Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 124

Yvonne turned her head and looked at the hospital door behind her. "I... I'm at home."

She couldn't tell Henry that she was at the hospital. Otherwise, he would have thought that she had gone t o see Shane.

If she said that she hadn't seen Shane, he might not believe it. But if Joe came to the hospital and found out that she went to the OB-GYN department, her pregnancy would be exposed.

She wasn't planning to tell Henry yet. She wanted to wait for her birthday to surprise him and his grandfather since her birthday and Lynette's were very close to each other just a few days apart.

Just when Yvonne least expected it, Henry immediately exposed her lie. "At home? Sue said that you went out and now you’re telling me that you're at home?"

'Since when did this woman start lying to me!'

'Lying right to my face!'

Yvonne's face changed. "You... you asked Sue?"

"What else could it be?" Henry replied coldly.

Yvonne's tongue was tied. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied."

"Tell me the truth now. Where did you go?" Henry asked again.

Yvonne looked at Lynette who was oddly staring at her. "I'm somewhere outside with my friend. She's not feeling well."

"You told Mr. Woods that you had to take leave because you’re not feeling well. Yvonne Frey, which is the truth?" Henry’s voice fell.

Right after his meeting when he heard Yvonne wasn't feeling well, he immediately called the villa and asked Sue about Yvonne’s condition.

Sue said that Yvonne went out, so he could only call Yvonne. Little did he know that Yvonne lied to him.

And yet he was worried about her all the time!

Yvonne knew that Henry was really angry. She bit her lips and said, "I’m sorry. I didn't mean to lie. I was afraid that you wouldn’t allow me to excuse myself from work if I told you I have to accompany my friends. That's why..."

"Alright then. So who are you with?" Henry interrupted her.

Yvonne replied in a low voice, "I only have one friend."

Henry understood and pursed his thin lips. "Go home early once you're done."

Yvonne's eyes brightened. "You're not mad at me anymore?"

Henry snorted and hung up the phone without answering her.

"What does he want? Is he mad at me?" Yvonne muttered while she put her phone away.

Lynette leaned over. "Was it your husband?"

"Yes."

"Well, since it's your husband, why are you talking behind my back secretly? Are you afraid that I might overhear your conversation?" Lynette narrowed her eyes.

Yvonne touched her nose. "You guessed it right."

She was really afraid that Lynette would hear Henry's voice.

And by that time, she will find out that Henry was actually Yvonne’s husband.

"Ugh. I don't even want to listen to it." Lynette hummed, pretending to be uninterested.

If Lynette wasn't grunting with her eyes, Yvonne would have believed her.

"Alright. So you don't want to listen to it right?" Yvonne asked awkwardly.

Lynette pouted her lips. "Yvonne, you said that your friend isn't feeling well and you have to accompany her. Is that friend me?" "Yes." Yvonne proudly admitted.

Lynette touched her chin. "Why didn't you tell him the truth?"

"Because I don't want him to know that I'm pregnant. Didn’t I say I want to surprise him? That’s why I could only use you as a shield for now. I'm sorry, Lyn," Yvonne said apologetically.

Lynette waved her hands. "Oh, I wasn't blaming you. I was just curious about why you'd lie. Alright then.

Let's go back. I have to get back to work this afternoon."

"Sure." Yvonne nodded.

Lynette drove by herself. So Yvonne asked Lynette to drop her off at the station near the villa before leaving.

Yvonne returned to the villa and Sue hurriedly greeted her. "Madam, you're back."

"What’s the matter?" Yvonne put her bag down.

Sue stared at Yvonne’s belly. "Of course I'm anxious to know the results of your examination. Madam, what are the results? Are you pregnant?"
