Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 255

Yvonne nodded. "Yes, I did."

"What did you say?" Henry’s facial expression became serious. He put down the wine glass immediately and held her shoulders with both of her hands. He asked anxiously, "Have you indeed seen it before? Where?”

Yvonne was shocked by his agitated look. She shrank her neck slightly and replied, "Yes, I have seen it before. But I forgot where I'd seen it..."

"Forgotten?" Henry's facial expression worsened.

Now it was not easy to see one who might have met Hayden before. But she claimed that she had forgotten about it.

"Yes, I've indeed forgotten where I saw that and who it was I saw with such a birthmark." Yvonne nodded and said apologetically, "Besides, it was so long ago, and I saw it only once. But..."

"But what?" Henry clenched his fists tighter.

Yvonne drew in a breath. "You know that I don't know that many people and my circle of friends is rather narrow. Besides, I remembered the birthmark after only seeing it once. So the person who has that birthmark is somebody I know. So I just need to think about it hard, and I might be able to recall the details." "Are you sure?" Henry threw a sidelong glance at her.

Yvonne's eyes fluttered. She looked down in uncertainty. "Maybe..."

In fact, she was not so sure about it either. Besides, her memory was failing her, and she did not have such a good memory now. She soon forgot about a lot o f things.

Although her circle of friends was small and she did not know that many people, it was indeed quite difficult if she wanted to remember each and every one of them. There were quite a lot of them too, and she needed to try to figure out who had that birthmark.

But she would try her best.

Thinking of that, Yvonne closed her eyes and started t o recall it.

Henry did not disturb her, but he stared at her with his ferocious eyes. He seemed to be slightly eager too.

However, Yvonne opened her eyes in frustration after a few minutes.

Seeing her like that, Henry knew that she recalled nothing.

The eagerness in his eyes subsided. He then released his grasp on her shoulders slowly.

Yvonne became anxious when she realized that something was lifted off her shoulders.

She did not think much about it. She soon grabbed his sleeves immediately. "I'm sorry. I still cannot recall it."

"It's fine. I've foreseen that." Henry pinched his nose bridge. "I didn’t blame you."

"But you’re still disappointed, aren't you?” Yvonne lowered her eyes.

Henry smirked. "Just a bit. But it’s fine. If Hayden is found easily, I wouldn’t have to wait until now. That's enough. Let's not talk about it. What did you buy since you went shopping today?”

He changed the topic.

Yvonne did not know whether he was trying to make her stop blaming herself or because of some other reasons. Seeing that he did not want to dwell on that anymore, she answered his question directly. "I bought some yarn. How did you know that I went out shopping today?"

"The driver told me about it.” Henry took the wine glass and bottle and returned to the living room.

Yvonne followed closely behind him. "Did you specifically ask the driver to keep an eye on me?"

"No, it's for your own safety. I need to know your whereabouts at all times." Henry sat down on the sofa.

Yvonne went and sat beside him. "Safety? What will happen to me?"

"The Lancasters were tricked recently. So it's better to be safe than sorry," said Henry.

Yvonne averted her gaze. "Then are those people who tricked the Lancasters..." "I know what you're going to say. I have the same doubt too, so I asked Joe to continue with his investigation. But we didn't find anything. How about you?" Henry shook the wine glass in his hand and took another sip. He then continued, "You’re going to report yourself to headquarters. Are you ready for that?"

"So soon?" Yvonne was slightly stunned.

Henry raised his eyebrows. "Is it? I’m going back to headquarters tomorrow."

"I should be ready..." Yvonne said without any confidence.

Henry touched his forehead. "So you didn't make any kind of preparation?"

"No. I thought about how to introduce myself." Yvonne straightened her body.

Henry chuckled. "That's not too bad. But you need to d o more than that instead of only introducing yourself i f you go and report yourself to headquarters tomorrow. I'll ask Joe to arrange for some information for you as to what kinds of things you need to prepare. Just go through the information carefully."

"Alright." Yvonne nodded.
