Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 90

Henry stopped in his tracks. "Sue, what more?"

"Sir, you really can't go tonight!" Sue looked back at Henry seriously.

Henry frowned. "Give me a reason. I don’t believe the one from just now!"

Sue steeled herself. "The reason is, you're madam's husband. I will never allow you to go to another woman. If you must go, I'll call master."

She fished out her phone as she spoke. She was sent here by Old Lancaster. Sir would never send her away.

Sue's warning enraged Henry as he wore a scowl." Sue, are you threatening me?"

"Sir, I’m not. It’s just that you really can't go!” Sue sighed.

Looking at Henry’s glowering face, Yvonne was scared of him exploding in wrath if it went on. She quickly pulled Sue with a smile. "It's fine, Sue. I’m okay. Let him go."

"No, sir really mustn't go tonight!" Sue insisted and persuaded the girl painstakingly, "Madam, I’m doing this for you. If sir steps out of this door today, the consequences are unbearable.”

The severity relayed made Yvonne nervous. "Sue, did something happen?”

Henry kept his gaze on Sue as well.

Feeling the mounting pressure from both youngsters' gazes, Sue said, "It’s actually nothing big. It’s just..."

"Speak!" Henry ordered impatiently.

Sue scratched her head. "Okay, I’ll tell you. It's master’s instruction. He's asked me to watch over you, sir, and not allow you to go out."

"Grandpa?" Henry raised a brow.

Sue's gaze flashed. "Yes. If you don’t believe it, you can call master, sir."

"No need.” Henry tugged his tie.

There was finally a beam on Sue’s face. "Are you still heading out then, sir?"

Henry replied to her with an icy stare before going upstairs.

"Sue, what’s that supposed to mean?" Yvonne pointed upstairs in a daze.

Sue knocked her head. "Madam, you naive girl. Of course sir isn’t going out. Master's really useful in situations like this!"

As she spoke, she nudged Yvonne upstairs as well." Quickly, go back to your room and wash up, madam."

"Why?” Yvonne said in puzzlement, "It's still early. My TV program is still playing."

Henry was not going out anymore. Of course she was i n the mood to watch television again. The series she was on only released two episodes a week. She was adamant about finishing them.

"Ah, madam, the TV isn't important. What’s important i s you and sir’s..." Sue stopped herself abruptly, making Yvonne frown. "Sue, me and Henry's what? Why do I feel that you're acting strange tonight?"

"What's strange? Okay, madam, go along now." Sue opened the door and pushed Yvonne inside before she quickly closed the door, her actions completed in one smooth sequence.

Yvonne was dumbfounded.

When Henry came out from the bathroom, it was a dazed Yvonne standing at the door that he saw and he could not help speaking up, "Yvonne Frey, what are you doing standing there?"

Yvonne snapped out of her reverie. "It’s Sue. I keep feeling like she's acting all mysterious tonight, like she's keeping something from us and not letting us know."

"You didn’t ask her?" Henry asked unbuttoning his sleeves.

Yvonne shook her head. "No, but I don’t think she'll tell me if I ask anyway."

"Never mind about it. Did you spray perfume in the room?" Henry sat down on the couch and poured himself a glass of wine.
