Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 96

Carla couldn't resist rolling her eyes. Despite being a kid Sean kept quiet in the queue and never complained, but Sherry couldn't stand it.

But she let it go anyway. She asked Sherry to come with them in the first place. Now Carla felt obliged to had to pay adequate courtesy to a princess wearing high heels to play in an amusement park.

Luckily, Noah gave her his phone number yesterday.

"Hello, Mr. Noah. This is Carla. We have arrived at the amusement park. Right now we are waiting in a queue at the entrance to get in." Carla didn't mention the intention of her call directly, but her words did render a hint.

Noah was a very smart person. Of course he figured out what she was trying to imply.

"Why didn't you call me earlier? You and your friends can wait for me at the VIP passageway. I will be there as soon as I can," said Noah via the phone.

After hanging up, Carla accompanied Sean and Princess Sherry to the VIP passageway.

Sherry took a long breath of relief after having got out of the endless line. She pulled her dress straightening it up and took out the face powder to fix her makeup which required some amelioration.

"Carla!"

Noah walked over in front of them. "Next time you come in here, call me in advance and you won't have to wait for so long under the sun."

As he said that, he handed over some drinks and gave them to Sean, Carla and Sherry.

"Thank you," said Carla as she accepted the icy drink. She pulled Sean over to her side and introduced, "Sean, this is Mr. Noah, a friend of Sherry and I. Our tickets for this time have been given by Mr. Noah."

Sean blinked instantly and smiled at Noah. "Thank you, Mr. Noah."

Noah chuckled as he praised him for being smart, and then said, "Sean, if you could see me as your big brother and just call me Noah, I'd be happier."

Sean turned a deaf ear to him and just twisted off the cap of the bottle and started to drink.

Of course he wouldn't call him Brother.

In his heart, he had only one brother. That was Terence. He was irreplaceable for him.

If any other person want to be treated as a big brother by him, they had to at least make sure if he was in a good mood.

"Mr. Noah, how are you? You have been ignoring me so far." Sherry's eyes had never left Noah since he appeared, but he hadn't said a word to her voluntarily so far.

Noah turned to her and gave out a gentle smile after hearing her words. He reached out his hand and said, "Hello, Miss Sherry. I apologize for my rudeness. You look gorgeous today! You won't be mad at me, will you?"

Sherry gave him a shy smile and shook his hand, and then said affectionately, "Okay, I won't be mad at you since you seem to be sincere with your apology."

After shaking Noah's hand gently, she held his arm and walked by his side throughout the footpath. Carla and Sean walked along by the side of the couple keeping a safe distance.

The team led by the big boss Noah walked around the amusement park unimpeded. Sean was so excited since he wouldn't miss any games that he wanted to play.

A tourist car had been called to ferry them around the park. The formality of having to wait standing in long queues had also been avoided. They had all their enthusiasm persistent in them for a long day of fun and frolic.

Sherry didn't play much. The reason was simple. Playing wildly might ruin her public image and she wasn't willing to do that. She couldn't afford to risk it.

But she realized that it would seem ridiculous if she didn't play at all. After all, people went to amusement park to play and have some fun.

So she suggested going to the ghost house. Even though she was afraid, she assumed it would be surely better than sitting on those wildly whirling machines throwing herself one way or the other.

"Wow! Great! I want to go to the ghost house too!"

Sean's eyes lit up instantly when he heard her mentioning the ghost house. He was faintly frightened but his excitement and curiosity had no limits. He was willing to risk it for once.

"Mr. Noah, if you are busy, you don't have to accompany us." Carla felt uncomfortable that Noah had to spend all this time with them.

It had already gotten a bit late.

And he had already treated them to lunch.

They had played throughout this while and now the orange sun in the sky indicating an incoming dusk.

"It's okay. I too have had some fun today. I haven't played this hard in a long time. Don't worry. Let's go together." Noah's smile was genial and warm. She couldn't feel any more gratitude and respect for him.

After they got into the ghost house, all that Sherry did was to scream at the top of her lungs and throw herself into Noah's arms in search of serenity.

In the darkness, Noah wasn't as warm and kind as he was outside. He gave an icy glance at Sherry who kept trying to rush to his arms and said, "Sherry, if you are so scared, why don't you go out through that exit and wait for us outside?"

"No, I don't want to go outside. Isn't this place meant to get us scared? It is supposed to be fun,"

Sherry replied, peering through the seam of her fingers with one of her eyes, but shrank and got back into Noah's arms again when she saw a woman ghost with bleeding eyes right over there.

Carla and Sean were left behind.

Sean had been shrieking, bouncing and laughing in inexplicable joy. Carla had to take care of her brother and hence, she was distracted. Even when she caught sight of a few scary scenes, she didn't scream either. She kept her calmness for the sake of her brother.

She was quite bold actually. Except in the case of a few dangerous animals, she always managed to adapt herself to all kinds of hostile situations.

The exit was not far ahead.

Carla felt much relieved. The ghost house was quite long. Moreover, it was pitch dark in there. She was a little scared as she walked.

"Sean, slow down..."

Sean probably figured out that the exit was coming up soon ahead as he got rid of Carla's grip and ran forward.

Carla failed to catch him and she suddenly tripped over something as she descended painfully to the floor. When she looked down, her heart skipped a beat or two. She was grief-stricken and terrified to see two ghostly eyes staring at her.

It was a very vivid human head.

The eye sockets were hollow and one piece of muscle from the still bleeding mouth was missing; the ghastly teeth were exposed and the scarlet tongue was hanging outside the teeth.

She was under the impression that the exit was near but suddenly something as horrible as this had to appear before her. She was caught off guard. She was already taken aback when her foot accidentally kicked that thing, and now she slipped and almost threw herself onto that thing! She almost saw that head budge an inch!

Within a fraction of a second, Noah suddenly threw away Sherry who was clinging on to him annoyingly and rushed to catch Carla by her waist before she hit the ground. He kicked the fake human head away simaltaneously getting rid of the horrid sight.

"Don't be afraid. It is fake. Made of silicon." Noah held her by her waist and helped her get back on her feet. His calm and soothing tone reassured her.

Carla was terrified to her bones. She grabbed Noah's hand instinctively and panted with her mouth gaping wide open.

Noah knew she was terrified and he patted her on her back softly in an attempt to console her and help her regain confidence in herself.

It was the first time he was so close to her and a light scent like that of an orchid flower reached his nose. Her hair accidentally brush by his chin and made him itchy. He remained silent for while.

Noah sensed the scent of a virgin. This was something Sherry lacked. Despite being intermingled with strong scent of perfume, he could tell the difference.

Besides, Carla never got used to being touched by men. She felt uneasy even with slightest physical contact with a man, which proved his assumption.

That could also act as an extended proof to the assumption that nothing had happened so far between her and Terence.

With all these thoughts running wildly in his mind, Noah curved his lips upward slightly and the crude desire for his prey grew stronger inside him.

"It is okay now. Thank you."

Carla regained her calmness and got out of his arms hastily and stepped away to maintain a safe distance from him.

Having been pushed away by Noah just a while ago, Sherry was both furious and envious. She walked over, stared at Carla and said with a sense of disappointment, "Carla, you didn't fake it, did you? You hadn't shown a single sign of fear all the way from the entrance to here, and now you want us to believe that you're suddenly frightened to the core?"
