My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 182

Chuck's embarrassment was evident. He could see Zelda's beautiful legs wrapped in silk leggings. He couldn't take his gaze away from it.

"Sister Zelda, did you wear this on purpose?" Chuck smiled bitterly.

Zelda chuckled, "Nope. Hop in the car. Are you scared? If you like it, you can touch it. I won't object."

Chuck felt vulnerable, and Zelda's smile faded. She chimed, "Don't be afraid, okay?"

Then, she took out a silk scarf from her bag to cover her legs and asked, "Is that all right?"

"Thank you, Sister Zelda," Chuck heaved a sigh of relief. Zelda was very considerate of his feelings.

"Why are you thanking me? You're the first person to see my legs, and I'm more than willing to let you see it," Zelda teased.

Chuck smiled wryly. His first impression of Zelda was that she was a bit cold. When he first met her, she gave Chuck an impression that he should not get close to her. Yet, now they were familiar with each other.

Chuck couldn't believe it happened. How could he have asked Zelda for help the first time he got in her car...

He shook off his unpleasant thoughts. He had married Yvette Jordan, and he refused to do anything to hurt her. After thinking of his wife, Chuck calmed down.

Zelda sighed, "You are so loyal to Yvette."

A hint of jealousy was apparent in her tone.

Chuck didn't have much belief in himself. He had cheated three times, twice with Zelda, and the other with Queenie Carson right in front of Yvette.

Chuck no longer wanted to think about it anymore. If Yvette learned what took place that night, what would happen to him? What he did with Zelda was fine, but with Queenie, it occurred just in front of Yvette inside her room. If she knew this, what would her expression be like?

Chuck prayed that Yvette would never find out about this matter.

The car was all of a sudden extremely quiet.

Zelda broke the awkward silence by asking Chuck where he was going. He told her the address, and she drove him to that location.

When they left, Chuck didn't notice Zabrina Yalden, who was inside the plaza filming. Coincidentally, she looked towards their direction and wondered, "This figure... Could it be Chuck?"

The guy seemed to be Chuck. It made her wonder why Chuck, an investor and the plaza owner's friend, didn't show up today.

She didn't consider it normal. Suddenly, Wilbur Wendel came over and said, "Are you done now?"

Zabrina nodded, "Okay, but just give me a while."

She had to change her outfit first. If not, there would be unnecessary disturbances. Her facemask and sunglasses were necessary to hide her identity.

Wilbur was delighted since it would be his first dinner with a famous star. To him, Zabrina was perfect. He thought if he could get her to be with him today, then maybe...

Wilbur was thrilled just thinking about it.

After a while, Zabrina came over fully-prepared.

The crew began to clean up before getting off work, so Zabrina and Wilbur went out to dinner. It was Zabrina's first time coming to the plaza, and she found its layout warm and unique. The plaza's friendly design was due to the systematic management of the place, plus having a competent manager with lots of ideas and visions.

Zabrina asked, "You put in a lot of effort into this plaza, haven't you?"

"Not much." Wilbur smiled and applauded Chuck secretly. Chuck had taken over the plaza for a short time, yet his effective management amazed Wilbur.

The more Zabrina looked around, the more she regarded the place excellent with a promising future. She didn't expect Wilbur, who sat opposite her, to be so capable. It was hard to believe that a young, nouveau riche businessman could be so full of promise. It was very rare to come by.

Wilbur was pleasantly surprised, and Zabrina's reaction gave him hope.

The two of them soon spotted a restaurant, and Wilbur started to chat away the minute they sat down. This was his chance to show off, so he tried his best to talk more about himself.

Zabrina felt odd listening to him. Why was Wilbur so skilled at managing the plaza, but he has only been talking of pleasure the entire time? Why wasn't he discussing more his projects and plans for the place?
