Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 78

"I don’t think so..." Yvonne replied with a finger tapping her lips, unsure.

Henry said that he did not blame her but he was upset toward the end. Yvonne was uncertain if he was actually angered. It was too difficult to figure that man out!

Not knowing Yvonne's thoughts, Lynette believed what she said. "Looks like Mr. Lancaster is really a gentleman. He isn’t even angry at you."

"Gentle?" Yvonne repeated to herself.

Perhaps... Henry was gentle, but it was rarely toward her. All his tenderness was reserved for that woman named Jacqueline! 1

Thinking about it, it was like a needle that pricked Yvonne's heart. It felt sore and painful.

"Okay, Lyn, that’s it for now. I’m leaving. I'll be back again after a few days." Yvonne forced a smile as she zipped her suitcase up and suppressed her emotions.

Lynette nodded reluctantly. "Let’s go, I’ll send you off."

"Mm."

Pulling the suitcase, both of them hooked arms as they exited the hotel.

Joe had been waiting in the car. When he saw both of them approaching, he got down from the vehicle.

"Miss Frey, are you done packing?" Joe looked at the suitcase in Yvonne's grip.

The girl nodded. "Yup."

"You can give me your suitcase and get in the car first, Miss Frey.” Joe extended his hand to take over the suitcase and put it in the trunk.

Yvonne watched him for several seconds without saying anything, exclaiming at his competence as Henry's right-hand man due to his ability to switch around addressing her as Miss Frey and madam so naturally depending on who they were around. He was not even worried about making a blunder.

"Yvonne, I'll go back first then." Lynette waved at Yvonne to bid her goodbye.

Yvonne caught herself and hummed softly. "Okay, go ahead."

Lynette gave her a hug before going back to the hotel.

Yvonne got in the car and Joe asked her from the front, "Do you have a good relationship with her, madam?"

"She’s my only friend,” Yvonne answered with a smile.

Joe nodded. "She looks concerned for you, madam."

"Mm, Lyn and I have known each other for many years. She’s my best friend. She's helped me a lot in certain aspects.”

"I see," Joe replied ambiguously and kept quiet.

Yvonne could not figure out what he meant by asking these things, but she was not in the mood to guess, turning her head toward the window.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital.

When Yvonne lugged her suitcase into the ward, Henry was making a call resting on the hospital bed. H e had merely glanced at her when he saw her enter before shifting his gaze away.

It was not like Yvonne was hoping that he would welcome her, so she was unfazed by his aloofness. She squatted down at a corner quietly and opened her suitcase to unpack and place her items.

To prevent herself from disturbing Henry, Yvonne’s actions were soft and gentle, making close to no sound. Hence, when Henry was done with the phone call, she was still unpacking her belongings.

"Yvonne Frey, did you move everything here?" Henry asked in a low voice when he espied what she unpacked. Was this woman moving houses?

Yvonne zipped up the empty suitcase and placed it aside. "Yeah, I don't have much with me so I moved everything over to make it easier. I have to use all of them anyway."

"You call this not much?” Henry frowned.

His table was fully occupied. When he saw half of the pile as bottles of medicines, however, he swallowed his words about asking her to place her things back to where they were.

"Alright. Pass me the laptop over there." Henry pointed at the device behind the girl.

Yvonne did as she was told. "You're going to work?"

"Mm."

"Are you sure? You're now..."
