Chapter 240
Willa was taken aback when she saw Chuck kiss her cheek, then he leaned back against the seat, shut his eyes and went to sleep. She was stunned for a few seconds and then she let out a laugh. "This child... Why is he still asleep?"
"Chucky, wake up," Willa shook Chuck's sleeping frame in an attempt to wake him up.
Chuck opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw that it was Willa calling out to him, he shook his head to sober himself up. "Auntie Logan, have we arrived?"
"Yes. Let's eat first, then we'll head to your mother's hotel in the afternoon," Willa said with a smile.
Chuck was curious as he thought, "That's right, Auntie Logan has been here for several days, it's indeed time for her to meet my mother."
"Get down," Willa said while getting out of the car.
Chuck followed right after without a doubt, but as he touched his lips, he thought, "What is this nice scent?"
He didn't give it much thought, and he wouldn't have guessed that he'd kiss Auntie Logan just a while ago anyway.
If Chuck found out, he would definitely be excited.
But, he did have a really good sleep just now. "It seemed that it would be best for Auntie Logan to drive from now on since it was such a comfortable ride," Chuck thought.
Chuck got out of the car and went into the restaurant with Willa to get some food. After that, Willa continued driving and took Chuck to Karen's hotel. Both of them went straight to the top floor.
Chuck met with his mother. Willa had just mentioned that there was a birthday party happening here at night, which was why they were here. Nonetheless, he didn't care as long as there was free food for him. "Chucky, I have prepared a suit for you. Go and get dressed," Karen approached him with a box in her hands, and there was a set of clothes in it.
"Okay," Chuck brought his suit into the room and changed into it.
As the saying goes, apparel makes the man. Chuck changed into his suit and he looked absolutely brilliant, exuding a smart vibe.
Willa's gaze was momentarily fixated on him, her eyes moved slightly.
Karen noticed this and she asked Willa, "How is it? My son is handsome, isn't he?"
Willa smiled and replied, "He's handsome, but Chucky is too young."
It was true that he looked smart, the kind of smart that a college student would possess, along with the clear and pure eyes. That was exactly what Chuck looked like at the moment. Willa was a little surprised. Chuck didn't seem to be dressing up, in particular, these days, he just wore whatever was comfortable to him. In the morning, he went out to look for Auntie Logan without even washing his hair Now that he walked out dressing like this, he looked completely different.
Karen felt helpless as she thought to herself, "Young? But if you, Willa Logan, were to stand alongside Chuck, who would say that he is young?"
"Why don't you give it a try? Think outside the box," Karen persuaded her. In comparison to Yvette's unknown, or should she say problematic personal background, Karen would much prefer Willa to be her daughter-in-law.
"Thank you. But I can't think of it that way, I only see Chucky as a child," Willa smiled as she answered.
Karen was out of ideas. She could see that Willa genuinely didn't have that kind of thought.
Otherwise, Willa wouldn't have taken both times that Chuck had kissed her as accidents.
"This is yours," Karen gave Willa a box, which contained a set of gown, an exquisite pair of high heels, and some jewelry.
Willa went to get changed as well and came out shortly after. Chuck's eyes went wide.
The dress his mother had chosen for Willa suited her perfectly. It wasn't revealing at all, instead, it looked very elegant and wise, and the slender dress outlined Willa's curves. Her figure was really beautiful, she had perfectly curved hips and a slender waistline. Willa was a woman who had displayed her beauty to the extent.
"Does she look beautiful?" Of course, Karen saw her son being dumbfounded at the sight of Willa in that dress.
"Wow. Auntie Logan is so beautiful," Chuck murmured to himself. He recalled the dream he had that day and felt a sense of guilt in his heart. How could he have such dirty thoughts about Auntie Logan? Karen felt helpless again. "Why is he still addressing her as Auntie Logan?" She thought as she let out a sigh.
This kind of matter was dependent on fate. Karen did not intend to get involved, as it would be unfair to Willa. What she wanted was for Willa and Chuck would have a relationship naturally and to slowly develop feelings for each other.
Chuck came to his senses. How could he stare at Auntie Logan like this in front of his mother? That would be him asking for trouble. He withdrew his gaze reluctantly.
"Mom, aren't you attending the party?" Chuck looked at his mother, who was dressed in casual clothing.
Karen replied, "Just the both of you would be fine."
