Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 13

"Henry, why did you give my mom that much money?" Yvonne cautiously asked as both of them descended the stairs.

Why did he give that much money?

Was it to show that he cared for her, or was he just used to measuring someone's worth with money?

"No particular reason."

Henry's attitude remained indifferent. After ordering her to get in the car and fasten her seatbelt, he started the car with his eyebrows knitted together all this while, i

Looking back at it now, his action was indeed not within his expectations.

In fact, he was rather surprised to find that he would actually be a little angry at a greedy and biased woman like Mrs. Frey.

As for the extra money... he would just give it away to make up for Yvonne.

"But..."

Yvonne wanted to say something else, but swallowed her words along with the guilt in her throat when she saw the expression on his face.

After receiving so much money for no reason, she didn't know how to make up for it.

When they returned home, Henry just told her to rest more then went out again shortly later.

Feeling extremely flustered, she ended up tossing and turning all night on the bed, unable to get a wink of sleep.

The next morning, Yvonne got up from the bed with panda eyes. 3

She thought about it all night. It would seem like she could only pay the seven hundred thousand dollars back by working a lifetime for Henry.

"Madam, the breakfast has been prepared. Are you awake?" Sue's voice came from the other side of the door.

"Yes Sue, I’m coming now."

Yvonne quickly got up, washed up and changed her clothes. By the time she got downstairs, Henry was already seated at the dining table eating his breakfast.

She subconsciously slowed down a little.

The relationship between her and Henry seemed to have suddenly changed from husband and wife to that of a creditor and debtor, though they had never been like a married couple in the first place. 2

Henry only cast a glance upstairs and didn’t pay much attention to her. After he was done with breakfast, he stood up and wiped his hands clean with a napkin." I'll wait for you outside,” he told her with his usual dull voice. 2 "Alright, I'll be done soon!"

Yvonne didn't dare to let him wait too long. She shoved her breakfast down and hurriedly went out.

Henry dropped her off at the same intersection as agreed previously.

Yvonne quickly strode to her workplace and was about to punch in for work when she overheard her colleagues' discussion next to her.
