Chapter 128 I''m A Disobedient Girl
Terence called Nathan and asked him to bring a cup of coffee. He looked up at Bryant through his long
thickshes.
"Of course I want to do that but I can''t. You know nothing about the situation of the Hua family. Under
the calm waters are the dark tides. It just seems like everything is going smoothly, but in reality,
conflicts continue to spread and intensify. If we expose Ca''s real identity this time, we would put her
in danger," Terence expounded on the situation.
Hearing Terence''s exnation, Bryant hesitated for a moment. He was an expert in searching for
information but he had no idea about theplication of power struggle between warring families.
"But...that can''t be true! Miss Ca is the only true biological daughter of the Hua family. Isn''t she
supposed to be the apple of their eyes? How could she be in danger?" Bryant curiously asked.
Terence just sneered and shook his head.
"Bryant, you don''t understand. I know this kind of family very well. The Hua family adopted three sons.
Aside from Bonnie, those three sons have already been fighting tooth and nail for the family
inheritance. The mere presence of Ca, being the only true biological daughter would only make them
unite to bring her down," Terence rified.
With arge fortune in front of them, even biological siblings became enemies, what more would
happen with family members who are not rted by blood?
If Ca''s true identity was made public at this moment, she would be everyone''s target.
After hearing Terence''s concerns, Bryant fully understood his reasons.
"How silly of me! If that''s the case, Mr. Terence, you must take good care of Miss Ca and keep her
away from the Hua family or she would be in danger!" Bryant concluded.
It was clear then that the situation was not just any small matter. The Hua family had such a huge
wealth and influence that it wouldn''t be surprising if people killed each other for it.
"You shouldn''t worry about that. Ca is my future wife. Of course, I''ll keep her safe," Terence
confidently assured him. Terence called on Nathan—who was waiting at the door—toe in.
Then, he turned off theptop and sat down on the sofa.
"Here''s your coffee, Mr. Terence." Nathan ced the mug on the table and stood quietly behind him.
Having sat for too long, Terence started to feel pain on his back. He stretched his shoulders and ced
his hand on the arm of the sofa, fingers tapping gently on it. "Nathan, you told mest time that Noah,
the eldest son of the Hua family, tried to approach Ca. Is there any other thing about that encounter
that seems significant?" Terence carefully asked Nathan.
Nathan thought for a moment before speaking,"we found out that Noah was the one who instructed the
robbery. But we still don''t know his real intention."
Terence squinted. Nathan''s words cast a shadow over his eyes. His taps on the edge of the sofa
became faster and faster.
Now, he finally understood.
Noah must have been aware of Ca''s real identity. That was why he tried to approach her. But why
hadn''t he taken action yet? Or was he plotting something else?
There was one thing he knew for sure. Noah was the smartest in the Hua family. Otherwise, he
wouldn''t be the first one to find out the truth.
Since Noah knew about it, he must have had a detailed n already.
If that was the case, Noah was bound to be his enemy in the days toe.
Without a doubt, Noah would certainly take advantage of Ca
In the next room, Ca was sound asleep. She had raised her voice at Terence earlier, but after that,
she could finally rest. She waspletely unaware that Terence was staying up all night for her sake.
The next morning, Ca got up early. Although the servants always took care of Sean and his needs
and she didn''t have to look after him herself, she still voluntarily chose to do it. Old habits certainly die
hard. As an early riser, she got out of bed as usual and helped the servants prepare breakfast for Sean.
"Sophie, Te— Er...Mr. Terence, is he still asleep?"
Ca was about to casually call Terence by his name, but she corrected herself immediately.
After all, he was the master of this house. It might be alright if she called his name privately, but doing
so in front of the servants would be too impolite.
"Miss Ca, Mr. Terence stayed uptest night. He''s probably still sleeping right now. Mr. Nathan told
us not to disturb him a moment ago,"

Sophie—the maid—answered her with a warm smile. She then continued,"Breakfast is ready, Miss
Ca. Why don''t you sit down and have a bite?"
