Chapter 288
Willa smiled, "You are willing to let me stay by your side?"
"Yes, of course." When Chuck saw Willa's expression, he felt much better as her smile was the kind that could elevate one's mood instantly.
During this period, Chuck was worried about Yvette's disappearance and was constantly in a bad mood. It was Willa who had been accompanying him all this time. There was one night where he had completely lost it, and Willa was there to comfort him for the whole night. It eventually made him feel better, and he had fallen asleep on her lap.
However, Chuck felt that he was being too selfish. Willa's home was in Central City, if he asked her to stay, wouldn't it be equivalent to asking her to move over?
"Let me think about it," Willa said as her gentle smile remained.
"There's no need to stay, Auntie Logan. When I miss you, I'll go to Central City to find you," Chuck said.
"Why?" She asked.
Chuck explained, "Auntie Logan, I know that you're willing to stay, but your home is in Central City. How can I ask you to stay here?"
Willa chuckled, "It's okay. I can move my home."
She had stayed in Central City for far too long. She thought that she could actually move out and go somewhere else. For instance, it was not a bad idea to move to Chuck's place. By then, they could at least go out and wander around sometimes.
Having said that, did it mean that Willa agreed?
Chuck was pleasantly surprised, but he maintained, "Auntie Logan, it's too selfish of me to ask you of this."
"No, Chucky, you are just an innocent child," Willa shook her head and said.
Chuck was embarrassed to hear that. He had dreamed about Willa and him making out before. However, recently, he felt that he could not think in such a way. It was blasphemy. Willa was noble and selfless towards him, it was not right for him to have such dirty thoughts.
"Auntie Logan, I think it's better for me to go and find you at Central City instead," Chuck was particularly serious when he said that.
Willa smiled, "Fine, I'll listen to you."
Chuck thought that Auntie Logan must be feeling exhausted, thus, he suggested that she should take a good rest at his mother's hotel. Willa said instinctively, "Is there someone at your house?"
Upon hearing the question, Chuck paused. Did she want to stay at his house? Was she used to it already? Chuck then replied, "No, there's no one there."
"Then, can I stay at your house?" Willa asked.
Needless to say, Chuck had no problem with that. Willa smiled and said, "Let's go then."
Chuck's car was at the car park, so he drove home with Willa. On the way home, she received a phone call. Chuck noticed that Willa's expression fell after answering it. Did something happen? Chuck was worried.
He was uncertain about how Willa had dealt with Master Harry the last time.
Chuck didn't ask further. When they got home, Willa went straight into the house. She sat down for a while and then got up, saying, "Chucky, I have to go back to Central City tonight."
"Auntie Logan, did something happen there?" Chuck asked worriedly. His mother had gone to the United States for so long, and she had not returned. At the same time, was Auntie Logan faced with challenges too?
"Yes, Chucky, you should go get some rest," Willa said gently and headed out. Chuck was reluctant for her to leave, he chased after her until the door and hugged Willa. Willa was stunned, then she smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be back again. Take a rest."
Chuck was reluctant to part ways with her. In fact, while he was hugging Willa, he could see her cheek. He wondered how Willa would react if he kissed her.
Of course, Chuck did not dare do so.
After that, Chuck offered to drive Auntie Logan to the airport, but she said that she had already booked a driver and the aircraft was waiting for her already. It seemed like she was in a hurry. Otherwise, she would not have gone back at such an hour.
Chuck felt disappointed, "Auntie Logan, I'll look for you in Central City some other time."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Rest early," Willa smiled, went downstairs and left.
Willa's scent lingered in Chuck's embrace and the smell was very pleasant.
Willa went downstairs and got into the car. She took out her mobile phone and looked at a photo from the surveillance camera. It was Yvette...
"What are you doing in Central City?" Willa thought helplessly. She didn't say anything about it as she had to first see what Yvette was up to.
Chuck slept soundly that night. Early the next morning, Chuck drove to Yvette's rented place. As he was very early. Susan opened the door in a daze, still in her pajamas.
When she saw that it was Chuck, she was stunned because his appearance had changed tremendously.
Chuck was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. The muscles in his arms were prominent and he had a healthy complexion. It had only been a while, how did Chuck become like this?
