It seemed rather unlikely. She took off that ring by herself at first. She might only be surprised when she saw it the next morning. Besides, she might not be overjoyed.
But maybe it was not the case. He would soon know about her reaction the next day.
As he was thinking about that, he pinched the place between his eyebrows. Then, he flipped open the blanket and snuggled into bed. He hugged Yvonne and slept together with her.
The night passed by in the blink of an eye.
When Yvonne woke up the next day, she looked beside her subconsciously. There was no one beside her. He was not there anymore.
But she was not surprised given that Henry was not there almost every time she woke up in the morning. She was now used to it.
He always woke up earlier than her. Compared to him, she seemed like a lazy person.
She then yawned and put on her shoes before she walked toward the bathroom. She prepared to clean herself up.
However, she suddenly felt that there was something o n her finger scratching her face when she was
washing her face. She felt slightly uncomfortable. She soon rinsed off the soap on her face and grabbed a towel beside her to wipe her face dry. After that, she raised her hand and looked at it. She then widened her eyes.
"This..."
Yvonne was stunned. She was shocked too.
She did not understand it. 'Why is this ring on my finger?'
'I clearly remember that I took both the ring and the jade pendant off when I wanted to divorce Henry at that time. I left them in the mansion.
'Why is it...
'Is it Henry?
'That's right!'
Yvonne clenched her fists tightly. ‘It must be him!'
He put his ring on himself the previous day. Now she had a ring on her finger too. It must be him.
Thinking of that, she put down the towel and walked out of the bathroom to return to the bedroom. She was going to call Henry up and ask him about it.
After she dialed his number, she heard Henry's voice a t the door. "What's wrong? Did you call me?"
Henry held the phone and leaned against the door. He smiled faintly and looked at her.
Yvonne opened her lips slightly. "You're still here." "It's the weekend," said Henry.
Yvonne’s lips twitched slightly. "I forgot about it."
"Yes, I can see that." Henry nodded.
Yvonne rolled her eyes, and she did not bother to argue with him.
But Henry straightened his body and walked toward her. "Why did you call me up?"
As he said so, he ended their call.
Yvonne only recovered her senses now. She was almost distracted by her. So she coughed softly and organized her thoughts. She then asked him, "Did you put this on me?"
She raised her left hand and showed him the ring.
Henry replied that he did. "Yes, it was me. I specifically asked Sue to look for it. Then, I asked the driver to send it to me here. But you had fallen asleep, so you didn't know about it." 2
"Why?" Yvonne put down her hand and looked at him with complicated feelings.
Henry raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean why?"
"Why did you put it on me?" Yvonne asked him again.
Henry narrowed his eyes. He then chuckled. "It's because you're my wife."
"But if that's the case, both of us have put it back on.
Aren't you afraid that..."
Before she could finish talking, his phone started to ring all of a sudden, interrupting her. She was forced t o stop talking.
She could only sigh in resignation and keep her mouth shut.
"Wait for me for a short while. Let me answer this call first." Henry apologized to Yvonne before he took out his phone.
That time around, he did not turn away from her. He answered the phone directly and put it near his ear. " What's wrong?”
