Chapter 79 He Was Getting Engaged


    It made Terence swallow what he intended to say, quickly.


    ''Only for you, Ca, '' Terence thought to himself.


    He wasn''t always a man of his word. He would make random promises to others when he had to, yet


    whether he would keep them was anotherpletely different matter.


    But he meant every word he had said to Ca. He said he loved her and he would protect her and


    Sean, and he would no matter what. There was no way he would ever let her leave him.


    "Take good care of yourself. By the way, I will send you an invitation when I get engaged. Because you


    saved my life. But you don''t need toe with gifts. I understand your situation,"


    Terence said slowly and with difficulty in his low and deep voice. But it was difficult to tell what his true


    feelings were without listening carefully.


    Ca was angry when he finally admitted that he would take another woman. And now, he said that he


    would send her an invitation card to his engagement party. He even implied that she couldn''t afford the


    gifts guest would give the couple, which made her even angrier.


    "Gifts? Damn you, Terence! Go to hell! I never want to see you again!"


    she blurted out an angry curse.


    Terence smiled silently to himself. But there was not a single hint of delight in his eyes.


    "How rude! You are such an ungracious woman. You''re only worthy enough to be married to a lowlife,


    such as a peasant or aborer.


    I''m going to hang up now. I have told you all you need to know. There is nothing more to say to you."


    Terence hung up the phone. The very moment he put the phone down, a pair of delicate hands with


    purple nail polish snaked their way around his waist and hugged him. "Terence, it''ste. Why don''t you


    go to bed? Be careful or you will catch a cold. It''s freezing here on the rooftop at night."


    Terence looked down at the pair of delicate hands. Ca''s skin were also very fair, but she never wore


    nail polish.


    She always cooked for her brother with that pair of fair hands, even though it wasn''t delicious.


    She did what she wanted to do, without beating around the bush.


    Ca was infuriated when Terence hung up on her.


    She threw the phone on to the bed angrily. She wished she were an eagle and could fly over to JA City


    to scratch Terence with her talons until he was all bloodied. With both hands clenched into fists, she


    yelled out, "Ungracious? Me? Ha, Ridiculous!


    How dare you, Terence! I''m the ungracious one now, huh? If I had been so ungracious, I would not


    have saved your life in the first ce! Casting me aside now just so you can be with another woman?


    Shame on you Terence! You''re the ungrateful one here! And what? I can only marry a lowly peasant,


    huh? Then why did you have to keep pestering me, since I''m certainly not good enough for a noble


    master like you?"


    Ca squeezed and kneaded the quilt irritably while she thought of him and his offensive insults. ''Well,


    that bastard has banished all thoughts of sleep tonight.'' She was wide awake too worked up to go to


    sleep.


    "Pfft..."Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She punched her pillow too hard and identally knocked her wound. The pain was so bad that she


    felt a cold sweat rising.


    Ca clenched her teeth in pain and cursed Terence with all the mean words she could think of the


    whole night.


    The next morning, when Ca saw the driver, Carey Zhang, downstairs, she was a little surprised. He


    still came to pick Sean up and take him to school, as usual. So she went downstairs to exin some


    things to him.


    Since she had broken up with Terence, there was no longer a reason for Ca to ept Terence''s


    generosity anymore.


    "Miss Ca, Mr. Terence had already paid for the cost of this service for one year. He pays me the


    money, I feel obligated to answer only to he. Surely you won''t make me pay the money back to him and


    leave, will you?"


    Carey Zhang was about forty years old and he exined to Ca, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "Mr.


    Terence gave me this job only because of my reliability. It allows me to take care of my old mother who


    has been bedridden for many years at home when I am free. Heaven knows I really need this job."


    After hearing Carey Zhang''s exnation, she couldn''t say any more.


    "I see. Go about your business," said Ca.


    Terence would always be so preupied with business matters. And now his engagement was around


    the corner. Would Terence even remember such a trivial thing as the driver that he had appointed for


    Ca?


    Especially since he had nock of money. It would be difficult for him to remember such a small


    insignificant amount of money that he paid in advance for.


    "Miss Ca, if you need me to drive you anywhere, just let me know.


