Linda came downstairs and caught the intimate moment between Charles and Yolanda, which somehow made her feel a bit more at ease. “You’re here, Charles,” she smiled.

Charles nodded, his voice soft. “Came to take Yolanda home.”

‘Yolanda’s so lucky to have a man as sweet as Charles, and yet she doesn’t appreciate him and even talks back to her mother–in–law,‘ Linda fumed to herself.

She let out a heavy sigh. “How are you feeling? I heard you had some issues with low blood sugar at work today.”

Charles replied, “All good. Probably just missed Yolanda is all.”

That made Linda even happier. As long as Charles cared for Yolanda, this marriage would stick. “Quit with the lovey–dovey stuff this late. Just take her home,” she said.

Charles smiled, his hand still on Yolanda’s waist. “We’re off then. Yolanda’s been in a funk lately–if she rubbed you the wrong way, go easy on her, yeah?”

At this point, Linda could only laugh and wave them off.

Charles kept hold of Yolanda till they left the Grant residence.

Yolanda got into her car parked nearby, planning to drive back alone.

Charles stood by the car window, about to say something, when his phone buzzed.

Yolanda, sitting in the car silently, paused for a moment–she heard him mention her alias.

“Tessa? Got it,” Charles said to the phone. “Have the people at Starlight Entertainment handle this. Just make her apologize.”

‘Sophie called Charles to help her get revenge? And he’s actually wasting his time on something this petty?‘ Yolanda thought. She tightened her grip on the steering wheel and glanced down, slamming her foot on the gas.
