My Billionaire Mom (Chuck Cannon) novel Chapter 656

Bang!

Sophia slapped Chuck's face in a fit of rage as she bellowed, "What are you doing?!"

Chuck was speechless. The hand he had used to hold her hung motionless in the air as he sputtered, "I was helping you!"

He couldn't believe that she had slapped him! He felt both annoyed and helpless. After all, it wasn't like he could slap her back.

All in all, she had a pretty face. If he did slap her, there would be an ugly red print on it.

He could not help but feel disappointed.

Sophia must not know how to appreciate someone's kindness.

It annoyed him greatly.

"Did I ask for your help?!" Sophia yelled.

"Fine then!" Chuck let out a frustrated noise and pushed her a little, making her fall to the ground. Aching, she shouted, "Chuck! You jerk!"

"You said you didn't need my help," Chuck shrugged and said.

"Get the hell out of here!" Sophia growled out in anger as she struggled to get on her feet.

"Sophia, I was honestly just trying to help you out! I can't believe you slapped me for being nice! I didn't touch you anywhere inappropriate, did I? I was only holding onto your waist to keep you upright! Did you have to slap me for that?!" Chuck explained his displeasure.

"I..." Sophia couldn't get another word out after that.

What he said was true after all. Chuck had only been helping her and had unintentionally touched her in the process. He had been honest, like a real gentleman.

"You should apologize to me," Chuck said.

"I... No! Just get out of here," Sophia said softly without making any eye contact.

She had just slapped a kind-hearted gentleman who had given her a hand. She was already humiliated enough as it is...

"Sophia, I won't go until you apologize!" Chuck straightened his shoulders as he cupped his cheek, looking quite aggrieved. The slap really did hurt.

"I... I'm sorry, okay?!" Sophia eventually gave in and spat out in anger.

After all, Chuck had pushed her as well! If apologies were being circulated, she thought she deserved one too.

Hearing this, Chuck smiled and said, "I have to give it to you, I really do admire your principles. Not only do you keep your word, but you're willing to admit when you're at fault as well."

He was reminded of the last time he saw her. Her face had been as pale as death. He knew without a doubt that if he had asked to have her right there and then, she would've kept her promise.

He wondered what it would've been like if he had asked that of her.

However, he had no such thoughts at that time, so it didn't matter much anymore.

"I don't need your praise," Sophia said coldly.

"Does it hurt a lot?" Chuck asked in concern.

"It's none of your business! Why don't you just get lost?!" Sophia scolded.

"Well, alright then. Since you've apologised to me, I'll return the favour. I'm sorry as well. I shouldn't have pushed you," Chuck said sincerely.

"Whatever, it's long forgotten now. You should probably leave now, don't come back if you can help it! I'll get someone to send the bombs to you once they're done," Sophia replied in an impatient tone.

"Oh, but won't you miss me...?" Chuck joked.

"Shut up! Are you done with your nonsense?!" Sophia chided.

"Right then. I'll be taking off now."

Chuck shrugged as he walked out. However, he made a sudden pause and turned back to her, as if he had just something more to say. Frowning, Sophia asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"You’re wearing a dress today," Chuck stated.

"What's it to you?! Are you...?" She sputtered angrily, lifting her hand up to land another slap on his face.

However, Chuck saw it coming and so, he successfully grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"Come on, I was just joking," Chuck shook his head and said.

"Let go of me!" Sophia yelled.

Chuck merely smiled.

"It hurts, let go! Are you for real? I can easily send someone in to kill you right here, you know?!" Sophia threatened. Her wrist was aching from the strong grasp.

"It doesn't matter. My mother will definitely come looking for you if she finds me dead," Chuck said nonchalantly.

"Then... I'll tell Karen about what you did to me! She'll break your legs once she finds out!" Sophia sneered.

Frightened by the elevated threat, Chuck let go of her quickly, "Don't tell her!"

"If you don't want me to do that, leave now!" Sophia glared at him as she spat.

Dejected, Chuck walked out of the room at that.

After he finally left, Sophia muttered to herself, annoyed, "How gullible! As if I would let Karen know that her son had teased me like that... My pride would be shattered!"

She would rather die than to admit to it in front of Karen.

Her body still ached from the fall just now.

It was difficult for her to even sit upright at the moment.

"I had to run some errands," Chuck replied.

"I see. Are you hungry? I can make something if you're up for some food," Yvette offered.

Chuck smiled and nodded in kind.

As such, Yvette headed to the kitchen to prepare some food. Chuck took this as an opportunity to check in on Willa. When he heard some shuffling in her room, he realised that she had already woken up. He knocked on the door lightly before he entered.

Willa still looked very pale at that moment. However, she felt much better and well-rested than before.

Seeing that she was up and about, he let out a sigh of relief, "Auntie Logan."

"Chucky," Willa smiled gently. She had been trying to get out of bed to walk around a little.

Chuck quickly walked over to support her, "How are you feeling?"

"I feel fine," Willa answered. She honestly felt much better than before, but her head still hurt. However, she knew that the pain was relatively unavoidable.

She was now more or less up to date with the current situation as well.

They had to face off both the Yeager family and Adriana Whitlock from the Whitlock family!

In other words, the two hidden families.

Willa knew that at this moment in time, she had to recover as soon as possible to be of any use.

"That sounds great. Oh, by the way, I seem to recall that you had something to tell me when we were with the Yeager family, didn't you? What was it that you wanted to tell me?" Chuck asked, curious.

He couldn't figure out what it was that Willa had wanted to say to him.

He thought she was going to tell him her last words.

It was a huge possibility that that was the case. Maybe she had wanted to bestow him with all of her inheritance.

At that time, Willa must have thought that she was going to die. She must have been trying to impart her will to him before her death.

At least, that was how Chuck understood it.

However, little did he know that Willa had a different idea altogether.

Chuck's inquiry made Willa flush a little, rendering her a little speechless.

She had wanted to confess to him at that time because she was under the impression that she would be dead by the end of the day. She needed Chuck to know that she loved him.

However, now that they had made it out alive, she could not get the words out of her mouth.

"Auntie Logan, what is it? You can tell me..." Chuck stared at Willa expectantly, an eager glint in his eyes.
