Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 369

After trying to regain her composure, she calmly told him, "Noah, now that you have admitted it yourself that you only agreed to the engagement just for the benefit of getting the Hua Group, there's no need for you to continue treating me so well. At the end of the day, it is nothing but a business move. So, why should you take it too seriously then? I really can't stand how you're being kind to me."

Carla sprang up from the sofa after giving him a piece of her mind. They had already failed to reach an agreement anyway, and all she wanted to do was let Noah understand the status of their relationship. To put it simply, they were merely partners in a deal.

She asked him to stop treating her so well due to the fear of her conscience not being able to take it.

Only then would she finally be able to put her heart at ease and not be concerned with the way he was acting.

As she stepped out of Noah's office, Carla checked what time it was and found out that it was just about time to get off from work.

She intended to go back to the Hua family and rest there for tonight so she could spend some time with Andrea.

Noah didn't go back to the Hua family with her tonight.

Carla stayed up late chatting with Andrea and then headed back to her room to get some sleep.

Given that midnight had already struck, it was unusual for her to receive a text from Terence at this time. Every time the thought of him popping up in her head, she couldn't help herself from feeling delighted. Brimming with excitement, she read the text he sent.

It read, "Carla, are you about to go to sleep?"

Deep in thought for a moment, she opted to purposefully not send him a reply. She wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine and know what it felt to be ignored.

With her mind made up, she pulled the quilt to cover herself and prepared to go to sleep.

A few hours ago on that very same night...

The air around the pub felt a little unusual. There was a sea of people inside trying to have a good time.

Sitting by the bar, Noah kept on downing one glass of wine after another.

He was quite a capable man by anyone's standards, so he rarely ever failed at anything, if at all. Be that as it might, he terribly failed with Carla an awful lot of times, to the point that he finally experienced the feeling of being defeated.

He mistakenly assumed that as long as he succeeded in getting a woman's body, he would be able to win her affection as well.

Noah whispered under his breath, "Why is it so hard to get Carla to fall in love with me?

A deal?

That's preposterous!

Does she truly believe that this is just a deal even at this point? How could she be so certain that I'm only trying to get something out of her?
