Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 373 Is The Baby Mine

Nola seemed to have behaved too calmly.

She knew that Carla was pregnant but she wasn't surprised at all.

***

After supper, Carla was leisurely sitting on the couch, watching some soap operas while eating nuts.

She really needed to use her break to relax since she had been very busy recently. There were even

times when she almost couldn't breathe while at work.

Moreover, the baby in her womb caught her off guard.

But she didn't have any other choice anymore since it was already there.

She couldn't believe how the fortune teller was right about her. Carla had thought that he was just

talking nonsense.

When she went to visit Nicholas in the hospital earlier, she told him that in the hope of cheering him up.

But then she had never expected it to happen in reality.

The due date would be in June or July next year, just as the fortune teller expected. NôvelDrama.Org content.

"Welcome home, Mr. Noah," someone greeted.

Carla's back immediately straightened upon hearing the noise outside. She didn't expect Noah to come

back this soon since he was supposed to be out for several days.

She hadn't seen him at all since their quarrel. Thus, she was at peace for several days.

A few seconds later, Noah came in while holding bags of packaged dishes. Seeing Carla watching TV,

he asked, "Are you hungry? I bought this on my way home for you."

Then, Noah walked over to her and placed the food on the table. He knew that Carla was a foodie.

Thus, he remembered to buy something for her to eat.

The delicious smell of food instantly came into Carla's nose the moment Noah opened the food box.

There were crab seed meatballs, shrimps, and so on.

Then unexpectedly, Carla felt her stomach turning upside-down. She covered her mouth and rushed to

the bathroom.

She vomited everything she had eaten as soon as she reached the washbasin.

"What's up?"

That was when Noah came over and patted her back. "Are you having stomach aches? You must have

skipped meals these days because of work."

Carla rinsed her mouth after throwing up everything she ate for dinner. She then wiped the water stains

left on her lips and waved at Noah. She was silent when she left the bathroom.

However, Noah came to her and met her halfway towards the living room and held out a glass of water

for her.

Carla was suddenly hungry again after vomiting. She sniffed the food Noah brought home and thought

that it wasn't bad. Although she didn't have much appetite, she still couldn't resist picking up her

chopsticks as soon as she was back to the sofa.

Noah just stared at her, lost in his thought.

Then after a while, he asked, "Callie, are you...pregnant?" Upon hearing his words, Carla, who was

eating, spat the food accidentally on Noah's face.

Noah silently took a tissue and wiped his face.

"How long have you been pregnant?" he directly asked while looking at her seriously.

Carla took a deep breath to calm herself then took a big gulp from the glass Noah handed her earlier.

She was doing her best not to vomit again.

She was surprised that Noah saw it through.

What should she say to him?

It was all Terence's fault.

She panicked and racked her brain to think of a reply. "No, I'm not pregnant, Noah. I'm just having an

upset stomach."

Then she faked an embarrassed chuckle.

"Don't lie to me. An upset stomach shouldn't be like that. Be honest with me. Tell me how long have

you been pregnant?" Noah's face was sullen as he commanded her.

It seemed that she couldn't keep the secret anymore, so Carla lowered her head and said in a small

voice, "T-Two months."

'Oh my God! What should I do next?

What if Noah takes me to the hospital and demands the baby aborted? What will I tell Terence?

Terence must have already told Grandpa Nicholas the good news.

How will I face the An family if I lose the baby?' Carla thought to herself.

"What were you saying? Two months?"

Hesitation was all over Noah's face while he was staring at her. He initially thought that the baby was

Terence's the first time when he noticed Carla was pregnant.

However, given the time, it suddenly struck him that the baby could be his! His eyes immediately

widened with that thought. Then even before Carla could react, he already wrapped her shoulders in

his arms. "Callie, you need to tell me this. Is the baby conceived at the time we went to that

restaurant?"

Carla avoided his gaze and bowed her head. She nodded.

She was sure that the baby was conceived at that time.

She was busy with work the whole week before and afterward. Thus, she didn't see Terence for a

month. She was certain that the baby must have come from that one.

She was wondering how Noah could possibly know about that.

However, Noah cried out with excitement, "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?"

"What?" Carla looked up and found Noah smiling as if he won the lottery. She was so confused that

she didn't even know how to respond.

"The baby is mine, isn't it?" Noah asked with joy in his voice. He grabbed her shoulders excitedly and

continued, "If it was conceived at that time, it must be mine. Of course, it couldn't be wrong!"

Surprised at his words, Carla felt speechless.

She looked at him, not knowing what to say. How stupid she was! She forgot the fact that Noah thought

he had sex with her that night.

Therefore, he naturally thought the baby was his.

How could she not think of that?

"Callie, why didn't you tell me earlier such good news?" Noah was so excited that he held her up and

swirled her around.

Carla was more than confused now if she should tell him the truth or not.

Seeing Noah happy like this and thinking that the baby had just been saved from abortion, she decided

not to tell the truth for now.

"Put me down, Noah. I feel dizzy..." Carla called out.

She could feel her stomach turning again and she might not be able to hold it back anymore if he

continued.

Realizing that she was pregnant, Noah hurriedly put her down. He then grabbed her hands firmly and

said, "Callie, I promise you that I will never hurt you again from now on. I will do anything for you as

long as you stay with me. Anything!"

Noah's handsome dark eyes affectionately gazed at Carla. However, Carla could only force a smile.

"Noah, I..."

She wanted to tell him the truth but swallowed it at the tip of her tongue.

"I know that I disappointed you many times, but I won't anymore. Never ever. Please trust me!" Noah

said while rubbing her cheeks. "Callie, this baby proves that we're meant to be together. Don't you think

so?"

Biting her lower lip, Carla kept silent and just looked at him. She was getting really upset and felt as if

her heart was getting eaten by thousands of ants.

"Noah, the baby was an accident. It's hard for me to take it. Can I..."

she finally said it out and felt relaxed.

Upon hearing her, Noah thought about it and understood her difficulty. She had been loving Terence all

the time, but now she was pregnant with someone else's baby. It was hard for anyone to accept it.

"I understand. But don't worry too much and take care of the baby, okay?" said Noah as he pulled her

closer to him, embracing her tighter. He then patted her shoulder to comfort her.

He believed that her affection for Terence would gradually fade away because of the baby.

"Okay. Let me take you to your room. It's very late," he reminded before standing up and holding her

arm.

Carla rolled her eyes helplessly and sighed. Then she went upstairs with him.

She was wondering...

how Terence would feel if he knew that Noah thought the baby was his.
