Chapter 157 Silent Treatment (Part One)

Terence turned around and walked out without a single word. Carla was left in a state of stupefaction, and she couldn't believe what just happened. Huddled up in her seat, she watched his figure slowly fade into the distance. The realization that he was gone brought her back to reality.

This was the first time that he had been really angry with her.

He had a soft spot for Carla and always forgave her.

This time was completely different. She pushed him over the edge and he was really mad at her.

Carla mustered up the strength to get up from her seat and walk out of the club. She looked around to see if she could spot Terence, but he was already gone.

Wade saw the whole situation unroll and obviously, Terence must have said something to him. "Miss Carla, may I take you home?" he asked with concern in his voice.

Carla attempted to force a smile, but she wasn't very good at pretending. She shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I want to walk and clear my head."

"But, Miss Carla..." Wade hesitated. The accident that happened a few days ago remained fresh in his memory. It was only natural for him to feel the way he did. He dared not to leave her alone, not even for a second.

Carla understood his concern, but all she wanted was to be alone. She put her hand on his shoulder to reassure him, "Wade, I will be fine. I'll just walk around the block. You are welcome to follow me if you want."

Saying that, she turned around and strode away. The last thing she wanted to do was go back to the seaside villa. Going back there now would drive her crazy. Carla needed to pull herself together and the only way she could do that was to get some fresh air.

She roamed the streets aimlessly and wondered how everything escalated so fast. Carla strolled past shops that had a lot of interesting commodities but none of them caught her attention. The streets were crowded with p

ge style and the mysterious beauty it held. She always loved things that had a story behind them.

"Do you know an ancient poem that goes: 'I grasped your hand, together with you, I was to grow old.' It is so romantic. Doesn't it make you want to go back to the old days when love was so much simpler? This pair of fish symbolize everlasting love," the shopkeeper explained, persuading her to buy it.

Carla really fell in love with this bracelet. It reminded her of her situation, she felt some sort of connection to it. It wasn't expensive and her need for it was uncontrollable. Knowing that she would regret not buying, Carla immediately decided to buy it.

Feeling quite satisfied with what she bought, Carla walked out of the store. It was already noon and the sun was at its hottest.

Attempting to find her way home, Carla strolled down the busy streets. Something in one of the shop windows caught her eye and she went to investigate, it was a beautiful abstract painting. She admired it for a few minutes and carried on with her journey home. JA City is so big that it was easy to lose yourself in the crowd. Anyway, Carla was lost. Sending her location to Wade, she let out a sigh of disappointment in herself and waited for him to come and fetch her.
