"Honey, stop eating. Let's start." Chuck Cannon picked Yvette Jordan up and walked to the sofa.
Yvette was nervous and her heart starting thumping. She had been preparing for this for more than ten years. Today, she was going to give it to Chuck.
"Hubby, I don't know much, but I found some information online. Please don't judge me, I'm trying my best..." Yvette said in a low voice. She wasn't proficient in these matters. Her best friend, Susan Sun, was the one who had told her about it last time...
She was surprised at that time.
Chuck thought of other ways to educate her. With her character, she must have never seen that kind of movie before.
Forget it. She did say that she had done her own research.
"Honey, I'll just find a movie to watch," Chuck said. She probably didn't know anything about it. When they were younger, Yvette vowed to change her fate. Hence, she had always focused on her studies when she was in school and did not waste any time on anything else. She was never exposed to all these things.
"A movie? Wouldn't it distract us?" Yvette did not know what Chuck was thinking. She thought Chuck wanted to watch a normal movie.
Chuck placed her on the sofa and sat down beside her. He took her hand and smiled slightly. His wife was too innocent. He told himself that he couldn't let her down.
"Hubby... you should lie down." Yvette calmed herself down. She had slept beside him for so many years. There was nothing to be shy about.
Of course, Chuck would do as she said. But...
Ding, ding...
Yvette's cell phone suddenly rang. She snapped out of her nervousness. She took a look at her phone and didn't want to answer it. Today was a big day.
"Hubby, I won't answer the phone." She shook her head.
Chuck smiled. She would usually pick up calls in the middle of the night for the sake of the company. However, it seemed like she was finally ready tonight.
The phone rang again. Chuck was surprised. Was someone looking for Yvette about an emergency? Anyway, it wouldn't be a big deal to answer a call. It wouldn't take too much time.
"Honey, you should answer the phone first," Chuck said.
"Okay, hubby, wait a minute. I'll answer the phone." Yvette walked to her bag and took out her mobile phone. She saw that the call was from her good friend from Central City, Susan Sun. She was puzzled. She quickly answered the phone.
Chuck took a deep breath and relaxed himself. "There's no need to be nervous with your own wife!" He told himself.
Chuck comforted himself. However, Yvette returned with an apologetic look on her face. "Hubby, I'm sorry. Susan's company is in trouble. She has a lot of debts and now she's at the bus station. I'm going to pick her up now..."
"What?" Chuck's eyes widened.
Yvette had no choice. Susan was crying on the phone. She said that she had offended someone. Her company had gone bankrupt, and she still had a debt of millions of dollars. She had no choice but to hide here.
Yvette was very grateful for Susan's hospitality in the Central City, so she couldn't refuse.
She walked towards Chuck and kissed him. "Hubby, I'm sorry. I can't do anything about it. She's scared. I have to pick her up. Something might happen to her. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
