My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 486

Chuck and Yvette walked over soon enough.

Curious, a few of Willa's friends asked for Yvette's name and so naturally, Chuck introduced them. Yvette was nothing but composed now ever since she had become an assassin.

She smiled at each and every one of them and nodded at Willa to show her gratitude. Although Willa knew of her status as a killer, she had agreed to conceal the truth from Chuck for her. She was grateful for this. Willa smiled back in acknowledgement as well.

She really did like Yvette.

If it weren't for Yvette's and Karen's conflict, she would be happy to personally teach Yvette all kinds of martial art skills and assassination methods. After all, she was the love of Chuck's life. It was a worthwhile reason.

They might even become close friends. However, Willa knew she couldn't do so. If she did, Yvette would eventually use those skills to kill Karen in the end.

She did not want that to happen.

Unless if Yvette and Karen call a truce, but would it happen?

"The banquet has begun. Let's go get dinner, I'm starving!" someone mentioned.

Soon, everyone found a place to settle down.

It was uncommon for Chuck and Yvette to have dinner together due to their differing schedules. The way they complimented each other by sitting close was envy-inducing.

Some of Willa's friends were gushing about how adorable the couple looked.

Willa, on the other hand, ate in silence. When Chuck looked at her, she would raise her head and respond with a gentle smile. Other than that, her head remained lowered. She didn't have that much of an appetite but she had to make do.

If she didn't eat, Chuck would worry.

Willa buried all her emotions deep in her heart. Her friends and Yvette did not sense that anything was out of the ordinary...

After dinner, Willa went to bid farewell to the bride and groom with a few of her friends before leaving the scene.

Meanwhile, Chuck went to the bathroom while Yvette waited for him outside.

"Hey, Gorgeous, was that your husband?" a charming voice asked.

Yvette frowned. Turning around, she watched as Young Master Evans approached her.

What's he trying to do?

"Yes," Yvette answered coldly.

Due to the massive crowd and that he was mingling at another side, Kaiden hadn't seen Chuck, Yvette, and Willa together before this.

"You're a liar," Kaiden teased with a smile, not believing her.

When he had walked over just now, he couldn't take his eyes off her figure. She looked absolutely delectable.

How could the man who had just entered the bathroom be the husband of this beautiful woman? They don't seem to be intimate at all. They must just be mere acquaintances.

She must be pretending so she would catch his attention... Well played.

"Excuse me? Did you just call me a liar?!" Yvette scowled.

Chuck truly was her husband. She didn't lie about that!

Kaiden merely smiled at her and continued, "No matter. Still, can I get to know you?"

"I'm not interested. While I am grateful for your help just now, I'm more than willing to pay you in compensation. How much do you want?" Yvette asked. She was in control of the Allen family's fortune now, so money wasn't an issue.

She didn't want to have anything to do with other men other than Chuck.

"Money? You think I'm short of money?" Kaiden teased.

He was from one of the Four Greatest Households.

Why would he ask for money from others?

He found this woman to be interesting. Did this mean she wasn't here to catch his attention nor for his money?

"How refreshing!"

Kaiden thought in his heart in glee.

"You might not be but this is the only way I can think of to thank you," Yvette replied.

"You don't need to thank me. You can treat me to a meal, I'm not picky," he answered.

"No, I won't. Just tell me your bank account details. I'll have the money transferred to you as my gratitude," she said firmly.

Kaiden chortled at that. She's still playing hard-to-get!

"That won't be necessary. Let's count this as you owing me a favor," he said with a smile.

Yvette frowned and deliberated about it. Indeed, this man had helped her. That was undeniable. However, she found him incredibly infuriating.

"Are you not going to speak?" Kaiden probed.

"You're right. I do owe you a favor but I can only return it with money, so state your price. It has to be less than five million dollars," Yvette answered callously.

"Five million dollars? Forget it. Well, just remember that you owe me a favor anyway. I'm leaving for now," he chuckled, turning to walk away.

Soon enough, he started to head towards the exit.

"Hold on!" Yvette shouted at him suddenly.

Kaiden stopped at that, turned his head to look at her and asked, "What is it? Changed your mind about treating me to a meal, have you?"

"Just a fair warning. You can ask me for money any time but don't think about asking me for anything else. Or else, you'll regret it," Yvette stated, making sure she was clear. This man's gaze on her made her feel rather uncomfortable.

"Regret? My, aren't you interesting," he chuckled.

"No, I'm not. I'm just reminding you to not mess with me!"

"Why? Because of your husband?" Kaiden mocked.

"That's right!"

Yvette nodded as she answered. When she was still single in school back then, men were chasing after her from left and right but she had not cared for their attention at all. However, now that she was in a relationship with Chuck, her sole focus was on him and would always be him.

Diverting that focus towards other men was simply impossible.

"If my husband replaces out, you'll regret it even more," she warned him.

"Aren't you a comedian! Whatever, Gorgeous. Let's just end our conversation here. Remember, you are still indebted to me!" Kaiden reminded her once more, leaving with a smile.

Once he got into his car, his driver asked, "Young Master, that woman....."

"She seems interesting," Kaiden finished off.

"Young Master, do you need to call someone to track her then?" the driver asked warily.

"No, she's definitely just playing hard-to-get now. She will come to me by herself soon enough," Kaiden responded confidently.

The driver kept silent after that. It was a reasonable conclusion after all. Young Master Evans was charming and women often offered themselves to him. No one would be able to resist his charm. This woman was no exception.

"Start the car," Kaiden ordered.

He then looked out the window to see Chuck and Yvette walking together. Closing his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up a little into a slight smile...

"Honey, why are you in a bad mood? Did something happen?" Chuck asked when he came out of the toilet and saw Yvette's stoic face.

"It's nothing, Hubby." Yvette shook her head. There was no reason for her to get angry at that man.

Chuck leaned close to whisper something that made Yvette's ears go red. Blushing, Yvette replied, "Alright, I'll go home with you. You're the boss tonight, I'll do whatever you want me too, you hooligan..." Someone other than Black Rose was trying to kill Chuck. How could she not be worried about him? She had intentionally made her way to Central City so she could be with him. Needless to say, she would follow him back home.

Chuck's heart was buzzed with joy.

"Chucky, we can leave now," Willa informed him when they met up. She had just finished bidding her farewells to Miss Yarbrough.

"Alright, Auntie Logan," Chuck replied with no objection. The three of them got into a car after that.

Willa drove them home eventually.

They arrived in no time.

"Chucky, you two have a pleasant night's rest, alright? I'll be sleeping in my room today so just yell if you need anything, okay?" Willa said.

She felt a bit upset. She really liked it whenever Chuck fell asleep on her lap because she thought it was fascinating to watch him sleep. However, she knew she couldn't do that now.

"Okay, I understand," Chuck replied. Willa had been protecting him so fiercely these days, she must be tired. He thought it would be best for her to have a good rest on this night.

Willa smiled gently as she watched Chuck and Yvette enter their room together. Her eyes dimmed once they were out of sight. With a sigh, she started to make her daily rounds outside to check that everything was safe and secure before returning to her room.

Her mind was in a mess. She couldn't stop herself from thinking about what the couple was getting up to next door. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't fall asleep or even focus enough to read a book o watch a movie.

Interestingly, she did not feel particularly jealous or angry. She just felt upset as she held the well-kept cat mask in her hands. Looking at it, she smiled and started to reminisce about what had happened outside the bar that day.

That kiss with Chuck had sent her soaring.

Willa smiled at the thought. When she finally came back to her senses, she could feel her heart break slowly...
