Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 208

"Sir? He's gone off to meet with the chief," said Sue as she pointed at the building she had just left.

Yvonne squinted her almond-shaped eyes. "What’s he doing at the chief's place?"

"I'm not sure." Sue shrugged.

Yvonne thought deeply for a while and headed to the chief’s house.

Before she could enter his house, she heard a voice coming from the inside. "On behalf of the entire village, thank you!"

"You're welcome, it’s the least I could do," replied Henry.

Yvonne started to sweat buckets the more she listened.

What had Henry done to be thanked by the chief?

Knock knock knock!

Yvonne couldn't wait any longer and knocked on the door.

The door opened almost immediately.

The chief peeked out of the door. When he saw her, he was smiling happily, "Yvonne, what brings you here?"

"I'm here because..."

"You're here to see Henry right?" said the chief, cutting her off before she could finish.

Yvonne nodded. "...Yes, I'm here to see what he's doing here in your house, chief."

"Henry is here to discuss his investment proposal." The chief opened the door to let her in.

"Investment proposal?" Yvonne was so shocked that her voice was raised.

The chief nodded and said, "That’s right."

“What kind of proposal?" asked Yvonne, even more puzzled.

To her, there was nothing worth investing in the village.

The chief chuckled and said, "Well, it's quite difficult for me to explain to you since I'm no businessman. I suppose it’d be better if Henry did the explaining," said the chief as he guided her into the living room.

Yvonne entered and saw a man seated in a chair leisurely sipping a cup of tea.

The man shifted his gaze at her and said, "You're up?"

Yvonne looked away uncomfortably and acknowledged it by making a weak noise.

She was now sure that it was him who had carried her to her bed.

Except she couldn't fathom how she had not felt anything when she was being carried.

"Why are you silently standing there Yvonne? Come, sit," said the chief as he saw her standing there. He poured her a glass of water.

Yvonne clearly felt that the chief’s attitude towards her had changed, and there was a hint of his kindness in his expressions.

Was it due to Henry’s investment?

Yvonne took the glass of water from the chief and sat down. "Thank you, chief."

"You're welcome. You two have a chat while I head into the kitchen, both of you stay here for breakfast." A s he finished, the chief left the living room, leaving the couple alone.

Yvonne looked at Henry and said, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to understand more about the village," replied Henry.

Yvonne raised an eyebrow. "What’s there to understand? The chief said you were discussing an investment proposal, is that right?"
