Chapter 670
Chapter 670
"Dad, do you want me to marry into the Whitlock family?" Chuck had been holding himself back for a long time. He really did not expect his father to say something like this to him upon their first meeting.
Chuck had his own opinions. It was impossible for him to willingly marry into a family.
Even when he was poor back then, Chuck had no thoughts of doing something like this. Now that he was rich, he was even more reluctant to do so.
"Well, you can put it that way," Chadrick nodded.
Confused, Chuck asked, "Dad, why did you ask me to do this?"
"You haven't really been exposed to the strength of the hidden families, so you're not afraid!" Chadrick said with a heavy tone.
The three hidden families had already divided the world into three parts. The Whitlock family was the most powerful family amongst the hidden families. In fact, it was also the actual first family to appear in history!
"I..." Chuck couldn't refute what his father said. Indeed, he hadn't truly come into contact with that yet.
After saving Adriana in the first place, she had mentioned to him the existence of the hidden families. That was the first time ever hearing of them.
Later on, he slowly began to gain contact with the hidden families, but so far, he had only managed to meet their members.
As for the last time when he caused a big uproar in the Yeager family, it was done by accident.
If Adriana hadn't brought him along, he would not have the chance to attend the wedding banquet, let alone the news of Willa and Loomis' wedding.
If that didn't happen, he wouldn't have made a commotion there.
In addition, the only reason he was able to make such a large fuss back at the wedding was that he had the bomb given to him by Alexandrina!
Otherwise, Chuck would have been captured by the 10 bodyguards present back then!
Chuck was aware that he only managed to escape because of sheer luck. Without a bomb, Chuck would have already died in the Yeager family.
In other words, he had yet to understand the true strength of the Yeager family.
"The Yeager family is ranked way below the Whitlock family. If they attack you, Karen won't be able to protect you. So, you have to find a way yourself!" Chadrick looked at Chuck with a serious expression.
Chuck fell speechless.
His father's words were true. He had not even seen the true strength of the Yeager family, so how sure was he that his mother would be able to resist them?
Mainly, he was still too weak. If things went on like this, he would only drag his mother down. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Chuck felt guilty.
"Think about it. If you get married to Adriana and seize the opportunity to control the Whitlock family, you will be the richest man in the world!" Chadrick continued persuading his son.
"But..." Chuck was in a dilemma. What was the difference between his father's suggestion and living off a woman for the rest of his life?
Chuck really couldn't do it. In addition, even if he married Adriana, would it be possible for an outsider like him to take control of the Whitlock family?
It was impossible for him to do that!
"Think about it carefully," Chadrick no longer forced him.
He had already thought about this for a long time. Among the three hidden families, he was the weakest descendant of them all. He was aware now of the true powers behind each hidden family. The Yeager family was the most dangerous of all three.
In his opinion, it was best for Chuck to rely on Adriana at this stage.
Chuck lapsed into silence.
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and admitted, "I really can't do it, dad..."
First of all, Chuck despised women like Adriana, who were overly possessive and manipulative. He was attracted to gentle and kind women, like Willa and Yvette.
Adriana was too aggressive. Wouldn't he be tortured endlessly after he got married to her?
Chuck was not a masochist.
Moreover, Chuck would never abandon Yvette!
Yvette must've constantly been under great pressure to be together with him. Karen had murdered Yvette's father, yet she had never taken revenge on him. On the contrary, she listened to his every word and was extremely caring towards him.
How could he have the heart to abandon her?
Chuck couldn't do it!
"It's up to you," Chadrick was silent for a while and did not say anything else.
He didn't want to force Chuck either, but he was glad to see Chuck. After all, Chuck had improved a lot in just half a year. Chadrick was very satisfied with his rapid progress!
Chuck sighed and said, "Dad, I..."
"It's fine. You can go back and think about it," Chadrick shook his head and patted Chuck's shoulder. His gaze was shining with a hint of expectation.
"Okay. Then I'll leave first," Chuck wanted to go back. He didn't really want to think about this matter further.
