Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 599

Yvonne's eyes flickered and she replied, "I went outside to answer a phone call and when I saw Frederick holding Theo, I approached them."

Her answer seemed justifiable, and Henry couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or not.

After he nodded slightly to imply that he understood, h e stopped asking. He stepped forward to take Theo away from her arms and said, "The party has begun. Let's go."

"Okay." Yvonne stood up and tried to straighten out the wrinkles on her dress. After talking to Frederick, she followed behind the father and son to go back to the banquet hall.

Henry held Theo as they went up to the stage.

On the stage, the lights came down, and their figures were illuminated brightly. It looked as if they were glowing.

Henry took the microphone from Joe and began to introduce Theo.

Actually, everyone knew about Theo's identity already as it was clearly written on the invitation. Even if it was not written on the invitation, everyone could probably guess from Theo and Henry's resemblance.

They were curious about Theo's mother.

However, Henry didn’t plan to tell them. After introducing Theo, he asked Joe to hold Theo.

"Now, I want to talk about something else." Henry held the microphone and suddenly looked in one direction.

The lighting engineer followed the direction he was looking toward and turned the lights.

Yvonne was in the spotlight as she pursed her red lips.

She knew what Henry wanted to do.

Frederick had told her earlier.

This party was not just to introduce Theo, but it was also a banquet where Henry had planned to confess to her.

To be honest, when she first heard about it, she was really surprised and conflicted.

This was because if Henry had the courage to confess his feelings for her in front of so many people on an occasion like this, any woman would be moved.

But she knew exactly what she wanted. She might feel his sincerity through the confession, but she wouldn't accept it.

Sure enough, Henry walked towards Yvonne with a bouquet of bright red roses in his hands.

He stopped in front of Yvonne and handed the roses to her. "Shan, didn't you ask me why I wanted to pick you up personally when we were in the car earlier? The reason is..."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lancaster?" Yvonne suddenly interrupted him.

The way she called him 'Mr. Lancaster’ made Henry frown.

He looked at her and suddenly felt that she was different.

"Shan..."

"Are you trying to confess to me, Mr. Lancaster?" Yvonne interrupted him again with a playful tone.

After seeing this side of her, Henry was completely certain that she had become a different person.

Although he was aware of this, Henry still nodded. " Yes."

"Haha..." Yvonne reached out and fiddled with a rose i n front of her, but did not take the bouquet. She let him hold it, and said with a sneer on her face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lancaster. I won't accept you."

When she said that, it caused a commotion.

They didn't understand how and why would this woman reject Mr. Lancaster.

Even if Mr. Lancaster had two previous marriages, he was still Mr. Lancaster after all, the head of the Lancaster family.

If she married into the Lancaster family, she could easily enjoy all the glory and wealth.

Henry didn't know why the woman in front of him refused to accept him. He put down his hand that was holding the rose bouquet and his face turned gloomy.¹ Give me a reason."

"The reason is that I don't like you, Mr. Lancaster," Yvonne looked at him and smiled coldly.

Henry's pupils shrank.

She didn't like him?

That was impossible!

If she didn't like him, why did she make it seem like she did? When she got drunk that day, why did she lead him on and make him feel like she wanted to be with him?
