Chapter 175 Did You Miss Me
Terence''s eyes grew wide and knocked over the camera with his pen. "Don''t just show up like that. I
know you are skilful enough to hack into myputer. You can scare people at night!"
Bryant scratched his head while he chuckled.
"I thought it was youst time! I mean, you don''t usually allow anyone into your study. I didn''t expect it
to be Miss Ca..."
Bryant hastily exined his mistake from thest time.
"Fine. Go. What do you have for me this time?" Terence asked. He leaned against his chair and fiddled
with the pen he picked up from his table.
"Look, here''s the problem. When I started to investigate into Miss Ca, I found that Noah had already
started an investigation before me. And York, the second son of the Hua family, also seemed to know
something."
Bryant continued, "Allen''s health is getting worse by the minute. That''s also why he has deployed more
people to find Miss Ca. His sons are eager to find her right now. That is also why I need to remind
you to take good care of your woman!"
Terence froze at what Bryant just shared with him. It took him a few seconds before he fidgeted with
the pen in his hand and replied, "Okay, yeah, got it."
The more his sons tried to covered the truth, the sooner Allen would know of Ca''s existence.
It looked like Ca''s family secret would be revealed and exposed soon.
In the BH City, after Ca arrived home from work, she remembered that Terence once ced
cameras in different areas of her house.
She rolled up her sleeves and searched for the cameras in every nook and cranny in her house.
She needed to dismantle all of them.
But she couldn''t find a single camera. Where were they? Where could Terence have installed them?
But then, she recalled someone changed the bulbs for her.
Ca went back to her bedroom. She stood on a chair to remove the bulb from the ceiling light. As
expected, there was a pinhole camera inside it.
She checked the lights again one by one and found all the cameras. Ca exhaled a sigh of relief when
she found thest one. Finally, some privacy!
At the Seaview Vi in JA City, Terence returned to his bedroom and turned on the CCTV system on
his tablet like he always did. But this time, all he could see was static. He checked the camera in
Ca''s living room and it was the same static.
He set his tablet on the desk, and his brows furrowed.
The cameras worked perfectly fine the past week. What had happened? Did Ca find them and
dismantle all of them? What happened?
Deep in thought, he jumped when his phone rang.
He checked his phone and saw Ca''s name on the screen, requesting for a video call.
Terence hesitated but epted the call anyway.
There was no one on the screen. "Hello?" he called out but no one appeared. "Ca?" he called for
her. He was about to say something again when a ck mask appeared.
"Did I scare you?"
the masked person asked with a chuckle. The masked person sounded exactly like Ca.
Terence stared at the screen, at Ca''s facial mask and smirked. His men reported that she worked
overtime almost every day.
He was right, all along.
He knew she left so suddenly because herpany came calling and needed her help. She never
really learned how to say no to other people.
"What? You weren''t scared? You''re no fun!" Ca peeled off her mask and used her fingers to let her
skin absorb the serum. She looked straight at Terence on the screen.
"Why are you quiet, Terence? Are you still mad at me? I- I know I should have told you before I left. But
I was afraid that you wouldn''t allow me to leave. But don''t worry, okay? I''ve already decided that when I
finish my work, I''m going to resign. It won''t be long now!"
Ca quickly exined to Terence when she saw his scowl.
Terence frowned when he saw her thinning face. Ca seemed to have lost more weight since she left,
even though he made sure she was eating a lot when they were together.
"Are you eating? Are you eating on time every day?" Terence asked sullenly.
Ca smiled and her eyes lit up when Terence spoke up. She was so happy he was finally talking to
her again. She moved closer to the phone and replied, "Of course! I always eat all my meals on time
every day."
Terence grunted.
''Eating on time. Yeah, right. Breakfast at street carts. Takeaway for lunch. And junk food for dinner!'' he
screamed in his mind.
Her life was pretty predictable and he knew every minute of it.
How could he put on a smile in front of her, knowing that she lived such an unhealthy life without him?
"Why are you looking at me like that? I''m not lying! Hey, where''s Sean? Is he sleeping now?" Terence''s
stare was making her uneasy, so Ca changed the topic. Besides, he looked at her like he knew

everything about her.
"Yes. He''s already asleep," Terence replied.
"Does he miss me?" Ca continued to ask.
"No, he doesn''t," Terence replied curtly.
"What? How can he not miss me? You''re lying to me," Ca eximed in disbelief. Sean had been
living with her since he had been born. How could he not miss her while she was away?
"If you don''t believe me,e back and see for yourself,"
Terence responded.
Ca stood up and told Terence, "I have to wash my face now. You can hang up if you''re busy." She
turned on her heels and marched to the bathroom.
When she turned around, Terence''s face changed and he couldn''t help but stare at Ca.
She liked to wear clothes that were airy and moved with her when she was at home. Tonight, she was
only wearing a short slip dress. When she moved, he saw her supple thighs on screen. The sight of her
reminded him of their wonderful times in bed. His breath grew heavier.
He had repressed his desire after she left. But it all came rushing back at that moment. He felt a fire lit
in his body and heat swallowed him.
When Ca came back, Terence was already gone.
She brushed her hair when she took the phone. She had wanted to tell him that he could see her at
any time.
And he didn''t need to watch her through pinhole cameras. If he wanted to see her, all he had to do was
picking up the phone and starting a video call with her. He didn''t need to do anything like that behind
her back.
Ca yawned and dragged herself to her bedroom so she could sleep.
It was alreadyte and she needed to get up early to attend to pile of work in the morning.
At a little before 5 in the morning, small noises jolted Ca up and away from her beautiful dream. She
heard someone sneak into her home.
She lived alone so she had already trained herself to stay alert to any little noise.
Ca kept her eyes closed but she knew someone was already there and they wereing closer.
She slid her hand under her pillow and grasped the wooden stick underneath.
The stick was heavy and long and made a very useful weapon to drive away any thief. That was the
main reason she bought it.
She hurled the stick at the intruder with a scream but a familiar hand grasped it tight. She looked up
and discovered Terence in her bedroom. Terence took the stick away from Ca and shouted, "Ca,
stop! It''s me! And why do you have a stick under your bed?"
Ca exhaled the breath she held when she swung the stick. She was relieved to hear Terence''s voice
and not have to confront a thief.
"Terence, are you crazy? Why are you sneaking inside? Were you trying to scare me?" Ca yelled
and threw a pillow at him.
She always needed to be prepared, in case of another kidnapping.
She was alone in a big house and she didn''t feel safe staying there by herself. How could she fall
asleep without being prepared?
Terence ced the stick on the table, safe from everyone. When he turned around to face Ca, she
had already gotten up and threw herself into his arms.
He smiled at her beautiful face and embraced her tightly.
"Did you miss me?" he asked Ca.
