Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 66

Yvonne thought that she had spoken too softly and he did not hear it clearly, so she repeated what she said.

At that, Henry's jaws were clamped together in a menacing look.

Give her place up? How dare she!

"Yvonne Frey, do you despise the identity of being Mrs. Lancaster so much?" Henry's voice was ice cold.

Yvonne looked down. "It's not whether I despise it or not. It's if you want to let me be one. Didn't you say it just now? You want to make up with Miss Conrad. I have to stay down, don't I? Otherwise, are you going to keep Miss Conrad as an illegitimate partner?"

Laughing from his anger, Henry snorted, "You have some sense of self-awareness huh."

"I always do," Yvonne said biting her lips, "It's because I do that I've always been rational. I'm not the type to hound and pester you. If you really want to be with Miss Conrad, tell me directly. I’ll get a divorce."

She loved him, but she also knew that a forced relationship would not turn out happy.

They were still husband and wife now. If he did not ask for a divorce, she would not mention it at all. However, once he did, she was willing to sign the papers. Instead of forcing it, Yvonne would rather let i t go and let him seek his happiness.

"Divorce?" Henry was frosty with how his lips were pressed together firmly. "Don't you even think about i t!"

"You're not?" Yvonne was stunned. "Then Miss Conrad

H

"I was just testing you, but I didn't expect you to agree so easily!" Henry wore a sneering smirk.

What did this woman marry him for? If it was for Lancaster’s wealth, she never asked him for a penny throughout these three years. If it was for him, then why was she was eager in letting him go?

Did she ever care about him? Was he an object that could be given away?!

Yvonne’s mouth was slightly agape when she broke out of her trance. "Test? So you're not asking for a divorce? You're not reconciling with Miss Conrad?"

"Why? Are you sorely disappointed?"

Yvonne shook her head quickly, suppressing the delight and excitement in her, and replied with a shaky voice, "No, no, I'm just very shocked..."

"Hah, no matter how shocked you are, remember this. The Lancasters don’t do divorces!" Henry warned.

Yvonne was even more surprised. "Why haven’t I heard of this?"

Henry’s gaze was evasive. "You haven't heard a lot

about the Lancasters.”

"That’s true too.” Yvonne nodded.

After she married into the Lancasters, she had never quite stayed in the main estate. There were a lot of things that she truly had never learned about. For example, no divorces sounded bewildering, but it was good news to her.

This meant that no matter how much Henry loved Jacqueline, he would not be divorcing her. It seemed that her previous worry was uncalled for. Thinking about it, Yvonne was thoroughly relieved and her high strung nerves finally loosened up.

Henry glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes before moving back to his own office. 1

Once his door was closed, he looked like he had swallowed a frog. He did not know why he said something like "Lancasters don't do divorces." The Lancasters did not even have this rule, but once he heard Yvonne Frey mention divorce, he was inexplicably vexed and angered, and thus he blurted it out. It was not like he regretted it. Why?

Henry could not understand himself but he gave up. H e was not one to crack his head over something he could not figure out, so he suppressed the confusion to the bottom of his heart and got back to his desk to continue working.

Work kept him busy until the sun set. Henry put down his pen and rubbed the place between his brows that

was throbbing.

"Mr. Lancaster." Joe came in with a knock.

Henry put down his book. "What is it?"

"Miss Frey's visa has been approved." Joe passed him a brownish-red document.

Henry took it and flipped through it. “So fast?"
