"Did I say anything wrong?" Elliot sneered, "You treat Yvonne as an accessory, so you never care about her feelings. You subconsciously think that she should follow the route you planned for her. You think you're doing it for her good, but you never think about what she wants. I think she doesn't want it."
Upon hearing this, Henry's heart trembled.
He couldn't deny that he didn't ask Yvonne and decided on his plan to protect her in this way.
Was he wrong?
Elliot noticed that Henry had some self-doubt and he narrowed his eyes for a moment. "Alright, Mr.
Lancaster. I've told you so much. I'm afraid Yvonne has gone far away. I should look for her and bring her back safely since I was the one who brought her here. So, Mr. Lancaster, I'll make a move first."
He turned around, waved to Henry, and left.
Elliot found Yvonne waiting outside the auction hall. H e went over quickly. "Have you waited for a long time?"
Yvonne looked at him. "What did you tell him?"
"You mean Mr. Lancaster?" Elliot teased her.
Yvonne pursed her lips. "Of course. Who else am I asking about?"
"Haha. I'm just kidding." Elliot waved his hand airily." I didn't tell him much. I just let him know how low his EQ is. Besides, I also hinted to him to apologize to you. But I'm not sure if he can figure that out and come to you."
Yvonne lowered her eyes when she heard this. "I don't think it's going to happen."
"Oh?" Elliot raised his eyebrows. "Why?"
Yvonne shook her head. "I know him too well. He's just too arrogant and he will not give in."
"If that's the case, does that mean you'll never get his apology and both of you will never be reconciled?" Elliot's eyes rolled slightly.
Yvonne didn't notice that. She lowered her head and gave a wry smile. "I'm not sure either."
"Tsk. Your relationship is so intricate. I'd just get a divorce if I were you," Elliot said unintentionally.
Yvonne immediately disagreed. "No. I promised Grandpa that I will not get a divorce." 1
"Why can't you do that? Master Lancaster is a smart guy. How can he make such a silly request? Isn't he binding you on purpose?" Elliot asked tentatively.
Yvonne was so immersed in the sadness of the old man's death that she didn't notice he was deceiving her. Yvonne rubbed her cheeks and replied tiredly," I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
"It's that secretive?" Elliot's eyes flashed.
Yvonne sighed, "It's not secretive, it's about a very important thing. So I can't tell you."
She didn't plan to tell anyone about the shares, including Henry. Unless Henry faced a situation like what Grandpa mentioned, she would tell him and take out the shares for him to make a comeback. 1
If nothing happened, she would keep the shares deep down in her heart and be the most mysterious shareholder of the Lancaster Group until their child was born. Then, she would transfer the shares to the child.
But looking at their current situation, they probably had to postpone their plan of having a child till God knows when.
Thinking of this, Yvonne touched her belly with her pale eyes, looking depressed.
Elliot looked at her, then touched his chin. "Forget about it since you’re not saying it. Does Mr. Lancaster know about the promise you made with Master Lancaster about the divorce?"
Yvonne shook her head lightly. "I didn't tell him.” 2
"I see," Elliot laughed with a hint of gloat in his tone. ' Even Mr. Lancaster doesn't know about it, so I feel equal now."
"What does this have to do with you?" Yvonne rolled her eyes and looked at him. 1
Elliot wiped the corners of his mouth in a meaningful way. "It doesn't matter. I'm just happy to see that Mr. Lancaster is unhappy. Well, we should head back now."
