Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 367 You Are My Wife As You're Pregnant With My Baby

"Stay here. It's still early. I'll make breakfast for you," Terence said gently to Carla. He then grabbed

Carla's bag from her and hung it on a shelf beside him.

Without any more words, he took an apron and started for the kitchen.

"No! I've had breakfast," Carla shouted at him when she saw the man had gone away.

Terence went out of the kitchen at that same time, kicking the garbage can at the door. "What's this?

Just a box of yogurt? Is this box of yogurt enough to my wife and child?"

Silently, Carla lowered her head and muttered, "I'm not your wife yet."

"What did you say, Carla?"

Terence was originally on his way back to the kitchen. However, his steps immediately halted when he

heard what Carla said. He came to her while rolling his sleeves. "You are carrying my baby. If you're

not my wife, then who should be my wife?

We will work on getting our marriage certificate as soon as we get back to JA City. After Grandpa's

operation, we will start planning for our wedding."

Carla wanted to refuse him but was stopped when she saw the determination in his eyes. Helplessly,

she bowed her head silently again.

She actually thought of reminding him that her engagement with Noah hadn't been canceled yet.

However, she also thought that setting an issue like that would be just like a piece of cake with

Terence.

After all, engagements, even in the ordinary family, would face many variables, let alone in Hua family.

Terence fried two eggs and made a delicious dish for her. It was too late to cook the porridge, so he

asked Rainer to buy some for her.

Upon Carla finishing her breakfast, Terence ordered Rainer to send her to her workplace.

She honestly found it more convenient when Rainer worked as her driver. She was able to visit several

stores around BH City and saw their actual sales reports. Thus, she was able to finish her investigation

report. She then went to the Hua Group branch in BH City.

After all her business was done, Carla felt that it was still early, so she went to visit Karen.

Later, she also asked if she could visit her former small home and checked on her old neighbors but

Rainer rejected her request.

To be exact, it was Terence's order.

Terence thought that Carla would feel tired after her work. Thus, he didn't allow her to roam so much

anymore.

In the end, Carla's only choice was to return to Terence's house in BH City.

On the other hand, Terence was scheduled to return to JA City long ago, but he changed and

readjusted his plans upon knowing about Carla's pregnancy.

After living in BH City for another night, Carla returned to HA City the next day although Terence

disagreed.

He wanted to take her to JA City.

He tried to raise his concern about it but finally allowed her to go back to HA City after a while.

Nonetheless, he was extremely reluctant. He watched Carla walk into the Hua Group with his own eyes

that day.

"Mr. Terence, shall we go back? You've been watching the gate for an hour..."

Rainer couldn't help interrupting Terence's thoughts. He was afraid that Terence might decide to move

the Hua Group's building to JA City on an impulse.

Then, Rainer added, "Mr. Terence, don't worry. One month is very short, and it will pass quickly. Now

that Miss Carla already knows she is pregnant, she will pay more attention to her own health. So, don't

worry. Miss Carla won't let anything bad happen to her."

Rainer knew Terence's worries and tried to persuade him.

Terence, who was sitting in the backseat, stroked his chin with one hand and said, "I have a task for

you, Rainer. Go to Carla's new villa in HA City. Try every means to bribe the two maids. Pay them three

times the salary they are getting, as long as they can take good care of Carla."

"Yes, Mr. Terence. I'll do it right now!"

replied Rainer before getting out of the car.

"As for you, Nathan. Inform our planted agent in the Hua Group to report anything unusual happening

here right away. Also, arrange for a reliable person to watch over Carla closely,"

Terence ordered Nathan too after thinking for a while.

To be honest, he was still hesitating about letting Carla come back. It was indeed reasonable for him to

worry about Carla.

Based on the reports that he had received lately, Carla had suffered a lot in the Hua Group. They made

her carry bucket, run laps, and even ride horses. It was likely that someone might make trouble for her.

It was fortunate that his child wasn't harmed while Carla was suffering. However, he needed to be sure

that such things wouldn't happen to her again.

After a while, Rainer and Nathan finished the task ordered by Terence.

Only then did Terence reluctantly return to JA City. After coming back, he went to tell this good news to

Nicholas.

By that time, Carla was already back to the Hua Group.

She stayed in dazed before her computer the whole day. She couldn't help pulling on the radiation-

proof clothe she was wearing underneath her suit. She was very uncomfortable.

As a matter of fact, she didn't want to wear these clothes but Terence insisted and even put them on

her himself. He was mumbling about the scattered computers everywhere in the office and how afraid

he was that their baby might be harmed by the radiation.

She couldn't help laughing with how Terence looked while talking about it earlier.

Truth be told, she thought that this child was indeed her lucky star. At least, the child made Terence

surrender to her without any hesitation and conditions. He didn't even dare to irritate her. Thus, she

didn't have to worry anymore about him being robbed by another woman.

"Carla? Mr. Noah is asking you to come to his office!"

one of her colleagues spoke after approaching her.

"Oh, I see," Carla immediately responded. Then, she saved the revised plan in the computer, got up,

and went to the top floor.

Carla psychologically prepped herself while inside the elevator. She was feeling guilty although it would

still take a long time before her baby bumps showed.

She had already been engaged to Noah but then, here she was, pregnant with another man's baby.

Thus, she couldn't help but feel sorry to Noah.

Carla calmed down after reaching Noah's office door. She took a deep breath and then knocked.

"Come in!"

Noah welcomed her with a big embrace as soon as she entered.

"Carla, why didn't you come up to see me first after you came back?" he whispered in a slightly

scolding tone. He held her close to him for a long time before letting her go.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to revise the sales plans for all the areas as soon as possible. The cities I went

to this month are all in the sales stagnation areas. I think it is necessary to revise the sales plans after

my investigations."

Carla advisably took the work as her excuse. Then, she grabbed Noah's hand and said with a smile,

"And I want to go back to see Mother in the evening."

"Okay," answered Noah instantly while smiling back. He then held her hand and took her to the table

beside them. He pulled out a design sketch from the drawer and showed it to her.

"Look at this! Do you like it?"

Carla's face froze when she saw what was on the design sketch. For a moment, her smile stiffened.

"Did you design this personally?"

she asked, thinking that the clear pencil marks on the drawing were not like printing.

"Yes. When I was studying abroad, I dabbled in jewelry design. And I think my own design will be much

more meaningful than others' works," Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Noah said. He stared at the design sketch of the wedding ring and said, "Try to check it. If there is

anything that you don't like, I can modify it until you are satisfied..."

Carla didn't say any words.

Her thoughts were suddenly reeling at the moment. She took the paper and ran her trembling fingertips

on the drawing. She could feel the deep affection oozing from every line of that design.

And it made her guilt weigh her down more.

She thought it was hard to ignore how much Noah loved her regardless of how cruel he was.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it? It doesn't matter. You just have to tell me what to change."

Worry instantly showed on Noah's face the moment he noticed her dissatisfaction.

"No, no," Carla denied right away. She secretly took a deep breath and evaded his stare. She had to

cover how panic she was. "Very good! Noah, the drawing is pretty good.

I just don't think I deserve all these things that you are doing for me."

Shocked by her words, Noah grabbed her shoulder and asked, "What happened? Why are you saying

that?"
