Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 324

Carla's heartbeat doubled upon seeing Noah walked towards her. Subconsciously, she stepped back a little.

"Carla, are you telling me that my fiancee is far less important than my friend?" Noah asked.

Seeing Noah's dimmed face made Carla step back again. She then shook her head and stuttered, "No, I didn't mean that. I mean... What I'm trying to say is that I will try to avoid having conflicts with your friends from now on.

Noah, please don't..."

This was the first time she feared Noah. She had always thought that men who were not easily angered had tendencies to be scarier than ordinary once they did.

Thus, she couldn't tell if Noah would lose his control and resort to hurting her at the moment. As if it had a mind of its own, one of her arms moved by itself covering her face to protect herself.

However, Noah just shrugged upon seeing her reaction and grabbed her arm. "Carla, do know how much I'm blaming myself for hurting you today?

I hate myself for not protecting you! You are my fiancee but I let you get hurt!

I was so used to being alone and I honestly don't have any clue in taking care of a woman," Noah shouted while gritting his teeth.

Over the past years, all he did was to net people who would do him favors.

Putting his interest first whenever he faced something had been one of his habits.

Trina, as for a good example, was an influential artist who had helped him with his business in more ways than one.

It was that bad habit that took the best of him earlier. Thus, he lost his control. There was that faint voice inside his head earlier that was telling him not to make conflicts with Trina because he needed her, for business.

"I'll do my best to change myself little by little. Forgive me this time, Carla, please."

Noah's voice became gentle as he tried to pull Carla closer to him.

What happened a while ago made him realize a lot of things.

He was fighting for Carla's love against Terence and it was more than obvious that he had lost this round.

Nonetheless, he promised himself to win next time.

Carla felt her heart quivered. She bowed her head, blinked her eyes, and then took a deep breath. She reminded herself to stay acting naturally and said, "There's no need to change yourself for me, Noah.

Really! It is clear to us that our engagement is just our father's wish before he died. It's just a ceremony. You don't need to take it seriously. It's okay to be yourself, Noah. It's not your responsibility to change for me."

Noah's grasp on her arm suddenly tightened. His face grew dimmer when he stared at her.

It took him some seconds to finally opened his mouth again. "Are you eager to leave me and go back to Terence?

Maybe you are right. I am not good enough. He can do a lot of things that I can't. I can't do anything without committing mistakes, so you would just get hurt over and over just like what happened today. I'm sure that you are blaming me silently, Carla..." Noah's voice faded.

He finally let go of her arm and then without any ado, turned away dejectedly.

A bitter smile cracked his lips.

He thought, 'Is this my karma?

I have been hurting her since we first met.

How did I grow so dumb that I hoped for her to love me without any rules or defense? I'm outright not qualified for her...'

Regret instantly flooded Carla upon seeing Noah's reaction. She wanted to take her words back but it was too late. She shouldn't have talked about their fake engagement that deliberately. She just wanted to tease him.

It was just that she still couldn't forget how Trina had looked down on her.

However, making Noah this sad resonated in her too. She also didn't feel happy.

Carla stayed in Noah's house until lunch.

She hadn't seen Noah at home since he walked out on her earlier. She didn't even have a clue on where he was.

It might sound bad, but the absence of Noah around gave Carla a mild sense of relief. Since Noah wasn't home, there was no one to stop her from going out.

Terence came to pick her up that same afternoon.
