Yvonne looked at Henry and explained briefly, "She made a great contribution and reduced her sentence."
Elliot suddenly raised his chin to indicate that he knew it. He didn't ask any further. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, but his aura was depressing.
How could Henry not see that Elliot was mourning the death of his grandpa? He pursed his lips and stood up. "Well, everything's over now. Are you done eating? Get to work as soon as you're done!"
Elliot knew that Henry was comforting him, not letting him immerse himself in the past. He felt warm deep down in his heart, but he still antagonized him and stood up. "I'm going now!"
With that, he put the cutlery on the table heavily and left the dining room.
Henry sat down again. Yvonne looked at him with a smile. "I didn’t expect that you'd comfort him.”
Henry sipped his coffee calmly. "Although he's not smart, he's still my brother."
"Come. Just say that you care about him. Why do you have to beat around the bush? You act this way, and s o does Elliot." Yvonne shrugged, picked up the napkin to wipe the corners of Theo's mouth and said, "I can see that Elliot has accepted you as his brother, but
he's thin-skinned and can't say it aloud."
Henry's thin lips twitched slightly and the coffee cup blocked his mouth without letting them see it. Then h e said quietly, "I know."
Yvonne sighed, "Both of you care about each other, but none of you are honest that your relationship doesn't seem very good in the eyes of outsiders."
Henry put down the coffee cup and then wiped his mouth. "It doesn't matter, just let them be. As long as w e know it ourselves. Besides, this is how I get along with Elliot. It's also the most comfortable way to get along with him."
Yvonne nodded. "That’s true.”
After all, the brothers had been separated for more than twenty years. Shaw trained Elliot to avenge the Lancaster family, so his affection for the Lancaster family wasn't as deep.
So it would be strange if Elliot became close with Henry as soon as he came back to the Lancaster family.
Furthermore, they were love rivals before this.
Thinking of this, Yvonne sighed a little, lowered her head, and ate the food on her plate in silence.
Henry stood up. "Take your time. I'm going to the group first. There's an important inspection today. I'll come back early to accompany both of you in the evening."
Yvonne put down the cutlery and stood up to help tidy up his tie. "Okay, go ahead. Work hard."
Henry lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the lips.
Yvonne patted his collar. "Alright. It looks neat now. B e careful on the road and drive safely."
Henry's eyebrows softened and he rubbed Theo's hair before leaving the dining room.
Elliot and Henry left one after another. The dining room became quiet and a little lonely.
Yvonne hadn't finished eating yet. She sat back down and ate with Theo, then she asked Theo about his studies.
Although Theo spoke fluently, he couldn't speak naturally when it came to long sentences, especially when it came to describing words and some terms. He was still weak in this aspect.
However, Yvonne wasn't disappointed because Theo had just recovered from autism not long ago. He needed some time for recovery. He shouldn't have any problem speaking after a long recovery period.
Yvonne stayed with Theo in the family residence for about two hours. It wasn’t until Theo's teacher came that she went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went out with her bag. She was ready to meet Lynette.
Right when she walked to the gate of the family residence, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side and ran towards her at a very fast speed.
Yvonne was startled, but she didn't care who the person was. She quickly covered her stomach and stepped back to avoid that person from hitting her.
She was still weak and the fetus was unstable. If the person bumped into her, she wouldn't be able to keep the child.
