Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 29

"Madam should have gone to bed already. Did you need anything from her? Should I wake her up?” Sue set the remote down.

Henry raised his hand to stop her. "It's alright, I will go myself."

After saying that, he went upstairs.

The room was dark and so quiet that he could hear a pin drop.

Henry turned on the lamp and light instantly flooded the room.

He glanced at the bed and saw a lump under the quilt. Someone was obviously on the bed.

"She really went to sleep!" Henry muttered under his breath. He approached the bed quietly and looked down at the woman. 1

She had really fallen asleep. Her sleeping face looked pretty angelic, but he could tell that she wasn’t sleeping peacefully from the way her eyebrows were slightly knitted together.

Was she having a nightmare?

Henry reached out and touched her forehead, but perished the thought of waking her up.

Forget it, he would just talk to her tomorrow.

He had put it off for so many days, so it didn’t matter i f he delayed it for another night.

Henry took off his suit jacket and undid his necktie before heading to the bathroom.

When Yvonne woke up in a daze the next day, she felt something heavy on her waist and couldn’t turn over.

She reached out to feel it in her annoyance, only to find that it was an arm!

Yvonne was instantly startled awake. She turned her head around and saw a man lying next to her.

It was Henry Lancaster!

"Why are you here?" Yvonne's eyes went wide and she was beyond shock.

When did he come back last night?

And when did he come up onto the bed?

She didn't realize it at all!

Henry cracked open his eyes in displeasure. His voice was horse from just waking up. "I'm your husband. So why do you think I'm here?"

This woman really lacked the awareness that she was married! 1

Yvonne was stunned for a moment before scratching her head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm still not used t o you coming back and living here..." "I think you are obviously used to freedom," Henry pointed that out with a cold face, then took off the quilt and got up.

Yvonne pouted aggrievedly.

That wasn't true at all.

She just hadn't fully accepted the fact that he had come back to stay here, i

Besides, he only came back and stayed two for nights after so many days. 1

Yvonne sighed, then patted her cheeks before getting u P-

After breakfast, Henry dropped her off at the usual intersection as he did twice before.

She jogged her way to her workplace. As soon as she walked through the door, she sensed people gossiping and whispering about her.

"It's her..."

"So she's the one..."

"Yeah, what a joke."

What was going on?

Yvonne looked around, unable to comprehend the situation.

The whispers were barely audible. Even if she couldn't hear them clearly, her instincts told her that they must be talking badly of her. She quickly stepped into the elevator and didn’t bother to ask anyone about

anything.

When she reached the top floor and went past the other three secretary offices, she noticed that the doors were shut. It would seem like the other three secretaries had really resigned from the company.

It was at this moment that she realized a very serious problem. Who would do their work if they left?

Was she going to be the only one doing everything?

Yvonne's head spun at the thought and instantly felt unwell.

"Miss Frey." Joe’s voice rang out behind her. 1

Yvonne turned around and greeted him dejectedly. " Good morning, Mr. Woods.”

"Morning. Why are you standing around here?"

"Nothing, just wondering if my workload will be increased from now on," she replied bitterly.

Joe instantly understood what she meant and couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry about it, Miss Frey. Mr. Lancaster has already informed me to transfer three secretaries from the headquarters of the Lancaster Group. I believe they will be arriving tomorrow. We won’t dump all the work on you."
