Chapter 279 Terence Is One Of A Kind
Noah didn''t expect that they would run into Phyllis there today. He should have checked the restaurant
in advance to avoid the awkwardness.
"What?" Ca replied. However, at that moment she somehow felt a bit disappointed. She was
expecting a sweet and pleasant dinner with Noah.
However, Noah was making her ufortable and it was kind of ruining the moment.
She didn''t really know what was bothering her. She had some questions that needed answers.
"Noah, do all men have sex just for pleasure and not for love?"
When their dishes were served, Ca asked him before taking a mouthful of broli using her fork.
However, right before Noah could even answer her, Ca added hastily, "Please don''t get me wrong,
Noah. I didn''t mean to judge you. I just didn''t really understand what guys are usually thinking when
they do things like that with women."
Noah paused for a while. He knew that even though Ca looked calm, she was actually a little mad at
him because of the things between Phyllis and him.
He took a deep breath.
Then he asked her directly, "Ca, are you disappointed in me? Are you mad at me?"
Ca took a bite of her steak. It tasted good and it was better than any steak she ever had. Then she
replied with a smile, "No, Noah. I''m not your girlfriend.
If I were your girlfriend and you just had sex with another woman, I would have the right to be mad at
you."
After speaking, she took a deep breath as if she was making some important decision to announce
then she said, "Noah, I''m so sorry for bothering you these days."
Ca looked down and her eyes were full of guilt. All the days that she had been with him yed
before her eyes. She realized that she was too dependent on his kindness and she was bothering him
all the time. All the things that he had done for her was way beyond a friend''s responsibility.
When he heard what she said, Noah momentarily paused. He frowned slightly while looking at her
guilty face.
"I am really sorry but I am also very thankful. Noah, I know that I was kind of needy these days. Please
just consider me as a patient that needed some care. I really do appreciate your kindness."
"Ca, what do you mean exactly?" Noah asked her while he was cing his knife and fork down on
the table.
At that exact moment, Phyllis walked through a corridor and stopped at the end.
Terence and Rainer were there and they were waiting for her.
"Sir, I''ve already done my job. Can you please pay me now?" Phyllis asked while ogling at Terence who
was standing by the window.
Terence called Rainer in a low voice and signaled him to pay her.
"Rainer."
Rainer immediately produced an envelope containing some cash and then passed it to Phyllis.
Phyllis nced at the envelope and she was pretty content with the thickness of it. She knew that
Terence was a rich man. She shed him a seductive smile. "Sir, do you have any ns for tonight?"
she said while walking closer to him. However, right before she could even touch him, Terence stepped
back instantly to avoid her. He was annoyed by her rudeness. "You should just leave. Remember to
keep this to yourself. Don''t let anybody know about what happened tonight," Terence warned her
coldly.
Seeing that he was acting so distant, Phyllis knew that she shouldn''t pester him anymore. She just

nodded and left quietly.
Once alone, Terence nced at the direction where Ca and Noah were. A little whileter, he gazed
at the night scene of the mountain, lost in thought.
''The best way to beat a rival in love is not to constantly tter the woman you love but to let her see
that the other man is not the right one for her.''
Not all men were loyal and steadfast like Terence. He was one of a kind.
After being with Ca for so long, Terence was sure that he knew her well. She wasn''t the kind of
woman that could easily ept a man who was promiscuous. Noah could neverpare to Terence.
At that moment, Noah sounded a little unhappy when he uttered the question. Ca''s hand
momentarily tightened on her fork. She was a little nervous. After slightly biting her lip, she said, "I''ve
forgotten so many things and nobody helped me to recall anything. Sometimes I couldn''t even tell who
I can and cannot trust.
But when I met you, I somehow got the feeling that I could trust you. I''m so happy that I finally found
someone who I could be dependent on. I really like you, Noah. Sometimes I thought that maybe you
liked me too. But now I finally know that I was wrong.
I kind of felt that it was wrong for me to insist on something that I always believed to be true."
She kept going and Noah''s brown eyes narrowed slightly. He looked stern and cold. It was quite
different from what she had been ustomed to see. She somehow felt a little scared of him.
"Are you disappointed at me just because I had sex with Phyllis? Is that what got you into all these?"
he questioned her.
Ca didn''t answer. He sounded pretty angry.
"Ca. Do you know what a guy would do when he really likes a woman? He would take things slow.
He wouldn''t want to be intimate with her too quickly because he would be afraid to do something that
would make her dislike him. He would usually choose a woman that he doesn''t really care for just for
sex. However, he would just stay quietly beside the one that he truly loves."
Noah paused to sip his red wine then he continued, "Okay. I''ll stop here. I don''t want to ruin this
moment. Let''s just enjoy the food."
Ca just nced at him then picked up her fork to cut her steak.
She wasn''t good at it. She was quite unskillful.
While struggling with the steak, Ca vaguely recalled that there was a man who would always do this
for her before. That was why she was feeling so awkward now. However, she couldn''t really remember
who the man was.
Then right at that moment, Noah suddenly exchanged his te with hers and said, "Please have this
one." He already had the steak cut for her.
Ca nced at him again and replied, "Thank you."
She then thought to herself, ''Was it him? Is Noah the man who used to do this for me in the past?''
When the fish that they ordered was served, Noah enjoyed it for a while. Then he looked up to see that
Ca was working with the fish bone on her te. It seemed as if she was having a hard time.
Noah then quickly picked a fish bone out of a piece of fish and ced it on her te. "Try this one. I
already removed the bones."
Ca was a little surprised by his kindness. Her mouth parted and she was about to say ''Thank you'',
but Noah stopped her. "Oh, Ca. You don''t have to say ''Thank you'' every time. It''s always
my pleasure to do this for you. After all, I was the reason why you have to go through this. It is my
responsibility to take good care of you." Ca gave him a smile and kept silent.
Several minutes passed.
Ca felt the need to go to the washroom so she grabbed her crutch and stood up. Even though she
got exclusive nurses in the hospital to take care of her, she was used to going to bathroom by herself
only with the help of the crutch. She didn''t want to bother anyone.
"Oh, Ca. Let me help you," Noah said and stood up. Ca declined his offer and said, "Oh, it''s okay.
I can do it by myself. The washroom is not far from here so you don''t have to worry about me, Noah."
Noah nodded at her. He saw that she could move around the inpatient ward by herself these days.
That is why he didn''t insist on helping her again.
Ca then went to the washroom with her crutch.
However, Ca got a weird feeling that there was someone who was watching her from behind all the
way.
But when she looked back, she saw nobody.
It took Ca a lot of effort to make it to the washroom. She stopped at one of the stalls and put aside
her crutch so she could unbutton her pants.
However, someone suddenly hugged her and lifted her up. She was startled and before she could even
shout for help, her mouth was kissed by a man.
Ca could do nothing but widen her eyes in shock. She stared at the man who was kissing her.
He held her tightly in his arms. But his kiss... His kiss was so gentle that she almost melted.
