Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 370 Marry Me

"Okay. If you don't want to talk about it, let's change the topic," said Julie. She could easily guess by

Noah's depressed look that he and Carla weren't getting along.

Honestly, she already had the hunch since Terence came to find her that day.

Terence finding her to substitute Carla on making love with Noah was more than enough proof that

Carla and Terence's relationship were still solid.

She was successful in substituting Carla that night, which meant that Noah couldn't tell the difference

between her and Carla.

And at the same time, it also meant that Noah and Carla never did anything intimate amid their

engagement.

"How are you, Julie? We haven't seen each other for half a year,"

Noah asked after sipping wine from his glass.

Hearing his question, Julie forced a wry smile and answered, "Noah, do you think the fish will live a

happy life without water?"

Noah looked at Julie. He hadn't seen this woman beside him for a long time. She still looked the same

in general but her eyes looked exhausted now.

Realizing that Noah didn't answer, Julie immediately apologized, "Sorry, Noah, I shouldn't have said

that. Don't you want to drink? If you don't mind, can I accompany you?"

Then she raised her glass as if proposing a toast and drank a large sip of wine. "I really hope that you

live a happy life, Noah. Even if we are not a couple anymore, I really hope for you to be better without

me...

Being loved is much happier than loving someone. But of course, you never know that!"

Julie felt a bit bolder after drinking. She would never dare to tell things like this to Noah before.

Nonetheless, a lot of things had already changed between them. She wasn't Noah's girlfriend anymore,

so she wasn't afraid of being abandoned again.

Little did she know that Noah understood what she said clearly.

He even agreed to her thoughts. It was true, being loved was so much better than loving someone.

In all honesty, he didn't even try loving anyone before meeting Carla. He just learned how to love

someone sincerely after he and Carla got engaged.

"I'm sorry, Julie." Noah took a sip of wine then looked at the woman next to him.

This woman had been around him for nearly four years. However, he had let her down until he lost her.

Hearing his apology for the first time, Julie wasn't able to stop her tears. He had never said sorry to her

even after they broke up. She had never expected to hear him say this.

"I don't need your apology. I just want you to be happy, Noah." Chewing on her lower lip, Julie tried to

control her sobs. She forced a mild smile and looked at him. "I love you just as much as you love Carla.

And such a kind of love is already hard to change.

I never wanted to give up on you when we broke up. But you don't want me to love you anymore. I was

deprived of that right. Do you have a clue of how painful it was at that time?"

Noah avoided Julie's gaze and never looked at her again. He lifted his glass instead and bottomed-up

his wine. His heart was about to explode with bitterness as he thought, 'Is this my karma?

Is God punishing me for what I've done to Julie?'

It took Julie a little while to calm down. She then wiped her eyes and apologetically said, "I'm really

sorry for bring up the past. I shouldn't be talking about this anymore.

Let's have a toast for old times' sake!"

Julie drank all her wine, wiped her mouth, and said, "It's a bit late now, Noah. Did you drive here alone?

Do you need me to call a driver for you?"

As soon as Julie finished talking, Noah held the back of her hand and looked at her. "Let's go to

another place. Talk with me a little more, okay?"

A bit surprised, Julie paused for some seconds before replying, "Okay." They both ended up in Julie's

house.

Noah couldn't count how many times he'd been in this same house before. The only thing he could

remember was coming here when he felt lonely and needed a warm body to satisfy his manly needs.

It had been like that for four long years.

Although he had other women while Julie was around, he never looked at this place any better than a

comfort area.

He just knew that he was comfortable here so he came frequently.

He was never loyal to her and there were only two possible reasons for that. One was because he was

not married or maybe, he just plainly didn't love Julie back then.

After a couple of seconds, Noah thought that the reason was probably the latter.

Since his engagement to Carla, he refused all women, controlled his own desire and only concentrated

on her.

However, it was ridiculous how ironic things turned out for him.

"Noah, sit down first. I'll prepare you a cup of tea..."

Julie was a bit nervous when she walked to the kitchen. She poured a cup of Pu'er tea he liked and

brought it to him.

She had been wanting to meet him again for the past half-year, and now that it was finally happening,

she couldn't stop her hands from shaking a bit.

On the other hand, Noah had drunk a lot of wine and was just slightly lying on the sofa.

He was looking around the house and was a bit surprised by how nothing had changed with it.

Everything was still the same, even the tiniest decorations weren't replaced. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

That was when Julie sat beside him with a towel in her hand. She tried to give him the towel but he

seemed too drunk to take it.

Thus, she wiped his forehead and cheeks instead to make him comfortable.

Noah felt what she was doing although his eyes slightly closed. He turned to her and felt the tender

way she was staring at him. Half a year had passed and she still looked at him the same way.

That was when Noah wasn't able to suppress his need anymore. He reached out and claimed her into

his arms.

Julie just let herself lean gently on his shoulder. She couldn't resist the excitement filling her. Then after

just a breath, she was crying again. It had been six months since he last embraced her.

Although they had made love once just last month, he didn't know that it was her because she was just

a substitute.

It felt a lot different when Noah was aware of who he was really holding.

Putting the towel down, Julie embraced him back.

However, Noah was struggling at that time. He had been suppressing his need for a month and he was

under the influence of wine too. His body was moving by pure instinct when he embraced her waist and

pressed her on the sofa...

The sun was shining brightly the next day.

Noah woke up and found himself sleeping in a strange but very familiar place.

He pulled the quilt to check himself under it. Soon, he frowned.

"Noah, are you awake? Get up and have breakfast. It's ready."

Julie's voice was gentle when she opened the door.

However, what she saw next was Noah rushing to put his clothes back on. He then took his coat and

passed her by as if he didn't see her.

"Noah... Noah?"

Julie tried to call him twice but he never looked back at her anymore. He left her... again.

On the other hand, Carla had just come out of the Hua family's house.

Andrea arranged for a driver to take her to the company. She just got into the car when she saw Noah's

car coming.

Then, Noah's car stopped right in front of her.

"Come down. I'll take you to the company," Noah said expressionlessly.

Carla got out of the car and transferred to Noah's car.

They were both dead silent as they drove to the company.

Suddenly, Noah posed, "Carla, marry me!"

Carla was shocked and thought, 'I have said clearly to him yesterday. Why does he suddenly want me

to marry him? So strange!'

"I know you can't forget Terence, but that doesn't matter. In this world, not every couple marries

because they love each other. Time will make you slowly forget many things!

Let's not talk about the past anymore. You don't even need to be guilty because you don't love me. It's

my choice to be kind to you and I'm not asking you to be grateful for it.

Let's just get married and start a new life, Carla!"

Noah said in a very serious tone before he parked the car by the roadside.
