Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 303

Bang!

Yvonne's forehead collided against the windshield and she gasped in pain.

Henry didn't expect that at all. He promptly slammed o n the brakes and the car screeched to a halt before he unfastened his seatbelt and then reached out to check on her.

A frown instantly appeared on his face when he saw a large red patch on her forehead. "Why are you such an idiot?" i

Yvonne was a little annoyed. "Who are you calling an idiot? I was just caught off guard by your question..."

"You're just feeling guilty, aren't you?" Henry shot her a cold glance, then opened the small fridge. He took out a can of cold beer and tossed it to her. "Use this on it. Wouldn't want Grandpa to see it and think I did that to you."

"Wasn't that what happened?" Yvonne muttered under her breath.

That didn't escape Henry’s ears and he gave her the silent stare.

Yvonne shrank in her seat and said nothing else.

The man looked away, then tapped his finger on the steering wheel. "Spill it. Why did you go looking for

Elliot?"

"Just to ask a few questions. But how did you find out

"Someone was talking about it in the community group chat. The person who started the discussion was Elliot’s housekeeper," Henry said flatly.

Yvonne was taken aback by the revelation. "You're saying Elliot deliberately made my visit known?" 1

"What else could it be? His objective is nothing more than letting me know," Henry snorted coldly.

Yvonne bit her lower lip. "Sorry, I didn't expect he would..." 1

Elliot probably did this to make Henry misunderstand the situation and make both of them fight.

What a sinister man he was.

"That’s enough. I'm not interested in his intention. I only want to know what questions you asked him.” Henry got the car moving again.

Yvonne pressed the cold beer can against her forehead. "Nothing interesting in particular, just..."

She went on to giving Henry the purpose and details o f her visit to Elliot without omitting anything.

After listening to her, Henry's eyes narrowed into slits. "Shane..."

"Well, he claimed that Shane knows, but I'm not sure how much. I didn't ask Shane either." Yvonne looked out of the window.

The only thing she didn't understand was why Elliot kept urging her to investigate the matter herself.

"If what Elliot said is true and that person really exists, then I’ll deal with this matter. You just stay out of trouble and don't get yourself involved," Henry reminded her.

Yvonne pouted, "But I wanna do something for you too."

"Thank you. You’re already doing me a favor by staying safe. You don't have to concern yourself with anything else, understand?" Henry warned her again.

Yvonne didn't dare to defy his order so she just nodded several times. No one knew the thoughts in her heart except for herself.

When the two arrived at the family residence, they were just in time for dinner.

The old man had been waiting in the dining room for a while. At the sight of both of them, the old man smiled so broadly that his eyes disappeared as he ushered them to sit down.

Dinner was extremely sumptuous. The menu was specially put together by the kitchen under Master Lancaster’s arrangement.

There was no doubt that the chef in the family residence was a better cook than Sue was. Yvonne ate a lot and only set her spoon down when she was so stuffed that she could no longer take another bite.

Master Lancaster wiped his mouth and said, "Now that we're done, come with me to my study."

Yvonne glanced at Henry.

Henry offered Yvonne his hand. Her eyes instantly lit u p before putting her hand on his.

The old man nodded with great relief at the scene before him. "I'm relieved to see both of you getting along so well with each other now."
