Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 21

Henry dropped his briefcase and went into the kitchen. When he reached the kitchen door, he stopped and stared at the person inside with surprise.

It turned out that it was Yvonne cooking in there!

Yvonne was wearing an apron and was busy preparing the ingredients next to the stove. The kitchen knife in her hand was making some chopping noises.

Her head was slightly lowered, exposing her slender neck. Her pale skin glowed with the light.

Henry stared at her for a while and his Adam's apple bobbed in his throat.

This was actually the third time he had a reaction to this woman!

Unable to figure out the reason, he irritably loosened the necktie around his neck and called out to the woman in his deep voice. "Yvonne Frey.”

Yvonne was shocked by suddenly getting called out of the blue and nearly cut her finger.

However, she couldn't be bothered about it and turned her head in surprise. "You're back!"

She thought Henry wouldn't be coming back! i

Henry hummed coldly in response as his gaze fell on

the pot behind her. "What are you cooking?"

"Some noodles. I haven’t had dinner yet." Yvonne wiped her hands on her apron.

Henry frowned at her. "Why are you cooking? Where is Sue?"

"Sue applied for a leave and went home. She goes back to see her granddaughter every week on the same day." Yvonne explained as she picked up a fork and stirred in the pot.

Henry leaned against the door frame. "Just noodles and nothing else?”

Since she could make only noodles that smelled this great, she probably had pretty good cooking skills.

"There aren't many ingredients left at home." Yvonne smiled embarrassedly.

She only realized that when she checked the refrigerator before cooking.

"No ingredients? Sue didn't prepare anything before she left?”

Yvonne wagged her finger. "It's not Sue’s fault. I was too busy for the past two days and I forgot to give her money to do the groceries."

"Since when did you have to give her money for groceries?" Henry narrowed his eyes as the expression on his face turned cold.

Yvonne gave him a puzzled look, looking confused by his sudden anger. "Sue won’t have money to buy groceries if I don't give her any money.”

"Nonsense.” Henry pursed his thin lips. "Sue is the servant of the Lancaster family. Her salary and your living expenses are all directly charged to the account. Why would she have no money?”

Was this woman lying to him on purpose?

"We really don’t have any money. You can ask Sue if you don’t believe me!" Yvonne looked at him seriously.
