Chapter 686
Chapter 686
Sophia was indeed very touched that day.
Chuck gave her hope. He beat Loomis up and protected her.
Sophia therefore decided that she would only make the explosives exclusively for Chuck. He deserved to have it, and he alone would be able to get it from her. As long as he asked, she would give it to him. No one else could do so.
Sophia had given him a few bombs previously, and she was already giving them to him again. Chuck kept it without hesitation and said, "Thank you."
"Don't be so polite. I'm willing to do this. In fact, I'm willing to do anything for you," Sophia said softly.
"Don't feel stressed. I won't need anything from you. Just don't hide anything from me," Sophia looked at Chuck.
She felt guilty and couldn't look straight into Chuck's eyes. After all, he was too young.
"Alright, I won't hide anything from you," Chuck shook his head and promised her.
He already understood that he had to take responsibility for his own matters.
He could no longer treat Sophia like he did with Quinn back then.
In fact, Sophia was a pitiful woman.
Chuck understood she was tired and stressed out. She had to take charge of such a huge family. The responsibility was so heavy and the pressure was great since she had to avoid being devoured by other families.
It was already very difficult for her. He felt happy that he was the one to open her heart.
"Thank you,” Sophia let out a sigh of relief. If Chuck avoided her, she would be heartbroken.
"Aren't you tired managing such a big family?" Chuck asked.
"I am. Do you want to help me?"
"Urn, how am I supposed to help?" Chuck shrugged. If he helped her, he would be interfering with the affairs of the Lawrence family. Her other family members would definitely be against it.
"It doesn't matter, you can help however you want to," Sophia said gently.
"Aren't you afraid that I will take over your family?" Chuck joked around.
Of course, he wouldn't do that.
There was no reason for him to do so. Furthermore, he even had a relationship with her.
"No worries. The Lawrence family has been passed down to me for some time now. Although I am unable to change the fact that it will always be the Lawrence family..." Sophia stopped and lowered her head.
"What?" Chuck was curious.
"Whatever is mine is yours," Sophia could not bring herself to say it. She did not realize that she accidentally said it out loud.
Maybe it was the wave of emotions that she had been feeling that day, or the fact that her attitude had done a 180 degree change. It was as though she was experiencing her first love all over again.
"Oh, I understand," Chuck finally understood what she meant. She was hinting him that he could become the boss behind the Lawrence family!
It was a bit out of his expectation!
It was an interesting idea, but he couldn't do it. If that happened, Sophia would become the sinner of her family.
"It's good that you understand. Although you won't be short of money, you can ask me when you need more. I'll give you lots of money," Sophia offered.
"How much do you mean?"
"A lot. I'll give you all I have," Sophia replied seriously.
Chuck was silent for a moment. A woman like Sophia was really amazing.
All of a sudden, he felt a bit reluctant to leave.
It felt like the air between them was frozen.
Sophia lowered her head and muttered, "Chuck, don't you regret being with me back then?"
Chuck didn't respond.
Sophia raised her head. Her beautiful gaze was filled with disappointment, "You regret it, right? I'm really sorry..."
"No, I don't," Chuck shrugged.
"Really?" Sophia's voice was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes," When Chuck nodded, he suddenly heard Elise's voice that said, "Morn..."
Sophia let go of Chuck and kept a distance away from him. However, she said, "Chuck, don't let Elise know about what happened between us."
"Okay," Of course, Chuck would not tell Elise about it.
When Elise came in and saw that her morn was looking fine, she was shocked. She had been locked up in her room by her mother. It was not easy for her to escape, but she was still worried about her morn.
Thankfully, nothing seemed to have happened. Elise was so glad that she burst into tears!
She gave Sophia a big hug.
Sophia comforted her lovely daughter. She patted Elise on her back while looking at Chuck.
"I'm leaving," Chuck mouthed silently.
Sophia nodded reluctantly.
After Chuck left, Elise asked for more details. There was nothing to hide, so Sophia told her the whole story. Elise was dumbfounded.
"How did Chuck do it?" Elise widened her eyes and asked. How did he manage to get hold of Loomis' weakness?
