The room was pin-drop silent for a few seconds. Chuck Cannon wanted to explain to end the awkward atmosphere, but Yvette Jordan sighed and said, "You guys enjoy yourself. I'm going back..."
She felt depressed. Zelda Maine was living here, and she had just gotten home. What was the point for her to continue staying here?
While she was walking out, Chuck chased after her anxiously. Zelda, who was standing at the door, shook her head and smiled bitterly after a moment of silence.
"Did I come at the wrong time? But I didn't mean it, I came to help you, but..." Zelda thought to herself sadly.
Zelda felt empty. As soon as Yvette left, Chuck chased after her just like the time when he was in the parking lot...
"Yvette, this house..." Chuck followed her out. However, Yvette had already pressed the elevator button and the elevator was slowly coming up.
"Stop. Go in and have a good chat with her. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go back," Yvette said. There was no hint of blame, but only disappointment in her tone.
Chuck said helplessly, "Yvette."
"Go back, I'll go down by myself. I'm going to Central City tomorrow..." said Yvette.
Yvette said that the people who she called this afternoon were as famous as Darrel Mate.
One of them was Yvette's classmate, an employee of a training company whom she saw in the college group chat. This classmate invited Yvette to her company in Central City so that they could exchange ideas.
She was hesitant at first, but today... just now... she didn't know why but she felt like she wanted to go for a trip suddenly.
"You are going to Central City?" Chuck was surprised. Why would she go to Central City?
"Yes, I want to make money!" Yvette said.
Was it for the company? It should be. Chuck was in Yvette's company for the whole afternoon and he saw that Yvette was always on the phone. She was really diligent.
"If you want money, I can give it to you. How much do you need?" Chuck asked.
"I don't want your money, don't..."
Yvette shook her head while feeling a little touched, but... she did not speak what was on her mind: "Your money is from Zelda. I don't want it... "
"It's my money," Chuck emphasized that, as he thought Yvette misunderstood him again.
Yvette was moved. Did he plan to give her the money he earned from his part-time job?
"Save the money. Don't waste it." thought Yvette.
"I don't want it either. Keep it for yourself." Yvette shook her head.
Chuck did not know what to do anymore.
"I will come back after three days. You should study hard these days because your exam is coming soon." Yvette became serious speaking of this.
Chuck nodded but said with a sad smile, "I may not be able to pass."
His grades had not been good since the beginning, and now it was useless for him to study in such a short period of time.
"This was your own fault." Yvette was angry at the mention of this matter. How many times did Chuck skip class during this period? Was he with Zelda the whole time?
Spending time with her instead of going to school?
The elevator door opened and Yvette walked in. Chuck also wanted to go in but Yvette shook her head and said, "It's okay, you can go back. I can go back by myself. I didn't even drink alcohol. Remember, you must pass the test!"
The elevator door closed, and Yvette went downstairs. After she left the community, she sat in the car, sighed...
"Did I miss something?" she thought.
Yvette suddenly felt that the person who belonged to her for more than ten years had become someone else's. Although they did nothing special, they had still slept together on the same bed for so many years...
After all, Chuck used to call her his wife, but, but...
Yvette was conflicted and helpless. Her gaze became firm. "I want to make money! I'll become as rich as Zelda!"
......
When Chuck returned to his house, Zelda coincidentally came out from Chuck's house. Their eyes met and Chuck was embarrassed.
"Do you want to do it now?" Zelda asked.
Chuck, of course, understood what she meant. Zelda had said during the day that she would help him in the evening. Chuck did not forget just because he was embarrassed at the moment.
