Yolanda spent the next few days at the villa here.

Charles finalized the government project, always leaving early and coming home late. It wasn’t until the last night that he finally had her get in the car with him.

Yolanda had already checked in with Ian and knew he’d headed back with the crew a day ahead of schedule.

Plus, Ian was still sulking about it. Even though he didn’t say a word, Yolanda could tell from his whole vibe.

‘He acts all normal, but I can totally feel he’s got a grudge, Yolanda thought to herself.

With Ian’s birthday pretty much here, Yolanda totally planned to pick up a present for him and cheer him up once they were back in Beloris.

Yolanda leaned against Charles’s shoulder, half-dozing with her eyes closed.

Her face was delicately oval, her skin so pale it pretty much glowed. Curled up against his shoulder, she looked just like a little bird, super adorable and fragile.

Jack caught a glimpse in the rearview mirror-he swore something was definitely different about the way Charles was acting around Yolanda.

He kept quiet, hands steady on the wheel.

When they arrived at Moonbay Estate, Yolanda was just about to open her eyes when Charles scooped her up, carrying her in his arms before she knew it.

He laid her down on the bed, and the next thing she knew, his lips were on hers, waking her up with a kiss.

Yolanda couldn’t help but feel that Charles was way more into it tonight than usual.

She pushed him away and tugged the blanket over herself. “I’m tired, and my arm hurts.”

“Relax, sweetheart. I won’t touch your arm,” Charles murmured.

But he leaned in again, and Yolanda instantly buried herself even deeper under the blanket.

Charles tried to coax her out, but she was clammed up tight like a locked shell.

Beads of sweat rolled down his face as he held himself back. In the end, he snatched up his pajamas and quietly left the room, frustration simmering beneath his calm.

Yolanda waited until she heard the door click shut before she shot up in bed.

‘This is weird,’ she thought to herself. ‘Charles used to act all distant, barely ever touching me, but now he’s suddenly so into me-like, what changed?’

‘Seriously, what’s going on here?’
