Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 57

"Henry?" Yvonne looked at the man at the door in shock. "Why are you here?"

Henry ignored her as his cold gaze lingered on Shane's hand that was placed on the girl's head, feeling offended by it.

Noticing his displeasure, Shane removed his hand calmly and said with a chuckle, "I asked him to come here. You’re being discharged today. He has to come pick you up."

"I see." Yvonne nodded with realization.

"What were you guys doing just now?" Henry asked again, walking toward both of them.

"Don't misunderstand, Henry. My sis-in-law had something on her head just now, and I was just cleaning that up for her." Shane blinked. "Right, sis-in-law?"

Not wanting Henry to misunderstand as well, Yvonne subconsciously agreed with his words. "Yeah."

"Then where's that something? Show me." Henry pressed his lips together.

Yvonne panicked. Oh, no, he was being serious!

Where was she going to produce some kind of dirt to show to him?

Thinking about it, Yvonne glared at the culprit.

The culprit rubbed his nose, knowing he was at fault." Sorry, Henry. I can't show you, I've already thrown it away. It’s just a small paper scrap. Alright, you spouses talk. I'll take my leave now."

Shane waved his hand and left hastily after that.

"Henry..." Yvonne spoke up but was cut off by Henry who looked icy. "Yvonne Frey, stay away from him from now on. Stay away from all other men. Do you hear me?!" 6

He was not around for only a handful of days but she was already so chummy with Shane and the latter had been blatant in regarding his disdain about her previously but now...

Even Elliot Taylor from the Taylor Group had asked about her on the day of signing the contract.

Did this man know that she was already married? 1

"Sure, it's not like I have any male friends," Yvonne agreed in a daze.

Henry looked better then. "Where's your bag?"

"Here!" Yvonne pointed to the suitcase beside her.

Henry went over and pulled the handle up. "Let's go."

"I can do it." Yvonne was thinking about wheeling it o n her own. She was already content that Henry was here to pick her up. To have him help her with her things, she was not yet used to it.

"Nevermind." Henry moved the suitcase to his other hand. "Let's go now. I still have a meeting to attend later."

"Oh." Hearing the impatience laced in his voice, Yvonne dared not say more and obediently followed him out.

Nonetheless, she kept feeling like she had forgotten something on the way yet she was unable to recall it.

It was not until she got into the car and saw Sue that she realized in a startle that it was her whom she had forgotten. How awkward...

Returning to the villa, Yvonne stretched lazily on the couch and exclaimed, "Ah, home is always here."

Henry, who was putting the suitcase away, froze for a beat and lightly uttered, "Home?"

He turned to look at her. "Yvonne Frey."

"Hmm?” Yvonne titled her head. "What is it?"

"You think this is your home?" 1

Yvonne hummed, "Yeah, isn’t it?"

She had gotten married to him, so of course this was her home. It was her only home too!

Henry pursed his lips. "You're easy to please." 2

He found it harder to figure her out. She had stayed in this empty house for three years and she could still see the house as her home. What was she actually

thinking?

"Can I take that as a compliment?" Yvonne’s fingers met each other as she looked hopefully at Henry.

Henry turned away. "Whatever you like."

"I'll take it as a compliment then." Yvonne smiled before the smile faded and she asked sullenly, "Henry, why didn’t you come to see me when you came to the hospital these days?"
