Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 48

This was an extremely important matter to him.

It was the biggest factor that would decide if the Conrad family could get on the Lancaster family's huge ship.

Likewise, Shane was also staring at Henry intently.

He also wanted to know Henry’s answer.

Henry held the gaze of the four eyes in front of him indifferently. He moved his thin lips and was about to speak when a petite figure flashed across his mind. It moved so fast that he could barely catch a glimpse, yet it bothered him greatly.

Who was that?

"Henry?" Dominic couldn't help but call his name impatiently when he saw Henry lower his head, seemingly lost in his own thoughts instead of answering his question.

Henry frowned at being interrupted in his train of thought and even spoke harshly. "What is it?"

“About the question now..."

"It's no longer possible for Jackie and me," Henry sidestepped the question.

Yet his answer made Dominic even more panicked.

No longer possible?

Did Henry mean that he would never get back together with Jackie even if he still had feelings for her?

Then what would happen to the Conrad family who had been declining over the past few years? Without a backing, they would eventually have to withdraw from the top ten influential families in Vancouver. There was no way he could allow that to happen!

Dominic hurriedly took a step forward and stood in front of Henry, "What do you mean by no longer possible, Henry? The fact that you care so much about Jackie means that you still have feelings for her.

Jackie has also always been..."

"Mr. Conrad!" Shane interrupted him with a smile, then pulled him aside. "Mr. Conrad, I'm sure you heard what Henry said just now. It's no longer possible for Jacqueline and him because he's already married. Master Lancaster even personally arranged the marriage, so you should perish the thought of that. Isn't that right, Henry?"

Henry nodded slightly, "Yeah!"

It was true that he still had feelings for Jackie, but he didn't plan on getting back together with her again. 2

His marriage was only one of the reasons. The other reason would be he didn’t want to repeat the same mistake from three years ago.

"So it's really no longer possible?" Emotions wavered 0 n Dominic's wrinkled face. He wasn't willing to give up.

"Yeah,” Henry still gave him the same answer.

Dominic finally shut his eyes in resignation and smiled bitterly. "If that’s the case, then I won't force it t o happen. But what should Jackie do in the future?"

"Why not just continue her dancing career? In any case, dancing has always been her top priority," Shane blew on his nicely manicured nails, not bothering to hide the mocking tone in his voice.

Shane had only looked down on Yvonne at most in the past.

But he totally despised Jacqueline and the Conrad family since before. 1

He was beyond disgusted by the way Dominic and Jacqueline handled things. If it wasn’t for Henry, he would never even want to talk to Jacqueline.

Compared to her behavior three years ago, Yvonne Frey was a total saint! 1

"I am a failure of a dad." Dominic felt ashamed by Shane's words, but was raging deep down in his heart. However, he concealed his anger very well and didn’t show it on his face.

"Why are you telling me that? You should tell that to Henry and Master Lancaster," Shane pointed to Henry.

"Enough!” Henry looked at him sourly. "Are you too free?" "Not really, that's why I'm about to get going." Shane shrugged, then straightened up and walked away with a smile.

Henry retrieved his coat from the rack and draped it over his arm casually. "I'll be heading upstairs now, M r. Conrad."

"I'll join you," Dominic also put on his coat.

A look of surprise flashed across Henry's eyes, "You'll come too?"

"Yeah.” Dominic picked several boxes of very expensive supplements and explained, "Yvonne Frey saved my daughter's life, so I should visit her and personally thank her."

Henry initially wanted to refuse, but then changed his mind.

All because he suddenly realized that he was in no position to refuse on Yvonne’s behalf.
