"Carla! What happened? Are you alright?"
Sean worriedly asked, looking so concerned as he quickly turned back after hearing his sister screaming.
Carla suddenly grabbed Sean's hand to stop him from running away again.
"I'm fine now. But don't you ever dare run away from my sight again next time. You got that?"
Sean, as he was staring at her, quickly nodded his head and reassured her he wouldn't be doing it again.
Without even giving Sherry any response, Carla simply dragged Sean and exited the ghost house.
Watching all of that, Sherry and Noah also followed them soon after.
With her hand still keeping a tight grip on Noah's arm, Sherry suggested, "Noah, since it's still quite early. How about we go for a dinner? What do you say?"
When she asked Noah, she just meant the two of them going a dinner date by themselves, as she wasn't really able to get any opportunities to spend some alone time with him all day long.
"Sure. That's actually a great idea." Noah went ahead a little and asked, "Carla, Sean, it's getting a bit late now. Shall we have a nice dinner before heading home? I know of a nice place to eat just around the corner. I've been there once before when I went with a client. Why don't we just head straight there?"
Upon hearing what Noah just said, Carla turned back and glanced at the two persons who were walking right behind them. Then, she shifted her gaze toward Sean and caught him wilting. As it turned out, he was now feeling so famished after running around and playing the whole day.
"Then..." Carla was suddenly cut off before she could even give an answer.
"Oh, right! Carla, didn't you tell me earlier that you still had some matters to attend to this evening?"
Upon noticing that Carla was about to say yes to Noah, Sherry interrupted her straight away. Secretly winking at Carla, Sherry tried her best to implore her to decline Noah's invitation.
She was so desperate to get Noah all to herself because it would be a great opportunity to further their relationship. That being so, she was hoping that Carla could leave the two of them alone this evening.
Carla instantly understood what Sherry wanted to insinuate when she said those words. Judging from the fact that Sherry hadn't ever gotten her arms off of Noah's even once that day, it seemed quite obvious how eager Sherry had been to let everybody know that this man belonged to her, and that no one could ever be allowed to take him away from her.
"Yeah, you're right. I completely forgot that there was something else I still have to deal with this evening. You two go ahead and enjoy dinner together." Carla didn't want to expose Sherry's plans, because, after all, she wasn't interested in Noah anyway. So, she couldn't care less what tricks Sherry had up her sleeve to get a hold of Noah's heart.
