Chapter 589
All confidence had left Willa at this moment. After all, she had just been caught red-handed by Chuck's wife.
She had done something incredibly wrong.
Yvette remained silent. She would not deny the fact that she had been angered when she saw Willa kissing her husband.
To Yvette, Willa had always been a respectable elder of hers. She would've never expected Willa to do such despicable things.
Yvette managed to calm herself down eventually. She honestly didn't know how to deal with this as well.
"Auntie Logan, don't say that," Yvette said, shaking her head.
Yvette's impression of Willa was that she had always been a gentle and understanding woman.
She could understand that Willa must have been acting impulsively just now and couldn't help herself.
"I..." Willa trailed off, biting her lip. Yvette's forgiveness made her feel even guiltier.
She had made up her mind already. She was never going to repeat what she just did ever again. She would control herself no matter what.
"Auntie Logan, I want to ask you a question," Yvette said. "Go ahead, then."
"It's about Chuck. Have you ever done other... things with him..." Yvette could not make herself say it out loud.
"No, never," Willa understood what Yvette meant. She was asking if she had been more intimate with Chuck before.
Of course not. First of all, Willa did not much care for physicality in relationships. She cared more about the romantic aspect.
"Yvette, you have to believe that we really haven't. Chucky doesn't even like me. Why would he do anything with me if he doesn't like me, right?" Willa shook her head and said.
Her tone was anxious. She feared that Yvette wouldn't believe her.
"Okay, Auntie Logan, I believe you," Yvette said sincerely. She could feel that Willa was telling her the truth.
She knew in her heart what kind of person Willa was.
"Yvette, do you really believe me?" Willa asked, biting her lip.
"Yes, I believe you. I know you have your principles as well, you wouldn't do something like that on purpose with ill intent. You even waited for him to fall asleep before you..." Yvette stopped.
"Thank you for understanding. I promise I won't do it again," Willa said, slightly upset as the words left her mouth.
She was in control of her emotions most of the time and made sure to bury her emotions deep in her heart. However, she had gotten carried away just now. She wasn't able to control herself when Chuck looked all soft and unsuspecting on her lap. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
In the future, she noted to herself to be more wary of her feelings. She would have to keep a distance from Chuck now and avoid staying in the same room as him.
"Auntie Logan, I don't really know how to deal with all this, but I know how I feel. I'm sorry, but I can't do anything to help you get over it. All I can do is just pretend that I didn't see it," Yvette said. This was the only solution she could think of.
"Thank you. From today on, I will keep a distance from him," Willa said, disappointed.
"There's honestly no need for that..." Yvette didn't even know how her relationship with Chuck would turn out in the end.
Karen, the woman who killed her father, would always be a barrier between the both of them that couldn't be abolished. How could she deal with this matter?
Yvette couldn't really see a future with Chuck at all. What could she do?
Now, she and Chuck were already together. She couldn't possibly refuse him.
Also, she liked him as well. For now, she was just taking their time together one day at a time.
"It's necessary, I have to," Willa said solemnly.
Yvette didn't know what to reply to that. Her feelings were mixed and indescribable. "What's necessary? Auntie Logan... Yvette, Honey,"
Chuck had woken up in a daze. When he saw that Willa had disappeared, he came out of the room to look for her but was unexpectedly greeted by Yvette. He hadn't seen her in a long time so once he laid his eyes on her, his eyes lit up like a kid receiving presents on Christmas.
He rushed over and embraced Yvette.
Yvette was moved by this kind of enthusiasm. Tears started to blur her vision as she mumbled, "Hubby..."
They hugged each other for a long while.
Willa, who was next to them, looked very lonely with tears welling in her eyes. She didn't want Chuck to see her like this, so she lowered her head quickly to hide her face.
She would never be able to get close to him for the rest of her life.
After the initial surprise, Yvette was suddenly aware of Willa's presence next to them.
She couldn't be like this with Chuck in front of her.
"Hubby, don't be like this..." Yvette struggled.
Chuck also came to his senses. Willa's presence suddenly jolted him back into reality.
"Auntie Logan," He greeted Willa.
"I'll stay in the other room. You both have a good talk," Willa looked up with a smile, trying her best to conceal the bitterness in her heart.
