Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 138

Yvonne stopped walking all of a sudden. She warned him with a darkened face, "My husband treats me very well! Please don't spread any rumors here, Mr. Taylor!"

"Does he treat you well?" Elliot sneered in contempt. "S o it seems like treating you well entails abusing you emotionally, refusing to reveal your identity to the public, and using your bone marrow to save his first love. Yvonne, your love is just too cheap.”

Yvonne paled at that. She opened her mouth slightly, eager to explain herself, but she found herself speechless all of a sudden.

It was because she knew that he was right subconsciously.

In her relationship with Henry, she was always the one who poured her heart out to him. She was always the one who made sacrifices, but Henry was always the same, treating her coldly.

Even so, she still loved him blindly. She had indeed succumbed to a low state.

Elliot knew that he had hurt her at her most painful spot when he received no response from her. He smirked inevitably. "Yvonne, I might sound harsh, but I feel that you don't have to love Mr. Lancaster so blindly. He doesn't deserve your love. Unrequited love and a man who cannot return your love will have nothing but pain for you at the end."

"So what?" Yvonne looked toward the company firmly.

Even if there was nothing but pain for her, she was more than willing to endure it.

Besides, she knew that it would not hurt that much.

Elliot looked at Yvonne as she seemed to hold onto her resolution firmly, crashing down the hill if she had to. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Yvonne, you're indeed quite naive. Do you know what kind of pain I'm talking about right now? It might be so intense that it'll be unendurable for you."

"Unendurable? What do you mean?" Yvonne was slightly stunned.

Elliot gave her a mysterious smile without saying anything. Then, he drove away directly.

Yvonne looked at him as his car disappeared from her sight. Unknowingly, she felt that his smile was quite frightening, and it unsettled her.

Yvonne reached the company with heavy feelings. The moment she entered the lobby, she heard some employees exclaiming how handsome someone was.

Yvonne was puzzled. She grabbed one of them casually. "What are you talking about? Who is the handsome guy?"

"We're talking about Mr. Taylor from the Taylor Group," the person replied.

Yvonne let go of her. Soon, she got the whole picture.

It seemed that Elliot had come to the company after all.

She indeed wondered about the reason she bumped into him there at the junction just now.

"Okay, thank you." Yvonne turned and walked into the elevator.

When she reached the top floor of the company, she saw Elliot and Henry leaving the CEO's office one after another.

Elliot saw her too. He smiled and winked at her. "Hey, Miss Frey! Good morning!"

Yvonne’s lips twitched slightly. She condemned his acting skills in her heart.

They met each other a while back, but Elliot could act as if he had just met her there and then. He was indeed a hypocrite.

However, Yvonne could only put on a show too since Elliot took the initiative to do so. She was worried that Henry might have a misunderstanding about them.

"Good morning, Mr. Lancaster." She greeted Elliot before she turned to look at Henry. "Mr. Lancaster, I'll return to the office now." 1

"Alright," Henry nodded.

Yvonne held her bag tighter, passed by them, and returned to her office.

She did not come to work the previous day. Now, there was loads of work waiting for her there.

She did not dare to waste any more time. She soon switched on the computer after she put her bag down. Then, she began working.

She was so busy that she was only able to take a break at noon.

"Yvonne." Lynette opened the door and entered the office. "Are you done with your work?"

Yvonne turned her stiff neck around. "Almost. Why did you come up here?"

"I’m here to give you something." Then, she took a big bag from behind her and put it on the table.

Yvonne widened her eyes. “What's this?"

"These are the local specialties from my hometown. M y mom asked me to present them to you as a form of gratitude for you and your husband." Lynette poured herself a glass of water as she replied to Yvonne.

Yvonne opened the bag and peeked inside.

Surprisingly, there were some rare delicacies in the bag. She had only tried some of them, and there were some which she had never tried before.

"There are so many." Yvonne was too stunned that she could not speak much.
