"Nothing." Henry looked away.
Yvonne continued to stare at him. "Nothing? I think you were fascinated by me just now. Are you swooning over me?"
When Henry heard this, he raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.
Yvonne hummed in a nonchalant manner and pulled out the chair before sitting down.
"Soup is here," Sue’s cheerful voice sounded.
She then appeared with a pot of soup. After leaving the soup on the table, she smiled and asked Yvonne, ” Miss Smith, are you happy with the food today?"
"Very satisfied. I like it very much. Thank you, Sue," Yvonne said happily.
Sue was smiling too. "That’s good. Eat more then. I prepared these especially for you."
"Okay." Yvonne nodded.
After six long years, she finally got to eat Sue’s food again. Of course she would eat as much as she could.
"Let me get you a bowl of soup." Sue took Yvonne's bowl and scooped some soup for her. She smiled and watched Yvonne enjoy the dishes she made. Her eyes were almost bursting with love.
Henry, who was sitting opposite them, seemed to be ignored and no one cared about him.
Henry pursed his thin lips as he felt a little uncomfortable.
He was the one who asked Sue to prepare these dishes.
But Sue did not mention anything and even took credit for it.
He felt a little unhappy.
Henry's discontent was so obvious that it was impossible for Yvonne and Sue to not notice, but both of them pretended that they didn't. It was as if they both had a mutual understanding to ignore him.
Yvonne didn't care that he was unhappy, and she was not interested either.
Sue had no time to care either.
Madam just came back after everything that happened and could finally eat the dishes she made. She was just too excited to even care about Mr.
Lancaster at the moment.
So Henry ate lunch all by himself unhappily after being ignored by the two women.
After lunch, Yvonne said goodbye.
Henry grabbed his car keys. "Let me send you back." "It's okay, I drove here myself so what should I do with my car if you send me back? Ask someone to drive it back?" Yvonne looked at him jokingly.
Henry's thin lips moved, because that was actually his plan.
Yvonne could tell from his expression so she waved her hand. "That's so much trouble and unnecessary. I’ll go now."
After she said that, she carried her bag and walked towards the entrance.
Sue ran out from the kitchen with a bag. "Miss Smith, wait a minute. Let me send you off."
"Okay." Yvonne nodded.
They opened the door and left the villa. Henry didn't g o out, but he walked out to the balcony instead. He could see everything outside very clearly on the balcony.
Outside, Yvonne and Sue stood in front of a red Maserati.
Sue passed the bag in her hand and looked around. When she saw that Henry was on the balcony and was far away, she was relieved and said, "Madam, I prepared some snacks for Theo. They are very suitable for children. You can bring them back for Theo."
"Okay, thanks, Sue." Yvonne did not refuse either. She took the bag.
This was Sue's gift to Theo, so of course she would not
refuse.
Sue was happy to see Yvonne accept it so readily." When will you drop by again? I'll make some other food for Theo. He looks too skinny in those photos, so he needs to eat more nutritious food."
"I won’t be dropping by anytime soon. I came here this time to visit you and I did it by using the excuse that I was sending Henry his clothes. I also wanted to see how Jacqueline is doing. I heard that she was so scared that she passed out after receiving a package last night, so I'm happy."
"Madam, were you the one who sent her the package?" Sue opened her mouth in surprise.
