Henry's thin lips moved but he did not speak.
He did not know why he came here.
He was already there when he realized it.
"I just came back from shopping and thought your car looked a little familiar. I didn't expect it to be you," Yvonne lifted the bag in her hand and said with a smile.
Henry saw that she got some groceries, so he asked in surprise, "You can cook?"
"A little," Yvonne replied modestly.
Henry lifted his chin. "Really?"
"Since you're here, do you want to come to my apartment for a while?" Yvonne invited him.
Henry said, "Sure. Sorry to trouble you."
"Not at all." Yvonne smiled.
Henry opened the door and got out of the car. He stretched out his hand and carried the bag in her hand. "Let me help you."
"Thank you." Yvonne did not refuse either.
"My pleasure." Henry followed her into the apartment complex.
Yvonne's smile faded. "Henry, you're such a
gentleman. Do you treat all women like this?"
"No." Henry immediately refuted, "I won't even get close to other women."
Except you.
"Well, then I'm really honored." Yvonne pushed the elevator button.
The elevator door quickly opened, and they walked in.
Yvonne pressed the level of her apartment, and Henry secretly remembered the number of her unit.
"Henry, are you in a bad mood?" Yvonne suddenly asked.
Henry pinched the bridge of his nose. "A little."
"It doesn't look like 'a little.' I think you're frowning so much that you can actually trap a mosquito between your brows. Is something wrong?" Yvonne turned to look at him.
Henry lowered his eyelids. "It's nothing."
Yvonne shrugged her shoulders. "Well, since you don't want to say anything, I won't ask either. By the way, shouldn't you be in the hospital now? Why did you come out? Are you okay?"
"I'm okay, for now." Henry could feel the warmth in his heart when he noticed that she was concerned about him. His frown eased a little.
Yvonne nodded. "As long as you're okay."
Ding!
The elevator had arrived.
Yvonne got out of the elevator and Henry followed closely behind.
Yvonne walked to a door and scanned her fingerprint t o open the door.
She changed her shoes at the entrance before taking out a pair of unopened men's slippers from the shoe cabinet and putting them in front of Henry.
Henry looked down at a pair of black men's slippers in front of him, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line. It was obvious that he was unhappy. "Do these slippers belong to someone?"
"Yes." The corner of Yvonne’s mouth curved upward a s she admitted it honestly.
Henry asked coldly, "Whose?"
"You know this person too. It's Shane," Yvonne replied as she put her bag on the shoe cabinet.
Henry clenched his hand that was holding the grocery bag. "Shane Summers!"
"It's him. We are very good friends. He comes to my place for dinner sometimes, so I always keep a pair of his slippers here," Yvonne said.
After she said that, she noticed that his eyes had gotten colder and colder. It made her feel a burst of joy in her heart.
She knew that he had fallen in love with her again.
That was why she deliberately mentioned Shane to irritate him. As she expected, he got upset.
He finally understood how sad she felt when he still had feelings for Jacqueline back then.