"I'm not sure," Sophia replied. Of course, she did not know about it, but from that day onwards, she knew that the man whom she loved... Was a real man!!
Although Chuck was young, he could protect her.
She could feel the warmth in her heart.
"Morn, Chuck has helped us a lot. We should thank him," Elise said sincerely.
If Chuck wasn't there, the situation would be completely different.
"Yes, I will. I'll give him whatever he wants from now on..." Sophia lowered her head and blushed. She didn't know if whatever they did last time could be considered her way of saying thanks.
It probably wasn't. After all, she had taken advantage of him. What sort of thanks was that?
"Morn, don't do that. What if he wants me to sleep with him?" Elise lowered her head and whispered.
Sophia was startled upon hearing this...
When Chuck came out of the Lawrence family mansion and saw Black Rose, he walked over and said, "You did a good job just now."
"I don't need you to praise me," Black Rose replied coldly.
Chuck was speechless, "Can't you talk normally?"
"No!" Black Rose hissed.
It was better for him to just go home. He got into the car and drove home, with Black Rose following behind him after snorting gently.
When they arrived, Karen asked Chuck to meet her at the office.
Willa and Betty were all there, while Yvette was out.
Willa looked at Chuck tenderly. Since their drunken affair at Patricia's house previously, her gaze was plastered on him all this while, unable to move away.
She didn't regret what had happened with Chuck at all. However, he didn't know anything about it. Hence, all she wanted to do was to observe him silently. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Chuck felt her gaze and smiled at her.
She immediately felt her heart warm up. Chucky...
The meeting then started.
The main discussion in the meeting was how to take control of Loomis, something that Karen had brought up previously. Chuck was pretty amazed at what his mother said.
Willa was the first to say, "Does Loomis have such strength?"
Chuck looked at his mother.
Karen said, "No, he doesn't."
"Then why are we helping him become the head of the Yeager family?" Willa asked.
That was right!
Karen's intention was to make Loomis the head of the Yeager family!
After Chuck heard the suggestion, he was particularly surprised.
"Yes, if Loomis really became the head of the Yeager family, it would be great. It would be even easier to deal with them. If he can't, it would also damage the Yeager family badly. Regardless of whether he succeeds, it will be of much benefit to us," Karen explained.
Chuck understood his mother's suggestion.
There were a lot of benefits. Since they were helping Loomis to take over the position as the head of family, he would definitely go all out to succeed. In order to get rid of Chuck's dirt on him, Loomis could only give it his all to become the head of the family. Once he succeeded, Chuck would not be able to blackmail him anymore.
Everyone was clear.
Wasn't it good for Loomis to mess up the Yeager family right now?
In a sense, they were going to encourage the Loomis' family's infighting.
Willa understood it too.
Chuck asked, "How can we help?"
That was also a problem. If they secretly supported Loomis, he would be aware that they were using him. However, to avoid being blackmailed, Loomis wouldn't resist them.
However, there was still a need to explain in detail how they would do so.
"Well..." Karen grinned.
Chuck, Willa and Betty listened to Karen carefully...
Loomis glared at his reflection in the mirror angrily. He had been beaten up the previous day and his face was still swollen. Furthermore, Chuck had not called him yet. What exactly did Chuck want him to do?
Amongst his sinister thoughts, his cell phone suddenly rang. He glared at it and picked up the call.
"Hey!"
"Oh, you're up so early?" Over the call, Chuck could be heard laughing.
Loomis was furious and gritted his teeth, "Chuck Cannon, what do you want me to do?"
"I'll make you better."
"Make me better? Chuck, do you think that I'm a three-year-old?" Loomis was furious.
"Whatever. Let me ask you a question now. Do you want to be the head of the Yeager family?"
Loomis narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by that?
"You should understand. What I want you to do is to make you the head of your family. How does that sound? I'm being nice, aren't I?"
Loomis' eyes lit up as he sneered silently. Moments later, he said, "Oh, you want me to be the head of the Yeager family? Are you capable of doing so?"
