Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 361

"Carla, I swear to God I'll never hit you again. That would never happen again. Please forgive me,"

Noah said as he tightly held her in his chest. Then he continued guiltily, "I didn't sleep yesterday. I spent the whole night regretting what I did to you. Carla, you don't know how I hate myself. I was being unreasonable and impulsive.

Carla, it's all my fault. I know I'm mistaken. It was Johnny being a jerk. You're not the one that should be blamed. I'm so sorry, Carla."

Johnny was technically Carla's friend. It was natural that she ran into a friend and had a small talk once in a while. It wasn't that she had cheated on him. She did nothing wrong.

Johnny was the one with an evil purpose. And that fact had nothing to do with her.

Carla pushed Noah away. She then took a deep breath and said, "Noah, I got to go. I don't want to be late."

"Don't worry. I'll drive you to the airport," replied Noah as he went to his bedroom to get changed.

After they arrived at the airport, Noah said as he took out her suitcase, "You can go back to your home in BH City and stay as long as you want once you're there. Here are some gifts I bought yesterday. You can give them to your friends and relatives."

Noah helped Carla to consign her luggage and didn't leave until she entered the departure gate.

A few hours later, Carla got to BH City safely.

Carla was supposed to come here for a business purpose. However, she actually wanted to spend more time in her old apartment too. She missed it so much and that was why she tried so hard to get the business trip chance here.

It was almost noon when she got off the plane.

Instead of heading to a hotel, Carla went to her apartment here directly.

Terence bought this place for her after her old one was ruined by fire. She wasn't given enough time to tidy it after that disaster.

The apartment had been empty for a long time and Carla could see a thick layer of dust everywhere.

After all the misunderstandings and chaos that happened between her and Noah these days, Carla thought that it was a good thing for her to stay away from Noah for a few days. Plus, it wasn't easy to get a chance to visit this place again, so she decided to stay in BH City for several days.

After taking a short break on the sofa, Carla stood up, took her coat off, wore an apron, and rolled up her sleeves. She was all set to clean up the whole place.

About an hour passed and she finally stepped in one of the bedrooms. She stood still for a while before cleaning. She opened the closet and saw a lot of men's shirts and pants hanging. Beneath them were some belts and underwear. All this was for Terence.

Carla watched them for a while then she smiled bitterly.

She seemed to have lost her strength all of a sudden and couldn't continue cleaning. She put aside the duster cloth and huddled on the bed, fixing her eyes on the closet.

After a while, she looked up to locate the light on the ceiling which used to be next to the camera. All this reminded her of the days she had spent here with Terence and Sean. All the memories went through in her mind, giving her a feeling that all that just happened yesterday, yet they were too far to touch.

Everything had changed now.

She was someone else's fiancee. Sean left her and Terence left her as well.

Carla missed them so much. Not seeing an end with her present ordeal was killing her slowly. Her life was gray and full of dark clouds without them. The tears began to trickle down her beautiful cheeks. She was wondering when the sunshine could appear in her life.

Carla sniffed as she looked around the dark, empty room again. Then she looked out of the window and found the tree there, standing alone with its leaves blown by the wind, leaving just empty branches.

How she missed her days here. Even though they were not rich and the house was small, that place used to be filled with laughter and happiness.

However, all those were gone. Worse, she could never get those back.

Carla stopped crying eventually. She picked the duster cloth up and was about to clean the room.

That was when she heard the doorbell ring.

"Who is it?"

Carla asked as she walked to open the door. However, she momentarily froze upon seeing who was standing before it. It was Terence.

He stood against the wall. There was a cigarette stub in his hand which could tell that he had been there for a long time.

Terence turned to her the moment the door opened. His longing eyes were fixed on her face.

Carla immediately rubbed her red watery nose to hide the fact that she just cried. Then she looked down to find that her apron was stained. She was a total mess after cleaning for an hour.

On the other hand, in contradiction to her, Terence was wearing an expensive custom-made suit. He was clean and wrinkle-free. His coat was casually hanging on his arm. Even the shoes on his feet were clean enough to reflect light. He was tremendously handsome and charming.

Carla couldn't count how many times this had happened.

Here she was, in a mess again after their long separation.

Without a word, she stepped back and closed the door.

However, Terence wasn't confused about what she did. He knew what she intended to do.