"Oh. Okay." Ca picked up a te of fried egg and walked outside to the dining room.
''Terence stayed uptest night?
Was it because I scolded him so severely that he got upset?
No...that''s impossible. He was so thick-skinned that he would never be bothered by something like that,
'' Ca thought as she ate her breakfast.
Rainer was the one assigned to drive Sean to school. He smiled at Ca as he ushered little Sean to
the car. After sending him off, Ca went upstairs.
She took a pause at Terence''s door.
She intended to ignore him and go straight back to her room. Somehow, she found herself still standing
in front of his door.
She raised her hand to knock. Suddenly it urred to her that he might still be sleeping. She dropped
her hand and twisted the knob. She was a little surprised to find out that the door was unlocked.
''Right. You wouldn''t bother locking your bedroom door when you''re in your own house, '' Ca thought.
Ca tiptoed into the room. It wasrge enough for a whole family to live in. A beautiful screen
embroidered with andscape painting came into her sight.
After she got familiar with Terence, Ca found him especially fond of things with traditional elements.
He had absorbed the cultures of other countries, but he would always embed Chinese style into his art
decorations.
Ca went around the screen. She didn''t find him on the sofa so she took a few steps further and
found Terence sleeping soundly on the bed.
She immediately noticed the long, deep scratch on his neck. It was definitely hard to miss.
She overreactedst night and scratched him by ident. She didn''t realize the scar was that severe.
Ca''s words were worse than her bite. Last night, she lost her temper and couldn''t control herself. But
now, she hadposed herself. Seeing that scar and knowing that she inflicted it, her heart softened.
Terence had too many chances if he really wanted to strike her back. With bribes and threats, he could
have forced her to have sex with him. It would be impossible for her to escape.
But he didn''t. He never forced her to sleep with him.
Instead, he treated her with respect.
Men''s lust for women was sometimes uncontroble. Ca understood that. With someone that he
liked in front of his eyes, he could do nothing but hold back his sensual urges. He told her countless
times about how hard it was for him. That must not have been that easy.
Leaning on the door, Ca watched the man''s sleeping figure on the bed in silence. After a while, she
turned to leave.
Her anger began to subside. Or at least, it wasn''t as heavy as yesterday.
"Why are you leaving?" Terence''s voice caught her off guard.
The truth was that Terence had been aware of her presence since she came in. Although he stayed up
Knowing it was Ca, he rxed and squinted his eyes.
Thanks to the ident in BH City six months ago, he was no longer careless and reckless.
Ca stopped and turned around. The man was still lying on his bed with his eyes still closed. "Well, I
was just passing by. I was wondering why you didn''te down to have breakfast," Ca tried to make
excuses.
Terence opened his narrow eyelids and looked at Ca. He gestured for her toe closer to him.
"...... Come and give me a hug," Terence pleaded with his low, husky voice.
Ca remained at the door. Eyes twinkling, she responded with a sly grin,"I''m a disobedient girl. Don''t
you know that?"
Moreover, considering what he had done behind her back, she would never obey his wishes.
He should be grateful that she came to check on him.
Hearing these words, Terence defeatedly retracted down his hands and rolled over to the other side of
the bed. "Okay, never mind," Terence mumbledzily. "I was considering taking you out for a hike. But
since you''re a disobedient girl, I don''t think you''ll go with me.
Such a pity that you''ll miss the beautifulndscape! The verdant mountains, exquisite rocks, natural
caves—there''re eighteen of them! Let alone the scenery inside. What a feast for the eyes! Well, I
suppose you can''t go, right? What a shame!" Terence tempted her with his ns.
Hardly had his voice faded away when Terence heard a little pattering of feet behind his back.
Knowing she had fallen in his trap, he snickered.
Terence knew her quite well. She had a kind of wanderlust inside her. Having stayed at home for two
days, she must be terribly bored. She wouldn''t be able to resist the temptation to go out.
Unsurprisingly, she took the bait.
The moment Ca was near enough, he jumped up from the bed and wrapped her in his arms.
