Chapter 712 Overprotective (1/2)
Carla never took an important situation as a joke.
Terence had seen it before.
Aside from that, he also knew the amount of food she could eat. At that moment, she only had a few bites, and that wasn't even enough to fill her stomach.
”Carla, just enjoy your meal and eat it, or else, I will take you back home and won't allow you to come to work tomorrow.”
His face held a serious expression as he looked at her.
As soon as she felt that he wasn't in a good mood, she gave him a beam while putting the design draft away then grabbed the brush out of his hand. ”Okay, I'm sorry. I'll eat it now.”
She grabbed his hand then pulled him to sit down, eating with him afterward.
From a deadpan expression, his face turned into a relaxed one.
After dinner, Carla glanced at him and cleared her throat, standing up from her seat. ”Terence, I'm going back to my office now.”
”Wait. Have a cup of tea before leaving.”
He rolled up his sleeves then poured some tea into the teacup.
She pouted and didn't utter a word. As she went to the tea table, she placed her elbows on it then rested her chin on her hands while watching him being very careful, washing the cups.
Afterward, he poured some tea into her cup then gave it to her. ”Honey, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow. It's really important. So, I want you to stay home and don't go out by yourself, okay?”
After what Mr. Chang did to her before, he became so worried about her whenever she was alone outside. He was even planning to limit her freedom just to her away from any harm.
”Business trip, huh? How long would you be there?”
Carla gave him a questioning look.
He paused after taking a sip. ”Ten days.”
”Ten days? You'd be away for that long?”
Ten days felt ten years for her, and as that thought kept on running in her mind, she became upset.
”Honey, you can come with me if you want.” A grin made its way on his lips as soon as he noticed her hesitant expression.
She waved her hand dismissively. ”Well, forget about it. I don't want to leave Sally.”
