Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 100

Yvonne wasn't stupid. Naturally, she knew that Henry's clothes were very expensive. She couldn't just wash it like any ordinary clothes. If she damaged the clothes, there was no way she could pay for it.

If she knew this would happen, she wouldn't have said those words to him...

Yvonne fully regretted her actions but what has been done is done. She could only face it straight on, what else could she do?

"Sigh..." Yvonne sighed. She found a shopping bag from her drawer, folded Henry's clothes and placed them in the bag. She decided that she would get Sue's advice after work.

Sue did Henry's laundry so she should know how to deal with his clothes.

With those thoughts, Yvonne assured herself and continued working back at her desk.

In the evening, Yvonne took the bag of clothes and decided to return to the villa when it was time to knock off work.

The moment she stepped out from her office, she ran into Henry.

He just stepped out from his office and there was a coat on his arm.

"Mr. Lancaster," Yvonne greeted him.

"Are you knocking off?" Henry looked at her.

"Let's go back together." Henry wore his coat and headed to the elevator.

Yvonne froze for two seconds before quickly following behind him. "You’re going back to the villa instead of the hospital?" she asked softly.

"Why should I go to the hospital?" Henry pressed the elevator button.

Yvonne looked around before answering, "Obviously t o see Miss Conrad."

Usually, he would've left for the hospital to visit Jacqueline at this time.

"I’m not going." Henry stepped into the elevator.

Yvonne followed suit. "Wouldn't Miss Conrad be unhappy?”

"I haven't gone to the hospital for two days," Henry stared at the closing door as he replied blandly.

Yvonne’s mouth was agape. "Two days?"

"Yes, after I’ve sorted things out with her, I haven't seen her. I'll also try to minimize my contact with her." Henry's gaze lingered on Yvonne’s face for a while.

He would only visit Jacqueline if something serious happened or he'd usually want to keep his distance.

Jacqueline should understand very well and accept the fact that their relationship was no longer the same.

"Since you didn't visit Jacqueline these two days, where did you go?" Yvonne wasn't happy to hear what Henry said so she grew anxious instead.

'He didn't visit Jacqueline but he also didn't go back to the villa.

'Did he decide to move back to where he used to live, just like before?’

"I went back to the family residence.” Henry adjusted his collar. "Our family's remembrance day is nearing, and I've got to make many arrangements back at the family residence."

"So, you didn’t move back to your old place?" Yvonne confirmed with him once more, clasping her hands tightly together.

She suddenly felt that she had experienced the ups and downs of life in that short minute.

"I didn’t move back." Henry nodded. "Why? Did you assume I moved out?"

"Yes..." Yvonne nodded.

Henry's lips curled upwards slightly. "So, you wanted me to move back?"

"Of course not!” Yvonne retorted without thinking.

Henry folded his arms and watched her, unfazed."

Why?"

"Because... because I'm not pregnant yet," she forced out those words after she gave it some thought.

Henry's face grew cold in an instant. "Yvonne, so I'm just a reproduction tool to you!" 1

"No!" Yvonne was startled, she quickly explained herself, "I didn't mean it that way. What I’m trying to say..."

"Fine, I don't want to listen to you." Henry interrupted her and pursed his lips.

Yvonne opened her mouth and wanted to continue explaining. In the end, when she saw his expressionless face, she couldn't bring herself to say anything more.

She actually didn't want to say those words. She wanted to say to him, I love you, I want to live together with you.'

However, she didn't have the confidence. She was afraid that he wouldn't believe her and would take her feelings for granted so she changed her tone and answered him that way.

Who would have known that he'd still be offended?

Yvonne hammered her head in chagrin. She was really mad at herself. As the saying went, the more you say, the more mistakes you'll make!
