Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 63

Joe stopped, "Miss Frey, what can I do for you?"

"Here,” Yvonne passed Joe the folder she was holding.

Joe took a look at the contents and smiled, "Oh, these are the documents for the visa application. Don't worry Miss Frey. Mr. Lancaster has already called ahead, and I’ll settle this for you."

"Oh, then thank you." Miss Frey bowed slightly.

Joe quickly took a step backward, "Miss Frey, it's alright! You don't have to."

Even though Mr. Lancaster didn't love the woman, she was still his legal wife. He certainly couldn’t have her bowing just to thank himself.

"By the way, Mr. Woods, is Mr. Lancaster in the office yet?" Yvonne threw a sideways glance at the CEO’s office.

Joe shook his head, "No, Mr. Lancaster went to the hospital."

Yvonne's expression tightened for a second before she quickly regained her composure but her mood had soured considerably, "I see." 1

Yvonne bypassed Joe and returned to her own office calmly.

Once she sat down, she grabbed a nearby throw cushion and punched it twice while she groused, "You didn't go last night but you went over early in the morning. So, you still can't get over Jacqueline!”

She was still angry after she said that so she delivered a few dozen more punches to the cushion. She only felt slightly better when the cushion had been punched out of shape.

"Huff..." Yvonne threw the cushion aside and exhaled. After she kept her emotions in control, she picked up the cordless phone on her table and dialed a number.

She basically called Henry's grandfather to thank him. If it wasn’t for the old man, she wouldn’t be able to join the team building activity.

After the call, Yvonne placed the phone back to its jack and started working.

Henry came back to the company at noon. At that time, Yvonne was having lunch in her own office.

"Shane wants you to go to the hospital in the afternoon," he conveyed the doctor's message.

"Why?" Yvonne asked with the tips of her chopsticks i n her mouth.

Henry threw a sweeping glance at the dishes in front o f her. "He needs to check if the bone marrow stimulants work. If they don’t, he will give you another prescription."

"Okay, I’ll go over in the afternoon," Yvonne nodded.

She had a sudden thought, "Henry, have you eaten?"

"No."

"Well, let's eat together," Yvonne muttered quietly as she looked at Henry expectantly.

"Eat together?" Henry frowned.

"Yup. This lunch was prepared by Sue. There is more than enough food, and I can’t finish it all by myself," Yvonne showed him her lunch box.

Ever since Sue found out that Henry acquired their company, she started preparing food enough for two every day as she hoped that Yvonne and Henry could have their meals together.

Unfortunately, Joe would order all of Henry's meals from various restaurants so Yvonne couldn’t even find a chance to offer.

Henry wanted to reject Yvonne’s suggestion initially. Yet, the moment he saw her anticipative gaze, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to say no.

In the end, he gave a quick nod and accepted her offer.

Yvonne instantly broke into a wide smile, eyes curled. She placed her chopsticks down very quickly and scooped a bowl of rice for him.

As they ate, Yvonne actually had the intention to chat with him to lighten the mood, however, she decided against it when she noticed his stoic expression.

Even though she couldn't strike a conversation with him, having lunch together with him in the office

already made her very happy.

Bzzt! A mobile phone started ringing.

Yvonne looked up at the man in front of her, "Henry, your phone is ringing.”

Henry placed his bowl and chopsticks down and took out his phone. After he saw the caller ID, he stood up and walked to the balcony.

Yvonne bit her lips as she watched him from behind.

Was it necessary to step out just to answer a call?

Was that Jacqueline?

Brooding over those thoughts, Yvonne pretty much lost her appetite. She placed her chopsticks down and zoned out while supporting her head in her hand.

After a few minutes, Henry returned after his call ended, "You'll have to continue without me, I have to g o somewhere now.”
