My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 174



Chapter 174

Chuck sighed. Two days ago, he had promised to buy a car for Yvette. However, he slept too late last night and woke up at 2pm today.

Yvette must be very disappointed since she had been looking forward to it today. He had broken his promise to accompany her today. Moreover, he had not taken the initiative to contact her. Chuck was anxious and wanted to go back immediately.

But what was the point of going back now? He couldn't buy it now even if he rushed home.

Yvette must be very disappointed in him.

Looking at his cell phone, he saw that there were no missed calls from her. Yvette was like this and would hide her feelings. Chuck sighed, "Sister Zelda, I have to make a phone call..."

"Okay," Zelda nodded.

She opened the door and went out, only to see her mother, Manny Lowe, waiting for her. She saw that her daughter's hair was in a mess and her complexion was rosy. Did they have a rough night?

She was an experienced woman. She obviously knew the reason why women were in good spirits after a night.

She smiled and asked, "Zelda dear, did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes mom, I slept extremely well," Zelda sat down and took a sip of the milk on the table.

"Daughter, I won't pester you to get married. But when do you think you can give me a grandchild? I am open minded enough for you to have a baby before marriage," Manny said with a smile.

Zelda's expression became unnatural. Have a child? That would require Chuck to be willing to lay a hand on her first, and also approve of them having a child.

In this case, why would Chuck want to touch her? Even if he finally succumbed to his desires, it would not be possible for her to get pregnant overnight.

She didn't want to threaten Chuck with a child. It was meaningless to do that.

Gosh, even her mother was worried about her love life.

Zelda was forced to come up with an excuse, "Mom, do you think it's appropriate to say such things? Chuck is still a college student."

"What's wrong with college students? How many college students became pregnant when they were studying? Things are different now. My daughter, you have to be more open minded," Manny said earnestly.

Zelda felt helpless.

Manny sighed and said, "My daughter, you will be 31 years old in a few days. Have you ever thought about your age? It's about time for you to have a child. This is what a woman should do in her life."

"Mom," Zelda sighed softly. She glanced sideways into the room. Chuck must be calling Yvette.

Manny couldn't do anything about it. She said, "Daughter, you have to work hard. Chuck is young. The both of you have been together for so long, so you should be pregnant by now. Work harder!"

Zelda smiled bitterly and thought to herself, "If Chuck doesn't want to touch me, how can I work hard?"

On the other hand, Chuck was in the room desperately trying to call Yvette.

When he finally got through to her, he let out a sigh of relief, "Honey, I'm sorry. I told you that I'd like to accompany you to buy the car today, but..."

Yvette said, "Chuck, it's alright,"

Chuck felt even more guilty. He could hear her voice trembling, it must be because she was disappointed. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sigh, what did he just do?

They had finally became closer, so why did he make such a stupid mistake?

Chuck said, "Yvette, are you at work? I'll come over tonight."

Her eyes were filled with tears as she said, "No, I'm going out of town for a business trip. I won't be home until tomorrow." In truth, she was in her room.

She was slapped twice so her face was still swollen. If Chuck saw her like, Yvette would fall apart.

She couldn't let Chuck see her in such a sorry state.

Chuck said gently, "Alright. I went out yesterday and I will be home tonight. What time will you be home tomorrow? I'll pick you up and then we'll go buy the car, okay?"

"I..." Yvette wanted to cry, but she couldn't. She couldn't let Chuck know.

"I'm sorry, honey. I promise I will show up tomorrow. I swear, please trust me," Chuck said earnestly. He could not wait to see Yvette.

"I trust you. Listen Chuck, I'm about to head into a meeting right now."

"Okay, don't tire yourself out, alright?"

"Alright," Yvette said.

Yvette cried hard after she hung up the phone. It was only then that she dared to vent all of her sadness. She sobbed and wiped away her tears, then held her knees close to herself and stared blankly at the empty house. Her tears could not stop flowing. She was happy to receive Chuck's call and hear him promise to bring her out the next day, but she felt wronged by what had happened this morning.

