My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 654

When Chuck woke up, his body still felt sore. After all, he had been punched and kicked by ten men. Even though he had been able to withstand them, there were still the after- effects of the attacks to deal with. He had some internal injuries, but fortunately, none were too severe.

He just needed to recuperate for a few days.

Chuck took this experience as an encouragement for him to train harder.

He had decided that he not only wanted to become the richest man in the world. He also wanted to become the best combat master in the world as well.

"Hubby, you're finally awake! You scared the hell out of me," Yvette murmured and hugged Chuck affectionately.

Faced with such a warm hug, Chuck felt himself let out a sigh of relief. When he had been with the Yeager family before, he had been worried about never being able to see Yvette again.

"It's alright. Everything's fine now," Chuck tried to comfort her.

Yvette hugged Chuck tightly. She had not been able to sleep all night because she was worried that Chuck might wake in the middle of the night. Hence, she stood guard next to him in case he needed anything.

"Hubby, can we stay like this while I sleep? I want to cuddle with you," Yvette pouted cutely.

She only ever showed this side of herself to Chuck.

Since the incident with Willa, she hadn't been able to sleep well for a long while.

"Of course, come on. Go to sleep," Chuck laughed.

Lying in Chuck's arms, Yvette could not help but let out a satisfied sigh before closing her eyes and promptly drifting off.

Chuck smiled as he watched her sleep in peace.

A while later, Chuck received a phone call. It was from Alexandrina.

He was worried that the ringing would wake Yvette up from her slumber.

As such, he quickly answered the call.

"Thank goodness! I finally got through! Just what is the meaning of this? I demand an explanation!"

Alexandrina was relieved when the call had finally connected. She was happy that Chuck was fine.

Chuck coughed a little as he started to tell her about the incident with Willa and the Yeager family.

After listening to his words, Alexandrina frowned. Since Chuck had asked her to help find Willa, she had asked all the killers to gather and report any clues they found that could be linked to Willa. Some of those clues had pointed her to think that Willa's incident might be related to the hidden family.

However, she had been too startled by the possibility and hesitated to tell Chuck about it.

That was because the hidden families were just too powerful.

She did not expect that her conclusion was right. She couldn't believe that Chuck had even managed to walk out of the Yeager family's domain alive!

She didn't expect her cute lover to be so capable.

Her admiration for Chuck skyrocketed at that moment.

"Are you hurt? Do you want me to come over and take care of you?" She asked in a gentle tone.

"No, there's no need for that."

"Why not? Don't forget, you're my lover now, aren't you?" Alexandrina replied solemnly.

Chuck remained silent.

"If you refuse me, I'll tell your mother about what you agreed to! She'll beat the living sh*t out of you once she finds out that you've become my lover."

"Hell no! Please don't do that!" Chuck sputtered.

If his mother knew about this, he would definitely be yelled at for eons.

"Well then, you'd better find a way to get over here. I demand a massage from you. If you don't, I'll tell your mother!"

"Alexandrina, can you bear to see me get beaten up by my mother?"

"You'd have asked for it if that ever happens! You can only blame your own disobedience. Right, rest well now. I'm sure you've missed me terribly..." Alexandrina continued on.

Chuck decided to interject at that moment, "Do you have any more of those bombs? I want to buy some."

Chuck wanted to buy some for his mother and Yvette so they could defend themselves as well.

"That won't be possible. There aren't any more left," Alexandrina replied. There weren't that many of them in the first place!

"Okay then. I guess I'll see you soon."

Feeling disappointed, Chuck coughed as he hung up the phone in a hurry.

"B*stard, you better come see me as soon as you can! Do you hear me? I... Hello? Did he hang up on me?!" Alexandrina scoffed.

Even so, she was glad because Chuck was unharmed.

The call had reassured her of his safety.

Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on her door at that moment.

"Come in!” Alexandrina said as she remained on the sofa.

Frieda walked in as the door opened. She wanted to know if Chuck was dead or not.

She was particularly interested in that.

"Boss, why are you so happy?" Frieda asked, startled. It felt like a bad omen.

"Why wouldn't I be? Chuck is still alive! He's already back," Alexandrina said excitedly.

What?!

Frieda was sullen now. Chuck had been really lucky. Fine then! She'd just have to kill him herself. That was nice too.

The sinister thought flashed in Frieda's mind.

She would show Chuck his place soon.

Meanwhile, Chuck was contemplating the situation at hand. He was certain that the Yeager family would definitely retaliate, so he had to find a solution to the matter. As such, Chuck prepared himself to meet up with the Lawrence family.

