Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 140

"It was just on the way," Henry replied faintly, taking off his tie.

Yvonne swiftly put down the cake and hugged him from the back. "Henry, thank you. I'm very happy.”

She rested her face against his back and had her eyes closed, a sweet smile hanging on her face. So what if it was bought on the way? He had brought the cake back himself.

Moreover, he did promise to gift her a cake and he kept his promise. He remembered it and she was ecstatic.

Not expecting Yvonne to hug him, Henry froze slightly. "Let go!" i

He pressed his lips together before uttering the two words in a low tone.

Afraid of angering him, Yvonne reluctantly loosened her arms and took a step back to reinsert distance between them.

Henry glanced at her with an unnamed emotion flashing across his eyes before heading upstairs.

Looking at his back, Yvonne felt her face blushing. She did not know where she got the courage to throw herself on him just now either. What delighted her was that he did not push her away, i

"Madam." Sue came back from hanging the linen outside and was curious when she saw Yvonne wringing the hem of her clothes bashfully. "Madam, what are you doing?"

Yvonne snapped out of her reverie nervously and averted her gaze. "No-nothing."

"Nothing? Why are you all flushed then?" Sue stared at her face.

Yvonne's hands went to pat her cheeks. "Am I?"

"Of course. You’re crimson red. Are you having a fever?" Sue said and worriedly placed a palm on her forehead.

Yvonne peeled Sue's hand off. "No, Sue, I don't have a fever. Keep this in the fridge for me."

She placed the cake on the couch into Sue’s hands.

The latter looked at the item skeptically. "What’s this?"

"Lake," Yvonne answered.

Sue was even more skeptical. "We don't have cake at home. I didn’t manage to buy it in time. Did you buy it yourself, madam?"

"No, Henry gave it to me.” Yvonne pointed upstairs.

Sue followed her finger and was struck with realization before she smirked at her, "Sir is back huh? That’s why you were acting that way, madam. Sir must have done something to you and you blushed from being shy, yeah?"

With Sue bringing up what happened just now, Yvonne looked away weakly. "Nothing like that. Sue, g o refrigerate the cake now."

It was not what Henry did to her, but more like what she did to Henry.

"Okay, okay. I'll go do it now. It’s about time too. What would you like to have, madam? I'll go prepare it," Sue asked while checking the time.

Yvonne gave it a thought. "Sue, I'll prepare the meal today."

"You?" Sue was slightly astonished.

Yvonne nodded. "It's my birthday today. I want to cook personally and let Henry have a taste of it. We've been married for three years but I've never prepared a meal for him before."

Recovering from her astonishment, Sue smiled kindly. "Sure. I’ll help you prepare the ingredients."

"Okay. Go to the kitchen first, Sue. I'll ask Henry what h e wants to eat." Yvonne made her way upstairs.

Returning to the room and seeing that no one was inside, she headed for the study room.

"Henry." Yvonne knocked.

The man was going through some documents when h e heard Yvonne’s voice, replying without lifting his head, "Come in."

Granted entry, Yvonne asked, "Henry, what would you like to have today?" "Anything's fine," said man indifferently.

Yvonne thought about it. "I'll prepare a few of my best dishes then. I hope you don’t mind."

Henry, who had been twirling his pen, stopped his ministration. "You?"

"Yup." Yvonne nodded.

"Where's Sue?" Henry pressed his lips together.

"I wanted to cook. It's got nothing to do with Sue," Yvonne explained with a wave.
