It was unfamiliar because the name once appeared briefly in his life.
And it was familiar because Joe and Shane often mentioned the name in front of him six years ago.
They said that Yvonne Frey was his wife and the woman he loved the most, but she died, most likely in Jacqueline's hands.
But he forgot that Yvonne Frey. He only remembered that Yvonne was married to him and that he was married. As for anything else that Shane said, he didn't remember.
He didn’t respond even when they said that the person he loved was Yvonne Frey because he knew very well that he had forgotten what happened in the past few years when he married Yvonne. So how could he still love her? He didn’t care at all who killed her or how she died.
However, his heart was always empty in the silent night, as if he had lost something important, which he never mentioned to anyone.
Now that he saw this woman who looked almost exactly the same as Yvonne, he was surprised to find that his heart was beating and the feeling of emptiness suddenly filled up.
What exactly was going on?
Henry pursed his lips and walked towards the woman without thinking.
The woman heard the footsteps and turned around to look at him. When she saw him, she was taken aback for a while. Then, she gave him a polite smile, turned her head back, and continued to talk to the other end o f the phone.
Henry took a few steps away from the woman. His eyes were fixed on her as if he was confirming something.
After a while, the woman turned to him when she was done with the phone call. "What can I do for you, sir?”
She asked with a very magnetic voice.
No!
This wasn’t Yvonne's voice!
Henry subconsciously rejected the woman's voice in front of him.
He wasn’t sure how he knew Yvonne’s voice was different from the woman in front of him when he couldn't remember how Yvonne looked.
Seeing that Henry didn't answer, her eyes were calm and she didn't know what she was thinking. The cold light in Yvonne's eyes flashed and it disappeared right away, returning to reality.
"Since there's nothing that you need from me, then I'll leave first. Goodbye!" She smiled politely again and turned away.
The smile on her face disappeared the moment she turned around, leaving only a deep chill.
Tonight was really unexpected for her.
She thought that she would only meet Henry on the day they discussed the cooperation.
She didn't expect to meet him at the dinner tonight.
What a coincidence!
Back in the room, Yvonne pulled her chair and sat down.
Shane handed her the napkin. "Why did it take so long for you to come back? Theo wanted me to take him to you.”
"I’m sorry, my mother called me just now and after that, there was a call from the client, so I came back late. I'm sorry, baby." Yvonne held Theo’s face and kissed him.
Shane shook his head and smiled, "Hurry and eat, the steak will be cold.”
"Okay," Yvonne answered and picked up the knife and fork.
While cutting the steak, she suddenly said, "I just met Henry Lancaster."
"What?" Shane was surprised. "You guys met?” "You can say so. I was on the phone in the corridor. He suddenly came over and stood there staring at me. I heard him calling my former name. Has his memory recovered?" Yvonne asked after eating a piece of steak.
Shane put down his knife and fork and said in a deep voice, "No. Normally, he should’ve recovered swiftly if he just lost his memory due to a blood clot. But I'm not sure why he hasn’t recovered in the past six years. Since he called your name and recognized you, perhaps he remembered the moment when you guys first got married."
Henry lost his memory six years ago when Jacqueline returned to Canada.
