Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 368

Carla's eyes had lost all of its shine. She lowered her head and told him, "Noah, can we please try to remain calm and sit down and have a talk?"

Noah recognized the somber look on her face, so he put the rough sketch of the wedding ring down on the table. Taking her sentiment into consideration, he walked over to the sofa in front of them.

In a gentle tone, he asked, "Alright. What is it that you want to talk about?"

Carla had no intention of making the situation worse than it already was. Ideally, she wanted to resolve everything in a peaceful manner. However, it had been such a long time since the two of them had gotten engaged. Because of that, she had no idea what Noah could be thinking right now. Would he still be so headstrong and inflexible, believing that they should still get married?

"Noah, the guilt I feel inside is eating me alive. I just can't run away from the past any longer. I'm really sorry. There's no way for me to easily forget everything that happened in the past. For that reason, Noah, the nicer you are to me, the more I'm being backed into a corner.

And that's because I sincerely believe that you deserve someone better. You deserve a devout woman who loves you with all her heart and soul. But I know that I can never be that woman for you. I don't think I deserve you at all.

You should be well aware that Julie adores you completely. So much so that she's more than willing to do anything for you. A woman like that is who you should be with."

Carla said all of those things while sitting on the sofa with her head facing the floor. When she was done talking, she failed to muster up the courage to look at Noah, who was sitting on the sofa right across her. Due to the nerve-wracking feeling of waiting for his response, she tightly bit her lower lip.

In this society, money could be fought for without much care about anything else, and so did power. But love didn't work like that. Unlike other trivial things, no person could take advantage of another without feeling even just the least bit of guilt.

Carla was not the kind of person that had no trouble dealing with other men. Aside from that, she also didn't have the heart to use innocent people for her own personal interests. Never had she ever thought about hurting the people around her, especially the ones she loved and those who loved her.

"Noah, you know full well that I'm no longer an innocent woman, both physically and mentally, that is, I honestly think that I'll never be right for you. If you want to have me by your side just because of the fact that I am Callie, the biological daughter of the Hua family, then I truly think that there's no point in doing this at all. Noah, instead of directing all of your attention on someone like me, you should be busy chasing your own happiness.

I've already told you that I'm fine with giving you half the shares of the Hua Group and you can also retain your position in the company as the president. I don't plan to take anything from you. In contrast, I actually want you to be able to live your own life the way you want to and be happy."

At that moment, Carla had resigned herself into letting go of all the thoughts that had been weighing her down and having a serious talk with Noah.

She was so sick and tired of seeing them hurt each other all the time. Why shouldn't they be allowed to find their own true love themselves? Causing each other to suffer was not the best option.

As she said that, Carla got up from the sofa and sat right beside Noah. She earnestly stated, "Noah, you will always be my brother. And for as long as you'd let me, I will also be a sister to you forever. So, please, I want you to take some time to carefully reflect on what I just said, okay?"

Noah, who was intently listening to all the things she said, finally looked at her when she stopped talking.

He then opened his mouth and answered, "Callie, are you trying to convince me to give up on you?
