Chapter 19 0 The next morning , when Charles came downstairs , Yolanda was already eating breakfast at the dining table . He sat down without even looking at her . Yolanda kept her head down . She knew Charles was mad at her . Last night , she hadn't taken Teresa's call on purpose . Charles hadn't yelled or punished her , but the cold shoulder he was giving her now spoke volumes . He hadn't even said goodnight to her last night . Yolanda knew Charles was angry , really angry . " Daddy … " Yolanda tentatively turned her head , her voice soft and pleading . Charles's phone rang just then . He ignored Yolanda completely and answered it . It was a call from Logan Manor . Richard's voice crackled with displeasure , " It's been over half a year since you brought Yolanda and Teresa back to see me . And on your father's birthday , I had a meeting with friends and was unable to see you . Do you think I'm dead and buried just because I didn't call ? Are you going to take away my chance to see Yolanda and Teresa , huh ? " Richard was known for his hot temper , but his status within the family was unquestioned . He had single - handedly built Logan Group . Without him laying the groundwork , the Logan Family would never have become the most powerful family in Riverdale . だい Charles himself had grown up Richard's wing . They were incredibly close . Honestly , without that deep bond , even it a had held a knife to Charles's throat and forced him have batted an eye . It wasn't until Richard laid down the law that Charles had no choice but to agree to the marriage . Hearing Richard's bitter complaint , Charles just offered a faint smile and said , " We'll come back That didn't sit well with the old man . " Settle down ? When will that be ? Charles , stop beating date . If you don't bring Yolanda and Teresa back , forget about seeing me again ." han Teres he stil Ton to marry her , he probably wouldn't things settle down ." I want a solid round the bush with me . Charles was used to Richard's tactics , but he still frowned as he replied , " Sometime in the next couple of days . Richard didn't even listen . He put his foot down . " Tonight . That's final . " Charles hesitated . " Tonight might be a bit … Before he could finish , Richard cut him aim of . " If you want me to die alone in this house , then go ahead and pretend I'm just blowing smoke . " With that , Richard angrily hung up . Listening to the dial tone , Charles fell silent . As he set the phone down , Yolanda came over and asked , " Daddy , was that Mr. Richard ? " After all , they were father and daughter , No hard feelings lasted long . Charles didn't brush her off this time . He answered , " Yeah , He wants to see you ." Hearing this , Yolanda's legs started kicking with happiness . " Okay . I haven't seen Mr. Richard in ages . I miss him so much . " Richard adored Yolanda . Whatever tasty treats or fun toys she wanted , she got them . Charles felt Richard spoiled Yolanda way too much , which was why he didn't take her back very often . Seeing Yolanda's excitement , Charles decided to be straight with her . " Mom will be coming back with us too ." At that , Yolanda pouted . " Then I don't wanna go ," Charles didn't want to force her . He used Richard as a reason . " If you don't go back , Mr. Richard will be really sad ." Hearing this , Yolanda's heart softened . " Alright , " she said , " I'll go back with you , Daddy . " Charles smiled faintly and didn't say anything else . 1/8 Chapter 19 Not long after , Charles called Teresa . He rarely reached out first , and he didn't even have her number saved . He had to find it by the last few digits . The call connected almost instantly . " What is it ? " Teresa's voice held a hint of impatience . Charles paused for a beat before replying , " Grandpa Richard wants us at Logan Manor tonight . Said he misses Yolanda and you . " Teresa was driving when Charles spoke . She went quiet for a moment . When she answered , her voice was tight . " Got it . " Even if for nothing else , Teresa felt she should go for Richard's sake . He had been the kindest person to her in the Logan family , and she had never forgotten his kindness . Hearing Teresa agree , Charles wasn't surprised . He simply told her , " Then I'll pick you up this afternoon . " Teresa didn't hesitate . " No need . I'll drive myself over . " That reaction caught Charles off guard . In the past , Teresa would've been over the moon if he offered to pick her up . But now , her tone was completely flat . Charles didn't press her . Instead , he said , " Then could you pick Yolanda up on your way ? " " It's not really on my y . " Teresa replied , pick her up . " She doubted Charles even knew where she worked . The hospital was in the opposite direction from Yolanda's preschool . Picking her up first would mean a much longer trip to Logan Manor . Teresa Of course , the " not on the way " part was just an excuse . The truth was that Teresa genuinely didn't want much contact with Yolanda right now . The daughter she went through hell to bring into this world now only had eyes for Naomi's If her own daughter didn't care about her , Teresa wouldn't bend over backward for no thanks . Besides , Yolanda probably wouldn't even want Teresa to pick her up . Charles fell silent , but Teresa had already hung up on him . The driver was already waiting outside , but Yolanda hadn't gone out . She was T side . Waiting for Charles to finish his call . Even though she was still mad at Teresa , Yolanda couldn't help feeling unhappy that Teresa wasn't even trying to make it up to her . And hearing Teresa say on the phone that she wouldn't be picking her up just made Yolanda even more upset . She fumed silently , ' I hadn't even said if I'd let Mom pick me up . How could she de not to come ? ' Charles put his phone away and noticed Yolanda still hadn't left . " Why aren't you going ? " he asked , puzzled . Yolanda pouted . " Mom's spoiled because of you . " Charles found that odd . He couldn't recall ever spoiling Teresa . But he didn't feel like explaining it to Yolanda . " Go to school . " he said . " I'll pick you up this afternoon . " With that , he stood up and headed upstairs . Yolanda sat at the table a little longer . Finally , she slipped off her chair , unable to stop herself from muttering , " Hmph , I don't want a bad mom like her anyway . " It was 6 PM , and Teresa was just about to clock out when a kid with a broken leg got rushed into the emergency room . Seeing how bad it was , Teresa stuck around to help the doctor on duty patch him up . By the time they got the kid sorted , it was already past seven . Teresa changed out of her scrubs , hopped in her car downstairs , and rushed like crazy to get to Logan Manor . Even pushing it , she didn't pull up until after eight . 2/3 P Chapter 19 The house staff saw her come in and came up to greet her right away . Before Teresa even made it to the living room doorway , she heard Richard's angry voice . " Teresa still isn't here , and you didn't even think to call and check on her ? What woman doesn't want a caring partner ? You can't even manage a little concern . You're like a cold fish ! Who'd want someone like that ? " Charles sat slumped on the sofa , head down , staring at his phone . Some business news app was playing on the screen . Whether he actually heard Richard's words or not was unclear . He gave little reaction , not a flicker of emotion showing he was taking it in . Yolanda was playing with cards at the little table when she heard Richard's angry words . She turned to him and said seriously , " Mr. Richard , it was Mom who was late . It's not that Dad doesn't care about her . " Teresa , standing at the doorway , heard Yolanda's words but didn't flinch much anymore . She was used to Yolanda's attitude . The kid never showed any appreciation and didn't seem to care about her mom at all . 3/3
