Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 107

Yvonne wished that Henry would help reject him.

However, Henry only threw a cold glance at her without saying anything else.

His behavior caused her pain. She felt like she was being treated unfairly too.

She released her grasp on his sleeve and smiled apologetically at Elliot. Her face was pale. "I'm sorry, M r. Taylor. I think we’ll pass on that."

"Why? Aren't you my friend?" Elliot turned the phone around in his hand and pretended to look at her in disappointment.

Yvonne pursed her lips. "About that... we've only met each other twice. I don't think we're friends."

"But I've treated you as my friend. I don't even know why, but I kind of admire you. I felt like I was your friend already the first time I met you. Unfortunately ..." He gave Henry a meaningful look.

Henry understood Elliot's underlying meaning. His facial expression worsened immensely.

Elliot indeed held those kinds of thoughts regarding Yvonne. He actually blamed Henry for snatching her away.

"Yvonne, what a good thing you did there!" Henry stared at Yvonne sternly.

It never occurred to Henry that an ordinary woman like Yvonne would be so attractive to other men.

She charmed Shane before. Now it was Elliot.

Yvonne was puzzled by what Henry said. She frowned in confusion. "Henry, what are you talking about?”

"I’m sure you know very well what I'm talking about!" Henry sneered.

Yvonne bit her lips. "Do I? How would I know if you're not being concise about it?"

Elliot could not help but burst into laughter.

Both Yvonne and Henry turned to look at him at the same time.

He coughed softly. "I'm sorry. I was indeed amused by what you said just now, Mr. Lancaster. By the way, not only Miss Frey failed to understand you, but I too was unable to understand your meaning. So you really shouldn’t blame Miss Frey for it.”

Henry sneered. "How dare you speak up for her!"

"No!” Elliot showed his forefinger and waved it before him. "I’m not speaking up for her. I’m just telling nothing but the truth. In fact, you enjoy a higher status and privilege. It’s quite difficult for ordinary people to understand you. Isn’t that right, Miss Frey?"

Yvonne moved her lips slightly, but she did not respond to Elliot.

Actually, she agreed with Elliot.

Every time Henry said something, he never revealed everything he wanted to say. He never made himself clear. Besides, he always left the words hanging, making her guess the rest of what he wanted to say.

She was quite exhausted by it.

When she thought about that, she took a deep breath. " Excuse me, I'll go to the washroom now.”

She then got up and left the private room, heading for the washroom.

In the bathroom, Yvonne stood before the sink and splashed some cold water on her face, calming herself down.

In fact, she did not understand Elliot's behavior and actions. Why did he insist on gaining her contact number? He even did that before Henry. Moreover, she rejected him directly, but still he refused to give up. It seemed like he was persistent at gaining her contact number.

What pained her the most was how Henry reacted. Elliot put her in a rather difficult position, but Henry did not even give her a helping hand. He even raised some sarcastic remarks which she could not understand.

She still did not know what she had done wrongly up until now.

Yvonne splashed herself with the cold water again. The cold water depicted the emotions she had now: cold and disheartened.

She sniffed her nose slightly, looking at her delicate face in the mirror and laughing bitterly.

She did not think that the reason Elliot wanted her contact number was because of the fact that he was charmed by her appearance. She had been married to Henry for three years now. She was good at seeing through people now although she was not good at other things. Although Elliot seemed passionate, he was actually quite a ruthless man. He would not fall for an ordinary woman like her.

But he persisted in getting her contact number. She could not help but wonder whether he had some kinds of schemes in mind.

When she thought about that, she took a piece of tissue paper from the tissue dispenser beside her and wiped her hands clean. She was about to head back to the private room and tell Henry about her doubt.

But when she stepped out of the washroom, a figure rushed toward her all of a sudden. He pinned her against the wall.
