Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 572 Do You Like Theo?

Henry's thin lips moved but he did not speak.

He did not know why he came here.

He was already there when he realized it.

"I just came back from shopping and thought your car looked a little familiar. I didn't expect it to be you," Yvonne lifted the bag in her hand and said with a smile.

Henry saw that she got some groceries, so he asked in surprise, "You can cook?"

"A little," Yvonne replied modestly.

Henry lifted his chin. "Really?"

"Since you're here, do you want to come to my apartment for a while?" Yvonne invited him.

Henry said, "Sure. Sorry to trouble you."

"Not at all." Yvonne smiled.

Henry opened the door and got out of the car. He stretched out his hand and carried the bag in her hand. "Let me help you."

"Thank you." Yvonne did not refuse either.

"My pleasure." Henry followed her into the apartment complex.

Yvonne's smile faded. "Henry, you're such a

gentleman. Do you treat all women like this?"

"No." Henry immediately refuted, "I won't even get close to other women."

Except you.

"Well, then I'm really honored." Yvonne pushed the elevator button.

The elevator door quickly opened, and they walked in.

Yvonne pressed the level of her apartment, and Henry secretly remembered the number of her unit.

"Henry, are you in a bad mood?" Yvonne suddenly asked.

Henry pinched the bridge of his nose. "A little."

"It doesn't look like 'a little.' I think you're frowning so much that you can actually trap a mosquito between your brows. Is something wrong?" Yvonne turned to look at him.

Henry lowered his eyelids. "It's nothing."

Yvonne shrugged her shoulders. "Well, since you don't want to say anything, I won't ask either. By the way, shouldn't you be in the hospital now? Why did you come out? Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, for now." Henry could feel the warmth in his heart when he noticed that she was concerned about him. His frown eased a little.

Yvonne nodded. "As long as you're okay."

Ding!

The elevator had arrived.

Yvonne got out of the elevator and Henry followed closely behind.

Yvonne walked to a door and scanned her fingerprint t o open the door.

She changed her shoes at the entrance before taking out a pair of unopened men's slippers from the shoe cabinet and putting them in front of Henry.

Henry looked down at a pair of black men's slippers in front of him, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line. It was obvious that he was unhappy. "Do these slippers belong to someone?"

"Yes." The corner of Yvonne’s mouth curved upward a s she admitted it honestly.

Henry asked coldly, "Whose?"

"You know this person too. It's Shane," Yvonne replied as she put her bag on the shoe cabinet.

Henry clenched his hand that was holding the grocery bag. "Shane Summers!"

"It's him. We are very good friends. He comes to my place for dinner sometimes, so I always keep a pair of his slippers here," Yvonne said.

After she said that, she noticed that his eyes had gotten colder and colder. It made her feel a burst of joy in her heart.

She knew that he had fallen in love with her again.

That was why she deliberately mentioned Shane to irritate him. As she expected, he got upset.

He finally understood how sad she felt when he still had feelings for Jacqueline back then.

"When did you meet Shane?" Henry asked casually while putting on his slippers.

Yvonne took the grocery bag in his hand and walked t o the kitchen.

Henry followed her to the kitchen too.

Yvonne sorted out the groceries and answered, "We've known each other for many years. We met while we were overseas and he was just like you guys. When he first saw me, he thought I was somebody else. After w e cleared up our misunderstanding, we became good friends."

They met abroad, and Shane got the wrong person...

That meant it probably happened six years ago.

Henry's eyes flashed as he thought about it. "Then do you know why he was abroad?"

"Yeah. Didn't he travel abroad to join an academic exchange program with his mentor?" Yvonne answered casually.

Henry lowered his eyes. "So there’s no other reason besides the academic exchange? Perhaps there could be other women around him, specifically a woman

with a child?"

When Yvonne heard that, she suddenly stopped in her tracks when she was packing her groceries, and she realized something.

He was using this as an opportunity to find out about her other identity.

Her other identity, which was Theo's mother. He was trying to find out who Theo's mother was through her.

However, it was a shame that he asked the wrong person.

With her back facing Henry, Yvonne rolled her eyes as she was not afraid that Henry would see her. She then pretended to reply innocently, "A woman with a child? No, I've never seen him with any

woman who has a child. However, I've seen him with a child."

"Theo!" Henry immediately said the child's name.

Yvonne nodded after a light flashed past her eyes. " Yes, it's Theo. I heard from Shane that Theo has been through some tough times and was born prematurely. So, his body was weak when he was born and would often fall sick. Most importantly, the child has autism."

Henry clenched his hands as he could feel his heart suffocating.

"By the way, I suddenly realized that the child, Theo, looks a lot like you, Henry." Yvonne turned around and looked at him in surprise.

Henry nodded. "He's my son."

"What? Theo is your son?" Yvonne was surprised.

Henry looked at her. "Yes."

"Then why haven't I heard you talk about him before?" Yvonne pretended to be bewildered.

Henry said slowly, "I only learned about it recently."

"I see. Then, are you bringing Theo back to the Lancaster family?" Yvonne turned around.

There was a sudden hint of determination in Henry’s eyes as he said, "Of course, he’s part of the Lancaster family and the only heir of the Lancaster family. Of course I’ll bring him back to the family, but not right now. I’ll do it after his mother and I resolve all our grievances."

When Henry mentioned "only heir," Yvonne's heart trembled and she was touched.

She didn’t expect that a phone call in the morning would make him recognize that Theo would inherit the Lancaster family someday.

Otherwise, he would not be saying this now.

Yvonne's mood became better as she thought about this and she was not so cold anymore, "Well, what about Anna?"

"I'll divorce Jacqueline. After the divorce, I’ll send Anna to her biological father," Henry replied.

Yvonne was satisfied, and she started cutting the vegetables faster. "Really? When are you going to divorce Miss Conrad?" "Soon." Henry didn't give her an accurate answer.

Because the psychological cues in his mind had not been removed, he could not guarantee what he might d o when they divorced.

Therefore, after the psychological cues had been removed, he could finally leave without worries.

"Shan." Henry suddenly called Yvonne's name.

Yvonne didn’t look back as she asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you... like Theo?" Henry asked.

Yvonne thought of her son and her eyes were full of tenderness as if she was melting away. "Of course I like him. I’ve met Theo and he’s very cute. He’s the cutest child in the world."

When Henry heard this, his tense heart eased a little. H e went on, "Then are you willing to..."

"Willing to?" Yvonne finished cutting up the vegetables and walked to the sink to wash her hands.

Henry looked at her thin figure and his thin lips moved a few times. But in the end, he did not finish his question. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After Yvonne washed her hands, she turned to look at him. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
