Chapter 310 Its Time To Come Back (1/2)

Noah's voice poured out from the phone, ”Carla, it's time for you to come back, right?”

His tone was warm but somehow, Carla felt burdensome when hearing his question. When she remained silent, he continued, ”I have prepared everything here. Our engagement banquet will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.”

No matter how gentle Noah's words were, Carla felt like they were a death warrant, making her break out in a cold sweat. His voice that used to bring her comfort was now giving her anxiety.

For the past days, she felt so happy being with Terence that she almost forgot that she was going to be engaged to Noah.

”Noah, I haven't been feeling well recently. Can I...can we...postpone the engagement for a few more days?”

Carla uneasily asked while biting her lips.

It was Noah's turn to be silent for a while.

And then he said, ”Carla, you know that our family is well-known. Once the news is released, it cannot be changed overnight, otherwise, it will cause unnecessary gossips.”

Noah paused for a while, waiting for her reaction. When she didn't, he continued in a gentle tone, ”I know you don't want to be separated from Terence, but our engagement is only a ceremony. We're only going to do it for formalities' sake.”

Finally, he said, ”Once our engagement is finished, you just need to stay here to accompany our mother for a few days. Then, no one would be on your way in going back to Terence.”

Carla slowly closed her eyes. After a long time, she could only say, ”I know.”

Noah took it as Carla's acceptance of the whole situation so he became relieved for a bit. Then he said, ”Okay, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up.”

”No, I don't need it, Noah. I'll be back by myself early tomorrow morning,” Carla immediately said. Contrary to what she had just said, she couldn't even get up from the bed at that moment because of what happened last night. How could she even go back to HA City?

She could only lie on the bed and wait for the pain to recover a little until the next day. Then, she would have a chance to be able to go back to HA City.

”Okay, the engagement will be held at 10 o'clock. Don't be late,” Noah said, emphasizing the time once more. Then, he hung up the phone.

Carla's heart uncontrollably beat quickly. Her mobile phone slipped out from her palm. Ignoring it, she leaned on the bed while she began to massage her aching temples.

At that moment, every fiber of her being was in a real turmoil. She had no idea what she could do.

How could she tell Terence that she was going to get engaged to Noah? She didn't want to hurt Terence. She didn't have any courage to face his disappointment.

But she thought, 'If I don't tell Terence today, the news will reach him one way or another after our engagement party tomorrow.
