My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 584

Chuck continued on his way without looking back. Adriana was too proud, but she didn't even have a single penny with her. On top of that, he didn't owe her any favors, so what was she acting up for? After walking around for a long while, he decided that he couldn't continue wandering aimlessly. He needed to call Karen for help.

What Adriana said about her family must be true, but was the difference between his and her family really as vast as she had said? Was the amount of money that they earned annually really equivalent to all of Karen's wealth accumulated throughout her life?

If that was true, it would be a terrifying amount indeed!

Chuck felt a little uneasy. It would best if he could get in contact with Karen now.

However, he couldn't even understand the language here, so how on earth would he be able to borrow a phone? Suddenly, he thought of a plan. Since he was hungry anyway, he could just eat for free and have the owners lend him a phone for him to pay for the meal. That would work, right?

By then, he would simply need to ask Karen to send someone over.

Chuck saw a restaurant nearby and immediately entered it. After a waiter seated him, he ordered a few dishes and waited for the food to arrive.

Truth to be told, the dishes here did not suit his taste buds. However, he was famished, so he couldn't afford to be picky.

After he finished his meal, he called the waiter over. After an attempt to signal that he had no money on him, the waiter was immediately infuriated. With one loud roar, several bulky men came over and prepared to beat Chuck up.

Meanwhile, Chuck was at a loss for words. Was violence what these people resorted to when resolving conflicts?

However, he was full of energy now that he had a meal. He managed to overtake all of them and asked one of them to hand over his phone.

The man who was caught was scared half to death. Chuck stared at him speechlessly. He suddenly understood the importance of understanding other languages.

"D*mn...."

Suddenly, a man carrying a gun came over. Chuck immediately started to run, the loud bangs of the gun right behind him.

The shots of the gun continued on and on.

"D*mmit!"

Chuck felt agitated and helpless. He ran into the crowds, hoping that the man wouldn't dare to fire into the crowd.

Weaving between the crowd, his skin crawled in fear. No matter how powerful he was, a single bullet to the heart would still take away his life. Bang!

While he was busy escaping the bullets, he suddenly bumped into a person.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Chuck started to run off without even looking at the person he bumped into.

However, a hand held onto him just as he was about to move again.

Chuck pleaded desperately, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

Being caught by someone while escaping - how scary was that?!

"I know. I did it on purpose," The voice that replied sounded extremely emotional.

It was the voice of someone Chuck knew. He looked up immediately, his eyes meeting with the eyes of a woman who was tearing up. Her lips were trembling as she looked at him.

He felt overwhelmed with happiness and relief, hugging her tightly while exclaiming, "Auntie Logan... Is it really you?"

Chuck was overwhelmed. Being able to meet a familiar face such as Willa at this timing was a miracle.

"Yes, it's me," Willa reassured him gently.

Tears rolled down her eyes. She had been searching for him for so long. Her days were filled with constant worry for Chuck's safety.

She was so concerned that something might have happened to him. Just as she was about to leave this place and head for somewhere else in search of him, he had collided into her. When she saw him, she instantly burst into tears.

Ever since she saw Chuck being hit in the head with a steel pipe, she had been on edge.

On her journey to search for him, she had always been worried about the mountains of obstacles that he would have had to overcome in order to escape. After all, he barely had any experience or knowledge of surviving in the wild.

At first, she was reluctant to leave the Amazon forest. She was initially doubtful that Chuck would replace his way out, but eventually tried trusting in his ability to make it out safely.

Hence, she followed her guts and came out of the forest. However, she had searched for a whole day for him to no avail. She then assumed that he was still in the forest and was about to return, only to bump into him here.

"Hey..."

The group of men who were after Chuck finally caught up to him. Chuck let go of Willa and stood in front of her.

They had murderous intent in their eyes. Glaring at him fiercely, they had him at gunpoint.

"What are you doing?" Willa asked in a cold tone.

Chuck was taken aback when Willa spoke to them in their native language. She understood them?

On top of that, she was even quite fluent in their language. What an amazing woman. Chuck was in awe at her abilities.

"He didn't pay for his meal and even hit us," Someone replied angrily.

