Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 501

Yvonne twitched the corner of her mouth mockingly. Henry's words didn't make her feel touched. On the contrary, she thought it was ridiculous.

He always said to protect her.

But in fact, did he do it?

He wasn’t there six years ago when Dominic Conrad kidnapped her and when she had a miscarriage due to bone marrow surgery. When Shaw Taylor kidnapped her again and again, he wasn't there either. When Jacqueline pushed her out of the car, he still wasn't there. When she managed to escape from death and went back to find him, he wasn't there as well. 4

In short, every time she needed him, he would never b e there!

So she wouldn't believe him anymore! 1

Even if he did protect her now, she wouldn't feel touched at all. She would only feel angry and sad.

Because she was now Shannon Smith, not Yvonne Frey!

As Shannon, she should just be an ordinary business partner with Henry, right?

He could tell his ordinary business partner that he would protect her, but he wasn't around when his wife had been hurt many times in the past. What was there

to look forward to from such a man!

Henry didn’t know what Yvonne was thinking at the moment. He looked at her and she lowered her head with her whole body that exuded a gloomy aura. He thought that the shaky elevator frightened her, so he couldn't help but lean forward to hold her tightly.

His action made the distance between the two people closer, so close that their bodies were almost touching each other.

They could smell each other’s breath with that distance in between them.

When Joe who was in the other corner saw them like this, the corner of his mouth twitched and he felt embarrassed.

Although he knew that Mr. Lancaster held Miss Smith in between him and the wall to protect her, their posture was really misleading.

Finally, the elevator stabilized on the third floor and stopped shaking.

Joe directly pressed the elevator button to be sure.

The elevator stopped and the door opened.

Joe was relieved. He was afraid that the elevator door wouldn't open and they would be trapped in it. 1

Joe said to Henry, "Mr. Lancaster, let’s go out first.”

Henry hummed and he released his hand that was holding the elevator wall. He took a step back and let g

o of Yvonne. "Miss Smith, it’s all good now!"

Yvonne raised her head. "It's fine now?"

"Yes," Henry responded, "the elevator has stopped."

Yvonne gently patted her chest, revealing a smile after surviving the tragedy. "That’s great! I was scared to death just now."

"I'm sorry that Miss Smith was frightened. It’s our group's fault and I'll take responsibility for it. Besides, I was impolite just now. Please..."

Before the conversation ended, Yvonne waved her hand to interrupt him. "It's alright, I should thank Mr. Lancaster for saving me or I’ll be thrown to the door. How can I blame Mr. Lancaster for your impoliteness?"

Henry nodded faintly. "As long as you don't blame me. By the way, are you not injured, Miss Smith?" He asked.

Yvonne looked down at her red and swollen left ankle, looking a little embarrassed. "I twisted my foot. When the elevator was shaking, my heels were too high to stand stably, so I twisted it."

Upon hearing this, Henry looked down as well. He saw her white ankle swollen like a bun. He frowned. “Can you walk?"

Yvonne tried and shook her head with a pale face. "I'm afraid not."

Henry pursed his lips and pondered for a second. Suddenly, he stepped forward and apologized for

being rude. Then, he carried her.

Yvonne yelped and subconsciously put her arms around his neck. "Mr. Lancaster, you..."
