Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 325

The scent of booze suddenly filled the air around Carla. When she saw Noah who looked like a drunken mess, she put down the book she was reading.

Noah appeared to her groggily. He fixed his collar as he walked towards her with wobbly steps.

"Noah!" came Carla's surprised voice. "Why do you smell like..."

"I know I drank a bit," Noah interrupted her. "I saw that the light in your room is still on so I decided to pay you a visit." Noah took a seat beside her and held her delicate hand. "Are you feeling better? Does your leg still hurt?"

Carla stared down at the hand held by him. Deep inside, she wanted to pull away.

"I'm feeling better now. It doesn't hurt," Carla said.

But Noah didn't feel her pulling away at all and his grip around her hand tightened. His other hand held her shoulder.

"Carla, will it be alright to hug you for a little while?" He asked hoarsely.

He wrapped his arms around her, dipping his chin onto her head. "Please don't push me away. I know you like Terence but can you give me a chance? Can you accept me?

Father hoped that we can be together and married. And I, as well, hope that you can be my wife!"

Carla tried to push him away but his grip only had gotten stronger.

"Noah, you're drunk and you're spouting nonsense. It's best if we talk about this tomorrow morning."

Noah shook his head. He grabbed her by the chin, forcing her to gaze back at him. "I'm sorry, Callie, but no. It's better like this. I won't have any courage to talk about it when I'm sober."

He sighed, "Callie, Terence isn't the only man in this world. I know I am not good enough and I don't deserve you. But I will try my best to make you like me."

He looked at her with fire in his eyes. "I am trying to improve myself even if you don't care about it at all.

I have never slept with any other woman since the dinner in the Gangnam Building last time. I just want to show you that I can do what that guy can do for you!"

He was aware that Terence did the same. Terence never touched any other woman except Carla.

Carla was shocked by his words. She thought, 'So it has been two months since the last time he slept with someone.'

It made her wonder and she thought it was completely unnecessary to restrain himself for her sake.

Even if they had gotten engaged, she didn't really mind whatever he wanted to do in his private life. It didn't matter who he slept with.

Why? She never wanted to marry him in the first place.

"Noah, you don't really need to do this," She sighed. "I don't think you need to restrain yourself for me. It's completely useless."

Then she tried to release herself from his arms. All of a sudden, she felt that a pair of wine-scented lips pressed on hers.

Carla felt her anger flare up. Her eyes went wide and she tried to push him away.

Noah never did anything extreme until that moment.

This was the first time he had kissed her on his own accord. He did gave her a quick peck during the engagement banquet but it was all for the show.

She continued struggling but he was bigger and stronger than her. He wrapped her wrists with his hands and pushed her down onto the bed.

His lips covered hers again, domineering and full of need. He made sure she was unable to refuse him.

He was completely out of control. He just wanted to taste her sweetness at first but when he finally gotten a taste, he craved for more.

All of a sudden, he broke the kiss. He felt iron drip onto his tongue. He frowned as he released her.

He touched his bleeding lower lip.

There was a bit of his blood on Carla's lips. She glared at him. She was trying to catch her breath in a cold sweat.

"Noah! You have promised me that you won't force me! What the hell are you doing?"

Carla shouted, "This is the real you, huh? Did you pretend to be a gentleman back then?"

He wiped the blood off his lips with his thumb. He snickered and said, "Carla, I have told you that I am not a good man from the very beginning."

She finally realized that Noah knew that she went out with Terence that afternoon.

She thought for a second, 'Is he monitoring me?'

She knew that Noah was not a simple man. What happened earlier made her realize that he was more complex than she thought.

His gentleness was just a trap. She fell for it and it was hard for her to get out of.

She finally understood why Terence kept telling her to be cautious of him.

Now that she had already been engaged to Noah, it was too late for her to regret it.

Did she even had any other choice?

Even if she did, it might cause ruin to the Hua family's reputation and she would be disgraced.

On the other side, Terence finally came back to JA City.

It was late at night when he returned to the Seaview Villa but he didn't expect that someone was waiting for him inside.

"Father, it's late. What's the matter? Why did you come here?" Terence greeted Edmund.

He looked at Edmund who sat in the armchair in the living room. He better prepare himself for the nonsense his father would be telling him.

"Where have you been?" Edmund asked.

He had waited for his son for so long that he had drunk more than ten cups of tea.

"I was on a business trip," Terence replied casually, raising his shoulders a bit. He sat on the sofa and rubbed his nape, which was hurting from sitting for a long time inside the plane.

"Stop lying. Did you just go to HA City again?" Edmund felt angry when he knew his son was lying in front of his face with no signs of remorse.

"Very well then. I apologize for lying, father. Now that you knew where I went, why did you still ask me?" Terence said faintly while taking the tea cup from the table.