Her husband hadn't forgotten about their plans, he was just busy with things. He was still with her.

......

Chuck came out of the room. He didn't want to stay here anymore and wanted to go back immediately.

However, he saw Zelda waiting for him at the dining table. Chuck had no choice but to have lunch together.

Manny wanted them to stay, but Chuck kept on insisting he had something to do. She had no choice but to let them leave. The two of them then went downstairs.

Chuck drove quickly since he wanted to go home as soon as possible. Zelda sat in the passenger seat. It was quiet throughout the whole journey.

Soon, Chuck reached Zelda's house.

"Thank you so much." Zelda said gently.

"No problem, Sister Zelda. I'll use this car for a couple more days," Chuck wanted to go to Yvette's house right now, so he had to take this car.

"Okay, go ahead," Zelda got out from the car.

Chuck thanked her and sped off to the place where Yvette lived. After all, what if Yvette decided to come back tonight? He had to be home for her!

Zelda looked at Chuck, who was already no more than a speck in the distance. She was silent and sighed. After reaching home, she lay on the bed and just stared blankly at the ceiling...

All of a sudden, Zelda felt that her eyes were wet. "Why am I crying?" She wondered.

......

Chuck drove to Yvette's house. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when he arrived. He quickly jumped out of the car and went straight to Yvette's house. He hesitated and then knocked on the door in an attempt to see if she was home. After knocking, no one responded. However, Chuck could hear someone shuffling inside. She was home.

"It's me, honey," Chuck said.

"Chuck, is that you? Give me a minute..." Yvette was taken by surprise since she was still in daze. She immediately got up and powdered her face. Her swollen cheeks had already subsided, but her face was still red.

Chuck breathed a sigh of relief when the door finally opened. It was Yvette. The moment she saw Chuck, she felt wronged again and tears started welling up in her eyes unconsciously. She muttered, "Chuck....."

Chuck smiled, walked in and closed the door. He felt so happy to see Yvette. They sat down on the couch. However, Chuck was surprised when he noticed that Yvette's high heels were broken.

Chuck asked, "Honey, you broke your shoes?"

"Ah? Oh yeah, it broke while I was walking." Yvette said.

Chuck said, "Have you eaten? Let's go out and grab something to eat." Although Yvette must have had her dinner already, it wouldn't be a bad idea to grab some supper.

Yvette said softly, "Nah, no thanks."

"Okay... honey, can I hug you? Don't worry, I just want a hug. I won't do anything else...." Chuck barely finished his sentence and was surprised.

This was because Yvette had hugged him tightly. She must have missed him after not seeing him for the entire night.

"Hubby... let's go to bed. I'm tired." Yvette said. She held Chuck tightly and closed her eyes, listening to the steady thumping of his heartbeat.

"Alright. Hm, what happened to your face? Why is it red?" Chuck couldn't help touching it, and Yvette's eyes widened. She was flustered and dismissed it, "It's nothing, let's just go to sleep."

Chuck smiled and held Yvette in his arms. He also closed his eyes, his heart finally feeling at peace...

This night passed. Chuck slept soundly, but when he woke up the next morning, he noticed tear stains on his shirt. Chuck was surprised. Was Yvette crying?

He shook his head. She must have had a nightmare.

Yvette had already returned to her room to change her clothes. Chuck casually tidied up her clothes. He planned to call his mother later to ask for some money so he could buy a car for Yvette.

He pondered, should he go to the BMW shop first, or the Mercedes-Benz store? Since he already had a BMW, he could buy a Mercedes-Benz for Yvette.

If she didn't usually use it, he could also try it out some time.

After finishing breakfast, they went downstairs and Chuck drove to the car store. The Mercedes- Benz and BMW stores were all next to each other. They most likely had the same owner.

"Honey, I'll buy you a Mercedes-Benz today," Chuck said. However, he noticed Yvette looking at a Volkswagen store. Did she want a Volkswagen?
