Chapter 378 I Will Stay Here Tonight (Part Two)
She instantly understood what she meant and hastily eximed, "There''s someoneing in, so I
have to hang up now."
"Alright, I guess I''ll just see you tomorrow then."
After hanging up on him, Ca realized that Helen had already swung the door to her office open and
walked in. She felt a sense of relief after finding out that it was just her subordinate, who came in to
deliver some documents to her.
Later in the afternoon, it was time to get off work.
Ca returned to her vi located in the suburb in the south.
These past few days, Noah had a handful of banquets to attend. So, by the time he got back home,
Ca would already be fast asleep. For that reason, they weren''t able to have much time to talk to
each other. Ca felt so relieved that she wouldn''t have to talk to Noah.
Given that she wouldn''t have to face Noah at home, she was able to feel more at ease not having to
worry about anyone.
It was a rather peaceful night for Ca.
It was still a bit early at around nine o''clock in the evening, but she had already taken a shower and
changed into afortable pair of pajamas. Leisurely lounging on the sofa, she could finally take some
time to rx after a long day at work.
She had in front of her a bunch of sweet and sour oranges which she ate while tuning into the soap
opera running on the television. It had an interesting plot and it was rather moving, so she got
captivated by it.
As she was so absorbed in the show''s storyline, she heard someone knocking at her door. Thinking
that it might just be either N or Vicky, she blurted out without even bothering to check, "Pleasee
in. The door isn''t locked."
The door promptly swung open.
As it turned out, it was actually Noah who was at the door. He saw that Ca was lying on the sofa
when he walked in, totally engrossed in watching a TV drama. With a smile on his face, he moved
closer toward the back of the sofa and wrapped his arms around her before whispering in a gentle
voice, "What are you watching there, Callie?"
Upon recognizing the familiar voice, Ca was caughtpletely off-guard that she began to cough
violently. It was such a dreadful look she had, showing extreme anxiety. Be that as it may, after a while,
she regained herposure and managed to put on a smile on her face to hide how nervous she was
and told him, "I''m watching a soap opera. Why did you get here so early, Noah?"
"Well, recently, whenever I''de back home, you''d already be in deep slumber, so I felt so bad that I
haven''t been able to spend time with you. And as you can see, today, I made sure to take care of
everything so I cane home earlier just to see you." As he exined it to Ca, he walked over
toward the sofa and took a seat right beside her, stretching out his arm and resting his hand over her
shoulder.
For the past couple of days, he had himself preupied with the merger and could only afford to have
lunch and dinner with her. Meaning to say, she simply spent her time mostly staying at home by herself.
At the thought of that, he felt somewhat guilty.
"You don''t need to worry about that. I know how busy you''ve been with all the things that have to be
taken care of in thepany." Ca''s lips were shivering as she told him that. Every single time Noah
would so much as graze her skin, she would be frigid, not knowing what she should do.
Giving her an affectionate look, Noah kept thinking how thoughtful his fiancee was. His brown eyes
were glistening brightly and yet there was a helpless smile on his face when he told her, "You know
what, Callie? Today, when I was having a meal with some of my friends, all of their wives called to
check up on them and find out whom they were with. When I saw that, I couldn''t help myself from
feeling a bit envious of them.
Even though they keptining about how much of a bother it was, I was kind of hoping that you''d
do that to me as well and check what I was doing at that time. I''m a bit jealous of how their wives
seemed to care so much about them,"
Noah remarked as his hand instinctively made its way into Ca''s belly. Heaving a heavy sigh, he
added, "But I already know that you won''t ever call me like that or ask me what time I''ll being
home."
Ca felt a bit sick to her stomach after hearing such intimate words, so she retorted to cut him off, "It''s
already gettingte and you have to get ready for bed, Noah."
"It''s just nine o''clock. I think it''s still quite early." ncing at the clock, he wrapped his arms around her
even tighter and told her, "Ca, just let me stay here for the night, alright?"
Silence filled the air in the room after Noah suggested that.
Ca''s body became even stiffer than it was moments ago.
"No need to worry. I won''t do anything to you. In any case, you''re expecting now. How could I even do
anything to hurt you?" Noticing from the look on her face how anxious she was, he whispered in her
ear in a low but still gentle voice, "What''s bothering you, Ca? Sometimes I still have doubts whether
it was really you that night or not. Because if it was, then why is it that you''re still on edge whenever
you''re around me?"
He pondered deep inside his heart, ''If we really made love to each other that night, something
should''ve changed already, and our rtionship should have improved and be much more
intimate.
But why can''t I see any sort of change in her at all? Not even just a little.''
"I think you''re overthinking things, Noah. I''ve gotten used to sleeping alone, so I''m just afraid that I
won''t be able to fall asleep having someone sleeping right next to me." Biting on her lower lip, she
stretched out her arm and held him by his waist. Trying to look as calm as possible, she gazed up on
him and faked a smile before saying, "On top of that, when I''m sleeping soundly, I tend to sprawl all
over the bed. So, I just don''t want you to experience being kicked out of bed by me."
She was left with no choice but toe up with some sort of excuse to say no to Noah, knowing that
there was a baby inside her.
If they were to have a squabble right now, it would end up being bad for both her and the baby.
"You don''t have to worry about that. Now, I''ve gotten even more curious after hearing you say that. I''ve
already seen you sleeping once before when you were in the hospital. But back then, one of your legs
was hung high up. Having said that, I really haven''t seen you while you''re sleeping yet."
Noah stared at her so endearingly. All of a sudden, he leaned closer to ce a kiss on her forehead
and resolutely stated, "Alright. We have a deal now. You wait right here me. I''m heading back to my
room so I could wash up. I''ll be right back to spend some time with you."
Ca didn''t bother humoring him with a response, so he immediately got up and got ready to leave the
moment he was done talking.
As she watched him walk toward his room to take a shower, Ca''s face turned into a frown, having a
hard time wrapping her head around the fact that he was going to spend the night with her.
When he was finally out of sight, she heaved a lengthy sigh and lost interest in watching the TV drama.

Springing up from the sofa, she paced around the room feeling so apprehensive.
With her heart about to burst in any second, she was now panicking deep inside and thinking, ''What
the heck am I supposed to do in this situation?
What should I do? Why did he suddenly get the urge to sleep with me? Oh, my God!''
She had experienced being with Terence before, so she was well aware that men''s words could never
be epted and trusted at face value. Once they got onto the bed, the thing that would be running
through their little minds would never be about sleeping and instead, their hands would begin creeping
all over the women''s body.
She may have already been pregnant at the moment, but she could never be too sure that Noah
wouldn''t do anything to her. And most of all, she couldn''t risk moving around too much to try and stop
him due to the fear of getting the child in her belly hurt.
