Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 238

Henry opened his thin lips slightly and said, "What I mean is I'll warn them about it in person after I give them the money. Then, they won't come asking for money again.”

"I see." Yvonne nodded after she understood him.

After that, she said, "But just forget about the money."

"Why?" Henry raised his eyebrow.

Yvonne smiled rather awkwardly. "In the past, I always gave them money without any hesitation, so they became reckless and extravagant. They thought that they'd definitely get the money as long as they ask it from me. I understand it now. What I did in the past is wrong."

"So you’re not going to give them any more money in the future?" asked Henry.

Yvonne replied lightly now that she had made up her mind about it.

Henry sighed softly. "What you said is true. But it's not easy to do that. Are you sure you're able to do this?"

Yvonne was stunned. Two seconds later, she nodded i n uncertainty. "Maybe I can."

Although she said it like that, she did not have much confidence in herself. She did not know whether she could do that.

Maybe she could reject them if they asked for money from her under some trivial excuses. But if something bad happened to the Freys, she might not be able to reject them then.

"I knew it." Henry supported his head with one of his hands. "They've relied on you for so many years now. Suddenly, you decided to not give them any more money. They'll definitely not give up easily. So you should really take things slow."

"I know. But they're asking for more than a hundred fifty thousand dollars for Jason's wedding. I certainly cannot comply with that." Yvonne clenched her fists tightly and spoke persistently.

Henry served her another piece of meat. "Just do whatever you want. If anything happens, just call me. I'll help you."

"Alright, thank you." Yvonne thanked him sincerely.

Henry lifted his chin slightly and said nothing.

Yvonne took a bite of the piece of fish. After she swallowed it, she thought of something all of a sudden. "By the way!"

Henry was shocked by her agitated reaction. "What’s wrong?"

"I almost forgot about it. I met Elliot this afternoon."

Hearing that name, Henry tightened his grasp on the fork. His facial expression worsened. "Did you talk to him?"

"Yes..." Noticing the coldness in him, Yvonne shrunk her neck slightly.

Henry pursed his lips. "What did you talk about?"

"Nothing much. He's curious as to why I came back here since he was the one who sent me to the station when I left. Besides, he said something rather strange t o me. I feel that there's something wrong.” When Yvonne talked about that, she appeared quite serious.

Henry narrowed his eyes slightly. "What's wrong?"

"He asked me if I'd gotten back together with you. He even asked me not to regret it in the future," Yvonne answered. "It sounded like he was asking me not to regret it after getting back together with you. But I feel that there’s some underlying meaning in it. However, I couldn’t pinpoint what it is."

Hearing that, Henry was quiet for a short while." Alright."

"Do you know what that means?" Yvonne widened her eyes and looked at him in shock.

Henry shook his head slightly. "No. I'm saying that I’ll investigate him carefully."

"But didn't you investigate him before? You found nothing else except that his identity is a bit peculiar. S o you let it go at last, didn't you? Why do you want to investigate him again?" said Yvonne.

Henry pinched the bridge of his nose. "Just like you said, you feel that there's something wrong with what he said. I feel so too after listening to you. So I want to look into it again. By the way, where did you bump into him?"

"At the station near the headquarters. He said that he was on his way back from sending his father to the airport."

"Wait, what did you say? His father?" Henry's facial expression changed slightly.

Looking at his reaction, Yvonne felt slightly curious. " Yes, he said so himself. What's wrong with it?"

Henry did not answer her question directly. He thought about it for a while before he said, "Elliot's father-Shaw Taylor, went and stayed abroad twenty years ago. He left suddenly, and no one knew why he left. What's more puzzling was that he claimed never t o return here for the rest of his life. But he returned here all of a sudden.”
