Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 274

Yvonne pointed to the plaster on his neck, pretending as if she did not know that it was a birthmark underneath.

She did not forget what Henry had told her before, how Hayden was kidnapped by someone who had a grudge against the Lancasters. And hence there was a chance that Hayden had been brainwashed by them t o become a tool to get revenge against the Lancasters.

That was why she could only test him through some other methods instead of asking directly to avoid suspicion.

"You mean this?" Elliot covered the part of his neck that Yvonne had pointed to.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes, I never noticed that you had something on your neck before. Now that you're covering it up, were you really injured?"

"I’m not injured, it’s just that there’s a rather unsightly birthmark on it,” replied Elliot calmly.

Yvonne nervously grabbed onto her thigh and said," What kind of birthmark?"

"What’s up? You’re being awfully curious.” Elliot squinted his charming eyes and looked at her.

His pupils were black in color, and it was not the usual amber color that one saw normally. His were so black that it was like staring into a black hole, slowly sucking one in.

Yvonne was anxious and worried that he would notice something was wrong and averted her gaze. Then she replied stiffly, "It's nothing. It’s just rare to see a birthmark on someone's neck, that’s all."

"It really is quite rare, but I’m not going to tell you what it looks like." Elliot curved his lips upwards and continued, "Unless, you divorce Henry and get together with me. Then I’ll show it to you every day, how about it? Not just the birthmark, but I’ll let you see every part of my body all you want."

Yvonne squinted and a few dark lines appeared on her forehead. "Enough!”

Elliot laughed heartily. "Alright, I'll stop joking. I should go now, the car's ready. Eye!"

He waved his hands at her and walked off with his head held high.

Yvonne gradually started to calm down. She was deep in thought as she saw Elliot walking away-there were so many holes in the puzzle.

He had a red birthmark which completely matched Hayden Lancaster’s profile. However, she was unable t o say for sure if he actually was Hayden.

"Madam, I'll start the car now, please be seated," said Luke suddenly. Yvonne gathered her thoughts when she heard him.

Yvonne's eyes lit up as she came around. She winded u p the car windows and said, "Alright, let's go then."

The car revved.

Yvonne rubbed her cheek and came to a decision. It didn't matter if he was Elliot or Taylor-the birthmark on his neck was enough reason to investigate further.

She must inform Henry about her discovery when she arrived at the office.

There was no way she would pass up such a huge lead on finding Hayden after all the effort she'd put in.

As she thought of this, she took a deep breath and calmed herself. She would control her emotions and her thoughts until she arrived at the office.

However, by the time she arrived at the office, it was already half an hour past her working hours. In other words, she was royally late for work!

Her team leader had called her into his office and lectured her for a good while, finally letting her off after asking her to write him a 500-word report to repent for her mistake.

"Are you alright Yvonne?" asked the concerned Lynette as she saw Yvonne returning to her place with her head sinking low.

Yvonne shook her head and replied, "I'm fine, it’s just my hand is a little sore from writing that repentance report."

"The leader asked you to do that?” Lynette looked at her surprisedly.

Yvonne shrugged. "Yeap.”

"So you've finished writing it?”

"Would I be able to come back if I hadn’t finished?” Yvonne laughed wryly.

"That's true.” Lynette gazed at Yvonne for a while before asking again, "Did something happen to you? You're rarely late for work.”

"Nothing happened. I merely ran into traffic on the way.” Yvonne turned on her computer. "Alright Lyn, let's get back to work.”

"Ok." Lynette could only leave it at that and suppressed her urge to ask more. She then got back to work as well.

After work, Yvonne turned off her computer and rushed off before Lynette could even ask her where she was going for lunch that day.
