Chapter 264
"I don't know about that. What I do know is that, Chucky, you care about her very much. She will be fine," Willa was gentle as she spoke. She felt sorry for Chuck when she saw him acting as if he had lost his
soul. She had already made a phone call and sent someone to look for Yvette.
However, Yvette's disappearance this time was very strange. After being guided by someone, she disappeared. After all, she did answer a phone call before leaving the hotel.
It was this phone call that made Yvette disappear. Willa felt that although Yvette did not know how to fight and was sometimes even vulnerable, she was very smart. Yvette was a smart person.
If this woman learned how to fight, she would be unstoppable.
"Auntie Logan, can I lean on you a little longer?" Chuck asked in a timid voice. He felt wonderful when he leaned on Willa's thighs.
She was a master of martial arts, and the build on her legs was perfect. But with a layer of pants in between, Chuck felt as if he was lying on a pillow. No, not a pillow, it was a hundred times better than a pillow "Alright, you can lean on me as long as you like," Willa smiled and fixed Chuck's hair. "Sleep for a while if you are tired."
"Okay," Chuck closed his eyes, mainly because he felt so comfortable it made him sleepy.
Willa felt a little relieved. She knew that Chuck hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days.
She quietly and lightly played with Chuck's hair with one hand and held a book to read with the other. She occasionally looked down and saw Chuck sleeping soundly. Willa smiled gently.
At night, Chuck woke up. He slept so well that he didn't want to wake up.
"Chucky, are you awake? I'll make you dinner." Willa put down the book in her hand and stood up, but Chuck had lay on her thighs through the afternoon, which made her legs cramped up. She wobbled as she got up.
When Chuck saw it, he rushed over in guilt and caught her, "Auntie Logan, I'm sorry."
Otherwise, how would Auntie Logan's legs be cramped? It was because he had laid on her legs for too long. Chuck lowered his head and stared at her, and saw that there was surprise written on her face. "I'm okay," Willa shook her head with a smile and said. She stood up straight and stretched her legs, the cramp went away. She asked Chuck to wait for a while and went making dinner for Chuck.
Chuck sat down and called his mother again, but there was still no news. Chuck was getting really anxious.
Had Yvette been kidnapped? But if she was kidnapped, shouldn't someone had called to ask for ransom?
But Chuck had not received a call from any stranger in the past few days!
This was Chuck's concern. A week had passed, when Chuck returned home, Susan was still in the room. In the past few days, she had helped Yvette manage her company and the restaurant's renovation. She was working day and night.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Susan thought it was Yvette who came back. But when she saw Chuck, she asked helplessly, "Why hasn't Yvette come back yet?"
Chuck couldn't answer her question. He just sat down in a daze. Normally, he should be holding Yvette in his arms at this hour.
Susan went back to her room to sleep. She was tired and didn't worry that Chuck would come in suddenly. She didn't want it, and she also knew that Chuck didn't have the thoughts.
Zelda dressed up decently. She knew that Yvette had gone missing and Chuck was very dispirited. Thus, she asked Chuck out to cheer him up. She had to call Chuck several times before he agreed to it, but he was quite uninterested.
Zelda was worried that Chuck would be discouraged from now on. That could not happen, especially for a man.
"Hey, what's wrong with your boyfriend?" Quincy was puzzled. Zelda was going on a date with her boyfriend, but why did she call her to come along?
"He's fine. It's just that something happened to him recently," Zelda sighed. She was really worried about Chuck.
"Then, you should comfort him, preferably in bed..." Quincy smiled mischievously. She was also envious that Zelda had found such a good boyfriend while her on the other hand, unfortunately, was still single. Zelda was speechless. She had no problem with that, but she had to make sure Chuck was willing to!
It wouldn't be nice of her to force herself on him, would it?
Zelda couldn't do it, and she didn't want to increase Chuck's burden.
"Hey, What happened to your boyfriend? How many days had he not washed his hair? He looks awful... and the beard? Did I mistaken him for someone else?" Quincy was suddenly shocked because she saw a man walking towards them. His hair was in a mess as if he had camped in a cybercafe for months.
