Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 126

Yvonne laid down anxiously. She had lost all her drowsiness. Her eyes were wide open as countless thoughts raced through her mind.

She didn't even know how long it took before some of the drowsiness returned to her again.

Letting out a yawn, she turned to the side and fell asleep with her back facing Henry.

For the next two days, Yvonne tried to come up with some other reasons to deny Henry. In the end, Henry either went to bed first or came back very late and showed no intention of doing anything with her before she could even use any of her excuses.

This left her feeling both relieved and a little flustered.

She was flustered because she had no idea if he was still upset about being rejected two days ago.

Yet at the same time, she didn't dare to ask him either!

"Mr. Lancaster, this is the information you requested." Yvonne stood at Henry's desk and submitted the documents to him with both hands.

"Just put them down there," the man responded without even looking at her.

"Alright," Yvonne set the documents down on the empty space to his right, then stood still there.

Although Henry was focused on his work, he could still easily detect her movements from the corner of his eye.

He stopped typing, then turned his head to look at her, "Why are you still here?"

"I have something to say," she gripped the hem of her blouse.

He leaned back in his chair, "What is it?"

"It's Lyn's birthday today, so I may not come back," she said.

Henry frowned at her, "Not coming back?"

"Yeah," Yvonne nodded.

The man pursed his thin lips. "You're planning to stay a night out?"

"No, I'll be sleeping over at Lyn’s house."

"No!" Henry denied her request.

Yvonne was slightly taken aback, "Why?"

"Why do you need to stay over at someone else’s home? It’s not like you don't have a home." Henry's face darkened.

Yvonne bit her lip, "But Lyn's birthday party is at night and it will definitely end late. I'm only staying over because it would be difficult to hail a cab home at that time." "No way," Henry continued denying her request.

She was growing impatient, "So you want me to come back in the middle of the night?”

"I'll pick you up," he crossed his arms.

His response surprised her. "You’ll pick me up?"

"Where is her place?" He asked instead of answering her.

Yvonne recited the address of Lynette’s house in a daze.

"Got it, I'll call you at ten in the evening. You may leave now," he dismissed her with a wave of his hand after getting the address.

She skipped her way out like she was stepping on clouds. The situation felt so unreal to her.

He was going to pick her up?

Was he worried for her safety, or that she wouldn’t manage to hail a cab to come back?

Yvonne turned her head around and glanced at the door to the CEO’s office. She couldn’t stop a smile from blooming across her face as sweetness filled her heart.

Although she didn't know if her guesses were correct, there was nothing else to stop her from thinking that way. i

Yvonne returned to her office, sat on her chair, and then spun around twice in excitement.

However, her excitement didn't last long as it was quickly interrupted by a phone call.

It was an unfamiliar number, but from the same city. Yvonne hesitated for a while before deciding to answer the call. "Hello, this is Yvonne Frey speaking.”

She even wondered if it was a marketing call.

"Hello, Yvonne. This is Elliot Taylor." A charming voice came through from the other end of the line.

She was taken aback, "Why do you have my number?"
