Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 61

"Yes, Grandpa." Henry responded and gave Yvonne a meaningful stare before he left.

Stared at for no reason, Yvonne thought that there was something on her face and could not help feeling around for it.

Sue was there to clean up the table, so Yvonne grabbed her and asked, "Sue, look at me. Is there something on my face?"

Sue studied her face carefully. "No. It's fair and fresh, s o pretty!"

"Then why did Henry look at me like that just now..." she murmured to herself.

Sue smiled. "Sir probably thinks that madam's gotten prettier recently."

"Prettier?” Yvonne was startled before she laughed." It's impossible. I know what I look like. I'll call myself easy on the eyes at most. I'm not pretty."

Jacqueline was the pretty one. Her face was one that could compare to a celebrity's. If she were as gorgeous as Jacqueline, would Henry pay more attention to her?

"Madam, I’m not lying. After you got thinner recently, you're really prettier than before. You had a little baby fat in the past. Now that it's gone, it's like a transformation," Sue said seriously.

Yvonne stroked her face in a daze. "Really..." "Of course it's true. Take a look at the mirror if you don't believe it, madam," Sue encouraged.

Yvonne fished out her phone, then and glided to her front camera to use it as a mirror. It was either the face -slimming effect of the camera or a psychological effect from Sue’s words, but Yvonne thought that she did seem to be thinner than she was and looked a tiny bit better.

"Madam, I’m right, am I not?" Sue looked at her with a chuckle.

Yvonne kept her phone and coughed bashfully. "I think you are...”

"That's right. Madam is good looking. You're just not very confident. Your features are delicate, especially your eyes..." Sue stopped suddenly when she got there and looked rather surprised.

Yvonne got nervous for no reason. "Sue?"

She waved her hand in front of the housekeeper.

Sue snapped out of her trance. "Madam, I suddenly realize that you look quite alike to that woman from the Conrads."

"You mean Jacqueline?" Yvonne raised her brow.

"Yes. When I looked at your eyes just now, I thought they looked like hers. If I didn’t know that your parents were around, I'd think that you were sisters,"

Sue deadpanned.

It was Yvonne’s turn to be surprised. "Sisters? Do we look that similar?"

Sue nodded in certainty. "Your eyes really look like hers, but the rest of your features are only slightly alike."

Yvonne quieted down. She had a vague image of her facial features, merely knowing that she looked decent, thus she never thought about looking like anyone in the past.

Moreover, Sue would not lie. If she said so, it meant that she and Jacqueline must bear some slight resemblance.

Was it because of this that Henry had looked at her just now?

Thinking about it, Yvonne was slightly bitter. She could not help imagining outrageous scenarios of being a replacement.

“Madam, what are you thinking? I called you twice but you didn't answer." Sue tapped her shoulder.

Yvonne reeled back her thoughts and rubbed her cheeks to plaster on a smile. "Nothing. What’s up, Sue?"

"I brewed a pot of tea in the kitchen. Master asked for i t previously. Send it to him, madam." Sue gave her a task.

Yvonne hummed. "Sure."

She got up and followed Sue into the kitchen. Passing the tray of teapot and teacups to her carefully, Sue reminded Yvonne, "The tea is hot. Go slower when you go upstairs, madam.”

"Don't worry." Yvonne reassured her with a nod and headed up.

When she came to Henry's study room, she could only call from the outside as she had no more hands to knock at the door. "Grandpa."

"Is it Yvonne?" Old Lancaster stopped his conversation when he heard her voice and told Henry, "Open the door."

Henry frowned but did not say anything as he did what he was told.

"What are you doing up here?" he asked faintly, looking at Yvonne.
