Henry threw her an indifferent glance. "Enough, this i s my business. You don't have to worry about it. If you've nothing to do, you can go to the nursing home t o take care of Grandpa from tomorrow onward."
"Alright.” Yvonne nodded at the mention of the old man.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had improved a lot, Joe cleared his throat and stood up." Well then Mr. Lancaster, I shall take my leave now."
Henry hummed in response.
Joe gave Yvonne a smile before leaving the villa.
After he left, Sue put away the laptop and asked, "Sir, madam, would you like to have dinner now?"
Yvonne was taken aback for a moment before giving Henry a surprised look. "You haven't eaten yet?"
Henry pressed his thin lips. "I've been looking for you. When would I have had the time to eat?"
On top of that, how could he be in the mood to eat before he could find her?
Yvonne felt a little guilty at Henry's reply. "My bad. I won't act so impulsively next time, sorry.”
"It's okay. Let's eat now." Henry stood up and went to the dining room.
Yvonne looked at Sue, who smiled at her in return. " Let’s go, madam."
"Yeah." Yvonne nodded guiltily.
Henry went upstairs after dinner while Yvonne stayed in the living room.
After reading the design book for a while, she decided that it was about time to go upstairs and rest.
She returned to the room and was about to open the door when she noticed a faint bright light shining through the crack at the bottom of the door.
She was surprised at first, then turned the doorknob before walking in. When she saw the man sitting on the bed with a tablet in hand, she asked suspiciously," Why are you not working in your study today?"
"There's nothing much going on today. Go take a bath." He looked at her.
When Yvonne met his gaze, she instantly recalled the same way he looked at her in the living room earlier and her small face instantly turned as red as a tomato.
"O-Okay...” Yvonne picked her nails slowly as she made her way to the bathroom.
By the time she came out of the bathroom, it was an hour later.
Henry was no longer browsing on his tablet. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and was leaning against the bed head while reading an economics book.
"You..." She pointed to the glasses on his face in surprise and was about to ask something when Henry closed the book and interrupted her, "Come here.”
Yvonne put her finger away and walked over.
He left the book on the bedside table, then reached out and grabbed her by the wrist. He pulled her onto the bed, then flipped over and pinned her under him.
"Take off my glasses for me." He lowered his head and looked at her deeply.
His stare left Yvonne feeling dizzy as she obediently took off his glasses for him. "Why are you suddenly wearing these? I've never seen you wear them before."
"I got slight astigmatism from reading a lot of documents lately," Henry casually replied as he took the glasses from her hand and threw them aside. He then lifted her by the chin and stared at her lips for a few seconds.
"Kiss me," he commanded.
Yvonne was stunned for a moment. "K-...Kiss you?"
"Why? You don't know how to?" Henry stared into her eyes deeply.
Yvonne's eyes darted around nervously. "I..."
He interrupted her again, "You took the initiative before, so you don't have to be shy. Now hurry up!"
Yvonne recalled the memory too. She took a deep breath, then craned her neck and planted a kiss on the man’s lips.
Her kiss was as timid as ever. She didn't dare to be forceful and she didn’t dare to demand for more.
Henry got bored after a while. He let go of her chin and sighed in resignation, "You really haven't improved.”
That was all he said before he took the lead. He pried Yvonne's lips forcefully and the two melted into a passionate kiss...
It was going to be a long night for them.
