Chapter 176 She's Going To Be A Good Girl

Holding Carla in his arms, Terence's heart melted. He didn't have it in him to blame her for anything at all.

"Yes, I miss you so much!" Carla said, snuggling into his embrace.

It had been over a week since she came back from JA City. Carla had to admit that she really missed him.

Although she knew how far the distance was between them, she still wanted to see him as often as she could.

So when she saw him in the house, her heart did a little flip and all she wanted to do was hug him tightly. There was no point in trying to hide how she felt, and there was no need for questions to be asked. She was just overwhelmed with happiness to see him.

"Until you finally come back to JA City, I will come to see you once a week," said Terence.

While Terence was holding Carla in his arms, he could tell that she had lost some weight. He pinched her waist and criticized, "Listen, what I am going to say to you is not a joke. If I notice that you lose any more weight on the next time that I come, I will take you home with me whether you like it or not!"

When Carla heard his lovable reproach, she lifted her head and kissed him on the cheek.

"Got it! My dear boyfriend. How long are you planning to stay here? Shall I take half the day off to keep you company?" She asked with a lovely smile.

It was almost five o'clock in the morning, and Carla had three more hours before she had to go to work.

Terence looked down at the woman he had dreamed about every day and every night and sighed, "I would love to be able to do that. But unfortunately, this is just a short visit. I have work in the afternoon. I'll have to leave right after daybreak."

Carla responded with a sigh as she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on his shoulder.

For a while, they just enjoyed the moment content to be in each other's embrace. Until Terence spoke up, "Are you going to just let me sit like this until dawn?"

"Err—" Carla raised her head and looked at him with her bright eyes feeling a little embarrassed. She then playfully poked her tongue out at him and began to remove her pajamas.

Terence chuckled at her adorable reaction, and then he gave her a desirous look.

He just wanted to lie down and cuddle for a while. He wasn't expecting Carla to take the initiative and start stripping off. However, since she was already naked, he didn't want to waste her efforts.

"Carla—"

He murmured her name and groaned feeling aroused. He grabbed her waist with bo

ah was not in the mood. He said nothing but gave Julie a cold glance.

Julie immediately pulled the shirt aside and gave him a small smile and said, "Hmm— Actually, I've changed my mind. We've already chosen a lot of shirts. We can get it next time."

Carla waited for Noah to finish the payment.

Then she smiled and said goodbye to them.

Terence canceled his engagement to Bonnie because of her. Although she was a friend of Noah's, Bonnie was his little sister.

If it was possible, Carla would prefer not to run into Noah again; however, given the circumstances, she had no choice but greet him and be polite.

After that uncomfortable and awkward incident, Carla went to the supermarket for some groceries and left the store with her arms full of bags.

As soon as she came out

she saw that Noah's Rover was parked on the roadside.

Carla assumed he was busy with something else, and she walked around it, trying to avoid him.

However, a few steps later, Noah called out to her, "Carla!"

He got out of his car and rushed over to her, "Here, let me help you with those bags. It's late. I'll take you home."

Without waiting for her response, he reached out to grab the bags from her arms.

Carla jumped back like a frightened deer. She smiled awkwardly at him. "Noah, thank you. But I'll be fine, really. You have already helped me a lot. I can't ever repay you for that. I—I really don't know how to say this. But—I don't like to beat around the bush. Err—I'll try and make it simple. Let's— Let's stay away from each other!"

She tried her best to put her bags behind her so he couldn't reach them and took another step back.
