Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 399

Carla knew everything that was going on in Hua Group although she was staying at home, recovering from her miscarriage.

According to Allen's will, the only way for Noah to take over the entire family business legally was to marry Carla. Too bad for Noah, this dream obviously could no longer come true.

He was now trapped in a tight corner and the only option left for him was to leave.

"Mom, can I talk to Noah first before the meeting?"

Carla stopped at the meeting room door and looked at Andrea.

As a reaction, Andrea glanced at her and said, "Alright. But don't take long, honey. I'll wait for you inside."

She waited for Andrea to leave before going to Noah's office.

Upon seeing her, Noah's secretary nodded and stood up. She then walked to her boss' office door and opened it for her.

Noah was bent over on his desk at that time while organizing some important files. He was getting his materials ready for the meeting. Thinking that the person who came in was his secretary, he didn't look up and just continued with what he was doing.

Carla on the other hand, was a bit surprised when she saw Noah. It had only been a month but a lot had changed about him. He looked very haggard, stern even. He also looked extremely exhausted and pale.

Still thinking that it was his secretary by the door, Noah lifted his head after a while and suddenly froze upon seeing her.

Carla looked around the room before gazing at him. She had not stepped inside for a month.

"Carla, you're back."

Noah stared into her beautiful brown eyes. There was a kind of strange emotion on his face as he gazed at her. It had only been a month since he separated from Carla but it felt like a century to him.

He knew that she had started living with the Hua family last month. However, he didn't expect Carla to miscarry her baby.

He was supposed to be happy with the fact that Carla lost his rival's baby, but apparently, he was not.

Actually, he felt guilty, seeing her suffer.

Carla walked to the sofa and sat there as she casually placed her hands on her lap. She then spoke without turning to Noah, "I need to talk to you, Brother."

Noah instantly stood from his chair the moment he heard what Carla called him. It sounded weird and it was painful to his ear. He never wanted to be called her 'brother'.

He missed how she used to call him Noah. It made him feel that he was a man to her.

However, it was different now. He was nothing to her now but a brother.

"I'm sorry for being impulsive and unreasonable before. I didn't mean to hurt you, Carla." Noah walked to her as he apologized sincerely.

Carla closed her eyes for a while as she didn't want to remember anything from what happened anymore. She then replied, "It's okay, Brother. But there is no use crying over spilled milk. I don't want to hear about those miserable things again."

Carla could still remember the thrill and happiness that she felt upon finding out that she was pregnant. However, the degree of happiness she had experienced was equated with the same degree of pain that she felt when she lost her child. She didn't want to go through that again.

"I came here so we could talk about the Hua Group and the future of the Hua family, Brother."

Hearing her, Noah sat on the chair opposite the sofa and replied, "Sorry, but I have already decided..."

"Hear me out first, Brother."

Carla cut him off before looking at him. She then continued, "I know that you have been working for Hua Group for many years. You've been a director, department manager, general manager, and vice president before becoming the CEO. I know that you have worked really hard for that.

I also understand that you don't want to give up everything you already have in Hua Group. However, you aren't the type of person to submit to anyone either.

Listen, the Hua Group isn't just a tool for us to use to advance our own interests, especially money. This is the business our parents devoted their whole lives to. It was a gift that we should value and guard together. Brother, please don't leave."

Noah frowned after hearing what Carla said and looked away. He couldn't face her hopeful eyes. "Don't do this, please. I already made up my mind. It won't change anymore, Carla."

Finding his answer unacceptable, Carla stood up immediately and walked close to him.
