Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 235 Does She Love Him So Much

Yvonne felt her belly and shook her head, her face was blushing. "I was in a rush when I came out so I had forgotten to eat."

"Is that so." Henry dragged his sentence which sounded mysterious.

Yvonne got up and said, "I'll be heading back now, enjoy your meal."

"Hold on." Henry grabbed onto her wrist, stopping her i n her tracks.

Yvonne turned to look at him. "Is there anything else?"

Henry chuckled and placed a fork in her hands. “Let’s eat together."

"What?" Yvonne was startled. "Together?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Yep," nodded Henry.

Yvonne looked at the fork in her hands and said, "But Sue prepared this for you."

"Seems like she prepared enough for the both of us," corrected Henry, he then showed her the contents inside the lunchbox.

Yvonne then realized that the food in the lunchbox was way too much for one person to finish. There were even two sets of cutlery prepared inside. Henry was right - it was a lunchbox for two.

"What in the..." Yvonne was dumbfounded.

Henry pulled her down to her seat again and said, " Sue probably planned for you to bring me my lunch all along, hence she prepared two portions."

"That means she was lying when she said she had errands at the villa?” said Yvonne with a frown.

Henry smiled and his eyes curved upwards as well as he said, "Possibly. Anyway, enough about that, let's eat."

Henry gestured for her to hurry up.

Yvonne nodded and temporarily put aside her thoughts and ate quietly.

There was enough food for her anyway, so why shouldn’t she eat it?

It also felt refreshing and exciting, eating together with him in the office for the first time.

When they were finished, Yvonne tidied up the boxes and took them to the washroom to clean them.

After she was done cleaning, she said farewell to Henry.

Henry put down the documents and asked her, "You’re leaving already?"

"Yeah, I should head back soon," said Yvonne as she wiped the stains off the table.

"Aren't you going to walk around and look around the building?" asked Henry.

Yvonne paused for a while and asked, "Look around the building?"

"You're about to work here soon. I informed the staff earlier today that I would bring you here to familiarize yourself with the place. Since you're here now, we might as well carry forward with our plans," said Henry lazily as he crossed his fingers.

Yvonne was a little surprised with what she had heard.

However, she shook her head to refuse after thinking for a short while. "Let's leave it for another day. I'm only here to deliver your food today. I won't be able to know my way around here alone,

also Frederick isn't here to guide me either.”

"I’ll show you around myself, or I could arrange for someone to guide you as well," replied Henry.

Yvonne continued to refuse his offer and said, "Forget i t, we'd raise too much suspicion if you show me around. Also, it wouldn’t make any difference if you arrange someone to show me around on any other day.”

Henry was a little unhappy at her stubbornness but decided to let her go anyway.

"Then I'll be leaving now.” said Yvonne. She picked up the lunchbox and walked off without realizing how Henry had felt.

"Hold on," called Henry again.

Yvonne stopped once more. "What is it?"

"I'll send you off," said Henry as he got out from his chair.

Yvonne hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands and said, "It's alright, you don't have to send me off."

Henry's face darkened at Yvonne's constant rejection t o his offers and said, "Why, are you ashamed of me?"

"No, you've misunderstood me." Yvonne quickly explained, "I just told you that we'd raise suspicion if you showed me around the company. The same thing goes if you send me off, so I should probably leave alone."

"Are you that afraid of people talking behind your back?" Henry squinted his eyes.

Yvonne tightened her grip on the lunchbox and did not reply.

Was she afraid?

No, she wasn’t actually.

However, she recalled how Henry had constantly tried to cover up the fact that they were married to the public. If someone found out about it now, Henry might blame it on her. i

"Fine." Henry took Yvonne's silence as an acknowledgement to his statement, and his face looked unhappy. "Since you’re not willing to let me send you back, you're free to head back yourself."

"Alright," nodded Yvonne, "I'm off then."

She smiled at him again before leaving. Henry looked at her with a puzzled look as she left.

As soon as she left his office, her smile slowly waned until it completely disappeared.

She rested against the large metallic door, closed her eyes, and took in a deep breath. After she had adjusted her emotions, she walked towards the elevator.

After she left the building, she was trying to hail a taxi by the roadside but had a hard time doing so as she was in the middle of a bustling city so it was more difficult to hail one. Even the only taxi that had stopped nearby had a passenger in it.

Yvonne had waited for over half an hour and started t o feel impatient.

She had no choice but to walk to the next taxi stand o n foot to try her luck there.

Along the way, a luxurious black sedan had suddenly appeared and stopped beside her and horned at her twice.

Yvonne stopped in her tracks and turned her head. She was excited and surprised as she thought it was Henry.

She had deliberately asked him to not send her back, but who knew he would actually chase after her?

Yvonne held back her urge to laugh and raised her hand to open the door.

At that moment, the car windows lowered and a face that wasn't Henry’s popped out of the window.

Yvonne's expression froze and her hands stopped mid -air as well. "It's you?”

She was surprised to see the man who was in the car.

She had never expected the man to be Elliot instead of Henry.

It wasn’t surprising to her that Henry wasn't the one i n the car. He had already said that he wouldn't send her back, and he rarely changed his mind once he had decided on it.

It was her who had high hopes in him.

She felt disappointed and heartbroken at the thought o fit.

"Are you surprised to see me?" Elliot rested his arm on the window pane and smiled at her charmingly, pretending not to see her disheartened expression.

Yvonne forced a smile and said, "I am a little surprised. What are you doing here?"

"I just dropped off my dad at the airport and passed by this place and saw you..." Elliot scanned her from top t o bottom. "What are you doing here anyway? Aren’t you supposed to be in the village? How are you back after so few days? I thought I was seeing things just

now."

"I'm here to deliver his lunch.” Yvonne held up the lunchbox she was holding.

As for who she was referring to, there was no need to elaborate.

It would be none other than Henry as they were just outside of the Lancaster Group’s headquarters.

Elliot raised both his eyebrows. "Delivering lunch?

You're back on terms with Henry?”

"Almost," replied Yvonne.

Elliot wryly smiled and said, "How did that happen?"

"I-it..." Yvonne paused for a while and shook her head instead without intending to explain herself.

Elliot did not push her for the answer and snickered," What were you thinking getting back together with Henry? Have you forgotten what kind of a man he is? Have you forgotten what he did to you and your child?"

"I remember." Yvonne's face sank. "But this is between me and him. You should stay out of it, Mr. Taylor."

"I'm not trying to interfere." Elliot held onto his forehead. "I just feel sorry for you, and how you’ve gotten back with the man who hurt you so deeply so easily. Aren't you afraid of being hurt again?"

Yvonne's expression changed but she did not reply.

To be honest, she was afraid.

But she was helplessly in love with Henry despite being afraid.

Love really did make people do silly things.

Elliot sighed as he saw Yvonne remain silent." Yvonne, how could you do this to yourself? You finally managed to escape from hell, yet you’ve immediately jumped back into it again. I'm speechless, do you actually love Henry so much?"
