Chapter 683
Sophia felt helpless and said, "Don't hug me. When Elise comes in later, she will see us."
If Elise saw it, she would be too ashamed to face her own daughter!
The fact that her daughter found her with a man so much younger was enough to make her feel ashamed.
In addition, Sophia also knew that Elise had feelings for Chuck.
Sophia sighed. She was secretly panicking and struggling to balance her morals and her feelings.
Chuck shook his head and said, "It's fine if she sees us. What's the matter with that?"
It was not like him to do something and be afraid to acknowledge it.
Sooner or later, Elise would find out. If she knew it earlier, it would be better for her. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Please don't, Chuck. Please don't let Elise know," Sophia panicked.
She pleaded with Chuck.
After a moment of silence, he compromised and replied, "Well fine, I won't let her know, but I'll give you a chance to tell me before Elise returns. Who slapped you?"
"No, I don't want to mention it," Hearing this, Sophia was anxious. She did not want to drag Chuck down.
The Yeager family was a hidden family. No matter how powerful Chuck was, how could he be a match for the hidden family?
She would definitely cause Chuck trouble.
This was her own issue. Why should she get Chuck involved?
"Then you'll have to let Elise to see us like this," Chuck shrugged.
"No, Chuck. Please don't treat me like this," Sophia's tears rolled down her cheeks.
If her first boyfriend treated her like this, she would get angry immediately and would even ask him to leave!
However, when Chuck threatened her, Sophia was not pissed. How could she be angry with him? She could only plead with him since she really had feelings for him.
Sophia was anxious!
Chuck could not bear to see her like this, so he said, "Sophia, I'm here to help you. Trust me, you can tell me. I can hear footsteps. Elise is coming back soon."
Of course, Sophia heard that as well. She was nervous and desperate, "Chuck, I don't want to cause you trouble. Do you understand?"
"Do you love me? That's why you don't want to get me into trouble?" Chuck asked.
Sophia stared at Chuck in silence. Could it be that she really had fallen in love with Chuck?
She had experienced it before, but she was still confused. Did she really fall in love with Chuck?
Her thoughts wandered for a good three seconds. Soon, Sophia felt certain that she really liked Chuck.
Their little affair had brought them together and made the relationship between the two of them more obvious.
Otherwise, how could she allow Chuck to hug her like this?
Chuck was threatening her, yet she was not angry.
It must be love.
"I..." Sophia trailed off. How could she tell her his feelings? She felt abashed.
''Do you love me?" Chuck asked again.
Sophia slowly lowered her head and said in a voice so soft that it was barely audible, "Yes."
When Sophia gently nodded, she looked like a young girl who was experiencing her first love. There was no sense of discourse at all. She looked absolutely charming.
"Then tell me what happened. Elise is coming soon," Chuck suddenly said.
"Ah, no. It's Loomis Yeager..." Sophia was shocked and tried to wriggle out from his embrace.
She accidentally said Loomis' name and felt extremely regretful to see Chuck's reaction. He seemed angry and surprised, and his expression was dark and ominous
At this moment, Sophia felt very touched. Chuck's cold face and angry look told her that she finally had someone she could rely on.
In fact, she had been in charge of the Lawrence family for so many years. No matter how well she managed the family and no matter how strong she was, she was still a woman. There were times when she felt helpless and wanted a shoulder to cry on.
Chuck had given her a feeling that she had not experienced for a long time.
However, Sophia was scared. How could she say it aloud?
She couldn't tell him!
It would harm Chuck!
"Did Loomis slap you? Why would he do so?!" Chuck was furious. Loomis had the audacity to hit Sophia?
"No, I was wrong. It's not him," Sophia shook her head frantically.
"I heard it clearly. It was him. Trust me!" Chuck said with a serious look on his face.
When he asked her to trust him, she suddenly realized that the sense of security he provided her warmed her heart up.
She was completely immersed in it!
How many years had it been since she last felt like this?
She was in a daze and nodded, "Yes!"
Chuck wanted to hug her, but Elise returned with drinks for them.
Sophia quickly tidied up her clothes. Chuck held her in his arms and her clothes were all wrinkled.
