Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 230

Yvonne sighed. She then bent down and lifted Henry's hand lightly. She wanted to put his hand back on the bed.

However, just when she put his hand on the bed, he woke up all of a sudden. His deep-set eyes seemed cold and ferocious.

Yvonne was frightened, and she was stunned on the spot.

At last, Henry recovered his senses after a few seconds. He put away his coldness and fierceness." Did I scare you?"

His voice was so hoarse that it was slightly unpleasant. His throat was extremely dry.

Yvonne calmed herself down gradually. "No, I wasn't scared. But just now you..."

"I'm sorry. The things happening in the office have made me tense. I thought it was someone else." Henry rubbed his temple and explained lightly.

Yvonne shook her head. "It's fine. I’ll go and get you a glass of water.”

Then, she turned and left the room.

After a few minutes, she returned to the room with a glass of yellowish water and handed it to him. "Here you are. It's honey water, and it'll help soothe your dry

throat."

Henry did not expect to see her notice the dryness in his throat. She even prepared a glass of honey water for him. He was warmed by her action. "Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me. That's what I should do." Yvonne sat down at the side of the bed.

After Henry gulped down the water, he handed the glass back to her.

She took the glass and asked again, "Do you want more?"

"It's fine." Henry shook his head.

Yvonne replied lightly and put the glass beside the bed. "When did you come home?"

Henry looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Two hours ago."

Yvonne raised her eyebrows. "Just two hours? Did I disturb your sleep?”

"No."

"But..." Yvonne looked at his exhausted face. "You

don't look well. Didn't you sleep last night?"

"I had no time for that. I was busy." Henry pinched the bridge of his nose and replied in exhaustion.

Yvonne bit her lips. "Then did you resolve the issue now that you’re home?" "Almost. But I'm not sure what will happen next."

"What do you mean?"

Henry's facial expressions worsened. "Something happened with headquarters this time around. Joe spent one whole night, but he still could not discover the schemer behind it. So it's possible that that person is plotting another scheme now."

"How could that be?" Yvonne was shocked. "You're being targeted. Did you offend anybody?"

"The business field is just like a battlefield. I offended too many people, so it's not easy to find out who is behind all of this." Henry closed his eyes in frustration.

Noticing that he was exhausted, Yvonne asked no more. She took the glass and stood up. "I can't help you with your work. Since you didn't have a good rest last night, do go back to sleep. I’ll go out first."

"Wait." Henry called after her.

Yvonne stopped walking and turned to look at him." What's wrong?"

Henry opened his eyes. "Come here."

Yvonne tilted her head and headed back to the bed in doubt.

Henry pointed at the bedside cabinet. "Put the glass down."

"What do you want?" Yvonne asked him as she did accordingly.

Henry smirked when he saw her putting down the glass obediently. Suddenly, he stretched his hand out and grabbed her wrist. Just when she was still in a daze, he used some force and pulled her into his arms.

"You..." Yvonne widened her eyes.

Henry put a finger on her lips. "Shh...please be quiet. I have a headache."

"If you have a headache, just rest. Why did you pull me into your arms?” Yvonne blinked her eyes and looked a t him.

Henry adjusted his posture and laid down in bed with her. After that, he pulled the blanket and covered both of them well. "That's enough. Don't mess around.

Sleep with me for a while."

"But I don't want to sleep." Yvonne struggled, trying to free herself from his arms.

But Henry intensified his force and hugged her tighter. "Don't move. If you move anymore, I can't guarantee what will happen next."
