Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 41

"There's nothing to be angry about." Yvonne pulled out a chair and sat down.

Shane smiled with great interest. "Sis-in-law, you mean..."

"I just think that I won't be able to stop him from seeing who he really wants to see. Since he's not going to listen to me anyway, then what's the point in getting angry? I might as well just accept it."

"But you might be too accepting," Shane smiled at her i n amusement.

Yvonne spread her hands. "What else can I do other than accept it? I can't possibly fight about it like an angry wife, right?"

"Why not? You're Henry’s real wife, so there's nothing wrong with you fighting for him."

Yvonne shook her head. "I can’t possibly bring myself t o do that, it’s too unsightly."

Most importantly, Henry would never side with her even if she fought about it.

In any case, Henry had promised to have a child with her. As long as he wasn’t going to divorce her, she would always be Mrs. Lancaster.

"Sis-in-law, you're really a sensible person.” Light reflected off Shane's glasses, "But do you know why

Henry is so concerned about Jacqueline?"

Yvonne looked down at her fingers, "I do."

"You knew?" Shane raised his eyebrows slightly, looking really surprised now.

"Well, Sue already told me that they used to date," Yvonne forced herself to smile.

Shane pushed up his glasses, suddenly not understanding her anymore. "Since you knew they used to date, I'm sure you can tell that Henry hasn't completely forgotten about her yet. Even so, you're still willing to donate your bone marrow?"

"I'm not as great as you think." Yvonne took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, "I made the decision knowing that Henry still has feelings for Jacqueline, not because I wanted to save her. It is for Henry. I'm sure he'd be very sad if Jacqueline is gone." 2

Shane was taken aback. "You don’t want Henry to be sad, so you..."

"Pretty much," Yvonne tucked her hair behind her ear.

Shane was shaken to his very core as he saw Yvonne i n a new light. He was no longer teasing her or taking her lightly.

"Henry ought to hear those words," he thumbed his pen and mumbled to himself.

"What was that?" Yvonne couldn’t hear him clearly.

Shane smiled at her. This time, his smile was much more sincere. "Nothing. I just suddenly realized that you are completely different from what I imagined."

He always thought that Yvonne was just a petty woman from an ordinary family who was fortunate enough to be chosen by Master Lancaster to marry Henry. Hence, he had always looked down on her. He had only called her ‘sis-in-law’ for fun.

From the looks of it, maybe he had judged her wrongly since the beginning. Yvonne wasn't the one who didn't deserve Henry. It was Henry who didn’t deserve her. This was in terms of their sincerity, which had nothing to do with their family backgrounds. 1

Sincerity was extremely rare among the wealthy circle. Shane could tell that Yvonne truly loved Henry!

"What's different?" Yvonne blinked at Shane curiously.

Shane pulled himself out of his own thoughts, then put a finger in front of his lips. "Everything. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I'll take you to your ward so that you can rest up first."

He stood up and walked toward the door.

Yvonne got up quickly too and followed him.

Shane led Yvonne to a special private ward like the one Jacqueline stayed in, except that it wasn’t on the same floor. Jacqueline was upstairs and she was downstairs.

"A nurse will come over to brief you about the surgery later and inform you of the preparations you will need to do. Don’t get nervous. Just relax." Shane advised Yvonne for fear that her mood would be negatively affected before the surgery.

Yvonne listened to him very carefully and took note of it. "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Good, you can rest now. I'll be over on the other side since she needs more explanation from me." Shane pointed upstairs.

Yvonne instantly understood that he was referring to Jacqueline.

"Sure," she waved to him and stepped aside from the door so that Shane could go out.
