew that even though Carla looked calm, she was actually a little mad at him because of the things between Phyllis and him.

He took a deep breath.

Then he asked her directly, "Carla, are you disappointed in me? Are you mad at me?"

Carla took a bite of her steak. It tasted good and it was better than any steak she ever had. Then she replied with a smile, "No, Noah. I'm not your girlfriend.

If I were your girlfriend and you just had sex with another woman, I would have the right to be mad at you."

After speaking, she took a deep breath as if she was making some important decision to announce then she said, "Noah, I'm so sorry for bothering you these days."

Carla looked down and her eyes were full of guilt. All the days that she had been with him played before her eyes. She realized that she was too dependent on his kindness and she was bothering him all the time. All the things that he had done for her was way beyond a friend's responsibility.

When he heard what she said, Noah momentarily paused. He frowned slightly while looking at her guilty face.

"I am really sorry but I am also very thankful. Noah, I know that I was kind of needy these days. Please just consider me as a patient that needed some care. I really do appreciate your kindness."

"Carla, what do you mean exactly?" Noah asked her while he was placing his knife and fork down on the table.

At that exact moment, Phyllis walked through a corridor and stopped at the end.

Terence and Rainer were there and they were waiting for her.

"Sir, I've already done my job. Can you please pay me now?" Phyllis asked while ogling at Terence who was standing by the window.

Terence called Rainer in a low voice and signaled him to pay her.

"Rainer."

Rainer immediately produced an envelope containing some cash and then passed it to Phyllis.

Phyllis glanced at the envelope and she was pretty content with the thickness of it. She knew that Terence was a rich man. She flashed him a seductive smile. "Sir, do you have any plans for tonight?"

she said while walking closer to him. However, right before she could even touch him, Terence stepped back instantly to avoid her. He was annoyed by her rudeness. "You should just leave. Remember to keep this to yourself. Don't let anybody know about what happened tonight," Terence warned her coldly.

Seeing that he was acting so distant, Phyllis knew that she shouldn't pester him anymore. She just nodded and left quietly.

Once alone, Terence glanced at the direction where Carla and Noah were. A little while later, he gazed at the night scene of the mountain, lost in thought.

'The best way to beat a rival in love is not to constantly flatter the woman you love but to let her see

that the other man is not the right one for her.'

Not all men were loyal and steadfast like Terence. He was one of a kind.
