Certainly, a father understood his son well. Although the master was not Henry's father, he was his grandfather, and he was also the one who understood Henry the most.
So, he could guess at the reason very soon.
Henry was not surprised to see the master react so fast. He replied calmly, "It's not considered a threat."
He just provided Yvonne a choice.
He asked her to choose between the village and her own freedom, and she chose the latter.
Actually, he knew that what he did was slightly cunning, but he could not care so much about that as long as she agreed to come back with him.
Even though she chose the village in the end, he was able to bring her back too.
"Is it indeed not a threat?" The master's facial expression worsened. "It seems like you indeed threatened her. Didn't you?"
"Yes,” Henry admitted.
The master widened his eyes angrily. "Henry, what the hell do you want to do? You know very well that she’s disappointed in you. But you don't want a divorce, and you even went after her to bring her back.
So what happens after you bring her back? Do you want to treat her coldly like you always have?"
"No, I won't." Henry pursed his thin lips. "I won't anymore."
"Oh?" The master was slightly stunned. "What? Have you finally come to your senses?"
"Yes, I have come to my senses now. I love her, so I don’t want a divorce. I brought her back this time around, and I'll beg for her forgiveness. I'll be her true husband," said Henry.
"Wait a minute." The master was slightly dumbfounded. He thought that he had heard Henry wrong. "What did you say just now? You said that you love Yvonne. Is that so?"
"Yes." Henry nodded.
The master was astonished. "Aren't you still thinking about that woman from the Conrads? Why do you fall i n love with Yvonne all of a sudden?"
Henry was silent for a few seconds before he replied," Actually, I don't know about the answer to that question either. I wasn't even aware of my feelings toward Yvonne until I was reminded by Sue and Shane. If not, I wouldn’t have even noticed it. As for Jackie, it's in the past now."
"I see." The master touched his white beard slightly, not believing what he said entirely. "I don't even know whether what you said is true or not. But let me ask you one thing first. Are you sure that you won’t treat her like you used to after you get her back here?" "Yes, I’m sure of that." Henry promised solemnly.
Finally, the master's facial expression became better. He chuckled, "Fine, I'll trust you one more time. Since you've made your mind, I certainly wish that you'll be able to reconcile with Yvonne and get back together with her since she's the granddaughter-in-law who has my approval."
"I will."
"That's good. I'll then wait for the news when she forgives you. When you get back together with each other, do treat her well. Don't you ever do any villainous things like that anymore. If not, I'll definitely break one of your legs. You won't get away with it easily this time around with just a few whips from me. Do you hear me?" the master warned him coldly. 1
Henry replied immediately, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I won’t let you down this time around.”
"Good. That's more like it." The master nodded in satisfaction. After that, he asked Henry for the first time about the wounds on his back. "How are the wounds on your back?"
Henry touched his back. "Not bad."
"It seems like you're recovering just fine. That’s enough. I’ve asked you what I wanted to ask. Now, please tell Yvonne something on my behalf."
"What is that?"
The master said gently, "Just tell her that I only approve of her as my granddaughter-in-law after all this while, and I welcome her home."
"Alright. I'll tell her that." Henry gave his promise.
After the call, he put away his phone and returned to the apartment.
Yvonne walked out of the washroom at that moment. She asked him casually when she saw him, "Have you finished your call?"
"Yes, Grandpa knows that you’re back. He called me just to ask me about it," said Henry as he took his seat.
Yvonne was slightly stunned. "It was a call from Grandpa?"
"Yes."
Yvonne lowered her head. "How is he recently?"
