Chapter 2172
In the middle of the night, Chantelle quietly slipped under Andrew’s covers.
The next morning, when Sofia and Patrick walked in and found her fast asleep in Andrew’s bed, both of them were furious. The two of them were strict and old-fashioned. In their eyes, since Chantelle and Andrew were not officially married, she had no business sharing a bed with him, especially not under their roof, right in front of them!
Yet, Chantelle had been so bold about it.
For Sofia, who held tightly to traditional values, the sight was unbearable. She spent the entire morning fuming, her chest tight with frustration and disbelief.
Finally, when Chantelle got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up while yawning, Sofia immediately followed her and locked the door behind them.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Chantelle asked, her hair still messy from sleep.
Pointing a finger at her daughter, Sofia demanded, “Tell me, why did you sleep in Andrew’s bed last night?”
Chantelle just shrugged and started brushing her teeth, mumbling through the toothpaste, “What’s the big deal? I’ve slept with him countless times already!”
Sofia felt her blood pressure rising. “Y–You’re saying you and Andrew have slept together many times already? Chantelle, do you have no shame? You two aren’t even married yet!”
Chantelle rolled her eyes. “Mom, I’m destined to be Andrew’s woman. Whether it’s sooner or later, it’s the same thing. I just came home for a bit, so stop freaking out. Anyway, go and make breakfast! After we eat, Andrew and I are heading out to the mall.”
Sofia was speechless, her face pale with shock. The Chantelle she remembered used to be so reserved and proper, almost like a younger version of herself, carrying an air of dignity. But now? Her daughter had become so carefree, so forward. Worst of all, she had given herself to Andrew more than once already. She really could not understand the younger generations.
“You are not sleeping in Andrew’s bed tonight,” Sofia snapped, her tone sharp. “This is my house, not yours, and I will not allow you to act so shamelessly here!”
Chantelle only laughed, unbothered. “Fine, we weren’t planning to stay home anyway. We’ll just get a hotel tonight.”
Sofia’s voice rose in anger. “There are plenty of rooms in this house! Why on earth would you go pay for a hotel?”
Chantelle’s cheeks flushed as she hesitated. Then, she mumbled, “Because whenever we sleep together, we end up making too much noise. I don’t want you and Dad to lose sleep.”
Sofia was confused at first, not understanding what she meant. Then, she gasped in shock. “Chantelle, you’re absolutely shameless!”
After finishing in the bathroom, Chantelle opened the door and walked out. Suddenly, she turned back and said, “Mom, this isn’t shameless! This is called enjoying life. My man is amazing, I can’t help it.”
After breakfast, Andrew and Chantelle headed out for a stroll.
Chantelle was thrilled, linking arms with Andrew and insisting he accompany her shopping. Perhaps it was being back home with him by her side, but Andrew noticed that Chantelle seemed radiant and full of youthful energy.
He still had two days before he needed to be back in Chetvine, so there was no rush. Most importantly, he needed to wait and see what was happening with Natasha’s situation. So, he figured he would just use these two days to relax in Terror Town.
Freddie was being very enthusiastic and sent someone over with another invitation. “Mr. Lloyd, please do us the honor of joining us tonight!”
Andrew smiled and agreed. “Alright, I’ll come by tonight.”
He was curious to get to know this Freddie character better. Logically speaking, throughout the entire southern region, the Somaeth Chamber of Commerce and the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce were competitors. Yet, here in Terror Town, Freddie was incredibly hospitable and accommodating.
Andrew thought about it and concluded that either this man had ulterior motives regarding him, or he was genuinely a kind person who simply wanted to be a good host.
However, Andrew immediately realized there might be an even deeper reason behind it all.
