Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 231

Yvonne shook her head and smiled. "Nothing. Just eat your breakfast.”

She had no intention to answer that. Henry stared at her a few seconds and nodded slightly. He then spoke no more.

After breakfast, Henry went to sit on the sofa and put o n his tie. He asked suddenly, "Regarding the thing I asked you to consider before - what do you think about it?”

"What are you talking about?" Yvonne was cleaning up the dishes. She became confused after hearing his question.

Henry wore his tie nicely. Now he started to put on his cufflinks too. "It’s about you, resuming your work. If you want to resume your work, I can transfer you to headquarters. You can then work in the same department with Lynette. You can be a secretary too. What do you think?”

Yvonne stopped her actions. "You still remember it."

"I’ve never forgotten about it.” Henry looked at her.

Yvonne looked down slightly. "If I resume my work, will the others raise any opinions about it?"

"Is that why you took such a long time to consider it? Are you worried about that?" Henry raised his

eyebrow.

Yvonne replied that she did. "Yes."

Henry stood up and said, "You don't have to be like this. If you're still worried, I’ll transfer you to headquarters. No one knows you there, so they won't say anything about it.”

Yvonne thought about it for a short while. "Is it okay?"

"Why not?" he retorted.

Yvonne was silent for a few seconds. "I'm afraid that the others might have opinions about it given that I appear out of nowhere all of a sudden."

If her memory did not fail her, the civilian employees who were hired by the headquarters of the Lancaster Group were all excellent graduates from outstanding universities, except the workers who worked in the factories. However, she graduated from a common university. What should she say if the others asked her about it?

She found it against her best judgement if she lied about it. But if she was being honest to them, she was afraid that the others might claim that some nepotism was involved in her case.

Although it was indeed true that some nepotism would be involved if she was transferred to the headquarters by Henry, it was still unpleasant if she heard them talking about it.

"If you're afraid that the others might condemn you about it, just work harder. As long as you're capable, the others will not raise any opinions about it. Do you understand that?" Henry appeared serious.

Yvonne thought about it for a short while and realized that what he said was logical. She nodded then. "Fine, I understand it now. I'll leave it to you."

She gave him a bow.

Seeing that she was being cordial toward him, he frowned slightly. He then walked toward her and stood in front of her. He then held her shoulders and supported her up.

"You still haven't learned your lesson." He released one of his hands and started caressing her face.

Yvonne was stunned. "What’s wrong?"

Henry looked deep into her eyes. "I told you that I’m your husband. You can always tell me what you want and what you want to do. As long as it’s reasonable, I'll not reject you. So you don’t have to be so cordial toward me. But it seems like you didn’t listen to me."

Yvonne was stunned. She averted her gaze. Tit’s not like I didn't listen to you. I'm just not used to pleading with others."

"Then it must be because of where you grew up. The environment shaped your characteristics." Henry lifted her face.

Yvonne lowered her eyelids and remained silent.

Henry sighed softly. "Since you're now married to me and you rarely have any contact with the Freys, why don't you try to make yourself more positive? I'm your husband. The Lancasters will always be your safety net. You also need to try to rely on me and the Lancasters. Do you understand me?"

Yvonne's eyes fluttered, but she remained quiet.

'Rely on him and the Lancasters?

'Can I do that?'
