Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 34

The woman on the other end of the line repeated her question again when she didn’t get a response from Yvonne after a long time. "Hello? Who are you? I’m gonna hang up if you’re not gonna tell me anything."

"Hold on, don't hang up first!" Yvonne quickly stopped her.

The woman really didn't hang up. "Then hurry up."

"Okay, I’ll tell you." Yvonne took a deep breath and pulled herself together. "I’m Henry’s wife. May I ask who you are?"

"Wife?" The woman's voice became sharp again." You’re telling me that you’re Henry's wife?"

"Yes."

The woman sneered coldly. "Excuse me, Miss. Henry isn’t married yet. How would he have a wife? Can you lie a bit smarter?"

Yvonne was choked by her harsh words as confusion grew inside her.

She was really Henry's wife, but everyone else in this world thought that Henry was single. She was really a failure of a wife. 1

And she was bothered by this woman's existence.

Why would she be holding Henry's phone this late at night and calling him so intimately by his first name? I t would seem like they were more than just friends.

Thinking of this, Yvonne took a deep breath to suppress the jealousy in her heart and asked calmly," Miss, you haven't answered me yet. Who are you?"

"My name is Jacqueline Conrad," she replied.

"You’re Jacqueline Conrad?" Yvonne's eyes widened i n shock as she raised her voice.

She didn’t manage to meet Jacqueline during the day. Little did she expect she would be talking to her like this at night on the same day.

"You know me?” Jacqueline raised her nearly bald eyebrows.

Yvonne squeezed her phone tightly. "No... Not really, I’ve just heard of your name."

"Is that so?" Jacqueline narrowed her eyes in disbelief.

Yvonne hummed glumly then asked, "Miss Conrad, is Henry still with you now?"

"He’s taking a shower right now. Do you need him for anything?"

Yvonne nearly bit the tip of her tongue as the expression on her face slowly turned frosty. "Never mind then, I... I’m just asking..."

Taking a shower...? i

It was already so late, and Henry was taking a shower at Jacqueline's place. Could it be that they were...

No, it shouldn't be possible. Jacqueline was sick. How could they do something like that? She must be thinking too much.

The thought made Yvonne feel a little better, but she was even more bothered about the relationship between Henry and Jacqueline.

She tossed her phone on the table, then brought her feet up and curled up on the chair, feeling extremely depressed.

When Sue came out after washing the dishes, she became worried when she saw Yvonne acting weird." Madam, is something wrong?"

"I'm fine," Yvonne buried her head in her knees.

"How can you convince me when you look like this?" Sue walked over to her. "Did you fight with sir?"

Yvonne shook her head.

Thinking that she had guessed it correctly, Sue sighed softly. "Is sir still coming back tonight then?"

"Maybe not." Yvonne sniffed, her voice was dry. "He might be staying in the hospital tonight."

"Hospital?" Sue was stunned. "Is he sick?"

Yvonne lifted her head. "No, he is just taking care of Jacqueline in the hospital."

"Did you say Jacqueline just now, madam?" Sue went pale from shock.

Yvonne was surprised by her strong reaction. "Yes. Do you know her, Sue?" "Yes, I do." Sue nodded with a conflicted look on her face. "She is the daughter of the Conrad family, and sir's..."

She glanced at Yvonne and abruptly stopped speaking.

"Henry’s what?"

Seeing that Sue had stopped midway through her words, Yvonne grew even more curious about their relationship. It wasn't just curiosity, but also nervousness.

Sue waved her hands and didn't want to continue on this topic. "It's nothing. Since sir won't be back tonight, please go back to your room and rest early, madam. I should get going too."

She took off her apron and walked away in a hurry.
