Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 282

Henry pursed his lips. "I can't tell you now. You’ll come to know about it eventually. Hurry up and get some rest after you're washed up."

He turned and left the room after he spoke.

Although Yvonne did not know if Henry had told the truth or not, her heart felt a little better.

She even thought to herself that if Henry sent Jacqueline away tomorrow, she would not mind about the care he had for Jacqueline tonight.

When she was done, Yvonne went back to the bedroom.

The lights had been turned off, and only a bed light remained lit.

Yvonne looked to the bed and saw that Henry was fast asleep.

She was not surprised at how quickly Henry had fallen asleep. He had stayed awake for a full day. He was obviously exhausted.

Yvonne sighed before tiptoeing to her side of the bed and laid down after opening up the blanket.

What she did not expect was for a hand to grab her waist and pull her into his arms just as she got into bed.

"Aren't you asleep?” asked Yvonne in surprise, her body remained still.

Henry replied without opening his eyes, "Almost."

His voice sounded so lazy it was obvious that he was going to fall asleep soon.

Yvonne noticed this and whispered, "Oh, then I won’t disturb you, get some sleep."

"Ok," said Henry. He fell silent after that.

Yvonne stayed tucked in his arms without moving. Her eyes were wide open, blinking occasionally.

Not long after that, a rhythmic breathing sound could b e heard from above her head.

Yvonne silently lifted her head to look at the man who was sound asleep.

The man's face was so perfect-even the dark circles beneath his eyes and the light green circle below his lips did nothing to ruin his handsomeness. Instead, they made him look even more attractive.

Overall, this man could be referred to as God's masterpiece. He always looked charming and attractive no matter what situation he was in.

That was how she had fallen in love at first sight with that face of his.

Therefore, as she saw how exhausted his face was, she wasn't able to keep a grudge against his actions tonight. She even felt sorry for him as she wondered if he had managed to resolve the issue he had at work.

As she thought of this, Yvonne let off a wry laugh and mumbled quietly, "You really are my mortal enemy..."

She was destined to lose to him the moment she had fallen in love with him at first sight. "There was a myth that the person who falls in love first is the loser. It seems that the myth was true..."

As for what was going to happen in the future, she did not dare to think about it, not since Jacqueline's appearance at the charity gala.

At that moment, her heart began to dance around as her thoughts went wild, even her eyes showed her uncertainty for her own future. All those emotions entwined together had affected her sleep. She woke u p the next day early in the wee hours, much earlier than Henry.

Sue couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Yvonne walking down the stairs. "Madam, why are you awake so early?"

Yvonne yawned and replied, "I can’t sleep, so I might a s well wake up. How’s that person?"

She pointed at the guest room upstairs.

Sue pursed her lips. "I checked on her this morning, her fever's subsided, yet she’s still not awake."

"I see." Yvonne nodded in acknowledgment.

Sue poured her a glass of warm water. "Is sir still asleep?”

"Yes, he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for a full day. Let him sleep a while longer,’’ replied Yvonne as she received the glass of water.

Sue felt sympathy for Henry and sighed. "That’s true, the Lancaster Group is so large. Sir has had to wake u p early daily and rarely gets to sleep for more than seven hours. I feel sorry for him."

Yvonne laughed and drank her glass of water without replying.

Sue sat beside her and said, "Now that I think of it, did you ask sir when he was going to send the girl away?"
