Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 132

It was Jacqueline who called.

Since Henry had made it clear to Jacqueline, the latter would call her time and time again either to question her or ask her about Henry's whereabouts.

Yvonne was annoyed by it and never really picked up her calls. This time, it was the same. She let the phone ring for a while before sliding the hang-up button to cut the call. Thinking that Jacqueline would stop calling her after being hung up like usual, Yvonne's phone rang again after ten seconds or so.

She grimaced and answered it after a moment of hesitation. "Miss Conrad, how can I help you?" Her tone was frosty.

Jacqueline sounded jolly on the other end of the line." Yvonne Frey, you must be dismayed, huh?"

"What?" Yvonne frowned. Why did she not understand a word?

"I mean, Henry left you in the middle of the night yesterday to accompany me in the hospital. You must be saddened, right?" Jacqueline repeated herself, her tone taunting.

Yvonne was astounded. "Henry went to the hospital last night?” "Ah, so you didn't know? Henry didn't tell you?"

Jacqueline gasped.

Yvonne clenched her phone without a reply.

She knew now that Henry had left in a hurry last night to accompany Jacqueline in the hospital. Why did he not tell her the truth? Feeling a pang in her heart, Yvonne bit her lips ruthlessly.

After a long silence from Yvonne, Jacqueline could imagine what she must be feeling after thinking about it for a moment and chirped, "Ah, so Miss Frey, you really didn’t know? Right, why would Henry tell you where he's going anyway? You probably didn't know. Henry's been keeping me company in the hospital every day recently."

"Every day?" Yvonne paled.

So Henry had been going to the hospital daily?

"Yes, he’s been coming over daily. He went back late last night, didn't he? Because I didn't allow him to go," Jacqueline cackled.

There was a quiver in Yvonne's hand that held her phone as she believed Jacqueline’s words without a doubt. The latter knew that he had come home late and even left in the middle of the night. It must be true then - Henry had gone to spend time with Jacqueline.

The question was, why?

Yvonne’s eyes rimmed red, her heart felt like needles were piercing it.

Henry had told her that he would not be seeing Jacqueline if it was not necessary, but not only did he not speak about going to her these two days, he even went over in the middle of the night. Coupled with Jacqueline’s lively voice right now, what could actually happen to her?!

Why was Henry lying to her?

"Miss Frey?" Jacqueline wore a smirk. "Why aren’t you talking? Is it because you’ve gotten angry over what I said?"

Yvonne snapped out of her thoughts and pressed her lips together. "Miss Conrad, are you calling me to tell m e these things?"

"Yes. I want to let you know who between us is the most important to him, and that your husband will pick me over you," Jacqueline preened.

Feeling a painful throb in her heart, Yvonne was emotionless. "Really? So? Even if you’re the most important one to Henry, you're still the past to him. I’m his wife and Grandpa's given me the jade pendant. My name is recorded in the family tree as well. This is the undeniable truth."

Jacqueline's smile froze, replaced by deep jealousy and resentment. "So what if that old thing gave you the pendant? So what if you're in the family tree?

Don't you forget, once that old thing dies, Henry is the head of the Lancasters. It’s a walk in the park if he wants to take back the pendant and remove your name from the family tree then." "Henry won't do that!" Yvonne said resolutely.
