Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 333

Yvonne was starting to worry. "I don’t know, I’m just guessing. It may not necessarily be a collusion."

"I know, but what if it’s true?" Sue was still worried.

Yvonne was silent for a while. "If it’s true, then..."

"Then let’s tell sir so that he can investigate to see if there really is collusion. If there isn’t, then he can proceed to buy the land," Sue suggested.

Yvonne pursed her lips. "Let's not bother him. There’s no way that he would miss out on something this important, so I think he must've a plan set in place. Moreover, there are only two people involved in this auction: Elliot and him. Maybe he won't end up buying the land either."

"Hm...alright then." Sue nodded slightly after listening to her.

Yvonne picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, but she had lost her appetite after that. She quickly finished the rice in the bowl and carried a thermos container before hurrying out the door to go t o the nursing home for the old man. 1

When she arrived, she saw that something seemed off about the old man’s expression-he seemed like he just had a fit.

"Madam, you're here." Frederick took the thermos container in her hand and greeted her with a smile.

Yvonne smiled back before pointing at the old man." What's the matter with Grandpa?"

"Master just met someone horrible," Frederick replied.

Yvonne blinked curiously. "Someone horrible?"

"Yes." Frederick nodded.

Yvonne asked again, "Who?"

Frederick hesitated to tell her, but the old man suddenly said, "It's the woman from the Conrad family."

"Conrad family? Jacqueline!" Yvonne's eyes widened i n shock.

The old man replied, "That’s right."

Yvonne was shocked. "Why did she come here?"

"Who knows? She claimed she was here to see me, but in fact she was probably here to see when I'm going to die. I’m furious." The old man punched the bed angrily.

Yvonne worried that his rage might take a toll on his body, so she quickly changed the subject with a smile. "It's fine, Grandpa, since she’s a horrible person, let’s not talk about her anymore. I brought you chicken soup, so you should have some."

"Okay." The old man’s eyes brightened when he heard i t was chicken soup. He looked on excitedly as Yvonne served the soup. "Yvonne’s the best, unlike Henry who’s always asking me to have light, bland, tasteless food." "Henry is also worried about your body, Grandpa." Yvonne smiled and passed the soup to the old man.

The old man took the bowl of soup from her after a few seconds of silence, and slowly drank it with a spoon. His movements seemed to be slower than usual.

When Yvonne saw this, she felt a lump in her throat but quickly raised her head slightly to look up at the ceiling so that she would not lose her composure.

However, Frederick noticed everything and nodded with relief. "Madam, you'll visit more often in the future to take care of the old man, so come meet me outside. I'm show you the way around the nursing home and you won't have any trouble finding your way in the future."

"Okay," Yvonne responded and nodded to the old man before she headed out after Frederick.

They walked in the corridor as Yvonne turned to look a t the man next to her. "Frederick, did you ask to see m e intentionally as a distraction?"

Frederick chuckled, "Madam's very smart."

Yvonne blushed. "No, I believe Grandpa can probably tell from such an obvious hint."

"Yes, I did ask to see you outside intentionally. I actually wanted to ask you, did something happen yesterday?" Frederick looked at her.

Yvonne's eyes flickered as she hesitated about telling him everything that went down yesterday.

Frederick saw her reluctance so he smiled and said," Jacqueline came over today and said something baseless to the old man. She said that the young master is going to marry her in order to lure out the Lancaster family’s enemy."

"She really said that?" Yvonne stopped abruptly.

Frederick nodded. "Yes, that's why I’m asking if anything happened to you yesterday, because Jacqueline said that she went to see the young master yesterday to talk about this, and the young master agreed."
