Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 24

"Just order another one." Henry waved his hand indifferently and his voice was cold.

Jackie couldn't dance right now, so she couldn’t play the role of a white swan on the stage. Rather than keeping the necklace around to arouse his deep feelings, he might as well give it to Yvonne Frey.

"Understood." Since Henry had said that, Joe naturally didn’t have any objections. He pushed up his glasses and accepted his orders.

After Henry was done with his work in the afternoon, he put on his coat and was about to go to the hospital.

However, his assistant came back with a pile of gift boxes and was sweating profusely. "Mr. Lancaster!"

"What's the matter?" Henry looked at him.

Joe put the gift boxes on the sofa. "Miss Frey isn't at the villa."

"Not there?" A frown appeared on Henry's face.

"Yes, Sue informed me that she went out shopping."

"Shopping?" Henry's face turned dark.

He gave her a half-day vacation so that she could rest, but she went out shopping instead?

Henry pursed his thin lips, then took out his phone and called Yvonne.

His call was very quickly picked up and Yvonne's surprised voice came through from the other end of the line. "Mr. Lancaster?" 1

"Where are you?" Henry inquired coldly. 1

Yvonne looked around her, then half-covered her phone to reduce the volume. "I’m shopping outside for an evening dress."

"You have the money?” Henry raised his eyebrow.

If he wasn't mistaken, Yvonne had given all her money to her mother.

"Uh...” Yvonne was choked. She scratched the back of her head and replied with some uncertainty." Probably just enough for a cheap one...”

"Fine then.”

Joe overheard the conversation and hesitated for a moment before pointing at the gift boxes. "Then what should we do with these, Mr. Lancaster?”

Henry glanced at them and then said, "Put them in my car.

"Right away.” Joe gathered up all the gift boxes again and went out.

Yvonne could faintly hear Henry talking to someone else and remained silent, not interrupting him until h e was done speaking. "Mr. Lancaster, why are you looking for me?” she tried probing.

"Nothing." Henry gave her a vague answer and quickly ended the call.

Lynette came back after choosing her dress and saw Yvonne sitting on the sofa in a daze with her phone. She went over to her and tapped on her. "Who was that Yvonne?"

Yvonne snapped back to her senses and put her phone away with a smile. "My husband."

"Your husband?" Lynette's eyes lit up with excitement. "You’ve always said that you’re married, but I’ve never met your husband! When are you going to introduce him to me?"

"When we get the chance next time." Yvonne avoided the question with guilt in her heart and forced a smile at Lynette.

She wanted to openly announce that Henry Lancaster was her husband too, but Henry didn’t allow it.

She still remembered how he had warned her on the night of their wedding and told her not to disclose their relationship to the public.

"Why are you being so secretive?" Lynette frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer. But she didn't continue pressing it either and just curiously asked," Why did your husband call you?"

"I've no idea too!" Yvonne shrugged.

Yvonne couldn't even believe it when she received the call from Henry.

In the past three years, he had never called her and didn't even save her number on his phone. She was very confused as to why he had suddenly called her and asked her where she was.

"Tsk, I think you just didn't want to tell me." Lynette curled her lips and pretended to be annoyed.

Yvonne didn't know if she should laugh or cry. "But I really have no idea..."

"Okay, okay." Lynette waved her hand. "I'm not angry, I'm just teasing you. Let's forget about it. How about you try this one?"

She picked up a pink dress and compared it to Yvonne's body. "I chose this specifically for you! You have a soft personality so pink will be great for you!"

"How much is this?" Yvonne stood up and asked.

Lynette showed the price tag to her.

Yvonne looked at it and instantly drew a sharp breath. "F-Fifteen thousand?!" Her voice rose sharply.
