Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 109

She indeed thought that there was something wrong with how Elliot behaved. She believed in love at first sight, but she did not think that the same thing had happened to Elliot.

Even though he indeed fell in love with her at first sight, she wondered why he did not ask for her contact number there and then. Why did he ask for it now? She rejected him directly, but he still persisted i n his attempts. It proved that he indeed had a scheme i n mind.

Besides, she was unsure whether she had misunderstood Elliot. She felt that the way he looked a t her was rather strange, just like he was looking at his prey.

"You don't have to tell me about it as I've decided to do so too," Henry replied and took out his phone. He then dialed Joe's number.

"Investigate Elliot from the Taylor Group. I want to know every detail about him," he commanded.

By the way, it seemed like Elliot appeared all of a sudden.

He was not the previous CEO of the Taylor Group. He was only appointed a few months ago. Moreover, it seemed like nobody knew who he was and anything about his previous life before he was appointed as

CEO.

That was why people became suspicious of him.

"Alright, Mr. Lancaster,” Joe replied.

After he hung up the phone, he threw the phone aside and started the engine. He then sent Yvonne back to the villa.

He drove his car and left the minute they reached the villa. He did not even tell her where he was heading.

At first, Yvonne wanted to ask him about it. But he said nothing all the way home, so she knew that he was still angry.

She felt that she was being treated unfairly. She never expected to receive a sudden confession just like that.

Moreover, that confession seemed so strange to her.

"Madam, did you quarrel with the master?" Sue held some clothes in her hand and walked toward Yvonne. She could not help but ask Yvonne when she saw her gloomy facial expression.

Yvonne shook her head slightly. "We didn't quarrel. It's just that we didn't have a pleasant day."

"Could you tell me about it?" Sue sat down beside her.

Yvonne thought for a while and promised to tell her about the incident. Then, she told her about each and every single thing that happened at the hotel.

After listening to Yvonne, Sue was silent for a few seconds. "Does Mr. Taylor really admire you? I don't dare to make a rash conclusion on that. But from what I've gathered, the master seemed to be jealous about i t."

"Jealous?" Yvonne nearly choked on her own saliva.

Sue nodded, "That’s right. I feel that he seemed to be jealous."

"How is that possible?" Yvonne waved her hands immediately. "He doesn't like me. How would he be jealous?" i

She did hope that Henry would be jealous as it would signify that he liked her.

But Yvonne did not think that Henry was jealous given how he behaved and acted just now.

Sue noticed that Yvonne did not believe what she said. She laughed faintly. "It’s normal even if you don't believe it given his characteristics. It's impossible for him to be jealous like other men."

"Sue, don't try to lighten my mood. Henry was not jealous. He was just annoyed at somebody trying to snatch away his belongings." Yvonne pursed her lips bitterly. 1

No man could accept other men confessing their feelings toward his wife, even if he did not love her.

It might be the same case for Henry. What Elliot did at that time was just like trying to ask her to cheat on Henry. It would be strange if Henry was not angry about it.

When she thought about that, she sighed. She then glanced at Sue’s knees. "Sue, whose clothes are these?"

"I almost forgot about it. They are yours." Sue stood up and showed her the clothes.

Yvonne followed suit and stood up too. "Mine?"

"Yes, it’s for the occasion tomorrow, honoring the ancestors. Try them on and see whether they fit you. If not, we can still make some slight changes." Sue unbuttoned the clothes.

Yvonne complied and wore the vintage style black suit with Sue's help. She then turned around. "Sue, what do you think? I still feel that it's kind of strange."

Sue helped to smooth her clothes and asked, "How so?"

Yvonne thought about it. "I don't know. It might be because of my temperament.”

"Yes, it’s normal.” Sue understood it immediately." This suit represents solemnity, and it's the total opposite of your characteristics. That's why you feel that it doesn't suit you well. It's fine though since you're only going to wear it for a day."

"Yes. I'll take off the clothes now and wear them tomorrow." Yvonne took off the clothes.

Sue helped fold the clothes nicely. Then, she glanced a t the time. "Madam, are you hungry? I've cooked a bowl of chicken soup in the kitchen."

When Yvonne heard that, she touched her stomach.

She did feel that she was hungry now.

Sue then put down the clothes and went to the kitchen to get the soup for her.