They specialised in developing weapons after all. They should be able to replicate Alexandria's bomb.

He could provide them with the bomb he had for their research as well.

To be honest, Chuck also wanted to prepare some weapons to protect himself as well. This time, he was not going to back down.

The Yeager family had enraged him and so, he had to destroy them.

He had to be as prepared as possible to do that.

He landed a soft kiss on the sleeping Yvette's cheek. Sensing a disturbance, she started to scratch at her face unconsciously, not waking up from the sweet dream that she was probably having.

Chuck pulled himself away from Yvette as gently as he could manage.

"Honey, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back soon,” Chuck whispered.

Yvette did not reply as she was still asleep.

With that, Chuck left.

Meanwhile, at the door...

Black Rose's face was devoid of any emotion.

Chuck was startled by the black bruise he saw on her neck. Did someone attempt to choke her? What was going on? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Black Rose, is your neck..."

"Are you planning to go out?" Black Rose asked coldly instead.

She had honestly felt relieved when she saw Chuck yesterday.

As such, she was able to finally get a good night's sleep last night.

"Yes, but your neck...?" Chuck asked out of curiosity. He wondered if she was injured by the Yeager family.

"Don't worry about my neck. It's none of your business," Black Rose retorted bluntly.

"Are you going through menopause?" Chuck asked.

"What?!" Black Rose didn't catcg what he was saying.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Look, I'm planning to pay the Lawrence family a visit," Chuck said.

"I don't care where it is you want to go. No matter where it is, I'll follow you," Black Rose decided that she would not let him out of her sight from now on.

"Suit yourself. Before that, I want to go see how Auntie Logan's doing first..." Chuck said. He recalled back to their time together at the Yeager family's domain. Willa had wanted to tell him something important before she was interrupted.

"There's no need to do that. I just went to check on her. She's been given an injection already, so don't disturb her rest," Black Rose said.

Even though Black Rose regarded Willa as her opponent, she had somehow ended up feeling concern for her without noticing it.

"Well, alright then. I'll check in on her when I get back," Chuck nodded and said. It was best if he allowed Willa to rest up.

Before driving out, he told Karen that he was going to head out for a bit. However, she seemed really busy, so he did not really have the chance to explain his plan thoroughly to her. In fact, Karen was currently occupied with the matters regarding the Oatker family.

After taking over the Oatker family, she would hold even more power than before.

However, Karen did not tell Chuck about what she was doing as she wanted Chuck to rest well without any disturbances.

Once he got settled into his car, Chuck started the engine and proceeded to drive towards the Lawrence family villa. Meanwhile, Black Rose followed closely behind him.

At that moment, in the Lawrence family household.

The blue-eyed beauty, Elise, was staring blankly into space. Seeing this, her mother, Sophia, asked in concern, "Elise, what are you thinking about?"

"Mom, when do you think Chuck Cannon will come over?" Elise asked.

She had to admit Chuck had saved her. Therefore, she had a special place in her heart for her saviour.

Moreover, he was now working with her family as well.

"Why do you want him here?" Sophia snorted. Chuck had embarrassed her last time.

She thought that Chuck had wanted to pursue her, but was surprised to find that it wasn't the case. She had been relieved, but his flirting had flustered her a little back then.

He had told her how beautiful she was and that she had a great figure. He probably shouldn't have objectified her like that.

Sophia was still angry about that to this day.

"To discuss our cooperation, of course! That's something we need to talk about..." Elise said. Her family had already started to collaborate with him on a project. The base was already being built as they spoke.

"What are you talking about? Why do we need to do that? All he has to do is transfer half of the project's funds to us, and well just pay the profits to his account. There's no need for us to meet up. I don't want to meet him again," Sophia scoffed.

"Mom..." Elise whined. It had been a while since she had felt like this. She wondered if it was possible for her to have fallen in love with Chuck.

Chuck - the one who had secretly saved her when she was in danger in the nick of time and left promptly after that.

She didn't want to acknowledge her feelings at first, but now she was starting to accept the fact that she might be a little in love with Chuck. However, it was also undeniable that she still harboured some hatred towards him.

The hatred in question was just slightly less prominent now, but it was still there.

"Stop talking about it!"

Sophia scolded her. Not a moment later, she received a phone call. She answered it in a flash, only to hear her subordinate report, "Madam Sophia, Chuck just arrived. He's saying that he wants to talk to you."

A wave of annoyance settled over her. What was Chuck doing here?