"Go ahead. Black Rose is still waiting for you. By the way, don't tell your mother about this!" Chadrick reminded his son.
Chuck nodded. Without staying any longer, he walked out absent-mindedly. 10 minutes later, Karen arrived. Chadrick had already left.
Seeing the empty house, she could only sigh.
"What the hell are you trying to do?"
Karen couldn't do anything about this.
She couldn't figure out what Chadrick was trying to do. She remained silent for a few seconds and left.
When Black Rose saw Chuck, a look of relief appeared on her face.
She didn't say a word to him. In truth, she wanted to ask what Chuck had said to his father.
However, how could she ask him that?
She didn't want to overstep her boundaries and act like she was worried about him.
Black Rose, worried about Chuck?
Hah!
What a joke! Why would she care about him? She was paid to do her job.
Chuck had just invited her out for a meal and offered her some cakes. That's all. Why would she care about such a person?
Why should she be concerned about him?
Thinking of this, Black Rose shook her head.
Then, she left with Chuck.
On the other hand, Chuck was left distraught by his father's words. Adriana Whitlock?
Chuck didn't even want to see her. How could he marry her?
He sighed. Not long after, Chuck arrived at his destination, Alexandria's place.
Black Rose waited outside as usual. However, she clearly remembered that when Chuck and Alexandrina went out last time, Chuck had kissed Alexandrina in front of her family!
The memories were still fresh in her mind.
She hated such acts instinctively.
Black Rose simply closed her eyes and refused to think of that. She didn't want to see such a scene anymore. However, she suddenly opened her eyes again and scanned her surroundings vigilantly.
What if something happened to Chuck?
In the meantime, Chuck entered Alexandrina's private room.
He had planned to come here to thank her. However, Chuck was in a bad mood now, so he sat down and drank a glass of red wine.
"What are you doing? This is mine," Alexandrina hissed, trying to take back the glass in Chuck's hand.
Chuck could only sigh.
"Chuck, what's wrong with you? Is there something going on? Or did someone bully you? Tell me, I will help you get back at them," Alexandrina looked very serious.
She had been feeling down for the past few days as Chuck did not come to visit her.
Fortunately, he had decided to pay her a visit today. In fact, she felt surprised and happy. Chuck had taken a sip from her wine glass, so didn't that count as an indirect kiss?
Alexandrina had been thinking about this ever since she had kissed Chuck at her house last time.
"Nothing," Chuck replied as he shook his head. He felt powerless.
If his mother really couldn't deal with the Yeager family, then he would have no choice but to marry Adriana.
After all, he couldn't bring trouble to his mother, Yvette, Willa and also his father.
"What? Why are you so unhappy then? You're my lover," Alexandrina insisted.
Her heart ached when she looked at Chuck's sorry state.
"Tell me, what's the matter? You can tell me. Or, do you still not trust me?" Alexandrina questioned him.
She believed that he would trust her.
"Tell me! This is an order! You have to listen to me," Alexandrina glared at Chuck.
"Fine," Chuck wanted to ask for her opinion anyway, "If you're asked to marry someone for the sake of saving your family, will you be willing to do so?"
Upon hearing this, Alexandrina was taken aback. A moment of silence later, she asked, "Do I like this person?"
"You don't."
"Then I won't get married."
"But if you don't, your family will be in danger."
"I will protect them, Chuck. I decided that I'll only marry you. Will you dare to do so too?" Alexandrina smiled charmingly.
However, as soon as she said that, she fell silent.
She knew that he certainly wouldn't dare to.
"I'm afraid to," Chuck shook his head.
Besides, this woman was just teasing him. How could she really fall in love with him? It was impossible.
"I knew it... Actually, even if you dared, I wouldn't agree to it either," Alexandrina said slowly in a low voice.
"Why? Are you afraid too?" Chuck paused. Was there anything that Adriana was afraid of?
"Of course! How could I marry you? First of all, your mother will definitely not agree to it. Secondly, you are still young and I am way older than you. You are in your prime age, but I am slowly growing older. Of course, I wouldn't dare to!" Alexandrina replied softly.
