Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 272

"It's because of Yvonne," Henry replied briefly.

But that answer was enough to clear the old man's doubt.

He did it for Yvonne.

The old man raised his eyebrows surprisingly. He looked at Henry for a long time and then laughed," Henry, tell Grandpa honestly. How do you feel towards Yvonne now?"

"I love her," Henry immediately replied without any hesitation.

"Oh?" The old man stretched his voice. "Does that also mean that you're planning to settle down with Yvonne now?"

"Yes." Henry nodded.

The old man knocked on the table and said, “That's great. Never break your promise anymore now that you've decided. Treat Yvonne well from now on and let bygones be bygones. I don’t want anything like that to happen again. Do you hear me?"

"Understood," Henry answered.

The old man yawned, "When a person gets old, he tires easily even after sitting for a short while.” "Drink some tea." Henry immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it over to the old man.

The old man waved his hand. "Put it down first. I'll drink it later. Tell me again. What's your plan for that Conrad girl now? I heard from Joe that she has been pleading to you for the past two days?"

"Yes, but I didn't agree," Henry answered while putting down his teacup.

The old man squeezed the bridge of his nose. "It's right to reject. If you dare agree to her, I'll be the first t o come after you. As for the Conrad girl, I hope you understand that the person you love now is Yvonne. You're her husband, so don't let me find out that you did something stupid again."

"I got it." Henry nodded.

The old man smiled with satisfaction. "That’s more like it. Try to send that girl overseas as soon as possible. If she stays longer, things might turn sour again. By the way, the clue about your brother last time H

"It’s fake." Henry’s face sank.

There was a ray of sadness in the old man's eyes. "I know it’s fake, but I always hoped that it was real. I don't know if I’ll see Hayden before I die."

"You definitely can," Henry pursed his lips.

The old man thought he was only comforting himself and sighed helplessly, "The hope is slim." "Not really. Yvonne may have seen Hayden," Henry said.

This statement was like a huge boulder, drumming on the old man's heart.

He stood up with his face full of excitement. "Henry, are you speaking the truth? Has Yvonne really seen Hayden?"

"I’m not sure. Yvonne isn't sure either. She just said that she'd seen someone with a red birthmark on the neck, but she doesn't know if that person is Hayden." Henry gently shook his head.

The old man whispered quickly, "Red birthmark on the neck. Yes, Hayden has such a birthmark. There are many people in this world with birthmarks, but not many with red birthmarks on the neck. Maybe it’s really Hayden. Henry, did Yvonne mention that person's name?"

He grabbed Henry's hands and asked urgently.

Henry said quietly, "No, she doesn't even remember where she met that person. She only remembers seeing him."

"This..." The old man’s eyes immediately showed disappointment.

Henry patted the back of his hand. "But don't worry, Grandpa. Yvonne’s social circle is small. I'll check on the people she meets every day and 1 believe I will find him." "I hope so." The old man smiled bitterly.

After finally getting a clue about his youngest grandson, the plan was disrupted again.

He couldn't remember how many times he had his hopes high and got disappointed in the past two decades.

Knock, knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Henry let go of the old man's hands and turned away t o open the door.

The door opened and Yvonne was standing outside with her hand still on the doorknob.

"What's the matter?” Henry asked while looking at her.

Yvonne put her hand down. "Sue told me to ask you and Grandpa to come down for dinner."

"Got it. You can head downstairs first." Henry nodded.

Yvonne didn't leave. Instead, she looked behind Henry. She saw the old man frowning and she couldn't help being curious. "What happened to Grandpa?"
