Chuck woke up. He slept very well at Patricia's house the night before.
Yvette was in his arms, looking cute when she was asleep. Chuck kissed her cheeks, and she woke up in a daze. She squeezed herself into his embrace as they held each other in silence.
The casino's grand opening was a success. So, they would stay here for a bit before going back in the afternoon, leaving Patricia in charge of the casino.
After all, Patricia had great management skills and could handle the job well.
Chuck thought about whether he should visit his home country, since he had been in here for so long now.
Yolanda had been updating Chuck on news and reports about City Square. The plaza was getting more traffic and the land they previously bought was in the midst of construction. Yolanda had her hands full.
Moreover, Quinn and Zelda were all there!
He had not seen them for a long time.
After dealing with the Yeager family, he
wanted to go back. It was his home country after all.
Memories of his childhood and adult life were all there.
Chuck and Yvette were silent for a long time before they got out of bed.
There was the smell of breakfast outside. Willa must have already prepared breakfast.
Chuck finished freshening up before Yvette did. He was the first to come out of their room.
At the dining table, Black Rose had heavy dark circles under her eyes, which looked a little bloodshot too. Chuck shrugged and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"It's none of your business." Black Rose replied coldly.
She indeed tossed and turned the night before.
She simply could not fall asleep.
She was in a daze all the way till morning and only managed to sleep around two hours.
She had never experienced this before, and she did not understand what was wrong with herself.
"Why are you so angry?" Chuck was confused.
Why did he feel like Black Rose had quite the temper recently?
It was too early for menopause!
He had grown closer to Black Rose, but why was she becoming colder towards him?
And she seemed to be getting increasingly annoyed at him?
Chuck was at a loss. He did not do anything to her, did he?
Seeing Yvette come out, Black Rose did not want to talk to Chuck any longer. "Don't talk to me.
It was only early in the morning and Chuck was already baffled. Fortunately, Willa brought out breakfast with a smile, and Patricia also had woken up.
Everyone sat down for breakfast.
Inadvertently, all four women were eating in silence. Chuck wolfed down the food Willa made because they were too delicious.
Willa quietly pushed more food towards him and so did Yvette.
Willa and Yvette's eyes met. Willa did not dare to look at Yvette as she continued to eat the porridge with her head down. She felt guilty.
Black Rose had several thoughts in her head.
Why was Chuck eating so fast?
Was someone going to take his food away?
Patricia found it funny because Chuck seemed to have a good appetite. Having a boyfriend like him would be wise.
She then came to her senses. Why was she thinking about this?
The atmosphere during breakfast was odd.
All four women were preoccupied with their thoughts. Chuck on the other hand was carefree as he continued stuffing himself with food.
Somehow, they all very accommodating to Chuck.
He did not need to reach for anything he wanted to eat. Someone would have already pushed it in front of him.
When Chuck looked like he wanted more food, Black Rose subconsciously stopped eating. Even Black Rose herself was shocked at her behavior. Why did she do this?
