Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 373

"Why are you here?" he asked.

Yvonne followed him to the desk and answered, "I’m worried, so I came over to check on you."

"Worried?” Henry sat down in his chair. "What are you worried about? Me or the company?"

Hearing this, Yvonne looked away awkwardly. "Both, but I'd like to know how you plan to solve this?"

"It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you.” Henry looked at her.

Yvonne pursed her lower lip, "What do you mean it doesn't matter? I’m also the..."

"That's enough. I’ll handle this myself and you don't need to worry about it. You should head back." Henry chased her out.

Yvonne was dumbfounded. "But I’m not done speaking.”

"We'll talk about it later. I’ll be going to the Land Administration Office after this. I don’t have much time to accompany you," Henry said while pulling the USB drive from his computer.

Seeing this, Yvonne sighed helplessly and prepared to leave.

But the moment she turned around, Henry stopped her again. "Last night, you..."

"Huh?" Yvonne looked at him.

Henry lowered his eyes. "Did you come back last night?"

Yvonne said, "You were drunk last night. Sue asked m e to come back and change your clothes."

Henry tightened the USB drive in his hand, and his voice became much deeper. "Then why did you leave? I s Elliot's apartment more attractive than your own home?"

Yvonne frowned. "How can you say that?"

"Am I wrong? Don't you prefer Elliot’s apartment better?” Henry stood up, staring at her with his dark eyes.

She couldn't see his emotions through his eyes. Instead, he was calm which made her feel uneasy.

She clenched her fists and forced herself not to think s o much. She calmly replied, "I don’t prefer anyone's apartment. I think the reason why I don't go back to the villa is obvious. Sue can see it, and Elliot can see i 1.1 don't believe you can’t. But you're doing nothing!"

Henry’s pupils trembled for a moment and he didn't answer.

Yvonne looked at the ceiling. After calming herself for a while, she said, "Since we're talking about this, I will not hide anything anymore. I just wanted you to apologize when I moved out. I don't think that I’m very demanding, but you pretended to not understand anything. Do you think I'd feel good about this?"

She pointed at her heart and didn't wait for Henry’s answer. She went on and said, "No, it's not good at all. I even doubted many times whether you, Henry Lancaster, are worthy of my love. Because in your heart, your dignity, your self-esteem, and your ego are more important than me!"

"There's no such thing!" Henry retorted in a deep voice.

Yvonne laughed at herself, "Tell me then. What's going on? If I’m wrong, why can't you apologize?"

Henry lowered his eyes. "I will apologize, but not now!"

"Not now?" Yvonne was stunned for a moment. Then, she was angry. "Why not now? It's just an apology. As long as you say it, I might forgive you and it will only take a few seconds, which will not waste your time. So why do you need to..."

"I have my plan!" Henry interrupted her.

Yvonne choked, "What’s your plan?"

"You'll find out later." Henry pinched the area between his eyebrows.

Yvonne laughed angrily, "Later. It's always later. To you, there's only the future and no present? Why don't you ask me if I'm willing to accept what you called the future? You've always been this way, acting so arbitrarily. You always make your own decisions and never ask about other peoples' opinions. Ask yourself

She pointed at the man's chest. "Is that fair to me? I always think of you in everything, but how about you? Have you ever thought about it? I've decided not to see you before you apologize to me. But as soon as I heard that you were drunk, I came back to take care of you. I f it was you, would you do the same?"

She was always so soft-hearted to him.

But what about him? What had he done for her?

"Calm down!" Henry reached out and held Yvonne’s fingers on his chest. "I'm doing this for you!"
