Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 119

"I'm having lunch outside with a friend," Yvonne answered honestly.

Henry frowned. "Which friend?"

"It's Lyn."

The frown on Henry unraveled. "Are you done?"

"Not yet. Food's just been served. Is something the matter?" Yvonne asked.

"There's one thing.” Henry pressed his lips together.

"Tell me then." Yvonne went to a corner and squatted down.

Henry was suddenly quiet. When Yvonne waited it out but did not hear him say anything, she spoke in puzzlement, "Henry, are you still there?”

"I'm here," he replied.

Yvonne wore a smile. "Tell me what’s the matter. I'm listening."

"There's no rush. Have your lunch first. I'll pick you up after that."

"Pick me up?"

"Mm." "No, no, there's no need." Yvonne was quick to refuse.

Henry's face sank. "Why? Can’t I be seen?"

He had taken the initiative to suggest picking her up yet this was her attitude?

"No, it's just that Lynette might see you if you pick me up. She'll suspect our relationship then, so..."

"I won't come down from the car!" Henry cut her off.

Yvonne was unable to find any excuse to refuse him." I see. Alright then."

"Address!” Henry muttered.

Yvonne turned to check the restaurant's signage and told him the location.

With a hum, the man hung up.

Throughout the phone call, he did not say why he had called her. Yvonne sighed softly looking at the dimmed screen and went back to the restaurant after pocketing her phone.

Lynette was already eating. When she saw Yvonne sitting down, she scooted close to her with a face full o f anticipation for gossip. "Why is your husband looking for you?"

"He's asking where I am," Yvonne answered, simply picking up her spoon.

Lynette quivered. "Gosh, I feel goosebumps. It's not even been three hours since you came out and he already misses you?"

Yvonne smiled without answering. Henry missed her? It was impossible.

He would only look for her if he needed her.

"Oh ho, look at you not responding. Are you afraid that I, a bachelorette, would get disgusted?" Lynette asked with a pout.

Yvonne cut her a slice of beef. "Enough, stuff your face with food. Let's hurry up and eat. The sun will set by the time we go back.”

"Okay, okay. I know that you're in a hurry to go back and meet your man,” Lynette teased.

The corners of Yvonne's lips twitched. "I'm ignoring you. Eat. I’m starving.”

She helped herself with the dishes.

The restaurant's food was delectable. Even when Yvonne thought that she had lost her appetite, she could not help herself with a second serving and successfully stuffed herself full.

When they left the restaurant, Lynette even helped her out.

"Hop on, I'll send you back.” Lynette swung her car key.

Yvonne refused with thanks. "My husband’s picking m e up."

Lynette’s eyes glimmered. "Your husband?"

Did that mean that she could finally see her best friend's mysterious husband?

Yvonne knew what the girl was thinking with just a glance at her expression. It was unfortunate that she would not be able to get even a glimpse.

"Yup, my husband,” Yvonne nodded.

"Where is he? Is he here already?" Lynette looked around eagerly.
