Chapter 248 Ask Her Out (2/2)

”Okay, I'm not gonna go. Don't be mad anymore.” Carla stared into Terence's angry eyes with eyes she filled with lots of calm. She caressed his chest with her free hand. Terence closed his eyes as she listened to his breath as it calmed down.

She had no idea how Johnny got her number. But she didn't want him to have th

he right one for him.

She was clever and smart, but she was also an ordinary girl, and sometimes very vulgar. How could she be a good match for him?

He thought about sending her some money to repay her for all her help. With that money, she and her brother would be comfortable for the rest of their lives.

And when Carla arrived that night and found him, he gave up the idea.

He could still smell the rich scents of the hibiscus flower from that night. From then on, he had always seen her as the angel that brought him back from the dark.

From then on, something changed in him. He felt different, a good different.

And when Karen made that misunderstanding, it became a turning point in their relationship.

She might have been trying to hide it from him but, at that moment, she realized what and how much she felt for him.

And, at that moment, his heart melted.

He didn't want to miss her ever again.

She was the only one who made his heart flip. She could be his one and only. And if he couldn't have her then, he might miss his chance to know his only one and never have the opportunity again.

”Carla? Carla?”

Terence called. Carla had fallen asleep, dead tired. Terence moved to his side to get off of her. He lifted his arm so he could pull Carla into his arms and his embrace.

Carla breathed heavily from the exhaustion. She looked like a baby with her flushed cheeks.

”I know I've never said this to you, but I love you, Carla,”

Terence whispered. He kissed her gently on the cheeks and embraced her even tighter and brought her closer to his warm and safe chest.