Although her pajamas were a little transparent and revealing, Chuck's eyes did not linger on her for long. He asked her if Yvette had come back. Then, Susan told him everything that had happened. When Chuck heard that Yvette had returned with a battered body, he was distressed.
"Did Yvette go to look for me? Where did she go?" Chuck asked hurriedly. When Yvette had returned, he had already gone for training. Was she already looking for her since then?
As both of them were looking for each other, how did they fail to reach each other?
"How would I know?" Susan pursed her lips and sat down. Then, she asked, "Hey, where are you going?"
Chuck was busy thinking about Yvette and did not have the mood to answer Susan's question. Yvette had escaped from captive by herself, but where did she go? Chuck really wanted to see her.
When Chuck was about to go out again, Susan curled her lips and told him about the recent affairs of the company and the shops. After listening to her, Chuck nodded slowly, "You did a good job. You can decide on your salary's amount. You have to help around before my wife is back."
"Got it," Susan replied.
"Good. By the way, stop sitting like that. I can see everything," Chuck said as he walked out.
Susan blushed and snorted angrily, "Pervert! Haven't you seen enough last time?"
Chuck drove to find Queenie.
Actually, he had given Yolanda a call in the morning. She informed him that everything was fine at the plaza, and the progress for the piece of land was also moving in an orderly fashion. Yolanda had done a good job.
However, Yolanda also said that Quinn would occasionally go to the plaza to look for her. Recently, she went there every day as if she was asking on Chuck's whereabouts. Yolanda didn't know where Chuck was, so she couldn't answer Quinn at all. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Chuck felt strange. "Why would Quinn look for me?" he thought.
Chuck didn't bother to entertain that woman because they would annoy each other the whole day when crossing paths. Chuck didn't want to see her, hence just told Yolanda not to mention to Quinn about his return.
Besides, Yolanda also said that Quinn was very concerned about the business at the plaza and had given her some ideas. What was she trying to do?
While thinking of that, Chuck arrived at Queenie's house. Now, he could take Queenie to terminate her pregnancy. He had already given her a phone call just now, and she said that she would come down immediately. Chuck wanted to find Yvette after he was done with this matter. If she was looking for him, why didn't she come back to find him?
Chuck believed that Yvette would return eventually.
It was just a matter of time.
Queenie came down. Chuck couldn't see any changes in her abdomen, but it was the right time for her to do the procedure. After all, she had to recuperate for a few days as school was about to start.
Queenie got into the car. When Chuck was ready to drive, Queenie whispered, "Chuck, I have done it myself."
Chuck was shocked. She had done it herself? When did she do it? Chuck studied her carefully and found that her face was pale. It seemed that she truly had an operation. Chuck was distressed. Why did she do it herself secretly? There was no one to sign the documents for the operation. Did she do it at an unknown clinic?
"Why didn't you wait for me? I've already told you that I would bring you to do it when I am back," Chuck sighed and felt even more guilty. He felt sorry for her. He had accidentally slept with her and got her pregnant. Now that she underwent the pregnancy termination alone, she would have been helpless when she did that because no one was by her side.
"I didn't want to trouble you," Queenie lowered her head and said, but she couldn't help looking at Chuck. His healthy complexion and well-defined muscles were really attractive.
Chuck asked, "Where did you do it?"
"It's the hospital we went to previously," she replied.
Chuck was surprised. Wasn't that the hospital that Quinn wanted to buy over? Could it be that Quinn consented Queenie's operation? Chuck asked her this but Queenie was unsure. Anyway, she figured that it was the hospital's best doctor who did her operation.
If that was the case, it should be Quinn's instruction. He didn't expect Quinn would do this.
Chuck thought about it at length and felt that he had to thank Quinn. However, Chuck still cared about Queenie and took her to buy a lot of health supplements. After all, school was starting soon.
And she was still a sophomore.
Chuck felt at ease after he did all that. After chatting with Queenie for a while, he sent her upstairs to rest. Queenie was depressed for staying at home alone. She had wanted Chuck to accompany her for a little while longer as she was ultimately helpless when she had the surgery.
However, Chuck left in a hurry. He probably had something else to do.
Chuck returned to the car and thought that he had to go to the plaza to have a look. If he bumped into Quinn, he could thank her and treat her to a meal. But at this moment, Chuck's cell phone rang all of a sudden. It was a text message from an unknown number that read, "Yvette is in Central City!"
