Chapter 767 A Wall Of Resolve Crumbled Down

Carla twinkled her eyes and bit her lips. She then spoke, "Terence, you can blame it on fate or destiny or the universe or even God. But nothing can change the truth. We can't be together anymore. I've tried my best."

"Try your best? No, you didn't."

Terence stated while he pulled her into his arms. With his forehead against hers, he continued, "Carla, I have something to share with you.

I hypnotized Susan so I could know her unbiased memory of that night. Do you know what I found out?"

Sighing in her ear, Terence said in a soft voice, "Susan told me that she didn't have time to do anything that night. The drug that my father made me drink could only make me so pliant. In that case, even if I had any reaction, I wouldn't have the strength to do anything else."

While she was listening to him, Carla's heart was throbbing. She looked up at him and said, "Is that so? That doesn't prove much, don't you think so? You couldn't do anything to her, but she could."

Carla knew that what Terence had just said was true. When she barged into that room that night, she saw that Terence had no strength at that time.

But even so, Susan could do anything to him.

To be frank, as long as he had that important "physical response", Susan could still achieve her goal.

"You don't believe me?"

Terence lifted her chin and nodded. "Okay. I'll have someone make the same dose of the drug and drink it again. Then we'll know what really happened that night."

"What are you actually saying?" Carla asked in confusion.

"It's simple. We're just going to repeat what happened that day. Then we will know whether Susan was telling the truth or not."

Terence took her hand and said, "Even if the truth can be twisted, my physical reaction can't!

Do you still remember what you said before? You said that if I can prove my innocence, you will give us one more chance to be together."

Carla could only look at his affectionate eyes and blinked.

"Well, let's see you prove it first," Carla said.

"I will, but you must keep your promise once I do."

Seeing the hesitation on her face, Terence bent over and kissed her on the lips. "You can sleep here tonight. I promise that I won't touch you."

Carla was a little stunned with the kiss but she heard so much helplessness in his voice.

"Of course, if you want, I can satisfy you however you want." Terence smiled again, took her hand and went to bed.

Carla lay down on the other side of the bed without saying anything more.

After Carla had fallen asleep that evening, Terence hands couldn't help but find their way into her waist. She had her back to him as he quietly approached her sle

most genuine way he could.

At that moment, Steven was actually inside the car. However, Carla refused him yesterday, so he didn't have even a bit of courage to face her again.

When she saw what was on the trunk, Carla was a bit stunned. After she regained her composure, she silently sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Victor. Steven is the best man I have ever met and I don't deserve him. "

Victor shook his head and responded, "Miss Carla, you may not understand but it was the first time that Mr. Steven dared to confess his love for someone after all these years.

I am so worried that he would not have the courage to fall in love again after you refused him like that."

Carla slowly lowered her head and let out a sigh. "Victor, if I can't promise him a future, I would never dare to be with him. I don't want to waste his time and affections. It wouldn't be right to put someone like him in that kind of position."

In Carla's perspective, if she didn't want to hurt Steven even more deeply, she thought that she'd better not give him any false hopes.

"He will grow up into an even better man when it comes to romantic relationships. Any girl would be lucky to have him. But unfortunately, I can't be that girl. It's just not me that he should take this road with. But I genuinely hope for the best for him, because he really deserves a better woman to love!"

Carla stared at the unfinished painting in her hand and gave it back to Victor. "Give it to him. I hope he can complete it for me. He can keep it as a remembrance."

Then she turned around and left.

Carla had no idea that Steven was in the car. When she was already midway to her building, one of the car's doors opened all of a sudden.

Steven came out of the door and quickly ran towards her.
