Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 230 Stay With Me for a While

Yvonne sighed. She then bent down and lifted Henry's hand lightly. She wanted to put his hand back on the bed.

However, just when she put his hand on the bed, he woke up all of a sudden. His deep-set eyes seemed cold and ferocious.

Yvonne was frightened, and she was stunned on the spot.

At last, Henry recovered his senses after a few seconds. He put away his coldness and fierceness." Did I scare you?" Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

His voice was so hoarse that it was slightly unpleasant. His throat was extremely dry.

Yvonne calmed herself down gradually. "No, I wasn't scared. But just now you..."

"I'm sorry. The things happening in the office have made me tense. I thought it was someone else." Henry rubbed his temple and explained lightly.

Yvonne shook her head. "It's fine. I’ll go and get you a glass of water.”

Then, she turned and left the room.

After a few minutes, she returned to the room with a glass of yellowish water and handed it to him. "Here you are. It's honey water, and it'll help soothe your dry

throat."

Henry did not expect to see her notice the dryness in his throat. She even prepared a glass of honey water for him. He was warmed by her action. "Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me. That's what I should do." Yvonne sat down at the side of the bed.

After Henry gulped down the water, he handed the glass back to her.

She took the glass and asked again, "Do you want more?"

"It's fine." Henry shook his head.

Yvonne replied lightly and put the glass beside the bed. "When did you come home?"

Henry looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Two hours ago."

Yvonne raised her eyebrows. "Just two hours? Did I disturb your sleep?”

"No."

"But..." Yvonne looked at his exhausted face. "You

don't look well. Didn't you sleep last night?"

"I had no time for that. I was busy." Henry pinched the bridge of his nose and replied in exhaustion.

Yvonne bit her lips. "Then did you resolve the issue now that you’re home?" "Almost. But I'm not sure what will happen next."

"What do you mean?"

Henry's facial expressions worsened. "Something happened with headquarters this time around. Joe spent one whole night, but he still could not discover the schemer behind it. So it's possible that that person is plotting another scheme now."

"How could that be?" Yvonne was shocked. "You're being targeted. Did you offend anybody?"

"The business field is just like a battlefield. I offended too many people, so it's not easy to find out who is behind all of this." Henry closed his eyes in frustration.

Noticing that he was exhausted, Yvonne asked no more. She took the glass and stood up. "I can't help you with your work. Since you didn't have a good rest last night, do go back to sleep. I’ll go out first."

"Wait." Henry called after her.

Yvonne stopped walking and turned to look at him." What's wrong?"

Henry opened his eyes. "Come here."

Yvonne tilted her head and headed back to the bed in doubt.

Henry pointed at the bedside cabinet. "Put the glass down."

"What do you want?" Yvonne asked him as she did accordingly.

Henry smirked when he saw her putting down the glass obediently. Suddenly, he stretched his hand out and grabbed her wrist. Just when she was still in a daze, he used some force and pulled her into his arms.

"You..." Yvonne widened her eyes.

Henry put a finger on her lips. "Shh...please be quiet. I have a headache."

"If you have a headache, just rest. Why did you pull me into your arms?” Yvonne blinked her eyes and looked a t him.

Henry adjusted his posture and laid down in bed with her. After that, he pulled the blanket and covered both of them well. "That's enough. Don't mess around.

Sleep with me for a while."

"But I don't want to sleep." Yvonne struggled, trying to free herself from his arms.

But Henry intensified his force and hugged her tighter. "Don't move. If you move anymore, I can't guarantee what will happen next."

Hearing that, Yvonne's body stiffened immediately.

Henry closed his eyes in satisfaction. "Just sleep.

Don't talk anymore."

Yvonne made no reply and rolled her eyes.

'He threatened me again!

'If he wants to sleep, just sleep by himself. I don’t want to sleep, but he forces me to sleep with him. How reasonable!’

Although she was filled with such thoughts, she neither moved nor spoke now. She only fixed her eyes at the handsome face before her.

She did not know how long she had been staring at him when she finally heard his even breathing again. She knew that he had fallen asleep.

It was the first time she saw him going back to sleep s o soon after he had just woken up.

She realized that he was indeed exhausted the previous night.

She did not even know whether he had his meals, and she had forgotten to ask him about that just now.

But now that he was fast asleep, it was not good to wake him up again.

Yvonne sighed and yawned soon after. She felt that her eyelids had started to become heavy now.

She knew that she had become sleepy, and she was unaware whether it was because of him.

But she did not dwell on that for long. She moved slightly and found a comfortable spot in his arms before she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

She only woke up the next morning.

When Yvonne woke up, she was in a daze. It surprised her to see that she could sleep for so long. It was more than ten hours.

Henry walked out of the bathroom and saw her sitting up on the sofa in a daze, hugging the pillow.

"You’re up." Henry frowned.

Yvonne heard his voice. She was stunned, and she soon recovered. "You're... still here."

"If not, where should I be?" Henry asked her as he was drying his hair.

Yvonne waved her hand. "That's not what I meant. I'm just wondering why you haven't gone to work yet."

"I'll get to work later. Get up and go to clean yourself u p first. Then, we can have our breakfast," said Henry.

Yvonne nodded. "Alright, I'll go now."

She shoved the blanket aside and got out of bed. She then put on her shoes and walked toward the bathroom.

After she was done, she went to the living room.

Henry had now blown dry his hair, waiting for her at the dining table.

Seeing that, Yvonne immediately went and took her seat at the dining table. She looked at the grand breakfast before her. It filled the entire dining table." Did you go and buy them?"

"I asked Joe to buy it for me," replied Henry simply and handed the cutlery to her.

Yvonne took it from him. "Thank you."

"Let's eat." Henry served her bread.

Yvonne looked down at the bread and smiled faintly. She then took a bite of it.

It was delicious, even more so than every bread she had ever had. Besides, it was Joe who went and bought breakfast. Certainly, the bread he bought was not common.

But she understood it well. How could Joe act carelessly with Henry and simply buy breakfast at any place?

"By the way..." During their meal, Yvonne seemed to think about something else all of a sudden. She put down the fork and spoon and looked at Henry. "I've got a question that I've been meaning to ask you about."

"What is it?" Henry took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

Yvonne swallowed the bread. "It's regarding Lynn. I heard from her that you're returning to headquarters with a group of employees, with the intention to train them up there. She was chosen too. Was it your idea?"

"Are you talking about Lynette?” Henry looked at her.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes."

"Yes, it's me." Henry admitted.

Yvonne blinked her eyes. "Why? Is it because of me?"

"That's right. I investigated her and found that she's taken good care of you. As your husband, certainly I need to help her a little. Besides, she's quite capable. S o I gave her a chance. As to whether she could gain higher positions after that, it's all up to her,” said Henry nonchalantly.

Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief. "I see. I thought that H

"What?" Henry lifted his eyelids lightly.
