Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 87

"No." Yvonne rubbed her nose awkwardly.

Honestly, she could not imagine Henry fighting as well.

"Alright, what are you two doing outside? Come in now!" Henry who heard their playful laughter from the office finally barked, feeling it grating on his ears and fueling an angry flame within him.

Not daring to stall, Yvonne went past Shane and entered quickly.

"Henry," she called out.

Henry looked at her with an inexplicable emotion." You..."

"Hmm?" Yvonne tilted her head.

"Nothing." Henry cast his gaze away.

He actually wanted to ask her if she was equally uncomfortable when she heard him calling Jacqueline by her nickname. For some reason, however, he could not vocalize the words, afraid to hear an answer he did not want. 1

"Oh..." Looking at the man who kept quiet ultimately when he looked like he had something to say, Yvonne pursed her lips rather disappointedly.

Shane did not come into the office but watched the two while he leaned against the door frame. "Okay, the interaction between the two of you is awkward even for someone watching. Henry, go over to Jacqueline's. I'll take her for a checkup."

He pointed at Yvonne.

Henry pulled a chair over to sit down. "I’ll wait for you guys here."

"Not going to Jacqueline anymore?" Shane looked at him playfully while Henry ignored him with a frosty expression.

Shane was unfazed by his reaction. He entered the room with a shrug to pick up a case record clipboard and had it clamped under his arms. "Sure. Then wait for us here. Let's go."

Yvonne looked at Henry before nodding. "Okay."

She was the first to head out, followed by Shane. The man stopped after a few steps and turned to tell Henry seriously, "Henry, I don't care what you think about Jacqueline now, but since you say that it’s impossible between the two of you, you better keep your words."

"Are you teaching me how to act?" Henry clenched his jaws.

Shane adjusted his expression and smiled again. "No, no, I’m just reminding you. Yvonne is your wife. Even when you think that you don’t love her, put her in the first place of priority and give her the respect she deserves as your wife. Otherwise, there are people around who are willing to be better toward her." 1

"Are you talking about yourself? So you do..." "Ah!" Shane cut Henry off with a cry, looking at his watch with an exaggerated look. "Sorry, Henry. It's about time. If I don't use the lab, other doctors occupy i t for their checkups. Bye."

With his long legs, Shane strode away, leaving Henry with the view of his back.

Henry gripped his fists tightly. The storm at the bottom of his eyes was threatening to destruct the world. He was certain now that Shane harbored an interest in Yvonne. His words just now were warning him that he would snatch Yvonne away if he mistreated the girl!

How dare he proclaim that he was stealing his wife? It did not matter, however. Even when Henry did not love Yvonne, she could only be his, not someone other men could covet! 1

Henry made a call with a scowl.

"Mr. Lancaster?” Joe’s voice drifted from the speaker.

Henry got up to the French window. "Make arrangements for another doctor to take over Yvonne Frey’s future body checkups."

"Another doctor?” Joe asked in confusion, "What's the matter with Dr. Summers? He's the best surgeon."

The veins on Henry's forehead throbbed. "Shane will only be in charge of Jack... Jacqueline. Yvonne Frey won't be under his care, so change her to another

doctor."

“Okay, I understand." Joe obliged.

Henry kept his phone and sat back down at his previous spot to continue waiting for Yvonne.

After approximately two hours, she came back alone without Shane. Henry looked much better when he saw that. "What took you so long?”

"I did a full body checkup. Sorry for making you wait s o long." Yvonne smiled apologetically.

Without a reply, Henry got up to head out and Yvonne quickly followed suit.

When they got in the car, Henry extended his hand. " Give me your phone."

"What's the matter?" Yvonne asked curiously but her hands worked at the same time to pass him her phone.

Receiving the device, Henry checked her call history and found Shane's contact number before he blocked i t directly.
