My Billionaire Mom (Chuck Cannon) novel Chapter 552

He had to accept the challenge merely because he was a man?

Regine sighed for the umpteenth time. Chuck didn't know how to fight, so how would he accept the challenge?

He wasn't that stupid to let Elise knock him down with one punch.

If that was the case, he would've never wanted to follow them to her relative's party. After all, it would be shameful to hear of a man being beaten up by a woman!

"Enough of that," Regine sighed.

Elise clicked her tongue, "When we arrive, I'll introduce you to a guy from the United States to let you know how a real man looks like."

This was her responsibility as a good friend. They were all women, and as friends, she wanted to introduce real men to Regine.

She had to know the truth.

Regine shrugged. There was no point trying to change Elise's mind now.

They arrived at the venue, which was a hotel. There were a lot of luxury cars in the parking lot. It seemed that Regine's relatives were as wealthy as her.

Chuck followed behind them. He looked back and found that Black Rose had driven in too, but did not get out of the car. She was simply observing the situation nearby.

She didn't care much. She could follow Chuck wherever he went.

Chuck gave Black Rose a call.

Black Rose frowned and answered, "What's the matter?"

"Let's go in together. There is food inside." Chuck said.

They were there for the food anyways.

"You don't have to bother about me. Just do whatever you want to do." Black Rose hung up the phone. A hamburger would do for her. Since a fast food outlet was nearby, she could just go there and grab it.

She had never eaten foreign food, but it was spicy and she didn't like it. Hamburgers and fries were still the best.

Chuck shrugged. He was probably overstepping his boundaries. She was hired by his mother to protect him, so maybe he would just leave her alone.

"Chuck, this way." Regine waved at him.

Chuck walked over to them. Since it was Regine's relative's birthday, shouldn't he prepare a gift? It wouldn't look good if he just walked in to eat, would it?

He walked over to Regine and told her about his concern. Regine shook her head and laughed, "I invited you over for a meal, not to present her some gifts. There's no need for that." Chuck was a little embarrassed. He decided to leave right after eating.

"Alright."

Chuck and Regine went in, but he found that Elise seemed a little unhappy with him. What was the reason? He hadn't offended her, had he?

She had a particularly good figure and was pretty curvaceous, having the youthful vigor of a beautiful girl from the United States. In a sense, she was similar to Regine since they were both younger than twenty years old, but Chuck didn't pay her much attention.

"Your friend doesn't like me, does she?" Chuck asked. Nothing happened between them, as far as he was concerned.

"No, it's fine. It's part of her nature," Regine hurriedly explained. She did not want Chuck and Elise to get into a fight.

With that, Chuck shrugged and dismissed it, "Oh, I guess I'm just overthinking it."

"Chuck, have you learned Taekwondo before?" Regine asked. It was likely that he had never learnt martial arts before judging by his body size. However, he was probably working out a lot.

"No, why should I learn that?"

Regine sighed. As expected, Chuck wasn't even familiar with fighting, not to mention being in actual combat. If he were to really fight with Elise just now, he would definitely be knocked down with a single punch.

Fortunately, she didn't translate whatever Elise said. Otherwise, Chuck would definitely be humiliated.

"I've been learning something else instead."

"Really?" Regine was pleasantly surprised. There was still hope. What did he learn? Karate?

"Yeah, I'm serious."

"What did you learn? Karate?"

"No. The first thing I learned was running, exercising and push- ups to improve my stamina..." Chuck talked about his daily training routine.

"Oh, that's it? Um, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, let's go in," Regine was disappointed. That was what he meant.

Wasn't this just normal exercises?

If that was true, Chuck was definitely no match to her friend.

"Okay." Chuck was a little hungry and wanted to go in to eat.

However, Chuck still thought that Elise who was walking in front of him had a perfect figure and long legs.

"No, I want to witness him take out the money. I hate people who try to hop on the bandwagon for free." The three girls stared at Chuck intensely.

Regine heaved a deep sigh and walked up to Chuck. She stammered, "Urn... Let's go in."

"Alright, I'm hungry too." Chuck said as he entered the room.

"Wait a minute!" Regine's two foreign friends walked over and stopped them.

Chuck was stunned. He asked, "What's the matter?"

"Wendy, Queenie, don't." Regine stopped them in a hurry.

"Why not? I don't care, I'm going to tell him off. Hey you, don't you know common courtesy? It's a birthday party, so why aren't you giving the person anything?" A black-haired girl shouted at him rudely.

Another beauty sneered, "Yes, why don't you present the person with something? Did you forget? If so, you're welcome for the reminder."

"Oh urn, I'm sorry, I didn't bring my wallet with me today." Chuck waved his hand awkwardly.

He only had his phone with him.

"Can you give me another reason? If you don't want to give anything, just say it. Why the excuse?"

Regine's two friends shot him disdainful looks. He had to be the kind of person who drove a luxury car yet did not even have a few hundred dollars on him.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Just go." Regine was annoyed.

She knew Chuck had the money, so he definitely did not bring his wallet. "I want to see how shameless he is to enjoy the food without paying a single cent. Hmph, let's go in first."

"Okay, I don't want to sit with him."

Everyone including Elise entered the room. Elise also shot him a scornful glance. With no guts and no money, was Regine really blind? It was fine since Elise was sure Regine would immediately dump Chuck once she introduced someone better to Regine. What was the use of having a useless boyfriend like him?

"Chuck, I'm sorry. My friends..." Regine apologized profusely.

"It's okay." It didn't matter to Chuck. Chuck wouldn't want to be angry on such a joyous day. He was the one who was at fault here.

He continued, "I'll call someone to bring some money here now."

"No need. Let's go in and eat." Regine said, shaking her head. Chuck shrugged. Since Regine was fine with it, he would just follow her inside for a meal.
