Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 139

Henry got up. "I'm fine. Come, let’s have dinner now."

Clearly, he did not want to talk about it.

Yvonne was slightly disappointed. She forced a smile and followed closely behind him. "Henry, you don't have to be like this. If something's wrong, you can tell me about it. If you keep all of those things in your heart, you might suffer miserably."

Henry stopped walking all of a sudden. His facial expression worsened. "I told you. Nothing happened. Don't say things like this anymore!"

He sounded slightly harsh.

Yvonne was shocked, and her face paled.

She did not know why he was infuriated all of a sudden.

She thought about it for a while. It seemed like she had said nothing wrong.

Yvonne felt like she was wronged, but she could only keep quiet as she saw how Henry reacted. She did not dare to speak anymore.

They ate their meals in silence. After that, Henry went upstairs.

Yvonne sat down on the sofa in the living room, daydreaming. Sue served her a glass of milk. "Madam,

is Mr. Lancaster feeling angry again?"

"Yes, I infuriated him." Yvonne received the milk from her and smiled bitterly.

Sue was puzzled. "How did you infuriate him?"

Yvonne shook her head and told Sue what happened just now.

After Sue listened to her, she was still confused." Madam, you said nothing strange. Why is he angry?"

"I’m upset because I don’t even know why. I feel like it’s becoming harder to guess his mood and thoughts now. Besides, recently I always feel that he seems to have something to talk to me about, but he always shrinks from it.” Yvonne touched her chin and analyzed the situation.

Sue nodded. ”1 cannot seem to see through his mood now. Madam, you don't know what happened that day. The day before yesterday, I delivered tea to him. D o you know what I overheard?"

Yvonne tilted her head to the side. "What?"

"I heard him talking to someone on the phone. He even told the person on the other end of the phone that he would find a chance to discuss it with you." Sue replied.

"Discuss it with me?” Yvonne pointed at herself.

Sue replied. "Yes, that's right. Mr. Lancaster said so." "Then did you hear what he’s going to discuss with m e?" "Not really. He stopped talking the minute he saw me.” Sue shrugged her shoulders apologetically.

Yvonne appeared disappointed. "I see. Then do you know who he was talking with on the phone at the time?"

"I don't know about that either,” Sue replied.

Yvonne sighed. "How mysterious! It seems like this is indeed the thing which Henry wants to tell me about, but he's avoiding the topic. I just don't know what it i s."

"Madam, you don't have to be nervous. Since he said that he wants to discuss it with you, he certainly can't avoid it for long. He'll discuss it with you sooner or later." Sue consoled her.

Yvonne pursed her lips. "I hope so. Sue, I’m going upstairs now.”

"Go ahead. Sleep early." Sue took the empty glass from her and smiled as she nodded.

Yvonne went upstairs. She threw a glance at the study before she opened the door to the bedroom and entered it.

She was slightly exhausted, and she fell asleep after a short while.

She was sleeping soundly when Henry returned to the bedroom.

He stood beside the bed and looked at her condescendingly. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

It had been many days now. He still had not broken the news to her that Jackie was going to need another surgery.

He could not bring himself to reveal it to her.

Every time he was about to tell her the truth, he would be hurt by her seemingly naive and clear eyes. Then, h e would find himself unable to do such a vicious thing. The most sarcastic thing was, he was suffering from a tinge of excruciating pain when he thought about the consequences if she donated her bone marrow to Jackie again. Her body condition would deteriorate vigorously.

Henry sat down at the side of the bed, stretched his hand out, and smoothed her hair back which fell loosely on her face. Her delicate face was exposed to him entirely.

He looked at her for a very long time. Only then did he get up to go to the bathroom.

After a few days, it was Yvonne’s birthday. It was a weekend too. Surprisingly, she woke up early in the morning.

Sue was slightly surprised to see her up so early in the morning. "Madam, why don't you sleep in a bit?" "I couldn't," Yvonne replied with a smile.

She was slightly excited since the previous night.
