My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 583

"I'm fine."

Adriana shook her head. The awkward expression on Chuck's face could not have been faked, and on top of that, she couldn't care less anymore. After all, he had already touched her in the middle of his sleep the night before.

"Why haven't your men arrived?" Chuck was speechless. Was this woman really a member of a secret family?

It had already been two days, yet no one was here.

"There's been a bit of a problem. Well, why don't you accompany me to the next city?" Adriana suggested.

She needed to test Chuck even more. Even though she had taken a fancy to him, he was still barely qualified. Moreover, the differences between their families were much too big to ignore.

If they were to get married, Chuck would be the one receiving benefits from her own family. Their child would never be a "Cannon". They would have to take after her last name.

"Sure."

Chuck agreed. Although he had no interest in this woman, she was by far the only woman who could match Yvette in all aspects. Staying together with such a woman wouldn't be too bad anyways.

At the very least, she was a beautiful woman. "Okay," Adriana stood up.

"Huh? Have your legs healed?" Chuck asked in surprise. She was clearly heavily injured the previous day. How could she recover in just one night?

In truth, Adriana's injuries were nothing worrying. Her family had the most skillful doctor who had mastered traditional medicine.

She only needed to apply some ointment to her sprained ankles for them to heal.

"It's gotten a bit better," Adriana passed it off.

"So... Do I still have to carry you?" Chuck asked. It wasn't that she was heavy, but rather, having to carry a beautiful woman meant having to suppress his innermost desires. The pain of having to do so was absolutely terrible.

To make matters worse, her figure was similar to Yvette's.

"What do you think?"

"Emn, it's a little uncomfortable for me to carry you," Chuck answered honestly.

"Is that so? Then continue to carry me," Adriana demanded. She still needed to test Chuck. If Chuck was to marry her, she would absolutely not allow anything to happen between him and another woman.

"Fine," Chuck agreed, picking her up.

Chuck was already quite strong, and a night of good rest had allowed him to replenish his strength and energy. Carrying her around for a whole day was nothing to him. While he wasn't paying attention, Adriana clicked her fingers behind him, signaling for her men to follow them.

Chuck thought hard. The both of them had no money on them, meaning that they couldn't go far. They couldn't catch a ride, nor could they couldn't borrow a phone. It was a ridiculous situation indeed.

Adriana remained silent, feeling safe in his arms. She suddenly remarked, "If you want to be the richest man in the world, I can help you."

"Help me? Why would you?" Of course, he didn't want her help.

Chuck was not a man who would live off of a woman's help. He would achieve his own dreams with the money Karen had given him, along with his own efforts.

"Well, I'm willing to help you," Adriana said. She didn't bring up the fact that he could do so only if he married into her family.

"I'd be better off relying on myself," Chuck murmured.

"It's not that I'm looking down on you. It's just that, with my family present, no one can become the richest person in the world!" Adriana stated coolly.

He could feel her confidence through the tone of her voice.

"I guess I'll have to try my best then."

"Your efforts would be useless. There are mountains of obstacles that you would never be able to cross. The only reason that you could even see the sun was because we allowed you to do so. In this world, only I can help you. No one else can, especially not your wife." Adriana's eyes narrowed.

Chuck, who was initially indifferent at her words, suddenly felt slightly agitated at the mention of Yvette.

"You can never compare to my wife. She would never say that to me, never. She is considerate and..."

Adriana frowned and interrupted, "That's because your wife doesn't have the ability to help you, so she can only listen to you. However, I am different. I can make you the richest man in the world, but she can't!!"

"If you're of so much help to me, where are your men?!" Chuck retorted.

"You're... You're too ignorant. I'm starting to become a little disappointed in you," Adriana shook her head and grumbled. Only one command from her was needed for someone to appear before them right now.

Yet, Chuck had the audacity to say something like this to her.

"So be it," Chuck didn't care. She wasn't Yvette, so why should he be bothered by her words?

"Put me down," Adriana ordered.

"Can you even walk by yourself?" Chuck looked at her. She had beautiful legs. If she were to hurt her legs further, it would be a pity.

"Yes, I'm disappointed in you. I will give you ten seconds to regain my trust." "Whatever, I don't need it," Chuck shook his head.

"Don't you know what you've just missed out on? I can have your mother come over and face me right now!" Adriana was confident.

"Since you're so powerful, you must not need my help anymore. I'm leaving."
