My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 166

Zelda Maine smiled. "The strongest man?"

Chuck Cannon blushed. That was his goal, but Zelda and Queenie both actually knew if he was actually strong or not...

Chuck drove along and stopped talking about it. Zelda said seriously, "Chuck, you have to be confident. You have too little experience with girls, which explains why you didn't last very long. I believe that with your hard work, you will indeed become the strongest."

Chuck was touched by her words and encouragement. It meant a lot to him.

"Thank you, Zelda," Chuck said.

"For what?" Zelda shook her head, but when she saw that Chuck's legs were shaking, she laughed and asked, "Do you want me to drive?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Chuck nodded. He had done too many squats yesterday, so his legs were numb now. If he continued training like that, it would most definitely produce good results.

The two of them got out of the car and changed positions. However, just as Zelda was about to sit down on the driver’s seat, Chuck reached out to take his cell phone on the seat...

Chuck felt like he had touched some cotton fabric, and it was too soft. Zelda's face suddenly turned red. She knew that Chuck didn't mean to...

"I'm sorry, Zelda." Chuck pulled back his hand. The feeling was really hard to describe.

"It's okay."

Zelda calmed herself down. As she drove, she bit her lip and said, "I can't help you now because you are training, so you can't give up all your previous efforts. But if you really can't suppress it anymore, you can still touch me. I don't mind..."

"It’s fine." Chuck quickly shook his head. He already felt guilty towards Yvette for coming out with Zelda today. If he touched her, that would be even more wrong.

"Okay then." Zelda was a little disappointed and sighed in her heart.

How should she put it? Although she knew that they would never be together, she still couldn't help herself. After all, Chuck already had a place in her heart.

Even though they were not meant to be, but if Chuck was willing or still needed it, she wouldn't refuse him.

Thinking of this, she felt even more disappointed. She stopped talking and continued the drive to her home.

…...

Opulence Retreat was a very famous restaurant. It was extravagant like a holiday resort.

Manny Lowe had many relatives here, and she had specially invited them all. Zelda said that she would bring Chuck back over the phone the day before, and she was thrilled. She wanted to introduce Chuck to every one of them.

After all, now that both of them were living together, they should be planning to get married soon.

Her relatives were all rich, especially Zelda's cousin. They were the owners of a furniture store and were extremely rich.

"Auntie, this is my boyfriend..." Zelda’s cousin, Rainie Lowe introduced.

Manny was surprised. Rainie's boyfriend was tall and handsome, and judging from his temperament, he was not from any ordinary family.

"Not bad," Manny said with a smile.

"Yeah, he came out to start a business by himself. Now, his company is worth around three hundred million dollars," Rainie said.

"What a remarkable man!" Manny was surprised. It was not easy for a startup company to have such a high market value!

Manny's expression made her boyfriend, Wallace Hanne, look proud. He enjoyed their admiration very much.

"Yeah, we plan on getting married next month." Rainie smiled.

"Congratulations!"

"By the way, where is Zelda? Didn't you say that she would be bringing her boyfriend here today?" Rainie asked curiously.

"Yes, she's bringing him here."

"What does he do?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I think he has a plaza. He’s the owner of a plaza," Manny said.

"The owner of a plaza?" Rainie was surprised. Did Zelda really manage to find such a wealthy husband?

"Yes."

"That must be very big, yes?"

"It's not really that big actually," Manny said. Chuck's square was actually really small, at least that was what she thought.

"Even if it's not that big, it should still be valued over a hundred million dollars."

"That's not necessarily true. If it's not really that big, then not many owners make a lot out of them. Some even record losses." Wallace shook his head.

Manny shook her head and didn't say much.

"That's right. I heard that someone has opened a plaza for over half a year now. There weren't many people there, so not many shops were rented out. If this goes on, the owner would soon go bankrupt" Rainie added.

