Yvonne squinted her eyes and looked at his face." You... You're Henry Lancaster?"
Henry's eyes flashed with wisdom.
It seemed like she still knew.
"Since you know, then I'm going to tell you that you're not allowed to drink anymore. I'll take you back," Henry said as he was about to get up.
Yvonne suddenly grabbed his tie to stop him from getting up. "No. I'm not going back. I'm happy and I still want to drink!"
"You can’t drink anymore." Henry frowned.
Yvonne pouted and said, "No, I want to drink!"
She started acting unreasonably.
Henry stared at her as he pursed his thin lips. After staring for a while, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Yvonne seemed to be stunned by the kiss and her eyes were wide open as she suddenly forgot to react.
After a while, she made a move by stretching out her arms and wrapped them around his neck as she tried t o reciprocate his kiss.
Her response was like a great encouragement to him.
That day, they spent the night in a private room.
"Yvonne." Yvonne had already fallen asleep. Even though she heard his voice, she could not open her eyes so she just let out a muffled hum.
Henry looked at her with his deep eyes and rubbed his forehead helplessly. He picked up his shirt and pants o n the floor and put them on before walking towards the bathroom. After briefly washing up, he came out and helped Yvonne put on her clothes. He then cleaned up the sofa and carried her out of the room.
When they returned to the family residence, it was daybreak already.
Sue saw them from afar and quickly walked over. "Sir, you’re back. What happened to madam?"
Sue asked with concern as she thought something had happened to Yvonne.
Henry looked down at Yvonne with a gentle expression on his face. "She's okay."
Sue looked at Yvonne suspiciously. When Sue saw her neck, she suddenly noticed something. She covered her mouth and smirked, "I see. Sir, please send madam back to the room to get some rest."
"Okay." Henry nodded and continued to walk towards the room.
Sue looked at their figure and she smiled broadly.
She was still smiling when Frederick walked over
with a cane.
"Sue, why are you smiling?" Frederick asked curiously.
Sue told him about what she had just seen.
Frederick was surprised at first. He then smiled with relief, "Great. This is really great. It seems like it won't be long before the family of three can reconcile."
"Yes." Sue nodded.
"Sue, go and make some soup for madam so she can have it when she wakes up," Frederick ordered.
Sue agreed repeatedly and walked towards the kitchen.
At the other side of the house, Henry carried Yvonne t o his room instead of her room.
Theo was in her room, so it was inconvenient.
After they entered his room, Henry took Yvonne to the bathroom and gave her a bath before carrying her back to bed and covered her with a blanket.
