Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 335

Henry was startled and immediately frowned." Jacqueline went to the nursing home?"

"Yes."

"When did that happen?" Henry pursed his lips.

"In the afternoon," Yvonne replied.

Henry squeezed the tea cup in his hand. "What did she say to Grandpa?"

"Maybe you can ask Grandpa yourself. However, when I met her, she cursed Grandpa." Yvonne then reiterated the conversation she had with Jacqueline.

After Henry heard everything, his face turned gloomy and he smashed the teacup on the coffee table.

'Bang!'

The teacup was not placed properly and spilled on the table and all over the floor. His hands were also scalded by the hot tea.

Yvonne became anxious and she quickly removed Henry's hand from the table. "What're you doing? You burnt yourself and still left your hand on the table."

Henry clenched his fists and said nothing.

Yvonne glared and shouted, "Sue." "Yes, madam?" Sue came out of the kitchen.

Yvonne instructed, "Get me the first aid kit. Henry scalded his hands."

"What? Scalded?" Sue exclaimed.

Yvonne nodded.

Sue replied, "Yes, I'll go get it right away."

She hurried back to the kitchen to look for the first aid kit and when Yvonne got the kit, she immediately got a bandage and put it on Henry.

Henry looked at the bandage on the back of his hand and his eyes softened for a moment, but soon they returned cold.

He pulled his hand away from Yvonne's and took out his cell phone to call Frederick. He asked Frederick about what happened during the day.

Frederick did not try to hide from him and told him the details about what happened. After hearing that and what Yvonne said earlier, Henry was furious.

"Jacqueline! How dare she!" Henry clenched his jaw tightly, his eyes cold as ice.

Yvonne glanced at him. "Weren't these caused by your indulgence?"

Henry squinted his eyes. "Indulgence?"

"Yes, you know that the Conrad family and the Lancaster family are enemies, but you indulge Jacqueline and ignore it. If it were up to me, I'd lock her up so she won't be able to do anything. Dominic might even show up to save her," Yvonne said lightly.

Henry did not expect to hear those words from her, but he had to admit what she said was true.

If he had controlled Jacqueline from the very beginning, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to g o to the nursing home to provoke Grandpa, let alone cursing Grandpa to death.

"Got it. I'll think about what you said," Henry frowned.

Yvonne sighed, "Why do you even need to think about i t? Why can’t you just do it? Henry, what about Jacqueline are you concerned about?"

Henry looked down and said nothing.

Yvonne felt emotionally drained. She stood up and looked at him with conflicting emotions. "It's always the same cycle. Every time something happens, you never want to share. Is it that important to keep it a secret? I’m your wife, and I should share your burden with you, but you shut me out every time. Do you think this is fair to me?"

Henry's eyes flickered, but he still did not speak.

When Yvonne saw this, disappointment flashed across her eyes and she wanted to leave to go upstairs.

However, Henry suddenly grabbed her and pulled her back to the sofa. "Jacqueline once saved my mom."

"What?" Yvonne was stunned. "S-saved your...mom?"

She felt incredibly awkwardly saying the word, "mom."

After all, when she married into the Lancaster family, she had no mother-in-law, and she had never called Henry's mother "mom."

That was why she was so awkward when she said that.

Henry glanced at Yvonne. He did not react much to her saying "mom." He then looked away and said," Yes, it was a long time ago. My mother was still alive a t the time. She suffered because of what happened to Hayden. It took a toll on her and her heart was not well. One day, she almost fainted when she was out, and it was Jacqueline who found out and notified us."

"So because of this, you've never really treated Jacqueline..."

Henry nodded.
