Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 92

"None other than because he wants a grandchild." Sue looked at her weakly.

Yvonne looked stunned before she moved her gaze downward in guilt. "It's my fault for not fulfilling Grandpa’s wish all this while..."

"What does it have to do with you, madam? It’s sir. If sir had been with you at home all the time, how could you not get pregnant?" Sue said and glared upstairs.

Yvonne tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear. "Sue, don't blame Henry. I’ll try to conceive soon."

"No one can be sure of this." Sue patted the back of Yvonne’s hand. "Madam, don't pressure yourself too much. Sometimes, you won't get pregnant when you're stressed."

"Really?" Yvonne got nervous.

Sue nodded. "Of course. My daughter-in-law was like this previously, unable to get pregnant despite wanting it very much. After she went for a checkup, the doctor said that she was wanting it too much and the pressure disabled her from conceiving. So just keep an open mind, madam.”

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Sue." Yvonne took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"That’s right. Let’s go, we'll wait for sir in the dining

room."

"Mm."

Yvonne went to the dining room with Sue and Henry came not long after she sat down. Yvonne took a quick glimpse at him before retracting her gaze and starting to eat.

"About last night..." Henry started but Yvonne cut him off swiftly. "I know, it’s Sue."

"Sue told you?" Henry arched a brow.

Yvonne nodded and shook her head. "I guessed it on m y own but Sue told me that Grandpa asked her to do it."

"It’s Grandpa." Henry nodded.

Yvonne bit her lips and hesitated. "Henry, don't be mad at Grandpa."

She knew that this man hated being schemed. Three years ago when she got married to him, it was also his grandfather's scheme if they got particular about it. Other than not loving her, he had left her high and dry for three years as revenge on his grandfather too. Now that the old man drugged him, Yvonne was afraid of him falling out with his grandfather.

The old man was aged now and regarded family highly. If he had strife with Master Lancaster due to this, it was a pity for the latter.

"Why do I have to be mad at Grandpa?" Henry frowned and looked at Yvonne weirdly.

He was dissatisfied with the old man’s action, but he would not get mad at him because he did promise Yvonne to give her a child. All he could say was that the old man was too impatient.

"You really aren't mad at Grandpa?" Yvonne asked to make sure.

Discerning her skepticism, Henry was a little upset." He's my grandfather, what do you think?"

"That’s good then." Yvonne’s tensed body relaxed.

Henry took a sip from the coffee in front of him. "You seem to be very concerned about Grandpa?"

"Mm." Yvonne hummed with a nod.

"Why?”

"No reason. Because he’s your grandpa," Yvonne replied with a smile.

There was a jolt in Henry's heart. "Because he's my grandpa, you care about him so much?"

"It’s not just because of this." Yvonne put down her knife and fork.

Henry looked down. "There are other reasons?"

"Mm. Grandpa treats me very well. He's the nicest to m e other than Lyn,” Yvonne said gratefully.

Since her younger brother's birth, her life of a nightmare began. She basically grew up in harassment. No one genuinely cared for her. It was when she met Lynette after she worked that she had a friend and re-experienced the feeling of being cared for.

After she got married to Henry, the latter was aloof toward her but the old man was very kind. Although his kindness was based on the premise that she could give birth to a child, he was still kind and Yvonne was willing to repay that benevolence.

"You're quite easy to please then," Henry commented lightly while putting down the coffee cup.

Yvonne bit her fork and smiled. "Contentment brings joy."

"What a narrow perspective!" Henry glanced at her in disdain but there was a small upward angle on the corners of his lips. 1

When Yvonne caught it, her eyes bulged like she had seen something mystical. She gasped, "Henry, you smiled!"