This was true. She had a friend who ran a shop in the plaza. She said that the plaza owner was planning to ditch the whole thing, and the employees at the plaza still haven't received their paychecks yet. Things were not optimistic for them.

"That's not necessarily true. I think Zelda's boyfriend's plaza is pretty profitable," a woman wearing hot pants, who had gone there with Manny, came over and said.

The woman wearing a pair of tight jeans also came over.

"Well, that's what you think. But only he is clear whether or not he is recording a profit." Rainie was unhappy. She was not too fond of the two ladies. Still, they were Manny’s best friends, so she couldn't say much about them.

"You'll know if you go and have a look for yourself," said the woman in tight jeans.

"If he’s so wealthy, then I really want to see what Zelda's boyfriend looks like." Rainie curled her lips.

"Well, Zelda is coming." The young woman in hot pants said.

They looked over and found that Zelda was driving over. Rainie curled her lips. "Isn't that the car that Zelda bought? He doesn't even have his own car and needs to take hers. I'm guessing that his plaza isn't doing so well and will close down soon enough."

Chuck and Zelda walked over.

Manny and her two best friends were happy, but when Rainie saw Chuck, she shook her head.

He wasn't as handsome as her boyfriend, and what was wrong with his legs? He couldn't even walk properly! Were they doing it last night?

What a useless man!

Such a weak man wouldn't be good for their future prospects!

Some other relatives also came over to take a look at Zelda’s boyfriend. But upon seeing Chuck, they shook their heads.

First of all, he didn't have a car. He wasn't walking naturally, could it be that they were doing it last night? Not only was he poor, but he was also incapable in bed. How did she find a boyfriend like him?

Perhaps he was a staff member of some company earning a meager salary but was lucky enough to meet Zelda...

He must be taking advantage of her!

They were surprised and felt that it was necessary to remind Manny or Zelda to reconsider this guy.

"Chuck, did you two..." Manny was shocked and surprised. Seeing Chuck’s trembling legs, did this mean that there will be good news from them?

Her two best friends also laughed.

"Mom, don't think so much. Chuck just..." Zelda blushed. Why did her mother have this look on her face? He just trained too much last night!

"I've been there done that, my child. I understand... Everyone, this is my daughter's boyfriend, Chuck Cannon!" Manny smiled happily.

She was confused by the frowns on her relatives' faces. What was wrong?

"Is he really Zelda's boyfriend?" One of the relatives asked. They thought that Chuck wasn’t a decent boyfriend for Zelda.

"Yes." Manny nodded.

"He doesn't seem as capable as Rainie's boyfriend. Rainie’s boyfriend owns a company and is really rich. Zelda’s boyfriend, on the other hand, doesn't seem that good! But at least they look good together."

"How can you just settle so easily? You can't settle for a man like this for the rest of your life." A middle-aged woman came over. "Zelda, what does your boyfriend do?"

"Well, let's ask him." All the other relatives also said. After all, they liked Zelda, and didn't want her to suffer in the future. This person she brought over clearly didn't match well with her.

As her relatives, they really must remind her.

"He's still a student," Zelda said confidently.

"What? A student?"

"No wonder he doesn't even have a car."

"He can't be with her! He's too young, and he might be up to no good!"

"I don't think it's a good idea either."

Manny was unhappy to hear that. "My daughter's boyfriend is still studying, but he has a plaza under his name."

"A plaza? Is he from a wealthy family?"

"Looks like it's deceiving, is it a ruse?"

"I think it's possible. It's not easy to operate a plaza nowadays, a lot of them are recording losses. How is his plaza doing?" A relative asked her.

"Pretty good," Zelda said. She could tell that the foot traffic at the plaza was picking up, and that was a good sign.

"Pretty good? Then it must be just average."

"Maybe it’s not even profiting."

They all started to whisper around. Owning a plaza at such a young age? He was doomed to fail! They all felt that Manny was saying this for the sake of her daughter, but looking at Chuck, they couldn't believe that he was the owner of a plaza.