Zelda also felt distressed. How could it be like this? At the same time, she felt upset as well. It seemed that Chuck really liked Yvette a lot. Otherwise, he would not end up like this.
"Don't you feel ashamed?" Quincy was angry. It was her father's birthday today, and Zelda knew it, that was why they decided to go to the celebration together. However, Zelda said that they needed to wait for someone, and it was Chuck, hence Quincy waited.
But she didn't expect to see Chuck show up looking like this.
"Don't talk nonsense. Chuck has encountered something bad recently," Zelda shook her head.
Quincy asked curiously, "Are you saying that your boyfriend's family went bankrupt?"
Zelda replied, "No, don't overthink."
"But, going there with him looking like this, I feel so embarrassed," Quincy shook her head and said with great dissatisfaction in her heart.
Chuck did not drive this time. He opened the car door and sat in.
"Hey, how long have you not taken a bath for?" Quincy was agitated. She was made to wait for so long just for someone like him?
"Stop it," Zelda was helpless. At least, she didn't smell anything strange from Chuck.
Quincy curled her lips and muttered in her heart, "His family must have gone bankrupt, or else, why would he be like this?"
She drove while feeling pissed, but at the same time, she sympathized with her best friend Zelda. She was just being envious a while ago because she knew that Chuck had bought a sports car last time. However, it had not even been long since they last met, and now he was in this state. Wouldn't Zelda have to suffer with him in the future?
That's right, Yvette had been missing for ten days. He had already looked through all the places where Yvette could have gone to, but there were still no clues at all. Chuck felt sad and powerless.
Zelda's heart ached for Chuck. She held Chuck's hand and said, "You'll get over this."
Chuck smiled bitterly. At this time, he didn't know what to do.
He really missed Yvette.
"Here we are, get off now!" Quincy parked the car in her own villa. She was reluctant to let Chuck in, but she had no choice as he was Zelda's boyfriend.
"Let's go," Zelda said gently. Chuck nodded, opened the door, and got out. But Zelda held onto him and said, "You still have me. I'm always here..."
This was Zelda's sincere words.
"Okay," Chuck couldn't raise any thoughts now. Zelda let go of him sadly.
"Let's go in. It's Quincy's father's birthday today. I've already prepared something," Zelda said as she took out a gift box from the car.
Chuck was well prepared as well. He knew that it was someone else's birthday, but he didn't know what to give, so he took a gold card from his mother's hotel. He heard from his mother that the hotel had only sent out three of such gold cards.
Being a gold card member of the Hotel Luna meant that they could enjoy a lot of services, as well as the symbol of identity. Some would spend a few million trying to buy it, but his mother wouldn't sell it. He hoped that Quincy's father would like it!
Following Quincy in, they saw many people. It was actually a family gathering. However, Zelda and Quincy had a close relationship, thus Zelda had no choice but to show up.
Quincy's parents liked Zelda very much and often wanted to introduce a boyfriend to her. However, when they heard from Quincy that Zelda had found a decent boyfriend, they were also happy for Zelda. "Mom, Dad, I'm here..." Quincy said. She didn't want to introduce Chuck anymore. Because when Chuck and Zelda came in, her relatives were surprised and wondered who Chuck was.
And from the look in their eyes, some of these relatives were not willing to have a meal with such a disheveled person.
"Zelda, you came. Who is this?" Quincy's father asked curiously.
"Uncle, this is my boyfriend, Chuck Cannon," Zelda introduced.
"This is your boyfriend?" Quincy's father frowned, but it was not good to lose temper. They treated Zelda as their daughter, and when he saw that she had brought back such a boyfriend, he was certainly unhappy.
"Uncle, happy birthday," Chuck wished and took out the gold card he prepared.
Quincy's father nodded indifferently, "Thank you. Take a seat."
He carelessly left Chuck's gift in the pile of gifts he had received.
