Yvonne shook her head. "I didn’t wait too long." “Get in the car." Henry took his car key out to unlock the car.
Yvonne opened the car door, got herself in, and fastened the seat belt.
However, Henry didn't get in the car yet. He was talking to Joe outside the car.
Yvonne didn't want to rush him either. So, she waited i n the car and fiddled with her mobile phone.
After a while, Joe left. Henry walked past the front of his car and got in.
Upon seeing this, Yvonne put her phone away. "You're done with your discussion?"
"Yeah. Let's head home now. Sit tight,” Henry reminded her while he started the car.
Yvonne seated herself slightly upright as she was about to say something. Suddenly, she caught something from the corner of her eyes. "Eh?"
"What’s wrong?"
Her voice caught Henry's attention.
Yvonne pointed to the corner that caught her eyes." There, Miss Conrad."
Henry was stunned when he heard Jacqueline’s name. He then looked over to the corner that Yvonne was pointing to. Jacqueline was really standing there. He didn't know how long she had been there. Her eyes were trained on his car, and her glance was full of complicated emotions such as complaints, sadness...
Henry furrowed his eyebrows, feeling a little unhappy.
What right did she have to accuse him?
Wasn't she the one who caused Dominic to end up in this situation?
Her current expression and the glint in her eyes seemed to indicate that Henry had started all this for n o reason.
Henry pressed his thin lips tightly when he thought about it. Then, his surroundings tensed up. "Don't care about her. Let's go."
"But she seems to have something to tell you." Yvonne looked at the man in the driver's seat.
The man was expressionless. "I don't have anything to say to her."
"It's up to you then." Yvonne shrugged and stopped talking.
The car slowly turned around and drove past Jacqueline.
What made Yvonne feel strange was that Jacqueline was standing there, obviously looking for Henry, but she wasn't sure why the latter hadn’t moved at all. She just stood there with no intention to stop the car. Even when the car drove past her, she just looked on silently.
When the car was almost out of the parking lot, Yvonne caught a glimpse of Jacqueline from the rearview mirror. Jacqueline suddenly covered her face and squatted down. It looked as if she was crying.
"Are you really not going to see her?" Yvonne's eyes shifted from the rearview mirror to the stern face of the man beside her. "She’s crying."
Henry's eyes trembled, but he quickly kept his calm. "N o need.”
"Really? But she’s in poor health now. What if
something happens?" Yvonne said while she blinked. 1
Henry frowned and said in a cold tone, "Yvonne Frey, what are you saying? You're my wife, yet you keep persuading me to find someone else?"
Yvonne lowered her eyes and said quietly, "I'm just afraid that you'll regret it in the future.”
"No!” Henry spitted out the words coldly.
Yvonne stretched out her hands. "Well then, since you won’t, I won’t persuade you any further. Anyway, I've done what I should do. If something really happens in the future, you can't blame it on me.”
After speaking, she closed her eyes and leaned her head against the car window for a nap.
Henry glanced sideways to look at Yvonne with an incomprehensible expression in his eyes.
Along the way, the atmosphere between the two tensed up a little and no one said a word.
When they arrived at the villa, Yvonne was the first to get out of the car and walk toward the door.
In the villa, Sue heard the sound of the car outside and hurried out to greet Yvonne. She smiled when she saw both of them. "Sir, madam, you guys are back?”
"Sue." Yvonne returned a smile at Sue. Then, she looked up at the villa calmly.
