My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 231



Chuck Cannon had a sweet dream. He dreamed that he was with Willa Logan but they didn't do anything. It seemed that he couldn't move, so Willa just took care of him gently.

Chuck felt that this dream was too sweet so he didn't want to wake up.

When he finally opened his eyes, he saw Willa sitting on the sofa, reading a French book. He was surprised. What happened? Why was he here?

Chuck was too embarrassed to face Willa because of his dream.

"Auntie Logan." Chuck whispered. His head was throbbing. What was going on? And there was even a wound on his hand. Was he beaten?

"Chucky, are you awake?" Willa raised her head and walked over from the sofa with concern.

"Auntie Logan, what's going on? Why was I sleeping? Weren't we going for a walk?" Chuck really couldn't remember anything. He only remembered that after he met Lara Jean and Charlotte Yates, he came to find Willa and was ready to take her to have a look around. But why did he fall asleep?

"Yes, you fell down and passed out, so I brought you here." Willa smiled. She saw that Chuck's eyes were haggard but not red, which meant that all the effects of the drugs were gone.

Willa was relieved, hoping that the drug would not have much effect on Chuck's body this time.

Chuck was embarrassed. Did he really trip? It was a common occurrence to fall down in scenic spots like this place. But Chuck couldn't believe that he fainted. What bad luck!

"I'm sorry, Auntie Logan. I was going to show you around, but I didn't expect that..." Chuck felt guilty in his heart. It was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening. How could he still take Willa out for a walk? "It's okay. Is your head still hurting?" Willa reached out and pressed Chuck's forehead. Her hand was really soft.

Chuck's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest. Willa was too gentle. He shook his head and said, "Auntie Logan, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"That's good, Chucky, are you hungry?" Willa withdrew her hand. Chuck's forehead was not hot, so he had almost recovered.

Chuck touched his stomach and felt very hungry, as if he had been training for the whole afternoon. He still felt exhausted.

"A little bit."

"Then let's go for dinner."

"Okay." Chuck got up from the bed, but his body was still weak. He stood up and sat down on the bed again. Willa hurriedly came over to hold Chuck. "Chucky, wait in the room. I'll go out and pack some food for you."

"Thank you, Auntie Logan." Chuck was embarrassed.

"Good boy, lie down and wait for me. I will come back soon." Willa shook her head with a smile, stood up and went out. Chuck was lying on the bed, feeling faint. Did Willa take care of him this whole time? Chuck felt happy.

Soon, Willa was back with some takeouts. Chuck ate it, but he still felt weak. Willa said, "Don't worry. You can sleep here today. Take a good rest. I'm staying next door, call me if you need anything." Chuck was hesitant. Why was he so tired? Did he just sleep earlier? He was helpless. Could it be that he had exercised too much recently? That shouldn't be the case though... Chuck didn't think too much. He didn't expect that he was drugged. Even though he was a man, he didn't think about this possibility at all.

"Okay." Chuck nodded with hesitation. After all, he was too weak to do anything and he felt like he was going to collapse at anytime. "Then I'll be next door. Call me if you need anything. Just sleep. It's okay." Willa smiled and went out.

Chuck had no choice but to call Yvette Jordan and tell her that he would not go back today.

It was true that he couldn't go back to such a situation. He hung up the phone, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in a daze. He was too tired. Willa's ears were close to the door as she listened to Chuck's movements. His breathing was even. He had fallen asleep. Everything was fine now. Willa breathed a sigh of relief and went back to her room.

Yvette was disappointed. Was Chuck angry because she brought Susan Sun back, therefore he didn't want to come home today?

However, Susan was of great help to her. How could she stand aside and do nothing when Susan was facing a dilemma?

Yvette could not do that.

"Is your husband not coming back today?" Susan asked. She muttered in her heart, "How dare you come back? Last night, you pinched me in the toilet a few times and it hurt so much! Are your hands made of metal claws?"

"Well, Susan, you don't need to worry." Yvette was afraid that Susan might overthink, and she didn't want Susan to feel burdened.

"I can't stay here forever. I'll go and find a job for the next few days and then move out." Susan was thinking about this but she didn't know how to share it with Yvette.

Chuck's performance in Central City made her think that Chuck was a capable person. So she envied Yvette for being able to find someone like Chuck. She had also thought of what she would do if Chuck was her boyfriend.

Susan was ashamed and angry when Chuck had pinched her last night. She herself didn't understand why she didn't slap him at that time.

She might have forgotten because of the pain.

"It's okay. My husband wouldn't mind. You can live here. Rest assured." Yvette was worried. As expected, Susan had thought too much.

She was really worried about letting Susan stay outside. Susan's company was gone and she owed millions of dollars! She was worried that Susan would give up. She didn't want to lose such a friend.

"Why don't you join me? The company is very busy, and my husband has opened a restaurant for me. It's undergoing renovation now," Yvette said hesitantly.

"A restaurant? How much did he invest?" Susan asked. In fact, she was also curious. Chuck was so capable, but why was he still living in such a community?

Maybe he knew some people when he was in Central City. He might not have that much money but maybe he had good connections.

So she thought he might have invested about a million dollars.

Speaking of this, Yvette was worried, because she had asked about the shop's transfer fee, deposit and rental fee and they cost more than one million dollars not inclusive of the decoration. She was also worried, because she was afraid that it would cost too much money. Even if she had decorated it herself, it would still cost at least two million and eight hundred thousand dollars.

Susan was surprised when she heard this from Yvette. "Where did your husband get that kind of money from?"

A random restaurant cost more than three million dollars?

"Well, I don't know where my husband gets so much money. He also has a sports car and a BMW. He has just bought a Mercedes for me too," Yvette said.

Susan was shocked. That totaled up to more than 10 million!

"Your husband is definitely from a rich family!" Susan affirmed.

"No, he isn't." Yvette held her chin in her hand, wondering why was her husband so rich all of a sudden.

She was really curious.

However, Yvette sighed. Did Chuck go to Zelda' place?

When Chuck woke up the next morning, he had recovered his strength. After taking a bath, he felt that he had to take Auntie Logan to have a look around today. After all, they had wasted the whole afternoon yesterday. Chuck knocked on the door. Willa opened it and smiled with dimples. "How do you feel?"

"Very well, Auntie Logan. I will show you around today," Chuck suggested.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Willa was relieved. Chuck looked much more energetic, which surprised Willa. She thought that Chuck would still be weak for a few days. It seemed that since Chuck was Karen's son, his genes were also very good. He had a chance to become a master of fighting!

After Chuck and Willa had breakfast, they began to stroll around.

Regine Johnson and the other classmates whom he met yesterday were still here. This time all the expenses were paid by Regine, so they could stay for three days. Anyway, it was a small sum of money for Regine. But when she saw Chuck again, she was disappointed. It was better not to meet such a man in the future.

Of course, the other classmates also saw him! They sneered at him. How shameless he was to walk around so openly. He was still showing off that he had a sugar mommy!

Regine shook her head in disappointment. She didn't want to talk to Chuck anymore. She had talked too much yesterday. She remembered what Chuck had said yesterday, "I'm also from a rich family, and there's a plaza..."

She laughed out loud. Really? How could he utter such words?

Regine stopped looking at Chuck and continued to play golf with her classmates.

Chuck thought that this place was not too bad. If he could build a resort here in the future, it should be very profitable.

At night, when Chuck was about to send Willa back, he saw Regine walking over. Regine glanced at Chuck and shook her head in disappointment. Chuck had no choice but to take out the plaza contract in the car and walk to Regine's car. Regine was annoyed. "What are you doing? Are you still going to say that you are from a rich family?"
