No one answered, but the knocking continued.
The constant knocking gave Yvonne a headache. She hammered her head in chagrin and simply put on her clothes. Then, she got out of her bed to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she was hugged tightly before she could even recognize the guest.
"Madam, I've missed you so much," Sue said excitedly.
Yvonne was stunned and quickly pushed her away. She looked at her in disbelief. "S-Sue?"
"It's me, madam," Sue smiled and nodded.
Yvonne was surprised and she gulped audibly, "Why are you here?"
"Sir brought me here," Sue said while pointing to the back.
Yvonne immediately had a bad feeling when she saw Sue's action. "Is Henry here too?"
"Yes." Sue nodded.
Yvonne went past Sue right away and looked behind her.
As expected, a tall figure standing not far away was looking towards her direction indifferently.
Yvonne was shocked and she stood there with her indescribable feelings. There was definitely a surprise, but even more shock.
"You..." Yvonne opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but she just couldn't bring it up.
Henry walked towards her and stopped right in front o f her. "Surprised?"
Yvonne nodded. "How did you manage to find this place?"
She didn't remember telling anyone that she had gone back to her hometown.
Something was wrong...
It seemed like she told Lynette! Did he ask Lynette?
Henry looked down at Yvonne whose gaze was dimming. He could probably guess what she was thinking at that moment. He then said it with his thin lips, "I asked Jason."
Yvonne was slightly startled. "Jason?"
Henry nodded.
"He... how did he know that I was back here?" Yvonne was puzzled.
Henry didn't hide from her and recalled what had happened earlier.
Yvonne finally understood the situation. "I see. Then, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
She looked at him.
"Madam, it’s..." "Sue!” Henry stopped Sue.
Sue immediately went quiet.
Henry said, "I'm here to bring you back."
"Bring me back?" Yvonne frowned.
Henry nodded. “That’s right."
"I won't go back!" Yvonne refused directly.
Henry looked at her. "Why won’t you come back?"
"Didn't I repeat it many times already? I want to get a divorce. In that case, what’s the point of going back? And tell me, where should I go back? Is the Lancaster family my home?" Yvonne asked him.
Henry blurted without giving a thought about it, "The Lancaster family is your home!"
Yvonne was stunned. "What did you say?"
"I’m saying that the Lancaster family is your home. Can you hear me now?" Henry repeated.
"I heard it loud and clear." Yvonne nodded subconsciously.
Henry smiled faintly, "Since you've heard it clearly, then come back with me.”
"No!" Yvonne rejected again.
Henry frowned this time. "Yvonne Frey, what exactly i s it that you want?"
Yvonne was annoyed. "What do I want? Shouldn’t it be what you want, Mr. Lancaster? You're the one who didn't want to see me and gave me the cold shoulder. And now you're asking me to go back with you. How about you tell me now - who am I to you? Why must I do as you say?”
