Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 50

Yvonne suddenly remembered that today was the fifteenth. The day when she would get paid at her job.

Her mother would usually call her early in the morning to ask for money.

"I don't think so," Sue shook her head after thinking for a while.

Yvonne didn't quite believe it. Her mother was always about the money, so it was impossible for her to not come asking about it.

"Where’s my phone?" Yvonne turned her head left and right, trying to look for her phone.

"Here,” Sue took out her phone from the bedside table drawer.

Yvonne couldn't get up so she could only stay in bed. Fortunately, her left hand was fine enough for her to b e browsing on her phone, though it was a little sore for her to keep it lifted.

Yvonne checked through her call log over again and again and was shocked to not find any missed calls from her mother in the end.

"That’s weird, she actually didn't ask me for money!" Yvonne held her phone with a shaky hand.

Since Sue had been serving her for three years, she knew everything about Yvonne’s family matters. She laughed when she heard Yvonne's exclamation. "Isn't i t good for you to have some peace and quiet for once?"

"Well it is, but I'm just not used to it. I just can't help feeling that if she doesn't find me this time, she will ask for even more next time,” Yvonne put down her phone worriedly.

Sue sat by her bed, then took an apple and started peeling it. "That may be possible. In my opinion, your parents are asking you for more and more money every month because you have been spoiling them too much, madam."

Yvonne raised her arm to cover her eyes, "It's not like I can refuse. Besides, I know them best since they are m y parents. If I don’t give them money, they can do anything. I'm just worried that I'd hear them stirring u p trouble at my workplace. If they did, the Lancaster family would be disgraced too."

It was indeed her sadness to have such parents.

Yet, she couldn't just abandon them.

If she did, she would be irresponsible to society since she didn't know what they would do for the sake of money.

“Actually, I think you are just being a worry wart, madam. You can just tell sir directly about it. I'm sure he'll do something about it. If you can't do anything about them, then surely he can," Sue cut the apple into small pieces and offered one to Yvonne on a toothpick.

Yvonne accepted it and took a bite, "I didn’t tell him about my family matters all this while because I don't want to trouble him." 1

"But he is your husband. You shouldn't be worried about troubling him," Sue disagreed. 1

Yvonne took the last piece of apple with her toothpick and munched on it. "That’s different. I do regard him a s my husband, but do you think he regards me as his wife, Sue?"

"Well..." Sue fell silent.

Yvonne rubbed her eyes, feeling that her astigmatism was getting worse. "That's why I don’t want to bother him. To be honest, it's not that I don’t want to bother him. I just don’t want to hear him refuse. But he did give my mom seven hundred thousand dollars last time."

"Huh? Sir did?" Sue was surprised.

Yvonne hummed in response. "He happened to be there when my mom asked me for money, so he gave her seven hundred thousand dollars. I'm guessing that they didn't find me because they haven’t finished spending it."

By the time they finished using that sum of money, they would definitely come to her again.

"Worry about it next time then. If they are still asking for too much, you should talk to sir," Sue suggested.

"I’ll consider doing that," Yvonne yawned, then took another nap.

Her nap lasted for several hours this time.

By the time she woke up, the sky was already dark.

Yvonne moved a little and felt something beside her. I t was blocked and restricted her movements.

"What is it?” Yvonne reached her hand out in confusion, only to feel a hot chest.

She was dumbstruck!

A chest?

And it was a man’s?

Yvonne gulped audibly. She painstakingly turned to the side to take a better look, only to be met with the sight of Henry sleeping soundly beside her.

When did he come?

How come she didn't realize it at all?
