Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 223

"I just feel like I'm being shackled. You're forbidding m e from coming into contact with other men, yet the world is so big. Are you expecting me to stay away from every single man?" Yvonne's voice sounded like she was exhausted. 1

Henry fell silent.

Obviously, he had realized that he had erred in his methods.

After a while, he patted Yvonne’s shoulder and said," Alright, I take back what I said. However, you must maintain your distance with Elliot Taylor - he must have his motives for coming near you."

"You don't have to tell me, I can see it with my own eyes." Yvonne shrugged her shoulder to remove his hand.

Henry very naturally placed his hand back into his pocket." As for Shane, he might be your doctor, but other than during checkups, you should maintain your distance with him as well. He..."

"He what?" Yvonne was slightly curious.

A dark light flashed through his eyes as he said, "It's nothing.”

There was no need for him to tell her since Shane had already promised he would not pursue her.

Yvonne was speechless at Henry who had stopped halfway before finishing his sentence.

She found him hateful for piquing her interest yet refusing to tell her the whole situation, leaving her in suspense.

"Fine." Yvonne let out a groan after.

Henry massaged his temples and said, “Apart from both of them, as long as other men don’t have any other ulterior motives, I wouldn't mind you befriending them, but those two are out of the question."

"But those two are the only men I know." Yvonne rolled her eyes.

He might as well not have said anything just now.

Apart from Elliot and Shane, she did not know any other men, so how was she supposed to befriend other men? Where was she going to find them even?

Was there any difference from what he had said previously?

Henry seemed to have seen through what Yvonne was thinking, and his lips curled upwards. "That's fine then. If you don't know any other men, then there's no need for you to deliberately find one to befriend then. I promise you this as well - I will cut all contact with Jacqueline as well."

"What did you say?" Yvonne's eyes widened and she looked at him with a surprised look.

Henry repeated what he just said.

Yvonne's lips moved and said, "Are you serious?"

"Yes," said Henry as he nodded his head firmly.

Yvonne lowered her eyelids and added, "But I told you, I don't believe you."

"It's ok, actions speak louder than words. This is the first step for you to believe me."

As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and deleted Jacqueline's contact details. 2

His actions deeply touched her as her heart skipped a beat. Afterwards, he pulled her into his arms.

The man had bent his back and laid his chin on her shoulder. He said in a low voice, "I know it's my fault for not handling Dominic Conrad better, but from now on I will do my best to make it up to you. So, will you give me a chance?"

Yvonne was startled.

When had she ever seen Henry Lancaster pleading with others?

What's more, she had never seen Henry stooping so low before.

"You seek my forgiveness, yet have you done anything to make me forgive you." Yvonne pushed him away with a heavy heart.

Henry saw the woman leaving his arms and his heart sank. "I know that I’m at fault for not avenging our child, but I had my reasons."

"Your reason was because of Jacqueline, that's all," mocked Yvonne sarcastically.
