Holding Carla in his arms, Terence's heart melted. He didn't have it in him to blame her for anything at all.
"Yes, I miss you so much!" Carla said, snuggling into his embrace.
It had been over a week since she came back from JA City. Carla had to admit that she really missed him.
Although she knew how far the distance was between them, she still wanted to see him as often as she could.
So when she saw him in the house, her heart did a little flip and all she wanted to do was hug him tightly. There was no point in trying to hide how she felt, and there was no need for questions to be asked. She was just overwhelmed with happiness to see him.
"Until you finally come back to JA City, I will come to see you once a week," said Terence.
While Terence was holding Carla in his arms, he could tell that she had lost some weight. He pinched her waist and criticized, "Listen, what I am going to say to you is not a joke. If I notice that you lose any more weight on the next time that I come, I will take you home with me whether you like it or not!"
When Carla heard his lovable reproach, she lifted her head and kissed him on the cheek.
"Got it! My dear boyfriend. How long are you planning to stay here? Shall I take half the day off to keep you company?" She asked with a lovely smile.
It was almost five o'clock in the morning, and Carla had three more hours before she had to go to work.
Terence looked down at the woman he had dreamed about every day and every night and sighed, "I would love to be able to do that. But unfortunately, this is just a short visit. I have work in the afternoon. I'll have to leave right after daybreak."
Carla responded with a sigh as she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on his shoulder.
For a while, they just enjoyed the moment content to be in each other's embrace. Until Terence spoke up, "Are you going to just let me sit like this until dawn?"
"Errâ" Carla raised her head and looked at him with her bright eyes feeling a little embarrassed. She then playfully poked her tongue out at him and began to remove her pajamas.
Terence chuckled at her adorable reaction, and then he gave her a desirous look.
He just wanted to lie down and cuddle for a while. He wasn't expecting Carla to take the initiative and start stripping off. However, since she was already naked, he didn't want to waste her efforts.
"Carlaâ"
He murmured her name and groaned feeling aroused. He grabbed her waist with both of his hands and leaned over and pressed her beneath him on the bed.
......
After an hour of passionate lovemaking with Terence, Carla only had two hours left before work and Terence also had to go then.
Time had passed so quickly it was all ready seven o'clock. Terence had some of his clothes kept in the closet at Carla's house, and he got changed and ready to go.
Terence looked lovingly down at Carla and kissed her forehead and caressed her hair.
"Go back to sleep. Don't worry about the time. I set up the alarm for you," whispered Terence before he left.
After a nap, Carla realized it was five minutes past eight. She rushed to get ready for work.
But as soon as she came out of the bedroom, she could smell a delicious aroma in the air.
Following the smell to the kitchen, she saw gruel in the pot with a note posted on the side.
It read, "I am not joking. If you don't eat well and on time, I will take you home with me next time."
She recognized his handwriting. It was just as handsome as his face.
She couldn't help laughing and shaking her head. She filled a bowl of gruel and decided to finish it before she left for work.
She'd rather be late to work by half an hour than be dragged back to JA City.
"Eat well and on timeâ"
It sounded like something a concerned parent would say to their child. But in this day and age, how many parents had the time to eat properly and on time themselves?
All kinds of bad habits and meals had hollowed out their bodies.
Carla had decided to follow Terence's advice and be a good girl. He wasn't happy that she returned to BH City without telling him. And now, he was also upset when he noticed that she wasn't looking after herself and eating correctly. So she thought it would be best, to at least, fix one of the problems.
As expected, she was late for work. But her manager was nice and let it slide.
The company she worked for was pretty good. Due to those couple days that she had worked overtime, her manager didn't make a big deal out of her being late on the odd occasion.
Carla got off work earlier today. She planned to go shopping for some clothes and groceries. She had specific orders from Terence that she had to eat well and on time.
So no more weight was allowed to be lost.
Carla's heart, felt complete knowing that Terence would be back in a week to see her again.
Sean had transferred to a new school and got used to the new environment. So there was no reason for her to force him back.
In the department store...
Carla went to the menswear section and picked out a comfortable leisure outfit for Terence. Although he had plenty of clothes hanging in the closet, she still wanted to buy one for him.
She saw a familiar figure in front of her when she was on the way to the cashier.
"Noah, this one is nice too. Shall we get this one as well?"
Julie was holding a nice light gray men's shirt in her hands and made her way to Noah, who was ready to pay at the cash register.
Inevitably, Julie noticed Carla as well and froze for a second. Then she said with a smile on her face, "Hey, Carla! It's nice to see you. Are you here for your boyfriend too?"
Noah looked back and found Carla was standing behind him. She gave him a smile and replied, "Hi, Noah and Julie. It's good to see both of you too!
What a coincidence! We're shopping in the same store."
This department store was famous for its menswear, and Carla knew Terence's taste. That was why she came here to shop for him.
It wasn't a surprise running into Noah here because he had good taste in clothes as well.
"Good to see you," said Noah. 'She came back!' Noah thought slyly.
He glanced over at the bag Carla was holding and then turned back, taking his card out of his wallet and handing it over to the cashier.
Julie held the shirt up against Noah and said again, "Noah, I think this looks really nice on you as well. Let's get it too."
She looked him up and down, admiring the color and style.
Noah was in such good physical shape that even a potato sack would have looked good on him.
However, It was evident that Noah was not in the mood. He said nothing but gave Julie a cold glance.
Julie immediately pulled the shirt aside and gave him a small smile and said, "Hmmâ Actually, I've changed my mind. We've already chosen a lot of shirts. We can get it next time."
Carla waited for Noah to finish the payment.
Then she smiled and said goodbye to them.
Terence canceled his engagement to Bonnie because of her. Although she was a friend of Noah's, Bonnie was his little sister.
If it was possible, Carla would prefer not to run into Noah again; however, given the circumstances, she had no choice but greet him and be polite.
After that uncomfortable and awkward incident, Carla went to the supermarket for some groceries and left the store with her arms full of bags.
As soon as she came out she saw that Noah's Rover was parked on the roadside.
Carla assumed he was busy with something else, and she walked around it, trying to avoid him.
However, a few steps later, Noah called out to her, "Carla!"
He got out of his car and rushed over to her, "Here, let me help you with those bags. It's late. I'll take you home."
Without waiting for her response, he reached out to grab the bags from her arms.
Carla jumped back like a frightened deer. She smiled awkwardly at him. "Noah, thank you. But I'll be fine, really. You have already helped me a lot. I can't ever repay you for that. IâI really don't know how to say this. ButâI don't like to beat around the bush. ErrâI'll try and make it simple. Let'sâ
Let's stay away from each other!"
