Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 128

"Of course I am." Yvonne chomped on the cake," Because it's from you."

"It's not from me. It's from your friend," Henry corrected her.

Yvonne rolled her eyes at him. "Lyn gave this to you and you gave it to me, so it’s from you."

"You're this happy to receive a slice of cake from me?" Henry raised his eyebrow.

She licked the mousse on her lips, "Yup."

There was nothing happier than receiving something from a loved one.

"Then on your birthday, I’ll have Joe order you a cake. When will that be?" Henry asked casually while turning the steering wheel.

The light in Yvonne's eyes dimmed. "You don't know my birthday?"

"Why should I?" Henry questioned back. 2

Yvonne was crestfallen. "True..."

Henry didn't even like her, so why should he remember about her birthday?

Even so, this still made her feel unpleasant in her heart.

She remembered everything about him, yet he didn't even know a single thing about her...

Yvonne sighed, losing her appetite. She returned the cake to the box and set it aside. "My birthday is in ten days."

"In ten days?" Henry was slightly surprised.

She hummed in response, "Yeah. What’s wrong?"

"Nothing.” The light in Henry’s eyes flickered as he suppressed his surprise.

He didn't expect that her birthday would so coincidentally fall on the same day as Jackie’s. 1

"Henry, will you be able to spend time with me on my birthday?" Yvonne clasped her hands tightly together as she looked at the man, who was obviously deep in his thoughts, with hope in her eyes.

The man frowned, "With you?”

"Well, I want to spend one birthday with you and I also have good news for you on that day," she touched her belly.

Since Henry was driving, he didn't see her action." What good news?"

"I can't tell you now. Wait till my birthday!" Yvonne smiled.

Henry pressed his lips, "Alright." "So it’s a promise?" Yvonne was so nervous that she even stopped breathing.

Henry lowered his gaze and replied faintly, "Didn't you have good news to tell me? Just don't forget about it o n that day."

"I won't!" Yvonne's eyes turned into crescents with her smile.

She understood what Henry was trying to say.

He had promised her that he would spend her birthday with her.

Yvonne bit her lip but failed to contain her giggles.

She was just too excited!

Henry was driving when he suddenly heard her giggles. He glanced sideways at her, unable to understand her excitement over the fact that he was just going to spend her birthday with her.

Truth be told, even Henry didn't know why he made that promise.

However, her reaction made him conclude that it wasn't a bad decision.

"One more thing," he said suddenly.

The smile on Yvonne's face faded, "What's the matter?"

"Your etiquette coach will be here tomorrow. I hope you'll study hard, especially ballroom etiquette. I'll be attending a charity ball next month and you'll be coming along as my wife. I hope you'll be able to use proper etiquette."

"As... As your wife?” Yvonne stuttered nervously.

Henry knitted his eyebrows together, "Is there any problem?"

"N-no problem, I’m just rather... rather..." She couldn't find the right adjective to express her feelings.

Henry wasn’t patient enough to listen to her stammering. "Enough. You'll be fine as long as you keep my words in mind."

"Yeah, I'll keep them in mind. But are you really planning to take me there?” Yvonne asked cautiously.

Henry's face turned cold. "You don't have to go if you don’t believe me."
