Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 280

"I'm alright,” replied Yvonne with a wry smile, her throat slightly dry. “Just feeling a little cold from the wind."

Sue rubbed her hands together and said, "Let’s head back into the villa then madam."

"It's ok, let's wait for Henry.” Yvonne shook her head and looked at the rainy scenery.

After staring in that direction for a few minutes, Henry appeared with Jacqueline in his arms from within the mist caused by the rain.

Both of them were completely drenched. Jacqueline was lying in his arms with her wig covering her face. Hence, Yvonne was unable to see her face.

However, she could see that Jacqueline’s skin was so pale that it looked as if she was a corpse.

It was obvious that Jacqueline was not in good condition at that moment.

However, Yvonne was not concerned about all this. She was only concerned about Henry.

"H-Henry..." Yvonne called out to him subconsciously a s Henry walked past her with Jacqueline in his arms.

However, Henry did not reply to her and continued to carry Jacqueline into the villa without even looking at her. He had completely ignored Yvonne.

Yvonne’s face paled, and her heart froze as well.

She held tightly onto Sue’s hand, her voice slightly croaky as she said, "Sue, do you think Henry couldn't hear me, or did he ignore me on purpose?" 1

Sue could feel that she was in pain and patted her hand in sympathy. "Don't think too much about it madam, the rain is so heavy that sir actually might not have heard you. It’s understandable."

"Is that so? But I can't shake the feeling that he did it o n purpose. Also, I saw it in his eyes as he carried Jacqueline inside. Those eyes showed concern for Jacqueline." Yvonne’s face turned bitter, i

Yvonne had prepared herself for this day to come.

Yet when she saw how concerned Henry was for Jacqueline at the time, her heart was in so much pain.

This was enough to prove that Henry had not meant it when he said he did not care for Jacqueline any longer when in fact he still had some feelings for her. Although those feelings may not have been as strong a s they used to be, Jacqueline was still his first love and that made it unforgettable for him.

Sue was sharp enough to realize what Yvonne was thinking at that moment. She took a deep breath and sighed, then feigned ignorance and said, "I think you’re overthinking things madam. It is normal for sir to be worried for Jacqueline. I would be too if I were in his shoes."

"What?" Yvonne was startled and couldn’t comprehend what Sue had just said.

Sue smiled and said, "Think about it madam. If sir had not carried Jacqueline in at the time, she could've died with the condition she was in. If that had really happened, the consequences that would have followed would be unthinkable. I believe sir thought of this and was anxious, hence his actions just now.”

Yvonne twitched her lips, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Sue..."

Of course she knew that Sue had said all that just to console her and stop her from thinking too much.

But undeniably, Yvonne felt better thanks to her.

"Alright madam, let's go back inside. It's so cold outside that we might catch a cold if we stay any longer," reminded Sue.

Yvonne nodded. "Let's go."

Back at the villa, the living room was empty so it was obvious the two of them were upstairs.

Yvonne was worried that Henry had carried Jacqueline to his room and grabbed Sue as they hurried upstairs together.

It wasn't until they arrived upstairs that Yvonne realized that she had really overthought things this time.

Henry had placed Jacqueline in the guest room instead of his own room.

Yvonne let out a sigh of relief and felt embarrassed at the same time for misunderstanding Henry.

She knocked on the door with her reddened face. The door was half-open at the time, so Yvonne had walked in without waiting for a reply after knocking.

The room was quiet. Jacqueline was lying by the bed with Henry sitting beside her, his gaze fixed at Jacqueline.

Yvonne felt a sharp burning pain stinging her when she saw this. Tears began to gather around her eyes.

She bit her lip and thought to herself. Did Henry sit beside her like he did now when she was in a coma previously?

"Madam," said Sue as she nudged Yvonne when she saw that something was wrong with her.

Yvonne realized that she was out of order and took a deep breath before calling out to the man that was by the bed. "Henry."
