Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 206

She thought he was pretending to be asleep.

But wouldn't it be uncomfortable for him to be sleeping with his jacket and shoes on? He didn't even cover himself with the blanket!

Yvonne silently sighed. She knelt down to remove Henry's shoes and placed them under the blanket. She then took off his jacket for him before pulling the blanket over him and was about to leave the room when she was done.

Just as she was about to leave, a hand grabbed her wrist.

Before she could react, she was pulled backwards by a strong force.

Bang!

She shrieked as her back landed on a warm chest.

She was startled as she could only see the ceiling and couldn't bring herself to react.

Henry chuckled and hugged her waist. His head resting on her neck as he sniffed the scent that was coming from her neck, he said with a slightly croaky voice, "You still care for me, don't you?”

Yvonne's body stiffened. "Let me go, I don't understand what you're trying to say!"

He lied to her again - he was actually pretending to b e asleep!

She should’ve just rocked him roughly to get him to wake up.

The thought of her prior actions left her feeling stupid for actually doing it!

"You don’t understand?" Henry raised his head slightly and nibbled her neck gently. "I said, you still care for me."

Yvonne had not expected Henry's sudden behavior, her pupils dilated and she was blushing, unsure if it was due to anger or shyness.

"Let go of me, let go of me Henry Lancaster!" said Yvonne as she struggled.

Henry hugged her even tighter instead of releasing her. "Don't move, if you do, I’ll injure my back even more. Don't forget there aren’t any hospitals nearby." 1

Yvonne’s body stiffened up again as she heard this. 1

Henry’s lips curled upwards when he realized Yvonne was being so obedient. "That's right, was something the matter for you to come in so suddenly?"

"Sue is asking you to head downstairs and eat," replied Yvonne, remaining stiff and motionless as she replied.

Henry noticed that she was uncomfortable and gently sighed before letting go of her waist. "Got it, I'll be

there right away."

Yvonne got up and darted out of the room the moment Henry released her.

Henry's lips pursed as he saw her running out so swiftly.

Was he that scary?

Was she so scared of him that she could not wait to leave him as soon she got the chance to?!

As he recalled how Yvonne had rejected him just now, he knew that he still had much to do for her to forgive him. 1

"Sir, you're up." Sue laid out the food on the table and smiled as she saw Henry approaching.

Henry nodded in acknowledgement and turned his head towards Yvonne’s direction.

The woman was quietly sitting by the table. Sensing that he was looking at her, she held her head up to look at him but quickly looked back down again.

Henry walked towards her and sat directly opposite her.

Yvonne saw him and slightly arched an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Lancaster."

"Say my name!" Henry corrected her.

Yvonne pretended not to hear him and continued, "Mr. Lancaster, how long do you intend to stay here?"

"Why, you're chasing me away?” said Henry as he picked up some food to put into her bowl.

Once again, Yvonne was startled by his actions. Her gaze fixed on the food in her bowl, she could not decide whether or not to eat it.

"What’s wrong?" Henry looked at her.

Yvonne opened her mouth and said after a slight pause, "Why did you put food in my bowl?"

She felt as if Henry had changed a lot since she last met him.

Especially now - the way he was treating her was the complete opposite of how he used to treat her.
