When she realized that it was Henry and not somebody dangerous, Yvonne felt relieved but she started feeling a little angry.
Why did he try to hold her against her will out of nowhere? She almost thought that she was getting kidnapped again!
"Mm!" Yvonne stared at Henry with her two almond-shaped eyes, and motioned for him to let her go.
Henry saw her fuming eyes and pursed his thin lips a s he removed the hand that was covering her mouth. However, his body was still pressed against her, pushing her against the wall without even budging.
Yvonne took a big breath and complained, "What're you doing? You almost scared me to death!"
"Are you here as Elliot's date?" Henry asked in a deep voice.
Yvonne's eyes flickered and did not deny it. "Yes!"
"How can you be his date? Yvonne, don't you forget that you're married!" Henry clenched his cheeks, a sign that he was suppressing his anger.
Yvonne obviously heard the anger in his tone, and she could not help but sigh. She knew it would be like this when he recognized them.
"I haven't forgotten, but I don't think I've done anything wrong. Elliot has helped me many times. I'm just here as his date to accompany him to an auction. So what?" Yvonne looked at Henry and spoke to him with a cold voice.
Henry laughed angrily, "So what? You're my wife and you don’t think keeping other men company is wrong? Yvonne, what am I to you?"
Yvonne rubbed her temples. "Are you blaming me for not attending this auction as your date?"
Henry pressed his thin lips even tighter and he didn't answer.
Yvonne laughed lightly, "Don't you think you're being unreasonable for blaming me? Have you even told me about this auction? Have you told me that you want m e to accompany you to this auction? You didn't do any of that, so how dare you blame this on me!"
"Even if I didn't, that's not a valid reason for you to be someone else's date!" Henry growled.
Yvonne took a deep breath as she tried to suppress her emotions and replied calmly, "I’m here as Elliot's date to thank him for all the help he's given me, that's all."
"You don’t think it means anything, but what about Elliot? Does he think so too?" Henry was still mad.
Yvonne held her forehead. "What else would he think? The relationship between me and Elliot is completely innocent. Instead of trying to figure out what I do with Elliot, you should just think about all the things I told you this morning. So have you figured out how to solve our relationship problems?"
When Henry heard her, his brows furrowed.
When Yvonne saw that he remained silent, she felt like she understood something and started laughing a t herself. "I guess you haven’t figured it out. If that's the case, then you should continue thinking about it. I should go back now."
"Go back to meet Elliot?" Henry grabbed her arm and refused to let her go.
Yvonne glared at him. "Let me go!"
Henry did not let go, but held her tighter instead. "I won't let you go back to Elliot."
"I'm his date!"
"From this moment on, you are no longer his date."
"There’s no use telling me that, you should go and tell Elliot instead and see if he agrees!" Yvonne looked at him.
Henry narrowed his eyes. "Yvonne, are you just trying t o make me angry?"
Yvonne sneered, "I don't have the time to do that.
You're the one who’s holding me and questioning me."
After that, she shook his hand off and pushed him away before walking past him.