This time, it was Willa's turn to be surprised. She exclaimed in disbelief, "Chucky, did you not pay for your meal?"

"I-1 don't have money on me, Auntie Logan," Chuck was embarrassed.

Willa laughed at his answer, "Silly boy."

She ruffled his hair.

Then, she took out a few hundred dollars and passed it to the men, saying, "Here! Here's some cash, take it!"

Their eyes widened at the amount of money she had just pulled out.

The anger in their eyes dissipated immediately and their faces were all smiles. They said something to Willa and left in peace. Chuck heaved a sigh of relief, "Auntie Logan, I..."

"Silly child, did you have a good meal just now?" Willa asked softly.

"Yeah," Chuck touched his stomach.

"What do you want to eat? I'll treat you," Willa offered cheerfully, her gaze following Chuck all the time.

"Auntie Logan, am I dreaming?" Chuck felt that her smile was familiar. However, wasn't Willa supposed to be back home?

"Silly child, no, you're not dreaming," Willa was stunned as Chuck suddenly hugged her.

It felt good.

Willa brought Chuck for dinner at a luxurious hotel. Whatever Chuck wanted to eat, she allowed him to order it. She was hungry as well, but above all, she wanted to see him eat to his heart's content. It was only then that she could feel herself rooted in reality.

"Chucky, are you full?"

"I am."

"Then go up and rest for a while. We'll stay here for one night," Willa still needed to call Yvette, Black Rose and Karen to inform them that Chuck had been found.

"Okay, but Auntie Logan, can you accompany me today?" Chuck had a strong urge to fall asleep with Willa by his side.

When he saw Willa, he felt like he was dreaming.

"Okay, I'll take you upstairs."

Willa smiled and took him upstairs.

"Wow, that foreigner's girlfriend is really beautiful."

"I know, right? How I wish that she's mine."

A few locals stared in envy at Chuck, gossiping in a language that only Willa understood.

She felt slightly jovial at their words.

When he arrived at the hotel, Chuck's fatigue these days was suddenly cured. He only wanted to fall asleep against Willa.

"Chucky, go take a shower. You've been in the wild for a while now, so you need to shower and rest," Willa said.

"Okay," Chuck agreed. He felt sleepy, so he immediately headed for the bed after a hot shower.

He wrapped his arm around Willa's and refused to let go.

He had faced many challenges and suffered a great deal for the past few days. Willa's gentleness was the greatest cure for him, so he fell asleep quickly with her beside him.

Willa looked at him in silence. She didn't want to think about anything else. For now, she only wanted to look at Chuck.

As she stared at his face, she couldn't help herself. Leaning down, she gave him a quick peck.

"You took away my first kiss, so I'll... Ah!" Willa suddenly covered her mouth, her pretty face red with embarrassment.

Karen and Betty had entered the room.

Karen was frozen to the ground. She stammered, "Did you not lock the door? I only had to push and it immediately opened..."

Betty was also in shock. Did Willa really kiss Chuck? Did she see it wrongly?

"I... I..."

Willa was extremely embarrassed. Karen had seen her kissing Chuck!

She wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. For the first time ever, she felt that she couldn't bring herself to face Karen at all. "Willa, Chucky is asleep. Come out. I have something to tell you," Karen quickly regained her composure and asked in a more solemn tone.

"Ah? I... I..." Willa blushed, gently setting Chuck aside and covered him with a blanket.

She followed Karen out of the room.

Betty stayed behind to take care of Chuck. She was relieved when she finally saw him, heaving, "Young Master, it's good that you're still alive..."

"Chucky and I didn't do anything, really," Willa immediately tried to explain. She suddenly felt nervous.

Karen had seen her kissing him!

She suddenly had pang of guilt from doing something wrong. Lowering her head, she felt that she had nothing left in her to talk to Karen. It was the first time that she ever stuttered while speaking.

"Emn, Willa, don't be nervous. I would actually prefer it if you had a fling with him. Did you really not do anything to him?" Karen suddenly smiled.

"No, I really didn't," Willa bowed her head. She suddenly felt lost. She really did nothing with him. Apart from Chuck kissing her while not knowing who she was, nothing else had happened between them. However, didn't this indicate that there was really no chance at all for the two of them?
