Chapter 95 The Ostentatious Sherry


    Ca was stunned for a moment at Noah''s sudden question. But after calming her nerves, she put on a


    smile and answered, "There is some truth in what you''re asking. After all, I don''t really know much


    about you. You are very intimidating and look very powerful. Just like a born leader. It looks like you are


    from a wealthy house and in charge of people''s livings.


    I believe that almost every woman would fear a man like you. Don''t you agree?"


    After finishing her words, Ca put on a naughty smile. She reached for her juice as she needed


    something to calm her pounding heart. But the orange juice wasn''t helpful at all.


    "You''re right. People around me are afraid of me." Noah did a quick evaluation of himself as he had


    another sip of histte. He had to admit it. Lots of people did seem to be afraid of him, even when he


    pretended to put across a tender image of himself.


    "But I hope you don''t fear me, Miss Ca. I would really like to be friends with you. If you are afraid of


    me, I will definitely feel frustrated,"


    Noah added with a gentle smile as he looked at her.


    When Ca saw Noah''s friendly smile, she couldn''t help but wonder, if perhaps, she was being way too


    nervous and wronged him.


    After all, she had no reason to fear him. She didn''t do anything to upset him or go against him in any


    way. Was it truly necessary for her to be so over cautious? He may be suspicious about her if she


    put up such a guard.


    "Well, how about you bring your brother at 9 o''clock tomorrow morning?


    Don''t refuse me. Or I will be heartbroken." As he said that, Noah pulled out two tickets andy them on


    the table in front of Ca.


    "Miss Ca, please give me a chance to prove to you that I''m not a scary person but in fact, quite


    friendly. Is that okay?"


    Noah looked into her eyes with sincerity and pleaded with her. She found it hard to resist his tender

    smile and those beautiful amber eyes.


    Ca hesitated for a moment. He really had put her on the spot. She blinked and nced down at the


    tickets. Ca really didn''t have much of a choice but to ept his offer. After a brief moment, she came


    up with an idea so that she wouldn''t have to be alone with Noah and said, "By the way, Sherry called


    me earlier and asked about you.


    How about I invite Sherry toe with us, and you can have another chance to prove to me that you


    really are friendly? What do you think?"


    Noah''s eyes twinkled and he chuckled out loud. Nodding his head, he passed her another ticket.


    "Is there anyone else that you might like to bring? I''ve got plenty of tickets," he said waving them at her


    with a smile.


    Ca looked at the pile of tickets in his hand. She thought for a moment as Jena''s grandson and Tina''s


    nephews would love a ticket each.


    However, after rethinking it, she realized it wasn''t worth it. She didn''t want to feel indebted to Noah just


    because of a few extra free tickets.


    "No one else. Just the three of us," Ca replied.


    She thanked Noah for the tickets and then said goodbye.


    Noah watched as Ca disappeared off into the distance. His friendly smile changed back into a cold


    stare and he was lost in his thoughts.


    Things had be moreplicated now.


    If only Ca was in question, Noah would be sure that he could win her heart over.


    But knowing that Terence was also involved, had suddenly made things much more difficult for him.


    That being the case, he couldn''t just kill Ca as he had originally thought to do, as it would prove to be


    too risky. He had to work out a way of getting past Terence.


    In addition to everything, Bonnie was going to be engaged to Terence. So he couldn''t afford to


    jeopardize their engagement in any way. Once Terence became engaged to Bonnie, then it would


    mean that he had no other feeling towards Ca.


    And with Terence out of the picture, he had a chance to win Ca''s heart.


    It would be more beneficial to Noah if he married Ca, instead of killing her.


    Ca was the only biological daughter of the Hua family. She would ultimately inherit all of the


    properties and assets. As for Noah, if he seeded in marrying the only heiress of the Hua family,


    whatever had belonged to him now, would still belong to him in the future.


    No. He would have even more than that.


    But the biggest problem now was to get Ca to trust him and win her heart. Once he became the son-


    inw of the Hua family, instead of an adopted son, he wouldn''t need to worry about losing his wealth


    anymore.


    And only when Ca hadpletely fallen in love with him, would he confidently bring her back to the


    Hua family to meet her biological parents.


    However, if he failed to get her to fall in love with him and marry him, then he would do everything in his


    power to stop her from ever going back to the Hua family by whatever means necessary.


    When Ca had arrived home, she waved the tickets in front of Sean and told him that they would be


    going to the Century Amusement Park tomorrow. Sean jumped up and down with joy.


    Ca smiled to see her little brother so happy. She picked up her cellphone and called Sherry to ask


    her if she would like to go as well.


    As expected, Sherry was delighted to go with them.


