Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 131

"Go ahead and continue sleeping. I need to go out for a bit," Henry wore his tie while he answered softly.

All sense of sleep slipped away from Yvonne. "Where are you going?"

Without answering her, Henry had only given her a glance before turning to leave. The door was closed gently, leaving Yvonne alone in the silence of the room.

She curled up in bed with the blanket. It was warm but she still felt chilled.

She was cold on the outside, and it felt like the warmth in her heart had been sucked away.

Yvonne grabbed her phone on the nightstand to check and saw that it was not even four in the morning. Why was he leaving at this time? This seemed to be the first time that Henry had left without saying anything since he moved back. 1

Yvonne rested her chin on her knees, unable to figure i t out even after contemplating it.

Knocks were heard from the outside. Thinking that it was Henry who came back, she hopped off the bed speedily without slipping on her slippers. When she opened the door, however, all her delight froze on her face.

“Sue, why have you come up?" Yvonne moved away to let Sue in.

Sue scanned the room once she entered. “Madam, did you and sir argue?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

“I heard sir driving away and thought that he left after your fight, so I came up to check on you," Sue explained.

Yvonne made a loud "oh" of realization. “I see. But we really didn't fight."

"Then why's sir..."

"I don’t know either. I woke up from the noises of him wearing clothes and he said that he needed to go out for something,” Yvonne answered bitterly.

Sue narrowed her brows. "Sir didn’t say why he was going out?"

"I asked, he didn’t tell me." Yvonne shook her head with a dimmed gaze.

Sue was upset. "How could he do that, going out in the middle of the night without even a reason... Doesn't he know that you'll worry?"

"I'm already used to it." Yvonne chuckled wryly.

Sue sighed. "Don't be too sad, madam. I can call and ask sir about it." "No need. It’s obvious that he's unwilling to let me know when he didn't answer me from the start. It's no use asking him. Let it be, Sue. Go back to rest. I'd like t o sleep some more too." Yvonne rubbed her eyes.

Sue nodded. "Sure, then continue sleeping, madam. I'll head down now."

"Okay." Yvonne sent her to the door and closed it after she left.

It was just that she did not feel like sleeping anymore after lying back on the bed when she said that she wanted to catch some sleep just now.

For some unknown reason, she was very much affected by Henry leaving tonight. It left a bad taste in her mouth.

Barely catching any sleep, Yvonne spent the rest of the night spacing out sitting on the bed, dozing off at the crack of dawn. When she woke up, it was nearly nine in the morning.

Frantically washing up and getting herself prepared for work, she was mumbling, "Oh no, oh no, I’m gonna be late, I'm gonna be late..."

Sue slapped a hand over her mouth, chuckling, "Don’t panic, madam. I’ve called for the day off for you. You don’t have to go to work today." 1

"Called for the day off?" Yvonne froze in the middle of putting her shoes on.

Sue nodded. "Yeah. I saw the lights on in your room since sir left last night and thought that you mustn’t have slept well and wanted you to sleep longer, so I called Joe to apply for the day off for you.”

"What excuse did you use, Sue?” Yvonne asked nervously. Please don’t let it be her pregnancy...
