Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 317

Carla hurried to push Noah aside and timidly looked down. This whole situation was making her flustered so she coughed slightly to cover that. She then placed the goblet she was holding on a tray held by a waiter, who was standing beside them.

Although she pretended to be calm, her heart was flipping inside her chest with every second passing by.

"Well, let's stop here. Callie is still young after all so we better stop kidding her. That's enough," said Ivy, Albert's wife, figuring out that it was time to stop everyone from teasing and embarrassing the two.

"Noah, I'm a little tired. Could you please push me back to my room?" Carla looked up at the man and asked in a low voice.

Wordlessly, Noah just nodded his head. He put his goblet down and pushed her towards the elevator.

Little did everyone know that there were two people watching everything going on from outside the hotel's glass window.

"It's time to leave, Mr. Terence. Shall we go?"

asked Rainer cautiously.

He was afraid that people might notice them if they stayed there any longer.

Terence's decision to come there was outright confusing for Rainer. Why did his boss decide to be there when he knew all along that what he'd see would hurt him?

Nonetheless, Terrence didn't even speak a bit and just remained watching Carla and Noah enter the elevator. He waited until the elevator completely closed and the two were out of his sight. He then walked wordlessly towards his car before turning back at Rainer.

"Watch over Noah, Rainer," he ordered in a serious tone. His face was dark as if all the lights were drawn out of it. Then he added, "Report all his actions to me."

"Yes, I will,"

answered Rainer immediately as he raised his head to look back at Terrence. Having been aware of how much his boss loved Carla, he could just imagine how hard it was for Terence to watch her with another man.

He could bet his bottom dollar that his boss was feeling murderous now.

Thus, he asked, "I can't understand why you came here, Mr. Terence. Do you really want to make yourself suffer?"

Expressionlessly, Terence just looked at Rainer. He pulled the door open in one swift move and got in the car. "You wouldn't understand, Rainer," he said.

Then he turned his head to the man on the driver's seat and ordered, "Let's get out of here, Nathan."

To be honest, Terrence wasn't ready for all the emotions attacking him now. He thought that it was better for him to personally see what Carla was doing in HA City. He thought it was easy to just watch what was happening between her and Noah.

He was wrong. It crashed him. However, he believed that all this pain he was feeling would eventually turn into his strength over time.

On the other hand, Carla and Noah were finally back to the hotel room.

Awkward silence was engulfing them as they walked in.

Noah ordered a new room for Carla, hoping that it would give her a short yet satisfying rest. The hotel lobby was flooded with all kinds of people and he was worried that it would make her uncomfortable.

Noah and Carla were the most important people at that banquet. Thus, they were not supposed to leave the hotel this early.

But then, Noah didn't want to push Carla too hard. He wouldn't mind giving her more time to get accustomed to all these changes around her.

"Carla, I didn't mean to do that. I was just left with no choice back then. I am so sorry," Noah apologized. Upsetting Carla nor frightening her wasn't exactly his plan.

As a reaction, Carla just smiled and said, "I know."

"I will call the room service to bring you food. Then I will send you home once you are done eating. I want you to live with our mother for the next days. I want you to enjoy some family time with her. Call me if you get bored, okay? You can come to stay with me in my house," said Noah sincerely.

He gave Carla's beautiful face a quick once-over until his eyes landed on her lips. In an instant, everything inside his head went blurry as memories of their kiss flooded him all over again.

'I could have kissed you longer if I don't care about your feeling, Carla. God knows how much I want you. However, I'm not in a hurry and there's still a lot of time for you to learn to accept me, ' he silently thought.

"Okay. You should be back with the guests, Noah. Tell them that I am not feeling good and need some rest. I will be back soon," answered Carla with a nod.

Being a patient right now, she believed that those elders wouldn't blame her for anything at the moment.

"Sure. Rest here for now. I will take you home after the banquet," agreed Noah before leaving Carla alone in the room. The engagement banquet finished successfully.

Minutes after it, Carla was taken to the Hua family's residence.

It wasn't easy for her to move around. Thus, she just stayed inside the house the whole time to recover.

Time fled and half a month already passed.

Andrea had focused on cooking all kinds of delicious and nutritious food for Carla while she was there.