    Ever since Sherry went to the business party with Noah, she couldn''t stop talking about him. She had


    been so impressed with his charm.


    Ca had thought that Sherry may have been exaggerating the truth a little. But after Terence had told


    her that Noah was a member of the Hua family, she realized what Sherry had said about him was, in


    fact, the truth and not an exaggeration at all.


    That afternoon, Ca sessfully managed to mess up another blind date that she went on, with Sean


    as her secret weapon of course. Very few men were prepared to take on the responsibility of helping


    her raise her little brother.


    Early the next morning, it was just barely past seven when someone knocked loudly on the front door


    of Ca''s house. When Ca opened the door, Sherry stood there dressed in designer clothes,


    wearing a sun hat and sunsses.


    "Good morning Ca!"


    Sherry waved enthusiastically to Ca and greeted her with a big smile.


    "How do I look? Am I charming enough?" asked Sherry as she spun around for Ca to see her


    Ca felt likeughing but held it in, nodding her head instead. It was really amusing for her to see


    Sherry take so much trouble to impress Noah and twirl around doing exaggerated poses.


    "Not bad. Just like a peacock.


    As ostentatious as a peacock."


    Sherry''s bubble was burst and she pretended to make a sulky face at Ca. She walked in with


    had such a nice house. It''s so big. Do you rent it?"


    When she learned that the house had three bedrooms with a study, Sherry found it hard to believe that


    Ca could afford such a big house.


    "Sort of," Ca mumbled. "Would you like something to drink?"


    Sherry sat down on the couch and had a better look at the upholstery, she ran her hand across the


    material. "Wow, is this real leather? It''s got to be fake, right? But it does look and feel like real leather."


    After studying the couch she looked around at the rest of the decor in the room. "Yeah, the juice will be


    fine. Ca, was this house furnished when you began renting it? The rent must be very expensive. It''s


    so big and so tastefully decorated," Sherry said with curiosity written all over her face.


    Ca noticed that Sherry wasn''t going to drop the topic of the house until she got some answers. She


    poured her a ss of juice and then sat on a couch opposite her.


    "Yes. It''s my friend''s house. He doesn''t live in BH City for the time being. So he rents it to me for a


    reasonable amount that I can afford, and I can look after it for him while he is away," Ca exined.


    She had to lie about it. If she told Sherry the truth she would only dig deeper and then Ca would


    never hear the end of it.


    Besides, Sherry was so sensitive and caring. If she sensed that something was wrong then she would


    force Ca to tell her everything. Ca really didn''t want to discuss all of that with her.


    Sherry picked up the ss of juice and had a sip. She leaned forward on the edge of the couch and


    looked Ca straight in the eyes and asked, "Ca, tell me the truth. Is this Noah''s house? You and he


    are pretty close, aren''t you?"


    Ca frowned when she heard what Sherry had said and it made Ca upset that Sherry was probing


    too deeply into her private life.


    "No, it''s not. You''re over thinking it." Ca then stood up and went to Sean''s bedroom door and called


    out, "Sean, it''s time to get up!"


    Sherry put her hand to her cheek and thought for a moment. Then she turned to Ca with doubt in her


    eyes and asked, "So, how do you know Noah? I mean, he''s not just some nobody. When I went to the


    business party with him, everyone there showed him the utmost respect."


    Ca was starting to tire and develop a headache from Sherry''s relentless questions. So to finally get


    Sherry off her back, she exined the whole story to her, about the thief incident and how Noah had


    saved her.


    Satisfied with Ca''s exnation, Sherry finally understood and nodded her head.


    She couldn''t understand how someone like Ca could get to know a noble gentleman such as Noah.


    Even though Sherry attended upper-ss parties where ever possible, she still wasn''t able to meet


    someone like him.


    Sherry was bing impatient and restless. Even though it was still too early to go to the amusement


    park. She was very eager to see the charming man.


    She began to urge Ca for them to leave as soon as possible. iming that it wasn''t good for them to


    bete.


    Ca couldn''t stand to listen to her nagging anymore, so they departed shortly afterward.


    The official opening day for the amusement park was Sunday. That day was deliberately chosen to


    attract the maximum amount of people because it wasn''t a working day. There were many people


    already lined up at the gate, waiting to got inside.


    "See, that''s what I said! I told you we should havee here earlier. Look at all those people waiting in


    line to get inside now. It''s so annoying!"


    Sherryined as she looked at the long queue in front of them and stomped her foot irritated. She


    held her sun hat with one hand and said, "Ca, it''s too hot to stand in the queue out here in this sun


    all day. Why don''t you make a phone call to Noah and ask him to let us go inside without waiting?"


    Sherry was feeling hot and bothered by the sun.


    She held onto Ca''s arm and begged her to call him.
