Yvonne didn’t hide from him either. She pulled out her office chair and sat down. "Yes, she came as soon a s you left."
"What did she say to you?" Henry narrowed his eyes a little sullenly.
Yvonne yawned slowly, "She didn’t say anything, but Mrs. Lancaster probably didn't have a sense of security. She felt a sense of crisis seeing the both of us walking together and she was worried that I’d take you away."
Henry squeezed the phone tightly. "So she said those things to you again?"
Yvonne smiled and didn’t respond. She approved it tacitly.
Henry was furious.
Was Jacqueline brainless?
"I’m sorry, Miss Smith. It's my fault. I..."
"It doesn't matter.” Yvonne interrupted him and said," I understand Mrs. Lancaster's intention. After all, I'm the first woman who's ever gotten close to Mr.
Lancaster after six years, so it's normal for her to have such thoughts. However, Mr. Lancaster, I'd like to know why Mrs. Lancaster doesn't allow me to go near you?"
Yvonne looked serious when she asked this question.
Henry lowered his eyes without speaking.
Yvonne parted her lips and said, "Is it because of my face? You once said that I look like your ex-wife. So Mrs. Lancaster doesn't allow me to come close because of my face?"
Henry was startled when what she said was right. He immediately closed his thin lips and said lightly, "Yes!”
It was because of her face that he approached her.
He just wanted to know whether she was Yvonne or not.
Although he was now convinced that she wasn't Yvonne, he didn't know why he still wanted to approach her, get close to her, and stay with her. Moreover, the feeling was so strong that he didn't know how long he could suppress it.
"So it's true." The corner of Yvonne's mouth twitched." Am I a replacement for your ex-wife? When you see m e, do you think of your ex-wife?"
Henry opened his mouth and wanted to say that he didn't.
But he didn't know why he couldn't say it.
He couldn't help but wonder if he really took her as Yvonne’s replacement like she said.
But why did he take her as Yvonne's replacement?
Henry's expression was gloomy and he couldn't figure it out.
On the other end of the phone, Yvonne waited for Henry's reply but didn't get any. She thought he was acquiescent and said, "Mr. Lancaster, this is too much. How can you take me as a replacement?"
Henry remained silent.
Yvonne stretched. "Forget it. I forgive you. Since I have the same face, it's normal to be treated as a replacement, but Mr. Lancaster, you must love your ex-wife a lot, right?"
Henry pursed his lips. "No..."
His only memory of Yvonne was when they first got married.
He was dissatisfied with his grandfather's arrangement of his marriage, so he wasn't happy with Yvonne.
And he lost all the memories of his marriage with Yvonne. He only remembered the beginning and the unhappy moments. How could he love her then?
"Oh?" Yvonne’s mouth sank. "Mr. Lancaster, you don’t love your ex-wife?"
Henry hummed.
Yvonne's expression was cold, her eyes full of irony, but she sounded ignorant.
Upon hearing this, Henry was stunned. It seemed that something was piercing through his heart.
She was right. Since he didn’t love Yvonne, why did his emotions fluctuate so much when he saw her?
Since he didn’t love Yvonne, why must he find out whether Shannon was Yvonne?
Did he really love Yvonne like what Shane and Joe said?
Thinking of this, Henry suddenly felt a headache with some scenes flashing in his mind.
