Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 45

Yvonne had yet to recover from the turn of events. She was puzzled by Henry’s sudden question. "What do you mean by why?"

Henry snorted coldly. He went up to her and grabbed her hand, "Who allowed you to wear this necklace? You must be satisfied now that Jackie is being sent to the emergency room."

"What do you mean by saying that I must be satisfied?" Yvonne's eyes bulged out in anger, triggered by his words.

The way he put it made it seem like he was saying that Yvonne was hoping for something bad to happen t o Jacqueline. 1

"Yvonne Frey, didn’t I tell you to not reveal anything about our relationship to Jackie before you meet her?" Henry flung Yvonne's hand away.

Yvonne took a step back. She hit her back against the wall and groaned in pain. "You did say that, but I didn't tell her anything."

"Then what about the necklace? Who told you to come out wearing that?" Henry pressed his thin lips into a straight line. 2

Yvonne was taken aback by his remarks. It took her a long time to finally find her voice again. "Are you blaming me? Just because Miss Conrad saw me

wearing this necklace, you blamed me for causing her to faint?”

Henry took a deep breath and didn't reply to her. But his answer was as clear as day.

He was indeed blaming her!

Yvonne finally burst out crying, "Why do you have to blame me? You didn't even tell me that this necklace was originally a gift to Miss Conrad when you gave it t o me! You didn't mention anything to me either after I wore it for so many days. Don’t you think you are being very unfair for blaming me now that Miss Conrad found out about it?"

Sobs wracked her shoulders as tears came streaming down, ruining her makeup. Her smudged eyeliner formed dark circles under her eyes, making her look pitiful but also funny at the same time.

"Alright, stop crying!” Henry pinched the bridge of his nose and gave her a look of disgust.

Her cries were not only noisy but also tugged at his heartstrings for some reason.

He was extremely irritated by these emotions that were beyond his control!

Yvonne sniffed and slowly stopped crying. "I'm giving this back to you!"

She shoved the necklace back into his hand.

"Yvonne Frey, what do you mean by that?" Henry looked at the broken necklace as his eyes turned dark.

Yvonne lifted her arm and wiped her tears on the sleeve. "I’m telling you that I don't want this necklace anymore. I'm returning it to its rightful owner!"

"Returning it to its rightful owner?" Henry frowned at her. 1

Yvonne hummed softly, her voice still cracking from crying earlier. "Isn’t this a gift that you've prepared for Miss Conrad? How could you give that to me? You should return it to her."

"No need!" Henry returned the necklace to Yvonne without any emotion on his face. "You can keep it. Jackie won't accept things that someone else has worn."

"But I don't want to keep it either!" Yvonne lowered her head depressingly. "You said it just now that Miss Conrad wouldn’t accept things that someone else has worn. It's the same for me too!"

Yvonne didn't understand why Henry gave her this necklace.

She felt the same amount of emotions right now compared to the time when she received the necklace, except this time it was disappointment instead of joy.

"If you don't want to keep it, then just throw it away!" Henry spat when he saw Yvonne's refusal toward the necklace.

Yvonne’s hand trembled with the necklace in her clutch. "Throw?"

"I thought you didn't want it anymore? So why keep it around? Just throw it out.” Henry adjusted his cuffs and replied indifferently.

"But..." Yvonne hesitated.

She really didn't want it anymore.

Yet, she couldn't bring herself to throw it away either.

Not especially when she knew the value of this necklace. She couldn't afford to throw it away and neither did she have the guts to do it either!

"But what?" Henry lifted his gaze at her.

Yvonne shook her head. "Nevermind. I'll bring this necklace back and put it in the jewelry display case. If Miss Conrad asks for it again, you can just take it back to her."

"Whatever!" Henry stared at her for several seconds, then lifted his feet and walked toward the door.

"Hold on!" Yvonne shouted to him.

Henry stopped, "What else do you need?"