    I usually just take little Sean to school and pick him up after his sses are finished, so I have plenty of


    time."


    Carey Zhang''s nerves had settled once he saw that Ca had epted his story. Fortunately for


    Carey, Terence had already told him what to say just in case this very situation should arise.


    Otherwise, he really wouldn''t have known how to reply to Ca''s question, especially since she asked


    unexpectedly.


    That afternoon, the police called her and informed Ca that her belongings had been recovered. She


    had to go into the police station and give them a witness statement before she could collect them.


    When Ca arrived at the police station, she saw the man who had saved her that day.


    She remembered that he said his name was Noah.


    "Mr. Noah?" Ca called out as she approached him.


    Noah was signing some papers when he heard someone call out his name. He turned to see who it


    was.


    Ca was wearing an elegant, sheer, ink-hued chiffon skirt. That went down to her mid calves and a


    white T-shirt with sandals. Although the top didn''t hide her bandages, she still looked very chic. The


    skirt rippled gracefully when she walked.


    Ca waved her hand at Noah to say hello.


    She looked sweet and elegant with her shoulder-length hair out. Ca wasn''t a person who would


    stand out in a crowd, but she did have a natural beauty that seemed to draw people''s attention to her.


    Even though she was dressed in elegant clothing and looked like a realdy, anyone who knew Ca


    could tell that wasn''t who she really was. Ca was actually a very lively and vigorous young woman


    other than a quiet and sheepish one.


    When Noah saw her, his eyes shed in astonishment for a brief moment.


    Indeed, she was very simr to the young version of Mrs. Andrea. Though having never attended any


    etiquette sses in her life, Ca had a natural temperament. Much like a delicate and noble orchid,


    but at the same time, she could also be a thorny rose.


    Everyone could see her natural grace and potential. The only one that didn''t, was Ca herself.


    "Miss Ca, hello. I''m here to give my witness statement. Are you here for that as well?"


    Noah gave her a gracious smile. On the surface, he appeared to be such a gentleman. But in fact, what


    Noah studied her features. He noticed her delicate white skin and her eyebrows were natural with a


    beautiful arch. She had inherited her eyes from Mrs. Andrea, captivating and yet resourceful.


    "Yes I am. They have found what was stolen from me," she answered with a pleasant smile. Ca


    didn''t notice the emotions in his eyes. She sat down in a chair opposite a policewoman and was asked


    a series of routine questions by her.


    After she had given her witness statement, Ca collected the bag that was stolen from her and


    opened it up to check the contents. She was pleasantly surprised to find that everything was still there.


    She had only a small amount of cash in the bag at the time. She was most concerned about those


    import documents and was greatly relieved to find them all there.


    "Mr. Noah?


    You''re still here. Can I invite you to dinner?


    To thank you for saving my life,"


    Ca said when she walked out the police station and saw Noah. He was standing next to a ck


    Land Rover outside the police station and had just finished a telephone conversation. He looked up at


    her as he tucked his cellphone away.


    "Well, I don''t have a ce in mind, for dinner. Since you''re from BH City, Miss Ca, you would know


    where all the delicious food is,"


    Noah said with a friendly smile. He had epted her offer.


    Just moments before Ca had arrived, someone had called Noah on the phone. It was to tell him that


    the test results had confirmed, without any doubt, that Ca was the daughter of the Hua family. She


    was somehow lost many years ago.


    Indeed, she was the only daughter.


    Andrea had never had another child since Ca''s birth. Allen Huater had to adopted three sons and


    a daughter.


    But this was a well-hidden secret of the Hua family. Almost no outsider knew anything of it.


    "Well, I''d like to treat you to dinner today. Just give me a moment. I''ll see if there are any seats


    avable," Ca pulled out her cell phone. It was the least that she could do. To treat Noah to dinner,


    given that he had saved her life.


    Even though she wouldn''t usually go to fancy expensive restaurants, this asion shouldn''t be


    skimped on.


    Ca started to search for the most luxurious restaurants in BH City on the Inte. After finding the


    customer service number of one, she dialed the number.


    Whilst Ca was on the phone inquiring about seat reservations for them, she didn''t notice


    the cruel intent behind the eyes of the man that she was about to have dinner with.
