Chapter 194
In fact, Karen had always thought differently about Willa. She enjoyed helping people, and that was why she helped Willa establish her own company. On top of that, she also wanted to groom her to become her daughter-in-law.
She had always wanted Willa to call her 'aunty', but it seemed like Willa had yet to catch on what she meant.
Since she had suspicions about Yvette's identity, she wanted to bring Chuck and Willa together. She knew Willa quite well, and Willa was also gentle and beautiful. Hence, Karen thought that Willa was more suitable for her son.
Of course, Karen would never force Chuck to do anything against his will, nor would she force him to leave Yvette. He had to make that decision on his own. It seemed like Chuck was quite popular among the girls.
Karen wanted to think of a way for Willa and Chuck to communicate more so that Willa would slowly fall in love with him.
However, her son's popularity was overwhelming. She didn't know whether to smile or be upset about his harem of women.
As a mother, Karen wanted Chuck to have the right values. She wanted him to be in a monogamous relationship that would last until his old age. That would be good for Chuck in the future.
Karen didn't want her son to be dissolute like immoral men of ancient times. However, he was really lucky with women. Karen was out of ideas. She couldn't order her son not to speak to other women, right?
That wouldn't work. It was good that her son was so lovable, but she had to think of a way to bring him back on track.
She sighed silently. Seeing that his mother did not speak, Chuck could not help but ask, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Karen shook her head. "You should get in touch with Willa. She's very gentle and nice."
Chuck was confused. What did his mother mean? He didn't think much about it. Anyways, he thought that it was probably a good idea to get in touch with Auntie Logan since her car smelled nice anyway.
In addition, Willa's gentleness was rare to come by, and she had an adorable smile too.
Chuck nodded and agreed. However, Auntie Logan lived in Central City, and he had no intention of visiting that city any time soon. He couldn't ask her to visit him, right?
He knew that with a phone call, she could come over right away. It wasn't nice of him to do so though.
Therefore, he decided to wait for it.
"Mom, Yvette called and asked me to go back. I'll get going now," Chuck said.
Karen sighed. "Well, the chef prepared some dishes. You can ask them to pack it home."
It seemed like Chuck valued his marriage more than his mother. Karen really wanted to have a meal with her son.
"Alright."
Chuck walked out happily as he headed downstairs to get some food. He figured that he could have dinner with Yvette, and then hug her to sleep.
......
A while later, Betty walked in and said, "Do you want me to teach Quinn Miller a lesson?"
"No. Strong women have their tempers. She isn't that bad of a person, so let Chucky handle it himself. After all, he was in the wrong today." Karen shook her head.
Betty didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she viewed the CCTV footage. No wonder Quinn went ballistic. He actually grabbed her chest and pulled her into the room.
As a woman, she was speechless. If Chuck treated her like that, she would have probably...
Betty immediately shook her head. Chuck probably wouldn't do it to her.
Karen asked, "By the way, what do you think of Chucky and Willa?"
"Erm... President Li, you mean as a couple? Would Willa agree?" Betty asked curiously. After all, she didn't think Willa liked Chuck that way. She probably just thought of him as an amiable junior.
"Willa has always been single. Although she is a little older than Chucky, she has a good character and will take good care of him. I am quite satisfied with that. Since she is a gentle person, she might consider it if I mentioned it to her. Although whether they end up together or not would be entirely up to Chucky himself," Karen said.
She took out her phone, found Willa's number, and called her. After a while, Willa answered. Karen smiled and asked, "When are you free?"
......
Meanwhile, Chuck had just reached home. He had parked his car in the parking lot. Since Zelda Maine's car was still in the plaza, he thought of returning the car to her the next day. She did say that she needed his help as well.
He carried the packed food upstairs and knocked on the door. As soon as the door opened, he felt a warm embrace. Yvette actually took the initiative to hug him and Chuck was surprised. What happened?
"Hubby, remember to answer my call next time, okay?" Yvette held Chuck tightly in her arms, just relieved that he was fine.
Chuck was embarrassed. He recalled all the disturbing thoughts he had when he sent Charlotte Yates away. That was probably why he didn't hear his phone ring. He didn't know that it was because she had drugged him.
"Well, let's eat first," Chuck said. Chuck knew Yvette was hungry, so he had asked the chef to prepare several dishes. Yvette was surprised to see so much food.
However, she didn't think too much since she was hungry. After eating with Chuck, she cleaned up a little and took the initiative to lie in his arms. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She felt very tired, but as long as she was in Chuck's arms, she felt extremely safe.
Even though the incident with Quinn had shaken Chuck out of whatever he was feeling when he was drugged by Charlotte, he still could not restrain himself from those thoughts.
He had been exercising and was already looking forward to showing his body off to Yvette.
The next morning, Yvette woke up early to prepare breakfast. After Chuck finished eating, he wanted to call Zelda about her plans. However, because Yvette was worried about the loan sharks getting to him, she wanted him to follow her to the office. She needed to keep an eye on him.
Otherwise, if something bad happened to Chuck, she would really hate herself.
As Yvette was planning everything in her head, she suddenly received a phone call and was completely stunned.
Meanwhile, Chuck hid in a toilet and called Zelda about her plans. She was surprised to hear from Chuck so early in the morning and told him excitedly, "I really want to go for a drink today. If you have some time, come and have a drink with me."
She didn't tell Chuck that it was her birthday. After all, she didn't want him to buy her a gift. At the very least, she just wanted Chuck to accompany her.
Chuck agreed, "Okay, what time?"
"Great! How bout this afternoon? Or tonight?" Zelda replied enthusiastically.
"I'm fine with anything."
"Alright, I'll wait for you in the parking lot of the plaza." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"Okay."
Chuck hung up the phone and walked out of the toilet wondering why Zelda sounded so excited.
"There must be something that she needs my help with. Of course, I'll help her," Chuck thought.
"Hubby, are you free today?" Yvette asked eagerly.
She had just received a phone call from her classmate about a class reunion. She initially didn't want to go because she had been busy and the usury matter had been stressing her out. However, she remembered that one of her classmates' husband was a lawyer, and she could take his advice now.
Otherwise, she would need to fork out 7 million dollars, as well as worry about Chuck's safety. If something happened to him, she would really break down.
Chuck was surprised. He had just promised Zelda...
He could only ask her, "Honey, what can I do for you?"
"I have a class reunion today and I'd like you to come with me. It'll be from noon till night," Yvette said with excitement. She had always gone to reunions alone, and it would be the first time bringing someone along.
Chuck looked at Yvette. Her eyes were full of anticipation, and Chuck couldn't bear to turn her down. After a moment of silence, he nodded with a smile, "Okay."
"Thank you, hubby..." Yvette sighed with relief. Now that she had a husband, she would not get harassed by the boys anymore.
Just as Yvette went into the room to change, Chuck entered the toilet once again. He called Zelda and said, "Sister Zelda, I'm sorry, I actually have something going on today..."