"Drink this. I took it from my room. It's spring water." Chuck took a few sips. It felt sweet. Elise was really nice to him to actually grab the water from her room.
"Do you like it?"
"Yep."
"I still have a lot of them in my room. I'll bring you a few bottles later," Elise offered. Her room was big and there were all kinds of things in it. The spring water that she brought him could help in detoxifying one's body. That was why she bought a lot of them and stored them in her room.
"No, I'm just thirsty," Chuck shook his head and declined the offer. He didn't have particular requirements for drinking water as long as it was clean. Spring water looked expensive, so there was no need for it.
"Alright."
Elis was disappointed but curious. Why were her mother's eyes red-rimmed again?
"Morn, what's wrong?" Elise asked with concern.
"Nothing. I'm fine," Sophia shook her head.
"When will he come over?" Chuck asked.
"Five days later," Sophia replied in a daze. Upon saying it, she regretted it right away.
"Okay, then I'll be here earlier," Chuck shrugged.
Loomis was definitely looking for death. He actually dared to slap Sophia and even threaten her.
He was angry now. Someone like Sophia didn't even dare to talk about it, but it just went to show how aggrieved she was about the matter.
If Elise was not around, Chuck would really comfort her.
"Do-don't come over," Sophia refused, her eyes were red.
'TH be here. Don't worry, trust me!" Chuck looked at Sophia for the last time and turned to leave.
Sophia wanted to chase after him. She didn't want Chuck to face Loomis at all!
"Morn, I'm sending Chuck off," Seeing as Chuck was leaving, Elise went after him.
Sophia wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. She sighed and deeply regretted whatever she just blurted out. Why did she say it?
"Chuck, who on earth slapped my morn?" Elise, who chased after Chuck, pulled him over and asked.
She was really annoyed. She had never seen Sophia in that state before as far as she could remember.
It seemed like Sophia had been forced to a dead end.
"You'll find out in five days," Chuck didn't explain anything else as he got into the car.
As he drove away, Black Rose, who had been waiting for him, also tailed after him.
Elise was left dumbfounded.
"Why did morn tell him but me? Why?" Elise was at a loss. She did not understand.
She was supposed to be the one closest to Sophia, wasn't she?
However, Sophia didn't say anything to her. On the contrary, she told Chuck what had happened when Elise stepped away to get them drinks.
When Elise returned, Sophia's beautiful eyes were still red, looking confused and regretful. She thought that she had doomed Chuck for sure this time.
"Morn? Morn!" Elise shouted upon noticing her mother still zoned out.
Hearing her daughter's voice, Sophia came back to her senses and asked, "Elise? What's wrong?"
"What did Chuck say to you just now?" Elise was serious.
"Nothing!!" Sophia immediately shook her head. How could she let Elise know about it?
If Elise found out, Sophia wouldn't know how to face her daughter anymore.
"What?! Why did you tell Chuck but not me?"
"I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried."
"Then why did you tell Chuck?" Elise demanded angrily.
"Stop it. Go back to your room," Sophia shook her head. If this continued, she would definitely give herself away.
"Tell me, who on earth was it?" Elise was close to tears. She felt that it was unfair for her mother!
Elise suddenly couldn't help at all. She felt that she was very useless.
Looking at Elise's face, Sophia sighed and finally said, "It's the Yeager family, one of the hidden families."
"What?" Elise was astonished.
Her jaw almost dropped to the ground. As Sophia's only daughter, she definitely knew about it. Now, she finally understood why her mother could do nothing about it. It turned out that it was because they were dealing with someone from the hidden family!
But why would they suddenly make a move now?
"Morn, tell me. What happened?" Elise was so worried that she was crying.
Did the Lawrence family offend someone from a hidden family?
Since Elise persisted, Sophia had to tell her the whole story. After hearing what her mother had to say, Elise was furious and shouted, "How can they act like that? Why did they need to hit people?"
Elise was so angry that she almost lost her temper.
Sophia sighed and said, "I have really doomed Chuck..."
Elise was startled and probed, "Morn, why do I feel that there is something strange between you and Chuck?"
