Yvonne nodded her head lightly. "Yes."
"Are you not worried that Mr. Lancaster will bring her t o the villa if you head back now?" Elliot stood up as well.
Yvonne lightly smiled, "I don't think so. It’s been a few hours and I've calmed down. Come to think of it, it could be a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Puzzled, Elliot looked at her and said, "Do you think it's a misunderstanding that they hugged or Mr. Lancaster's divorce idea?"
Yvonne lowered her eyes. "Perhaps both."
"What do you mean?"
Yvonne took a deep breath and briefly explained her thoughts. "The Lancaster family is currently in trouble. Someone is getting help from the Conrad family to ruin the Lancaster family. Perhaps Henry tricked Jacqueline to find Dominic so that he can figure out the person behind this."
"You really think so? What if that’s not the case?" Elliot asked Yvonne. 1
Yvonne’s heart tugged a little, but she replied certainly, "I trust him. If he really wants to be with Jacqueline, he would not wait until now." "Okay, I get what you mean. Let me send you back."
Elliot fiddled with his car key.
Yvonne smiled gratefully, "Thank you."
After that, she picked up the coat from the back of the chair and left the cafe with him.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when she returned to the villa.
Yvonne stood outside of the villa, holding the access card in her hand for a while, and didn't open the door.
In the end, Sue saw her while she was taking the trash out. She hurriedly came over to open the door." Madam?"
"Sue," Yvonne replied with a forced smile.
Sue was so happy that she nearly cried. "Madam, you're finally back. Where have you been this afternoon?"
Yvonne walked into the villa. "I was strolling outside."
"How could you stroll for so long? Do you know how worried I was? I was shocked because you suddenly ran out of the company." Sue poured her a cup of hot tea.
Yvonne took it and thanked her. She then said, "Sorry for making you worry, Sue."
"It’s fine, but sir..."
Yvonne's eyes flashed. "What happened to him?" "He's been looking for you, madam. But your phone is turned off and he couldn’t locate you. He went to the Taylor Group after he found out that you hopped into Elliot's car and he hasn't returned yet," Sue replied.
Yvonne pursed her lips. "I see."
"Madam, you should return a call to sir and inform him that you're back." Sue looked at her.
Yvonne continued sipping her tea silently, pretending that she didn’t hear Sue.
Sue sighed. She knew Yvonne was still worried about what happened earlier, so she didn't say much and took out her mobile phone. "I'll call sir then."
After saying that, she called Henry.
Henry rushed home after receiving the call.
As soon as he entered the living room, he asked Yvonne, "Where have you been?"
He sounded cold, but she could tell that he was concerned.
No one knew how anxious he was when he couldn't find her.
Now that he saw that she had safely returned home, h e was relieved but also angry.
She got into another man's car without informing him and didn't pick up his phone call. Not to mention, she also returned home late. 1 "I just had coffee outside," Yvonne replied casually.
Henry tightened his lips. "Why didn't you answer my call?"
"I didn't want to pick it up." Yvonne looked down.
