Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 187

Sue hurriedly wiped the tears off her eyes, "I'll get the door madam."

“Okay.” Yvonne nodded.

Sue walked to the door and opened it to find Frederick standing there. She smiled and welcomed him into the house.

"Is madam still here?" asked Frederick as he stepped inside.

Sue replied as she was following behind him, "Yes she is."

"That's good." Frederick let out a sigh of relief and hastened.

Despite his age, Frederick walked so fast others might mistake him for a young man.

"You’re here Frederick," greeted Yvonne warmly as she saw him walk in.

Frederick nodded with a smile. "I've been asked by the master to bring this to you madam."

"What is this?" asked Yvonne as Frederick handed her a file. She was clearly confused by the situation.

Frederick explained, "These are the compensations given by the master for your divorce. It includes a check of one million and five hundred thousand

dollars, a villa to the east of the city, and an empty shop lot."

A shiver ran down her spine as Yvonne heard the items that were being given to her. "This is too much. I cannot accept it!"

She waved her hands to reject the compensations.

She never expected the old man to heavily compensate her for her divorce. In fact, she never expected the old man to compensate at all.

When she got married three years ago, she signed a prenup stating that the Lancasters' wealth had nothing to do with her. This meant that if she were to file for a divorce, she was expected to leave the house empty-handed.

It was exactly because of this prenup that gave her the courage to print out the divorce papers herself. Never had she thought that the old man would've...

As she thought of this, her tears started to roll down her cheeks as she was deeply touched and grateful for his kindness. However, she clearly knew that she could not accept this kindness.

Frederick was a little surprised when Yvonne firmly rejected the offer although he had expected her to react that way. At the same time, he admired how the old man had been able to predict how the situation would’ve played out.

The old man was right. The little girl actually rejected the compensations.

However, his objective was to ensure that she accepted everything that was given to her as per the master's wishes.

"Madam, this is the master's wish. You must accept it. To the Lancasters, this amount is nothing but a speck of dust to them; moreover, it was the Lancasters who wronged you in the first place, and hence you should accept it so that the master feels less guilty.” Frederick held out the file to Yvonne again.

Not only did Yvonne refuse to accept the file, but she even started to take a few steps backward.

Sue had been a witness the entire time and grew impatient. She grabbed Yvonne's shoulders to stop her from retreating. "Madam, you should accept it as it is the master’s wish. He would feel uneasy if you refuse."

"Sue is right. Please, sign the acceptance papers, madam." Frederick gave Sue a smile to acknowledge her actions.

Yvonne bit her lip. Hesitation was written all over her face. "I really cannot accept these, Frederick, it's too much."

"Madam, this really is nothing to the Lancasters.

Didn't you hear what Frederick said? This is nothing but a speck of dust to them," Sue said as she grew impatient and pulled Yvonne’s hands.

"But..."

"Madam," said Frederick suddenly, interrupting before Yvonne could finish.

Yvonne looked at him and said, "Yes, Frederick?"

"Madam, you can treat this as compensation from the master for your unborn son or daughter. Although they are now gone from this world, they are and will always be a member of the Lancasters and shall not b e forgotten by the master. Hearing this, will you still refuse to accept?" asked Frederick with a deep smile.

Yvonne’s eyes darkened, and her voice croaked as she started to cry, "How could Grandpa still remember the child, while Henry..."

"It’s sir’s loss for not being able to see how blessed he i s," sighed Frederick.

Yvonne shook her head. “You’re wrong Frederick.
