Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 111

She turned around to see both Henry and Joe lagging behind.

Henry heard her voice. He looked up at her but made n o reply. He averted his gaze and continued talking with Joe. "I want you to hire somebody to keep a close eye on Elliot." i

"Alright." Joe nodded. "But Mr. Lancaster, I think what madam said just now in the car is indeed logical. If it's true that the Taylor Group wants to get revenge on us b y cooperating with us intentionally because of that piece of land, we need to take precautions beforehand. It could help us prevent them from pulling any kinds o f tricks later on during the process."

"I'm aware of that. You just need to keep an eye on Elliot from time to time. I doubt that he might have some other schemes in mind." Henry narrowed his charming eyes.

Joe was confused. "Why do you think so?"

"I’m thinking about how he asked for Yvonne’s contact number this morning. I'm trying to link that incident to the information you gathered tonight."

"So do you think that Elliot is trying to start with madam?"

Henry replied softly that it was indeed what he was thinking about.

Joe replied seriously. "Alright, I’ll hire somebody to keep a close eye on him all the time. Do I need to report this incident to the master?"

"It’s unnecessary. If you tell him about it, he might think about my father, and he’ll certainly be grieved about it." Henry lowered his eyes, trying to hide the emotions as he spoke calmly.

Joe nodded slightly. "Alright."

"You may leave now." Henry waved his hand and asked him to leave. Then, he strode away.

Yvonne was still standing there waiting for him. When he approached her, she could not help but ask him, "Why didn’t Mr. Woods stay?"

"He's not a Lancaster," Henry replied.

Only then did Yvonne remember the rule in which only the Lancasters or those who were related by blood with the Lancasters could enter the family residence.

"I almost forgot about it." She scratched her head apologetically.

Henry did not want to blame her. He took the initiative and held her hand. "Lome, Grandpa is waiting for us."

"Alright!" Yvonne nodded firmly, looking at their clasped hands and his tall figure from the back. She could not help but smile in contentment.

He took the initiative and held her hand. 1

At that moment, Yvonne felt that her steps were light, just like she was stepping on the clouds. It appeared like some kind of fantasy for her.

But she could clearly feel the warmth emitted from his hand. It proved to her that it was not a fantasy.

Henry led Yvonne into the hall in that manner.

The master used the walking stick to support himself and sat in the living room. There was a smile on his solemn face when he saw them coming toward her." Here you are."

"Grandpa." Henry nodded slightly.

Yvonne greeted him too. "Grandpa."

"Good. Let's take a seat.” Looking at them hold each other's hands, the master was filled with a sense of satisfaction.

Yvonne was pulled by Henry to sit just beside the master.

After she took her seat, Henry let go of her and held up a cup of tea beside him and took a sip.

Yvonne felt slightly disappointed when she realized that he had let go of her hand.

But that disappointment soon disappeared in a second. In fact, she knew that it was impossible for Henry to hold her hand all the time even though

Henry wanted to put on a show before the master. He wanted to appear lovey-dovey with Yvonne before the master.

So she was quite satisfied with that short moment she had just now.

"Yvonne.” The master turned to look at her all of a sudden.

Yvonne suppressed her inner thoughts and stood up." Yes? Are you talking to me, Grandpa?"

"Please do sit down.” The master waved his hand." This is your home too. Why are you being so self-conscious? Sit down and talk."

Yvonne did not dare to disobey him. She then sat down again.

The master smiled. "Did Sue tell you about the rules you need to keep in mind for tomorrow's occasion?"

"Yes, she did," Yvonne replied. "Not only her, but

Henry taught me some of the rules too."

"Oh?” The master looked at Henry in surprise. "Henry, i s that true?"

Henry raised his eyebrows. "Not really."

He only told her about the rules which she did not have to adhere to. It was not like he was teaching her about the rules.