Chuck nodded and walked towards Auntie Logan. He felt nervous deep down because Willa was looking absolutely stunning.
Then, both of them went down to attend the banquet. Betty walked in after she saw the couple and she started, "Young Master and President Logan..."
"Alas, it's better to leave it up to them. I don't control it anyway," Karen shook her head and sat down.
"By the way, recently I've discovered that Yvette is being spied on. I think it's her family's doing, but they haven't revealed themselves. Including the few times when Yvette was beaten up, they were still nowhere to be seen," Betty reported.
Karen was quiet.
"Should I get rid of Yvette? Arrange an accident for her or something? Otherwise, once she finds out the feud between her family and Young Master's family, then..." Betty analyzed, but she had her doubts as she said those words. She wasn't sure how to put it because she had been watching Yvette for so long and she realized that Yvette had quite a decent personality. In fact, if there were no problems with her background, she would be a good match for Chuck.
Karen shook her head and said, "No! Don't do that. Yvette does have her issues, but she hasn't done anything wrong to Chucky after so many years. It's not her choice for her family background to be like this, so it's already difficult for her. Just let her be."
Karen didn't wish for Yvette and Chuck to be together, but she didn't want to interfere in their relationship either. Her attitude towards the matter was to let nature take its course.
"Okay," Betty nodded. "But do I need to deal with the person that has been monitoring Yvette?"
"There's no need to do that for the time being. We don't have to alert the enemy first," Karen said while shaking her head.
"But..." Betty found it hard to speak.
"But what?" Karen asked.
"There are photos of you on that man's mobile phone, and..." Betty discovered that this man would often take the photos out and view them with a very lascivious smile.
How could she not know what that man was thinking?
Karen narrowed her eyes...
Chuck and Willa came down to the restaurant. It was on the first floor of this hotel and the entire space had been reserved. It was an old man's birthday party. Chuck wasn't bothered about who it was, he came just to eat anyway.
"Auntie Logan, let's sit over there," Chuck saw a table in an empty corner. He noticed that ever since Willa walked in, many men were staring at her. The look in their eyes made Chuck feel particularly annoyed He thought, "Who are you guys to stare at my Auntie Logan?"
Willa smiled and followed after Chuck, but she was thinking about wishing the old man happy birthday. She spoke, "Chucky, you have a seat. I'll go and say hello to that man."
Chuck nodded. Only as he watched Willa walking into the crowd that the tension in his heart disappeared. He sighed. Being with a woman like Willa was really joyous but agonizing at the same time. "Chucky," At this time, Chuck heard Willa calling out to him in the crowd. He stood up and walked over. "Auntie Logan, what's wrong?"
"I thought of something, let's go greet him together. He has a piece of land nearby, and it should be good for you to purchase it," Willa explained as this random thought popped into her mind. Chuck was surprised. "Land? It should be worth at least hundreds of millions, isn't it?" He thought.
"Chucky, I'll buy it for you," Willa said in a gentle tone. She saw through Chuck's concerns, and she knew that he didn't want to rely too much on Karen.
That was a good sign. It showed that Chuck as a wealthy second generation, he didn't have the means to just waste money. Instead, he had his own plans to build his life.
Chuck was embarrassed. "I don't want it, Auntie Logan."
How could Chuck have the nerve to accept it?
"Don't be so polite with me, okay? Just tell me what you want, I'll get it for you. Understand?" Willa said gently.
Chuck felt guilty because he had subconsciously came up with a bad idea, "If I want you, would you give yourself to me as well?"
However, when this idea came into his mind, the guilt Chuck felt shattered it. He couldn't think about it any longer.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come with me," Willa took Chuck along with her.
The Xinos family was in the limelight for the birthday party that day. They had chosen to hold the party here specifically as the hotel had gotten pretty famous recently and they provided good service. Sylvester Xinos was entertaining the guests. His eyes lit up as he saw an extreme beauty walking towards him.
Yes, he knew Willa. He knew her through his father's connection and had once pursued Willa, but she had turned him down.
Today was a second chance for him. Sylvester went over and welcomed her warmly, "President Logan, I didn't expect you to show up today. My father is inside. After you."
He frowned as he saw Willa bringing a man with her with such gentleness. His heart was filled with jealousy and he thought, "How dare you, Willa? You've rejected me just to find such a man?"
