Willa smiled, "You are willing to let me stay by your side?"
"Yes, of course." When Chuck saw Willa's expression, he felt much better as her smile was the kind that could elevate one's mood instantly.
During this period, Chuck was worried about Yvette's disappearance and was constantly in a bad mood. It was Willa who had been accompanying him all this time. There was one night where he had completely lost it, and Willa was there to comfort him for the whole night. It eventually made him feel better, and he had fallen asleep on her lap.
However, Chuck felt that he was being too selfish. Willa's home was in Central City, if he asked her to stay, wouldn't it be equivalent to asking her to move over?
"Let me think about it," Willa said as her gentle smile remained.
"There's no need to stay, Auntie Logan. When I miss you, I'll go to Central City to find you," Chuck said.
"Why?" She asked.
Chuck explained, "Auntie Logan, I know that you're willing to stay, but your home is in Central City. How can I ask you to stay here?"
Willa chuckled, "It's okay. I can move my home."
She had stayed in Central City for far too long. She thought that she could actually move out and go somewhere else. For instance, it was not a bad idea to move to Chuck's place. By then, they could at least go out and wander around sometimes.
Having said that, did it mean that Willa agreed?
Chuck was pleasantly surprised, but he maintained, "Auntie Logan, it's too selfish of me to ask you of this."
"No, Chucky, you are just an innocent child," Willa shook her head and said.
Chuck was embarrassed to hear that. He had dreamed about Willa and him making out before. However, recently, he felt that he could not think in such a way. It was blasphemy. Willa was noble and selfless towards him, it was not right for him to have such dirty thoughts.
"Auntie Logan, I think it's better for me to go and find you at Central City instead," Chuck was particularly serious when he said that.
Willa smiled, "Fine, I'll listen to you."
Chuck thought that Auntie Logan must be feeling exhausted, thus, he suggested that she should take a good rest at his mother's hotel. Willa said instinctively, "Is there someone at your house?"
Upon hearing the question, Chuck paused. Did she want to stay at his house? Was she used to it already? Chuck then replied, "No, there's no one there."
"Then, can I stay at your house?" Willa asked.
Needless to say, Chuck had no problem with that. Willa smiled and said, "Let's go then."
Chuck's car was at the car park, so he drove home with Willa. On the way home, she received a phone call. Chuck noticed that Willa's expression fell after answering it. Did something happen? Chuck was worried.
He was uncertain about how Willa had dealt with Master Harry the last time.
Chuck didn't ask further. When they got home, Willa went straight into the house. She sat down for a while and then got up, saying, "Chucky, I have to go back to Central City tonight."
"Auntie Logan, did something happen there?" Chuck asked worriedly. His mother had gone to the United States for so long, and she had not returned. At the same time, was Auntie Logan faced with challenges too?
"Yes, Chucky, you should go get some rest," Willa said gently and headed out. Chuck was reluctant for her to leave, he chased after her until the door and hugged Willa. Willa was stunned, then she smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be back again. Take a rest."
Chuck was reluctant to part ways with her. In fact, while he was hugging Willa, he could see her cheek. He wondered how Willa would react if he kissed her.
Of course, Chuck did not dare do so.
After that, Chuck offered to drive Auntie Logan to the airport, but she said that she had already booked a driver and the aircraft was waiting for her already. It seemed like she was in a hurry. Otherwise, she would not have gone back at such an hour.
Chuck felt disappointed, "Auntie Logan, I'll look for you in Central City some other time."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Rest early," Willa smiled, went downstairs and left.
Willa's scent lingered in Chuck's embrace and the smell was very pleasant.
Willa went downstairs and got into the car. She took out her mobile phone and looked at a photo from the surveillance camera. It was Yvette...
"What are you doing in Central City?" Willa thought helplessly. She didn't say anything about it as she had to first see what Yvette was up to.
Chuck slept soundly that night. Early the next morning, Chuck drove to Yvette's rented place. As he was very early. Susan opened the door in a daze, still in her pajamas.