She was always very good at concealing her feelings. Ultimately, she was never one to reveal her true self. Chuck did have a lot of things to discuss with Yvette, so he nodded in thanks.
Eventually, Chuck grabbed Yvette and dragged her into the room. Yvette was feeling a little out of sorts but followed along anyway.
The corridor was left empty.
Willa had walked outside and stared at the traffic. She felt as if she was going to burst into tears at any moment.
However, she didn't want to do that.
What if Chuck saw her? She wouldn't want him to see her cry.
It would be too difficult for her to explain her way out.
With that, she had no choice but to reign in her sadness. Right then, a voice called out to her from behind, "Willa, what's wrong?"
Karen and Betty had come back.
"It's nothing..." Willa shook her head, all her emotions completely suppressed in her heart.
Karen looked up at the hotel and understood instantly. She guessed, "Is Yvette back?"
"Yes, she is."
"Did she see something she wasn't supposed to?" Karen inquired.
"She did..."
"So, Yvette got angry then?"
"No, she didn't get angry at all. She's going to act like she didn't see anything," Willa replied. "Are you..." Karen knew Willa's personality all too well.
Willa must be incredibly upset right now. It would explain why she was looking the way she was right now.
"I'm fine," Willa answered, having successfully repressed her sadness completely.
"Sigh, I really don't know what to say..."
Karen was helpless. As an experienced woman, she knew love was not something easy to handle.
Willa remained silent in front of Karen for the first time. However, after a few seconds of silence, she quickly asked, "Sister Karen..."
"I think I'd prefer you to call me Auntie," Karen stretched out her hand and tidied Willa's fringe.
"But..."
"No exceptions."
"Alright. So, what did that woman say?"
Willa was worried about this. The hidden family was not one to be trifled with. If they were to take action, the situation would become dangerous.
"She said she wants Chucky to marry into her family and take on her surname."
"What? No, absolutely not!" Willa immediately refuted.
It was unheard of!
She wanted Chuck to marry into her family and even change his surname to Whitlock?
"I said the same thing as well, but she... It's really hard to know what's going to happen next. As of now, I can only do my best to fend her off..." Karen said.
After returning to the United States, she was going to resolve the issue with the Oatker family immediately. Then, she could focus on doing her best to resist the hidden family.
Willa nodded after hearing that and heaved a sigh of relief. If Chuck were to ever marry into another family, it would feel like selling him off to someone else.
They would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Betty, go upstairs and get Chucky and Yvette down here. We'll head back to the United States together," Karen said.
Betty nodded and obeyed her directions.
Having noticed that Willa was still looking a bit bummed out, Karen cleared her throat loudly and started to say, "When we get back, I'll have a drink with you."
Willa nodded in thanks. She really needed a drink to make her feel better at this moment.
Meanwhile, in the room, things were heating up.
Chuck was feeling ecstatic.
"Hubby, does your head still hurt?" Yvette asked, laying beside him.
"Not really, I just feel a little uncomfortable," Chuck admitted. He decided to deal with it only after they've arrived back in the United States.
"Well then, you'd better check up on it later. Hubby, can I ask you a question?" Yvette asked hesitantly. "Of course, go ahead."
"What do you think about Willa?" Yvette asked.
This was an odd question.
Chuck was a little confused by it himself. First of all, he just thought Willa was amazing.
Of course, he had some other thoughts about her as well. However, because of Willa's diligent care towards him during his slump, Chuck did not think it was right to regard Willa inappropriately.
Instead, he respected her immensely.
"She's a person I respect a lot," Chuck replied.
"Respect?" Yvette was astonished. Willa was so perfect, so why didn't Chuck have any romantic feelings for her? She didn't know what to think.
He grunted in affirmation.
Yvette remained quiet afterwards.
Chuck held her in his arms and asked, "Why did you mention that all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing. Did you miss me?" Yvette blushed, trying to change the topic. Of course Chuck missed her, but the issue with Willa remained a nagging thought at the back of his mind. What were they talking about when he was asleep?
"Honey, what were you talking about with Auntie Logan just now?" Chuck asked out of curiosity.
