Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 132 Keep Your Distance

"Mr. Noah was really great! With just one kick, the thief was down!" Carla complimented with much

gusto.

"It must be a trick of fate that we met somewhere in BH City," Noah smiled as he took back his glance

from Carla.

Bonnie couldn't help but be stunned.

She thought that Noah could help her out but it seemed that Carla also knew him.

Since Carla, Bonnie, and Terence hadn't eaten, they decided to move to a bigger table.

Noah and Julie sat side by side, across Terence and Bonnie.

Meanwhile, Carla suddenly felt out of place. She wanted to join Nathan and Rainer at the other table.

As she stood up, Terence raised a hand to stop her. Without any word, she sat back down beside

Terence.

There was a heavy air of awkwardness during the meal.

It was so heavy and thick that one could cut it with a spoon.

Bonnie chewed her lip as she glared at Carla. The latter could feel her sharp glares while Terence was

picking food for her.

It was normal that Bonnie hated Carla.

However, Carla didn't understand why Julie also disliked her. Julie managed to mask it well though.

Women had sharp instincts, after all. Carla could pretty much sense that Julie didn't like her. It made

her wonder.

Was it because she was Noah's girlfriend and possibly Bonnie's future sister-in-law? Since Bonnie

didn't like her, there was also a chance that Julie wanted to back Bonnie up.

She just shrugged. 'Whatever. Who cares about them? Their family has nothing to do with me, ' thought

Carla.

With that, she started to eat.

She was so hungry since she was exhausted from all the mountain climbing.

During the meal, Carla didn't pay attention to their conversation and only had her focus on the delicious

fish meal in the restaurant.

After the meal, Bonnie dragged Julie out. The two women went to the pool where various Koi fishes

inhabited and a huge crowd gathered around it.

"Mr. Noah, your girlfriend is really beautiful," said Carla, looking up at him.

Terence went to find Nathan, and she wasn't fond of the two other women so she decided not to join

them.

In the end, she and Noah were left alone together.

Noah coughed. Anybody who was wise enough could see that Julie was only his mistress. Running

into Carla was certainly something he didn't expect.

Carla smiled and said, "It's no wonder why Mr. Noah wasn't fond of Sherry. You already had such an

amazing girlfriend. If I were a man, I would also have chosen Julie.

After all, she was more elegant and well-bred."

Noah only smiled silently.

It was true he truly felt comfortable around Julie but he never openly admitted that she was his

girlfriend.

He knew he couldn't marry Julie and

Julie was aware of it.

"Miss Carla, I seemed to have noticed something. You seem to be really close with Mr. Terence,"

Noah spoke with a hint of slyness in his voice.

Carla's wide eyes looked at his dark ones.

'Is he defending his sister now?' Carla thought.

"Of course. We have known each other for a while. He always looked after me and my little brother, so

you could say we are pretty close," Carla replied truthfully. The meal earlier was already awkward

enough with Terence doting over her.

Terence didn't seemed to be bothered by it and didn't even try to conceal his relations with her.

"Is that so? I just want to remind you that Terence was Bonnie's fiance. I hope you can keep your

distance with him," Noah said coldly with a smile.

He actually knew

what would happen if Terence and Carla got together.

If Carla's real identity as the only biological daughter of the Hua family was revealed and she was with

Terence, things would go way beyond his control.

He had to play his cards right this time, or it would be a losing battle in his side.

But he wouldn't let that happen to him.

Terence had to marry Bonnie, the adopted daughter of the Hua family.

"You don't know what happened between me and Terence, but I believe that you think that I don't

deserve him, right?"

Carla spoke in a self-mocking tone but a smile remained nonetheless. "Mr. Noah, I know I'm different

from you. So no matter what I do, I'll be laughed at as long as I stand beside people like you!"

Noah was taken aback at her reaction.

"No, Miss Carla. That's not what I meant. I..."

"Mr. Noah, I know you are Bonnie's brother and I understand how you feel. You don't want me to spoil

her happiness. You want me to keep my distance from them, right?"

Carla crossed her arms and spoke sarcastically, "It's okay. If you can find a guy who's fitting for me,

then you don't need to worry about it, alright?"

Noah was about to open his mouth to say something but decided against it. Despite her joking facade,

her melancholic eyes made his hard heart soft.

Truly, Carla should be the Hua family's pearl, his real sister, and Terence's future wife.

But right now, she was just a nobody and everyone looked down at her.

He was also one of those people who looked down on her. He had to tell her to stay away from

Terence, watch her struggle alone in supporting herself and her little brother from the sidelines.

Mixed emotions were overwhelming him. Noah closed his eyes slowly. If he wanted to win in this game, This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

he must not let his heart go soft.

"Noah, what were you talking about?"

Bonnie's voice brought him back to reality. She was just feeding fish and chatting with Julie when an

idea popped inside her head.

Noah grinned. "Ah, it's nothing important. We should probably go to the cable car now so we could go

down the mountain. It's already this late." Noah put his hands inside his pockets as he glanced at Julie.

The smile on Julie's face remained. It made her look ladylike, as if she came from a well-mannered

family.

She walked over to Noah's side quietly. She didn't do anything intimate, not even holding his hand.

Bonnie called Terence and agreed on meeting with him by the cable car.

When they had all gathered, Terence, Nathan, and Rainer were waiting for them by the entrance.

"Terence, I just have a tiny request. Can I ride the cable car with my brother?"

Bonnie put up her hands together as if she was praying. She needed to spend a moment with Noah

alone. She would let Carla have her fun this time.

"Alright." Terence instantly agreed.

Bonnie and Noah went onto the first cable since it could fit two people. Then Nathan and Rainer. Then

Julie was left alone.

She didn't mind after all. There wasn't any trace of displeasure on her face.

Finally, it was Terence and Carla's turn to hop on.

In broad daylight, Terence held her hand like a princess, letting her go in first, and finally himself.
