Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 227

Henry felt Yvonne's reaction. His eyes flashed and his action became gentler.

A phone call suddenly rang at this moment, breaking the romance in the kitchen instantly.

Yvonne immediately became sober and pushed him away. "Your phone.”

Henry took out his phone unwillingly and cursed Joe fiercely in his heart.

Why couldn't he make this call earlier or later instead of right now?

Joe wasn't attentive at all.

"Are you not going to answer?" Yvonne couldn't help but remind the man who was staring at the phone.

Henry closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and picked up the call in front of her.

"What's the matter?” he said in his cold voice.

On the other side of the phone call, Joe was stunned. H e didn't understand what he had done that made Henry upset, but he didn't think much about it. After clearing his mind, he said solemnly, "Mr. Lancaster, something happened at headquarters."

"Something happened?” Henry squinted his eyes.

Joe nodded. "That's right. Our headquarters was targeted by an unknown financial institution.” "What did you say?" Henry's expression changed. "Is what you said true?"

Yvonne was shocked to see him react that way.

What exactly happened that made him so agitated?

"It’s true, just half an hour ago..." Joe explained the entire incident to him.

After listening to the whole story, Henry’s expression turned distressed and the surroundings tensed up. " Did you find out who's behind it?"

"Not yet. I'm still investigating. The directors want to hold a meeting and they’re asking if you're available."

"Of course. I'll be back right away.” Henry hung up.

Yvonne looked at him and asked softly, "What happened?”

"The company’s stock is under attack. I have to go now and I may not come back tonight. I'll ask Sue to bring you dinner," Henry urged as he tidied up his messy attire.

Yvonne nodded. "Alright. Since something happened t o the company, you should hurry and go now.”

"Yeah, I'll take my leave now. Call me if you need anything.” Henry patted her hair and walked away.

Yvonne didn't jump off from the countertop until she heard the door closing from the living room. Her heart felt both lost and grateful at the same time.

She was lost because Henry left her behind again, but she could understand this since something had happened to the company. She could be understanding as long as it didn't have anything to do with Jacqueline.

What made her grateful was that they didn’t carry on with the workout that made her blush with a fast heartbeat. Joe's call came on time, otherwise, she might have really messed with Henry in the kitchen.

In that case, she could never look at the kitchen the same as before.

Thinking of this, Yvonne slightly took a breath. After tidying up her clothes, she continued with the dishes.

Once she was done with the dishes, she went back to her room and watched TV.

Henry never came back at night, just as he said.

She checked the time and it was almost ten o'clock.

She had no idea if his company's affairs had been resolved.

"Madam." Sue came out of the kitchen with a glass of milk.

Yvonne turned to look at her. "Yes?"

"This glass of milk is for you. Drink it while it's still warm." Sue handed her the milk.

After Yvonne thanked Sue, she took a sip of the milk that she was holding.

"Madam, it's late. Please rest early after you drink the milk. I should go back to the villa too." Sue bid her goodbye.

Yvonne nodded. "Okay. Be careful on your way back, Sue."

"Don't worry. The driver is waiting for me outside. I'll take my leave now then." Sue took the lunch box from the coffee table, waved her hand, and walked towards the door.

After Sue left, the apartment was empty again.

Yvonne felt lonely even though the TV was switched o n.

The loneliness made her regret moving out alone.

If she hadn’t moved and was still living at the villa with Sue, she wouldn't feel as lonely as now.
