Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 288

"Oh, I'm fine. They sent me back earlier so I had a good rest," she said while she returned his smile.

After a sip of his water, Noah got up and sat by her side. He gently lifted her injured leg and put it on his thigh. He spoke again while he gave her a gentle massage, "I'm sorry, Carla. I still need several days to take care of some necessary things. I promise I will accompany you after I'm done."

After she heard what he said, Carla hesitated for a moment but she still asked, "That's okay, Noah. I can take care of myself. Although, now that everything is fine. Can I go back to JA City now?"

Noah's hand paused for a moment, then he asked, still with a smile, "Why, Carla? Are you missing Sean or Terence?"

Carla somehow felt a little nervous. She raised her hand to fix her hair and hide the embarrassment which was evident on her face. Then she answered, "I have already been far away from them for too long. I think it's time for me to go back. Sean is still so young. I couldn't stop worrying about him. I just really feel bad for leaving him alone."

Noah took a few moments to think about what she said before he replied with a sigh, "Carla, Mother was hoping that we could get engaged as soon as possible. She already told all our relatives and friends that we'll have our engagement ceremony three days later. But don't worry. Only some closed relatives and friends will attend the ceremony."

Carla couldn't produce any words after hearing what Noah had just said.

She was completely taken aback by his words. Everybody had been busy with the funeral recently and nobody even mentioned the engagement. Even she herself almost forgot about it.

At that moment, what Noah had just said reminded her what she had promised to Allen.

She bit her lip and after quite a while, she slowly uttered, "Noah, now that Allen had already passed away, what's the point of us being engaged?"

Back when Allen asked her to marry Noah, she just said "yes" to comfort him. It would be too cruel to refuse a dying man.

But at that moment, she couldn't see any point of being married to Noah after Allen's death.

Looking at her confused face, there was pain in Noah's soft brown eyes if one looked closely.

But he looked down in case she would see it. Then, with a smile he explained patiently, "Carla, only when we get engaged can all the terms in the will be pushed through. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to take over the family business legally. In fact, the company is already in chaos because of Father's death. If I couldn't take over everything as soon as possible, I'm afraid it would get worse."

After a short pause, he continued, "Of course I won't get in your way if you insist on leaving. But I still suggest that you do so after you have fully recovered from your leg injury."
