Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 26

Henry ignored her question and walked away with hands in his pockets.

Yvonne pouted and shrank as she followed behind him.

"Yo, the hero is back from rescuing the damsel in distress?" Shane put his phone down and teased when he saw Henry returning with Yvonne.

Henry went over to take a seat on the sofa without even looking at him.

Shane wasn't even bothered by his indifference. He grinned and waved at Yvonne. "We meet again, sis-inlaw!”

Yvonne nodded to him slightly. "Hello.”

"What happened to you?" Shane asked the obvious when he saw the state she was in.

"I..." Yvonne didn't know how to answer him and seemed a little embarrassed.

She couldn't possibly tell an outsider that she had just gotten bullied.

It would be so embarrassing.

Henry pointed to the door and told Shane, "Alright, get out now!" "Fine, fine, I’ll get going and leave you lovebirds alone." Shane shrugged and left the lounge.

When he exited the room, he saw Joe standing guard b y the door. An idea suddenly popped into Shane's mind and he put his arm on Joe's shoulder. "Hey Joe, I remember there’ll be a dance later right?” 2

"Yes, why do you ask, Dr. Summers?" Joe raised his eyebrow at the man, suddenly having a bad feeling about it.

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something fun." Shane looked at the lounge's door and smiled calculatingly.

In the lounge, Henry tapped on the coffee table. "Come here."

"Me?" Yvonne pointed to herself.

Henry's handsome face darkened. "Is there a third person in here?"

"Uh..." Yvonne smiled in embarrassment and went over to him.

"Go put these on." Henry gestured to the gift boxes on the coffee table with his chin.

"What are these?" Yvonne tilted her head in curiosity.

She had noticed the boxes as soon as she entered, but she didn't dare to ask about them.

Henry propped his head with one hand and spoke lazily. "You'll know when you open them."

Since he had spoken, Yvonne picked up the largest box and opened it to find an evening dress inside.

It was a blue dress with silver accents around the hemline and collar. The gorgeous dress glittered under the lights in the lounge.

"How beautiful!" Yvonne held the lid of the gift box in one hand and covered her mouth with the other. Her eyes were filled with amazement and she couldn't turn her gaze away from the dress.

"You like it?" Henry looked at her.

Yvonne nodded, "I do."

There was no woman who didn't like beautiful dresses. 1

"Put it on if you like it," Henry said.

"Can I?" Yvonne's eyes lit up and asked with uncertainty as she tried to suppress her excitement.

Henry frowned at her. "You think I'm lying?"

"Of course not!" Yvonne shook her head violently. "I just feel like I am dreaming. Why would you suddenly give me a dress, Henry?”

A trace of emotions flickered across Henry's eyes. He didn't answer her but urged her to quickly put on the dress before leaving the lounge.

Although Yvonne was a little disappointed, she immediately felt relieved when she saw the gift boxes in front of her.

She carefully returned the dress back into the box, then opened the other gift boxes with anticipation.

Inside them were high heels and various accessories. Yvonne could tell they were all extremely expensive -so expensive that she suddenly felt reluctant to wear them.

She changed into the dress and came out of the lounge. Yvonne looked at the man who had his back facing her in the corridor and clasped her hands nervously. "I'm done."

Henry turned around and was stunned for a good while. His eyes widened slightly as soon as he saw her and felt his heart skip a beat.

Yvonne grew nervous at the man's stare and her heart raced. Her face turned red and she didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. 2
