Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 17

Yvonne couldn’t help but smile at the thought of that a s she took her bath a lot quicker than usual.

By the time she came out from the bathroom, there was no sight of Henry in the room, only the coat he had casually thrown on the sofa.

"Where did he go?” Yvonne mumbled to herself. She adjusted her bathrobes, then went out of the bedroom.

Sue was still sweeping the floor in the living room downstairs and greeted Yvonne warmly when she saw her coming down the stairs. "Madam.”

"Sue, have you seen Henry?” Yvonne clutched the collar of her bathrobe and asked.

Sue paused her work to answer, "I did. Mr. Lancaster just went out.”

"Went out?” Yvonne raised her eyebrow in surprise.

Where was he going at this hour?

Sue nodded. "Yes, he received a phone call and then left hurriedly. You didn't know, madam?”

Yvonne forced a smile but was unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes. "He didn’t tell me...”

"Then it was probably some urgent matter and he didn't have time to inform you. Don't think too much about it, madam.”

"I know. I'll return to my room now."

Yvonne turned around and slowly went up the stairs with her hand on the railing.

She laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze until her eyes got tired. She turned to her side and picked up the phone next to her pillow. It was ten minutes to half-past ten.

At this point, Yvonne wasn't even sure if Henry would be coming back tonight.

Since he was always a man of his word, he would probably be back.

Yvonne sat up on the bed, then grabbed the novel that she always read from the bedside table. While waiting for Henry's return, she read the book to keep herself occupied.

By the time she was fighting to stay awake, Henry still wasn’t back so she gave up and turned in for the night.

When she woke up the next day, the other side of the bed was cold. The pillow was still neatly arranged. She could tell at first glance that no one had laid in it.

So Henry didn't return at all last night?

Yvonne bit her lips, feeling upset. After washing up, she went downstairs. She set her cutlery down after taking a few bites of her breakfast and went to work.
