Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 347

Carla was about to step up when Noah hurriedly pulled her back.

"Are you serious? Can't you just behave a bit, Carla?"

whispered Noah while gripping her hand. "You're my date tonight, moreover, my fiancee. Are you even aware that we're in public? I don't care about what you think but I do care about what others think. Show me some respect, alright?"

Turning back to Noah, Carla replied, "Relax, okay? I still have my senses. I won't blow it up."

Although she was mesmerized by Terence, she still kept her guards up. She promised not to do anything inconsiderately.

Also, she didn't think that Noah would take her to similar gatherings again if she screwed this night up.

Her credits mattered.

"Good to know. The auction will start in ten minutes. Don't wander too far," Noah whispered again upon noticing some business acquaintances approaching them.

"Okay," acknowledged Carla.

Then politely, she nodded at the two men walking towards them.

They exchanged greetings with them for a while before Carla found an excuse to leave.

She couldn't take her mind off Terence, who was still surrounded by elites. She took up a plate of snacks and stood in a corner. She was eating while watching all the glamorous people passing by. All of them were corporate giants and celebrities. For some reason, that charity event appeared more like a power battle than a party.

Carla had been eyeing Rena, who was Terence's date, from the beginning.

Her arms were tightly wrapped around Terence's. Rena was deliberately clinging to him like a delicate bird, making sure that everyone understood who owned the man beside her.

Carla, on the other hand, took a sip of red wine. She was just glancing around casually as if everything wasn't interesting at all. However, she was keenly watching Terence discreetly through her peripheral vision. There was not even a second that her attention left the man. She was counting the number of women who tried hitting on him and had been blocked by Rena.

What a surprise! Rena was indeed the best guard there.

At that same moment, Noah, who was also radiating with charisma, was already being surrounded by a league of beautiful women.

They flocked to him like fireflies upon seeing him alone.

A woman in a blue dress was even leaning close to him intimately, talking and laughing with him all the time.

It was then that Carla noticed Terence walking away. He seemed to be heading to the bathroom.

That was her chance! She immediately bottomed up her drink and put the wine glass down.

She rushed to the bathroom too by cutting corners. "Hey, Terence!" shouted Carla as soon as they reached an empty corridor towards the bathroom.

Excitedly, she ran towards him as fast as she could.

Terence stopped upon hearing Carla's voice and turned around.

He wasn't given time to react when Carla suddenly plunged into him and embraced his neck with her delicate arms. She tip-toed and stared at his face while smiling.

"Did you miss me, Terence?"

Terence gave her a quick once-over. He then sarcastically remarked, "What is Noah thinking? How dare he let you dress like that? You'll be laughed at once the other women see you.

You are supposed to be the wealthy daughter of the Hua family. I can't believe you're still keeping that really bad taste."

Terence could still remember how he carefully picked clothes for her when they were still together. He had always been keen on giving her the best up to the smallest detail.

"Forget about Noah. It isn't his fault. I just don't care much about what I wear. Moreover, Noah already had a date but I insisted on coming. I didn't have enough time to go back and change in such a short time. Thus, I just bought this dress in a hurry."

Carla looked down to scrutinize her dress. It might not be fancy but she was pretty sure that it wasn't that bad. Well, at least not as bad as Terence made it appear.

"Really? Why did you insist on coming?"

Putting his arms around her waist tenderly, Terence pulled her closer to him while looking at her tenderly. "Why would you do that?"

"Because I wanted to see you. As long as I could see you, I would be here no matter what," replied Carla.

She was about to say more things when Terence suddenly pressed his lips against her without any ado. His kisses were hungry and burning, enough to set her on fire.
