He would probably blame her because she was not one of those women who was dying to be with Henry— she was his business partner.
If Henry's brain was normal, he should know the rationality of it all.
Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to witness Jacqueline getting rebuked by Henry.
Yvonne sighed regretfully.
Suddenly, the phone in her bag started ringing.
Yvonne cleared her thoughts and took out her mobile phone. When she saw the caller ID, she quickly answered it. "Shane."
"Yvonne, is the auction over?" Shane asked.
Yvonne squeezed her stiff neck. "Almost."
"Ah, then please come back quickly. Theo misses you and he doesn't want to go to sleep," Shane said with a wry smile as he looked at the kid sitting on the bedside while playing with a Rubik's Cube.
Although this child did not cry or cause any trouble because of autism, his temperament was very difficult to gauge.
Especially when it came to sleeping. Theo would simply ignore him.
So Shane called her after much consideration.
When Yvonne heard that Theo was thinking about her, her eyes softened. "I miss him too. I'll be back soon."
Shane scratched his hair and said, "Okay. Hurry up, it's late now. If Theo still doesn’t sleep, he definitely won’t be able to get up tomorrow."
Yvonne said, "I will. Thanks for your hard work, Shane. H
"It's okay. Be careful on the road," Shane reminded her.
Yvonne nodded with a smile and hung up. She walked out of the lounge and greeted the organizer of the auction before she left.
When she got back to the hotel, it was almost midnight already.
Yvonne opened the door of the suite and went in. She could hear Shane telling a story from the bedroom.
She smiled softly and walked towards the bedroom lightly.
The bedroom door was open, and she walked over to see what was going on in the room.
She saw Theo sitting on the side of the bed and Shane sitting by the bed. Theo was twisting the Rubik's Cube relentlessly, while Shane was holding a storybook and reading it word by word.
Although it looked like one was coaxing the other to sleep, they both were doing their own thing and had nothing to do with each other.
Yvonne couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Her laughter also interrupted the adult and the child i n the room.
Both of them stopped in their tracks at the same time and looked at her.
Shane looked at her as if he just found his savior. His eyes lit up. "Yvonne, you're finally back."
He could finally be liberated.
This child was too difficult to work with.
However, he was not like this half a month before. Could it be that because his mother came, his behavior changed?
Although Theo could not speak, his eyes were fixed on Yvonne, and he seemed to feel happy about her return.
"Well, I'm back." Yvonne smiled and walked towards them.
When she stood in front of them, Shane got up and left the seat for her.
He knew that she would definitely want to give Theo a hug.
Sure enough, after seeing Shane's intention, Yvonne smiled gratefully at him and bent down to hug Theo.
Theo lay on her shoulders quietly, and he stopped twisting the Rubik's Cube in his hand.
Shane was surprised when he saw it. "Theo really missed you. Look, now that you're here, he's stopped playing with the Rubik's Cube."
