Chapter 178 The Expired Juice (Part Two)


    he proceeded to drive the car away from the reeds and back onto the usual road again.


    It was just at that moment when Ca was finally able to let out a sigh of relief. Letting go of the


    handrail on the roof of his car, Ca spoke, "Mr. Noah..."


    "Why are you calling me Mr. Noah? Stop it with the formalities. Please just go ahead and call me by my


    name, Noah," Noah abruptly interrupted her.


    "Well, Noah, If I''mpletely being honest, you almost scared half the life out of me with what you did


    just now," Ca admitted, resting her hand on her chest, trying to calm herself down.


    "Would you mind telling me what made you fall for Terence?" Noah pried.


    That was one question she wasn''t expecting him to ask. She was simply staring nkly into space, at


    such a loss for words after hearing what Noah had just said.


    "Is it because he is the heir to one of the wealthiest families of JA City? Or could it possibly because of


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    the way he looks? Tell me, what kind of magic did he use to thaw your heart?" Noah continued prying


    even further.


    At that point, Ca simply shook her head.


    "Definitely not. The first time we met, he was still a nobody, helplessly running around the street. Back


    then, he had nothing to his name and I didn''t have a clue whatsoever that he was actually from a


    wealthy family. I''m aware that you''re still trying to do something about it, but it''s Terence who wishes to


    call off the engagement. It''s out of my hands,"


    Ca eximed, taking in a deep breath.


    Noah gave her a quick nce but didn''t say a word. The road they were taking was now heading


    toward the direction of Ca''s house.


    He seemed to have taken the route that would directly lead to her home. And soon enough, they


    arrived at her ce and he parked the car by her driveway.


    Disregarding Ca''s refusal of his offer, Noah grabbed her bag from the backseat and carried it


    upstairs for her.


    The moment they got to her doorway, Ca thought that it would be wrong for her not to at least invite


    him in. At the end of the day, in spite of everything that had happened, he not only gave her a lift, but


    he also helped her bring the bag upstairs. So, as not to be rude, and against her best judgment, she


    had no other choice but to let him in.


    The second he stepped foot inside Ca''s house, Noah''s eyes roamed around her tidy room and then


    finally, they were suddenly fixated on Ca, who still seemed to be feeling uneasy.


    "Noah, is there anything you would like to drink?"


    Ca asked, forcing out a smile.


    "Anything''s okay. I''ll leave it up to you." Upon taking a seat on the sofa, Noah continued looking around


    and checking the decor and furnishings of the house. At a single nce, he could easily tell that the


    room had been furnished by Terence.


    Aware of the fact that Terence truly had a good taste when it came to these things, Noah was sure he


    had a hand in choosing what went where.


    Ca immediately opened the refrigerator to check what she had stored there and found some tea and


    juice. Thinking that having tea thiste at night would be a bad idea, she opted to just serve him a ss


    of juice.


    "Ca, do you have any ns for thising Sunday?" Noah queried, taking the ss of juice from


    her hand.


    Ca picked up her phone to check the date. It was currently Thursday evening. Her schedule was free


    the whole day on Sunday.


    "Well, what''s up? Is there something you have in mind?"


    Noah replied, "Actually, I have a clienting over on Sunday and I had been nning to show him


    around the city. But as you might already know, I''m still not that familiar with BH City yet. Besides, it''s


    my first trip here. So, I''d been wondering... I was hoping that maybe you would be so kind as to lend


    me a hand on this one? There''s no need for you to worry though. You''re going to bepensated well


    foring along.


    Ca was a bit uncertain whether she should ept his request or not. And just as she was about to


    way to say no to me again, aren''t you?"


    Ca waved her hand at him instantaneously, wearing an obvious look of bitterness on her face. "No,


    no, no. It''s not like that. Please don''t get me wrong. Before anything else, I owe you for saving my life


    once. If I could lend some form of assistance, of course, I would dly do it for you."


    "Really? So, that means you''re going toe help me out on Sunday, right?" Noah presumed,


    beaming her a smile and feeling quite ted. The phrasing he used prevented her from saying


    anything to try to refuse him.


    "Well, I have a ssmate from way back in high school who works as a tour guide in this city. If you


    want, I can introduce her to you so that you can have a professionale along."


    "Ca,"


    Ca took out her cell phone with the intention of searching for her former ssmate''s phone number.


    Without warning, Noah stood up, walked over closer toward her


    and seized hold of the cell phone she was holding.


    "I''m not just some bad guy scheming something and I don''t mean you any harm. Why do you still keep


    on doubting me? Because you seem to be so scared out of your wits, I feel the need to prove that I''m


    not the person you''re making me out to be. That''s why... I promise in the name of the Hua family, I


    won''t do anything to hurt you. Please give me a chance just this once, okay? The way you''re acting is


    really driving me crazy."


    That being said, Noah then ced her cell phone on the coffee table next to him. "Let''s just set an


    appointment for now. I''ll drop by toe pick you up here at eight in the morning thising Sunday.


    Thanks for the juice. Although, I think it''s already somewhat past its expiration date."


    Uponmenting that, Noah took just one good hard look at Ca before turning around walking


    toward the door to leave.
