"Don't go. You don't need to do that Carla. My feelings for you have not changed. I don't mind your appearance at all," Terence said dotingly.
Then, he held her tightly but let go of her after a while for fear that she couldn't stand for a long time because of her injured leg.
He stared at her and reached out to fix her messy hair. He noticed how excited she looked yet she was tearing up. He smiled helplessly and gently pinched her cheeks.
He asked in a rather softer voice, "Why are you crying? I'm here with you already."
However, when she heard his voice, she couldn't help but cry harder. Tear after tear kept flowing from her eyes. Then, she placed her arms around Terence's neck tightly for fear that he would disappear the next second.
She exclaimed with sadness in her voice, "I thought you didn't want me anymore.
I thought that you might be tired of me and would never talk to me anymore. I thought that you would dump me.
You haven't contacted me for so many days. Haven't you considered calling me or sending me a message? Do you have any idea how much I miss you? Terence, you are such a cruel man."
As a response, Terence held Carla's waist tightly and stroked her back affectionately to calm her down and stop her from crying so much.
In an attempt to comfort her, he said, "If I'm really cruel then I won't climb the wall in the middle of the night just to have a chance to look at you."
He didn't contact her at all because he knew that once he heard her voice, he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to see her.
Carla was just everything to him. He couldn't stand living without her by his side. As long as she needed him, he would do everything just to be with her.
But that night, he missed Carla so much. After spending so many nights without her by his side and so many days missing her, he came to see her without any hesitation.
Due to the fact that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Terence wasn't used to making a lot of effort in getting what he wanted. People would always give it to him in a blink of an eye.
However, ever since Carla came back to HA City, he had kept his private plane available at any time so he could see her whenever he wanted.
At that moment, Carla was still holding Terence's neck so tightly that he was actually close to being choked to death. However, she seemed to be unaware of the fact that Terence was uncomfortable.
"Carla, let go of my neck p-please. I am out of breath," Terence struggled to say while he reached one hand to pull Carla's hand off him tenderly. He stretched the other hand to lift her injured leg for fear that she would be tired using that leg to stand.
He knew that she hadn't recovered totally and couldn't stand for so long.
With these thoughts, Carla took a deep breath to calm herself down. She attempted to repress the painful thoughts that wouldn't stop from whispering in her head. She lowered her head quietly and used the back of her hand to firmly wipe her lower lip.
It seemed like she wanted to remove everything that Noah left on her lips. Even though so many days had already passed since the engagement banquet took place.
"Why are you crying again? I was in such a hurry to come and see you that I haven't had the time to take a bath or even clean myself. Besides, I smoked before I came in. I'm afraid that my breath smells and it might make you sick," Terence stated sincerely. He frowned while he drew her face up to his and saw her red eyes full of tears.
Today, it was already late when Terence came home. He went directly to accompany Sean and that was when he saw Carla's text message. So it didn't give him time to go back to his own room and take a bath or change clothes.
When Carla finally understood his explanation, she smiled through the tears. For the third time, she went closer to Terence and smelled him. She quipped, "I don't mind that at all. Don't you remember how I didn't care what you looked like or how you smelled when you had stayed in the forest for one month? Compared with that, this is nothing at all."
While she said that, she pondered in her head, 'Do couples have to brush their teeth first before they kiss?
When you're struck with the feeling to kiss your partner, don't you just do it? Otherwise, that's too strange.'
Terence frowned at first and then he laughed. He lightly pushed up her chin, looked into her eyes, and kissed her lightly on the lips in order to comfort her.
