Chapter 229

Yasmine and Morgan were in conversation when Chuck and Lucy approached. Their faces were slightly flushed. With a knowing smile, Yasmine asked, "What's going on with you two?"

Chuck didn't hold back. He took Lucy's hand and said, "Ms. Sanchez, Lucy and I are together now."

"Together? So soon?" Yasmine teased. They had been out for barely half an hour, how did they end up together so quickly? Yasmine looked at Lucy with concern. She was worried Lucy might get hurt, considering how innocent she was. Although she had interacted with Chuck before, she didn't know him well enough.

Lucy shyly walked over to Yasmine and politely picked up the bowl of soup, getting ready to have it when Chuck stopped her. "It's cold. I'll make you another bowl," he said.

Chuck took the bowl of soup away immediately. Lucy glanced at Yasmine and gave an embarrassed smile, "Just a moment ago..."

Half an hour ago, Lucy found her path blocked by Chuck. "Why are you afraid of this?" Chuck asked.

Lucy shook her head firmly and said, "If I like you and you don't like me back, that would bè so pitiful. To be safe, I have to keep my distance."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chuck laughed. "Dummy." He placed his hand on Lucy's head. "Why don't we give it a shot together?" Surprisingly, Lucy agreed without thinking.

Listening to her happily recount her recent experiences, Yasmine felt genuinely happy for her.
