Chapter 185 Be With You Forever (Part Two)
completely unaware of the fact that Carla had actually gone in before them.
She tried to haul Johnny back in, but he had already lost interest upon being interrupted. He pushed
her away and sorted himself out before heading out first.
In the hall, Terence saw her coming from a mile away.
"You're finally back!" he exclaimed as she walked closer.
Terence took a quick peep at her waist. Although the finish wasn't anything great, at the very least, it
wasn't easily noticeable anymore. He signaled to the waiter and then he promptly handed a bag over to
him.
Out of curiosity, Carla opened it and saw a fresh dress inside the bag. She naturally smiled and told
him, "I'll just change into it after we have lunch."
"You may do as you please," Terence replied. Then, he proceeded to serve a plate of his own
beefsteak for her, which he had already cut into bite-sized pieces. Terence didn't really care what she
wore. All that mattered was whether she felt comfortable wearing it.
Spending quite some time laboring on her dress, Carla was actually quite starving by the time she
returned to their table, so she gladly basked in the full flavor of the beefsteak.
As she was happily enjoying her lunchtime, she suddenly felt someone's eyes piercing right through
her. She abruptly looked up to check who it could possibly be, but there was no one standing there.
She tried looking around and found Johnny and his friend sitting at another table. What was strange
though, was that the woman she had seen together with him wasn't there with them.
"What is it that you're looking at?" Terence queried as he set the dessert right in front of her at the
table.
Carla pointed toward where Johnny was seated and remarked, "See that? The man lost to me last time
is also eating here at this restaurant."
Terence looked at the direction where she was pointing and noticed Johnny. Gleaming her a smile, he
said, "Carla, please lower down your voice a little. If Johnny could hear how you referred to him as,
he'd surely go crazy!" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Johnny was an exceedingly stuck-up and egotistical man.
Losing to any other man wouldn't have been such a big deal. He, however, had been defeated by a
woman. And an insult like that would be almost impossible to digest for someone like him.
"Who cares? I'm not scared of saying that straight into his face. I'm merely telling the truth!" Marveling
on the various layers of the tiramisu, Carla took a bite and reveled on its scrumptious taste.
All Terence could do was look at her lovingly. An idea suddenly came to him and he asked her, "Come
to think of it, where are you going to be staying in HA City? If you would let me, I can go set up an
accommodation for you."
Carla simply shook her head as a sign of refusal and answered, "There's no need for you to go to the
trouble of doing that. The company I work for has already arranged everything in advance."
Hearing her response, Terence instantly stopped eating and raised his head.
"No! You don't get to decide by yourself. This time, you have to do what I say," Terence complained,
furrowing his brows.
Most of the time, companies would only arrange affordable hotels for their employees to help them
save more money. There was no way in hell he could just let his precious girlfriend stay in some run-of-
the-mill hotel.
Carla just gave him a quick glance and didn't bother arguing with him anymore.
In her heart, she knew there was just no way of changing this stubborn man's mind.
They were just about done eating lunch. All of a sudden, Carla remembered something and frenziedly
began digging through her handbag. Eventually, she found what she had been looking for. She took out
a bracelet embellished with a wooden finish.
She had bought it the last time she went to JA City. Sadly, they had an argument thereafter, so she
couldn't find an appropriate time to give it to him. Truth be told, she actually almost forgot all about it.
"What's that?" Terence asked with a puzzled look. Putting down the knife and fork, he took the bracelet
she was holding. It seemed like a beautiful antique work of art. It was adorned with a fish along the
wooden finish. And although it seemed a little familiar, he couldn't quite put his finger on it. However, it
didn't take too long for him to realize that she had been wearing an identical one around her wrist.
"Here, let me help you!" Carla snatched it from his hand, wanting to personally put it on his wrist.
Smiling sweetly, she told him, "The seller told me that it had been constructed conforming to the style
which manufacturers traditionally used. In the old times, couples customarily wore them to show their
wonderful wish of spending eternity with each other."
Wiggling his wrist, he just couldn't help himself from staring at the bracelet. It had a classic look, which
suited a man just perfectly. That being said, he teased, "So, do you plan to tie me down so easily?"
Carla didn't humor him with a response, instead she just beamed him a smile and rested her arm on
top of his.
Grabbing his hand tightly, she touched a small gear piece on the fish's head. And right then and there,
the two fishes were suddenly securely locked together.
She had clear white skin and her arm was slim. On the other hand, he was tan and muscular. Together,
their arms seemed to have painted a harmonious picture.
Seeing the two fishes intertwined was more than enough to melt Terence's heart.
With their arms locked together, using her free hand, Carla grabbed her cell phone and took a picture
of their bracelets connected together. Then, she went ahead and set that picture as her cell phone's
wallpaper.
"Look! Isn't it beautiful?"
She appeared to be so delighted to show him her new wallpaper.
"Yes, it definitely is so beautiful!" Terence honestly thought so as well. He intended to take out his cell
phone to also take a picture of it himself. However, it slipped his mind that their bracelets were still
locked together firmly as he reached out his arm into his pocket.
A man's arm strength tended to be quite powerful.
Being caught by surprise, Carla was instantaneously dragged down by his unexpected movement.
