Chapter 813 Find A Partner

"Honey, don't be like this! Such a thing will never happen again. Forget Ralph's daughter. I don't give a damn, even if she's the president's daughter or the princess of the royal family," Terence said sincerely.

He was afraid that Carla would misunderstand him and leave again.

"Prove it to me then. Well, I'm going to bed. Talk to you again soon,"

Carla said, stifling a yawn.

She was aware that Terence was staying in a place that belonged to the Qu family. Chelsea was Ralph's daughter and she knew that he had to respect her even if she created trouble.

Carla trusted her husband and did not make a big deal out of it.

Terence had traveled all the way to this place and she didn't want to create trouble and add to his problems. Although Carla didn't know the reason for his trip, she believed that he wouldn't go there without a purpose.

"Carla, trust me at all times," Terence continued in a soft voice, "Sleep well and take care of yourself. I'll come back to you as soon as I'm done with what I came to do."

Carla nodded and hung up the phone.

She was furious that a woman answered her husband's phone. But deep in her heart, she knew that Terence would never cheat on her. Her nerves seemed to calm down.

Although Carla and Terence had misunderstandings that needed to be sorted out, she knew that he would never do anything that would hurt her or potentially harm their relationship.

"Callie, are you asleep?"

Andrea walked to Carla's room and knocked on the door.

"Not yet, mom. Come on in," she answered.

Carla put down her phone and smiled at Andrea who was standing by the door.

"Mom, come here and sit with me." She patted on the bed, motioning Andrea to lie down next to her.

Andrea smiled and lay down next to her daughter. "Why are you still awake? What are you thinking about?"

Carla tucked her in and leaned on her shoulder. "Nothing. I was just talking with Terence."

"Callie, it is important for the two of you to respect each other. Terence is busy with his work, so understand that and cut him some slack."

Andrea gently patted Carla's hand.

"I do, Mom. I understand him," Carla pouted. She had listened to Terence's explanation patiently without accusing him of anything when a woman answer his phone at this hour.

Carla felt that she had behaved like a mature, understanding wife and did not understand why her mother seemed to advise her on marital issues.

"That's good. Callie, life will surprise you and you will discover many things. You should learn to remain calm and keep your anger under control. Don't react just by looking at something from the surface. Understand its deeper meaning by being patient."

Andrea didn't want her daughter

m late!"

Carla walked into the CEO's office, looking guilty for being late. She had been sleeping too much lately.

"No worries, I have booked us a table at a restaurant. Let's have lunch." Noah stood up from his chair and cast a gentle smile.

He knew that Carla would come to meet him today and had already made reservations.

"Okay, is it just the two of us? Haven't you called my sister-in-law?"

Carla asked, squirming on her seat with hesitation.

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable to have lunch with me? Your sister-in-law is at her ancestral home. Do you want me to call Tristan over?"

Noah teased as his big, brown eyes were shining with amusement.

"No, I don't. I just felt that it would be fun to have more people join us."

Carla grinned sheepishly.

"All right, let's go. I've got something to tell you. It won't be convenient if they joined us." Noah slipped on his coat and walked towards the door.

But Carla was standing on the same spot, biting her lips in hesitation. "Carla, don't tell me that you are worried that I'll do something to you." He smiled.

Noah was a married man with a son now, and so was Carla. She had a doting husband and a lovely daughter.

Although Noah could not forget Carla, he would only cherish her in his heart and would never do anything to hurt her again.

"No, let's go." Carla breathed a sigh of relief and reprimanded herself for overthinking. She felt that he wanted to talk about the business.

Moreover, there were things that belonged to the past and they had decided not to mention it again.

Noah was a smart man and there was not a chance for him to break the current balance.

The thought of it made Carla's fear vanish as she walked out of the room.

Carol, who was standing by the door also followed them to the restaurant.
