Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 283

"It's nothing, I'm just worried that if Chairman Taylor really was the person who kidnapped your brother, it would be obvious that he has a deep grudge against the Lancasters. If so, you need to be extremely cautious. I’m worried he will harm you," nagged Yvonne worriedly.

Henry's heart softened as he reached out to caress her hair and said in a gentle voice, "I understand.”

"So when will you be back?" asked Yvonne.

Henry turned to look at Joe.

Joe immediately opened up Henry’s itinerary on his phone. "Mr. Lancaster has an important meeting in the afternoon two days from now. He will be back early in the morning on that day."

"Two days..." Yvonne raised an eyebrow. "That would mean you wouldn't be able to attend Mom and Dad's death anniversary?"

"That's right, you'll go in my stead."

"But what should I tell Grandpa? Should I tell him the truth?" Yvonne blinked.

Henry thought deeply for a few seconds. "I will inform Grandpa myself, you don't have to worry about that." "Alright." Yvonne nodded her head.

Henry spoke again, "Also, about Jacqueline, just send her away when she wakes up."

Yvonne pursed her lips. "What if she refuses to leave and does the same thing she did yesterday again?”

"If she refuses to leave, give me a call. I’ll arrange for someone to take her away," replied Henry.

Yvonne shrugged her shoulders and said, "Remember what you just said. Don't go soft on me when that actually happens."

"Am I so untrustworthy?" Henry squinted his eyes.

Yvonne replied in a calm voice, "Trust is built and actions speak louder than words. Seeing how you worried you were last night..."

"I have my reasons for being worried for her. Didn't I tell you that last night?" Henry frowned.

Yvonne bit her lip and said, "But you didn’t tell me the reason."

"So that's what you're still hung up on. I thought I told you that I can’t tell you the reason now, didn't I?" Henry's voice deepened.

Yvonne clenched her fist and glared at him, slightly unhappy. "You never tell me the exact reason in detail, hence I have to blindly guess the answer every time. How should I trust you?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the couple was turning awkward, Joe rubbed his nose and stood up to break the awkwardness by coughing.

"Well then... Mr. Lancaster, you should hurry up and eat your breakfast. You're almost late for your flight."

It was then that Yvonne remembered that Henry had a plane to catch. She looked at him, and her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but the words could not come out of her mouth. In the end, she lowered her head and walked towards the dining room.

Henry knew that she was deliberately giving him a way out of their awkward situation. His face calmed and felt apologetic immediately.

He paced towards her and grabbed onto her arm. "I'm sorry about what just happened."

"What are you sorry for?" Yvonne did not look at him and only had her eyes lowered to look at her slippers.

Henry let go of her arm and used both his hands to hold up Yvonne’s head. "If you really want to know the reason why I'm concerned about Jacqueline even though I don't love her anymore, I promise that I will tell you everything after I come back from my trip."

A light of shock flashed through her eyes. "What made you come around?"

Henry put down his hands from her face. "Your words just reminded me that I need to be honest for you to be able to trust me. So, I've come around."

Yvonne smiled. "Alright then, I'll wait for you to return home and tell me everything." "Ok." Henry held her hand and said, "Let's eat."

As they finished, the couple walked hand-in-hand to the dining room.

After breakfast, Henry left the villa with Joe following behind him.

Yvonne stood by the villa's entrance to send him off. When his car was no longer visible, she walked back into the living room with a heavy heart.

Sue brought out a honey drink for her. "Has sir left?"

"Yes," replied Yvonne as she received the cup.

Sue knew why Henry was going overseas and sighed." I really do hope that sir is able to bring back young sir."
