Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 240

"Yes." Henry nodded.

Yvonne smiled bitterly. "Are you talking about how they treat me harshly?"

Henry moved his thin lips slightly, but he said nothing in reply.

That was only one of the reasons.

Another reason was that the Freys had been raising her illegally.

According to Joe's investigation, they had not found out who Yvonne's biological parents were. But they had found out that the Freys did not raise her legally. I t meant that Freys might have stolen her.

"Actually, I no longer care about how they treated me. It’s because I've decided to just be their mere relative. As for the love I have for them, I no longer feel anything for them now. But Jason is different.” Yvonne lowered her head.

Henry sat down beside her. "What's the difference?"

"Actually, Jason was not like this when he was young. Every time I was beaten up, Jason would always protect me. Even when I was locked up by my parents, and I was prohibited to eat anything, he would send m e food secretly. So we had quite a good relationship when we were young. But all of a sudden, he changed.

He changed and became like my parents..." "So you want to know the reason why he changed all o f a sudden. Is it?" Henry’s eyelids fluttered.

Yvonne lowered her eyes. "I don't know why he changed all of a sudden in the past, so I became cold and aloof toward him. But now I learned that he did so because he thought that I had wronged him. I want to know the truth."

"What happens after you learn about the truth?" Henry crossed his slender legs and asked her, "Do you plan t o have a good relationship with him as his sister after that?"

Yvonne pursed her lips slightly and remained quiet.

She did indeed plan to do so.

"Stupid." Henry knocked her head slightly.

Yvonne touched her head and stared at him in dissatisfaction. "Why do you say that I'm stupid?"

"Why not? You still want to work on your relationship with him," Henry sneered. "Have you forgotten how he treated you all this while?"

"But maybe I indeed wronged him." Yvonne grabbed the hem of her shirt.

Henry sneered, "Even if you had indeed wronged him, you have long paid that off given how he bullied and condemned you all these past years. Besides, have you ever thought of it? If there's indeed some kind of misunderstanding between the two of you, will your relationship be as good as how it used to be once the misunderstanding is cleared?"

Yvonne was stunned.

Looking at her like that, he knew about it soon. "You didn't think about it, did you?" 1

Yvonne looked down again. "Yes, I didn’t think about i t."

"So how are you so sure about it? Besides, Jason is no longer how he used to be. He’s now wicked and cunning. He's vicious and selfish too. How do you know that he'll be his old self after the misunderstanding is lifted?" Henry asked her again.

His consecutive questions killed every excitement she had in her heart. She could not even retort to him.

After all, what he said was indeed logical.

Jason had now become another person. It was impossible for him to revert to his old self-the gentle and cute younger brother.

"Then, tell me, what should I do?" Yvonne covered her face since she was indeed running out of options.

Seeing that she was engulfed in deep pain, Henry’s heart softened. He pulled her into his arms directly." You don't have to say anything. Just pretend that you didn't hear those things. Since you've maintained your relationship with the Freys for so many years, just keep it up." "But..." Yvonne wanted to say more.

Henry put his finger against her lips. "Listen to me. I won't harm you. Besides, it won’t hurt you in the future even if you do so."

"In the future?" Yvonne pointed it out. "What will happen to me in the future?”

Henry's eyes fluttered. Soon, he calmed himself down. "Nothing. It's getting late now. Let’s go to bed."

After that, he lifted her up directly.

Yvonne was shocked by him. She screamed and hugged his neck subconsciously. "What are you doing? Put me down immediately!”

"I'm getting you back to the room." Not only did Henry not put her down, but he lifted her and went straight t o the bedroom. As he was walking, he said, "We were interrupted the last time. I won’t let you go this time around.”

Hearing that, Yvonne certainly understood what he meant. Her face blushed deeply.

He remembered the last time when they were interrupted in the kitchen.
