Carla sat on the sofa in the resting area. Seeing that there were only a few people around her, she took off her shoes and put her legs on the seat. She then began to massage her sore and painful legs.
She didn't even notice how she was abusing her legs earlier as she only paid attention to riding her horse quickly and happily. Now she felt exhausted and aching. But it was okay, and it was just a little pain anyway.
"I told you to ride slowly. However, you rode the horse like a gust of wind just now," Noah reprimanded in a tender voice.
He came over with two cups of juice and put them on the table.
Sitting next to her, he put her legs on his legs and kneaded her calves gently.
Laughing at him, Carla reached for the juice and drank. "I haven't been so crazy for a long time. I felt so excited so I forgot the pain on my legs for a while..."
"I'll get you a basin of hot water and some wormwood once we get back. It will make your legs recover faster," said Noah. It was then that his phone rang.
Thus, Noah looked at his phone, let go of Carla's legs for a while, and stood up. He then turned to Carla. "Take a rest first. I'll just go out to answer the call."
"Okay!" Carla responded.
She put her legs down and sat cross-legged on the sofa with the juice still in her hand.
Suddenly, her phone rang too.
She saw a stranger's message when she looked at its screen.
The message said, "Turn left from the back door and go straight to a small arbor. I'll wait for you there."
Carla stared at the message and thought for a while. Then it finally hit her, 'Would it be Terence?"
Remembering that she hadn't seen him for almost a month, she got so excited that she immediately put her shoes on and went out.
The last time she met Terence was in the underground restaurant. She tried calling him this month but he wouldn't answer her phone.
With Terence in her mind, she ran out of the resting area, completely disregarding her aching legs. She turned to the left in haste upon going out.
She saw a man with his back to her as soon as she reached the arbor.
Unable to control herself, she walked faster and cried out, "Terence!"
Carla ran and hugged him from behind.
However, the man spoke, "Terence? You've been engaged to Noah.
Why are you even thinking about another man?"
Carla immediately pushed him away disgustedly upon hearing his voice.
"Why are you here?"
she asked with a frown after realizing that it was Johnny.
Laughing, Johnny looked at her with amusement. He knew that she wouldn't come if he texted her with his own number. Thus, he asked Kelvin to send the message on his behalf.
"Carla, are you nostalgic or wanton? Since you are Noah's fiancee, why are you still so excited to embrace another man?"
Johnny gave her an once-over. It seemed that her leg had fully recovered. She had deceived him by telling him that she became lame last time, so he ended up contacting a foreign orthopedic surgeon for her.
However, she ran away and got engaged!
Remembering what happened made Johnny really mad.
"Even if I am a wanton woman, I won't flirt with you. So it's none of your business!" Carla shouted. She immediately lost her interest upon seeing that the man wasn't Terence. Thus, she turned her head and prepared to leave.
Nonetheless, Johnny was thinking otherwise. He already asked her out, so he wouldn't just let her go so easily. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. "Don't rush. Could you tell me how I could make you want to flirt with me?
I guess you're still in touch with Terence. Since you can flirt with two men at the same time, would you be kind enough to add another one?"
Carla didn't know how to answer him.
