Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 118 Heart-warming Lynette

"I wanted to let you know that I'd packed, but you ignored me," Lynette said while rolling her eyes.

"I'm sorry, let’s go now," Yvonne smiled embarrassedly and touched the tip of her nose.

"Alright, let’s go,” Lynette said while she picked her bag up.

Both of them went out one after another.

Lynette took her keys out when they reached the parking lot.

Yvonne was surprised when she saw it. "Did you buy a car already?"

"How could I possibly afford one with my current salary? This is my dad’s car," Lynette replied while she pressed her car key.

Yvonne opened the car door and sat inside. Just when she fastened her seat belt, she heard Lynette asking, " Yvonne, did your husband not buy you a car?"

"Why should he buy me a car?” Yvonne looked at her suspiciously.

Lynette raised her eyebrows. "Of course it's because h e is your husband. He used to spend so much on renting dresses and jewelry, and he is friends with Mr. Lancaster, so I guess he should be quite wealthy."

"He is rich, but those are his and it has nothing to do with me," Yvonne smiled.

Lynette was in shock. "His?! Are you telling me that you guys are handling each others' wealth independently?"

"Yes, he wouldn't want the little money I have," Yvonne replied mockingly.

Lynette swallowed her saliva. "Oh my god. Do you guys usually get along this way? Don't tell me that when you guys got married you also signed a prenuptial agreement?"

Yvonne looked down and did not answer the question.

But her look explained it all.

Lynette looked at Yvonne as if she was looking at a fool. "Yvonne Frey, did you really sign it?"

"Yeah," Yvonne nodded.

She had signed a prenuptial agreement once she was selected by the old man to be Henry's bride.

She was the one who proposed this because she was not marrying Henry for the sake of money.

"Are you for real? I always thought that signing this kind of thing was a plot that appeared in dramas. I didn’t expect that it would really happen to someone around me. Why on earth did you sign it? Did your husband force you to?" Lynette asked.

Yvonne waved her hand. "No, it was my decision to

sign it."

Indeed, the old man was very satisfied upon hearing her proposal, so he immediately asked Frederick to draft the contract.

"You're really brave to have signed this thing that is not beneficial to you.” Lynette was speechless.

Yvonne chuckled, "In fact, signing that was just a process. Even if I didn’t sign it, I can't take anything away from my husband's house. After all, those are his pre-marital properties."

"This is how it is after the amendment of the new marriage law, but I always feel that it is too harsh. As a woman, you need to treat yourself better and don’t give your all to men. In case the marriage doesn't work out one day, at least you still have some money for yourself. It's better than nothing," Lynette said while she started the car engine.

Yvonne glared at her. "You're the one whose marriage won't work out. My husband and I are in a perfect relationship."

"I'm just giving an example." Lynette blinked her eyes innocently.

Yvonne wound down the car window, ignoring her.

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant.

Lynette brought Yvonne to an authentic Chinese restaurant. The business was doing really well there weren't any available seats for them when they

entered, so they sat in the waiting area.

After waiting for about half an hour, a group of people finally left and they managed to grab a table.

"It would be nice if we came earlier. My stomach is growling already, hurry up and order." Lynette passed the menu to Yvonne.

Yvonne was not shy at all. She ordered two dishes and passed the menu back to Lynette.

"What did you order?" Lynette took a look and her eyes were about to pop out. "What?! Two vegetable dishes? Are you afraid that I can't afford to pay?”

"That’s not possible. You're a team leader anyway.

Why would I be afraid that you can’t afford it? I just don't have an appetite recently and want to eat something light," Yvonne said after taking a sip of water.

"I will accept this reason reluctantly, but how can we eat vegetables only? Let’s have two proper meals.

Would you like the spicy green crab?" Lynette pointed at the menu.

Yvonne thought for a moment. "Is green crab seafood?"

"Yup."

"Then I don't want that.”

"Why? Don’t you like crabs?"

Yvonne touched her belly and smiled. "That's right, but I may be pregnant so I won’t be eating seafood for the time being." "What did you say?" Lynette closed the menu abruptly and looked at Yvonne in shock. "You're pregnant?"

"I just said maybe -1 haven't checked yet. I’m not even sure if I'm really pregnant," Yvonne replied.

Lynette had not recovered from the surprise yet. "Holy sh*t! I thought we promised to be single together, but now you got married without telling me, and you're pregnant. It's so unfair that I'm still single!"

"You're the one who's not working hard for it. If you d o, then perhaps you'd be married by now," Yvonne mocked her.

Lynette rested on the table. "Don’t say such things. We're still best friends anyway."

"Alright, let’s not talk about it. Hurry up and order. I'm hungry too," Yvonne smiled.

Lynette got up to order.

She took good care of Yvonne and canceled the seafood dishes that she just ordered. She replaced them with two healthy meat dishes.

Not just that, she also canceled her initial plan of ordering a bottle of wine and ordered a bottle of coconut milk instead.

Yvonne knew that Lynette was taking care of her, so she felt touched and helpless at the same time. "You don't have to worry about me. Just order what you want and I won't eat it if I can't."

"That's not possible." Lynette opened the coconut milk, put a straw in it, and passed it to Yvonne. "How can friends eat by themselves? I don't mind doing that for now, but when your child is born, you can treat me to a few meals."

"What if I’m not pregnant?" Yvonne smiled.

"It'd be great if you’re not pregnant. Then we will go for another seafood meal in a couple of days, but I do hope that you’re pregnant.” Lynette put both hands on her head.

Yvonne held the straw. "Why?"

"Why? Do you think I don't know that you've always wanted to have a baby?"

"You..." Yvonne was slightly surprised.

Lynette seemed to know what she was going to say and curled her lips. "During those two days of the team building, I saw how you looked at other people's children. In this scenario, if you’re not thinking of abducting the children, then it’d be your eagerness to have a child." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"So you found out," Yvonne sighed and put down her coconut milk.

Lynette hummed, "I’m not a fool. So when are you going for a checkup?"

"Tomorrow." "It's Monday tomorrow. Are you planning to take a day off?" "Yes." Yvonne nodded.

Lynette yawned and asked lazily, "Will your husband accompany you?"

"I haven’t told him that I may be pregnant. I plan to wait until the results are out. If I'm really pregnant, I'd like to give him a surprise."

"Not bad. I'll go with you tomorrow then."

Yvonne startled. “Are you not going to work?"

"Work is not as important as you." Lynette knocked Yvonne's forehead.

Yvonne pouted. "It hurts."

"Oops, sorry! I wasn't controlling my strength.” Lynette grinned, but there wasn't any sincerity in her apology.

Yvonne pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes." Stop it. I’m going to the washroom."

"Sure, just go," Lynette waved.

Yvonne got up and left for the washroom.

When Yvonne got back, Lynette pointed at her mobile phone on the table. "Your husband just called."

Yvonne was shocked. "You didn't answer that, did you?"

“It's your husband. Why should I pick up the phone?”

Lynette gave her a strange look.

Yvonne gave a sigh of relief. Luckily she saved Henry's contact as 'Husband' and not his name.

"Then I'll return a call to my husband." After saying that, she picked up the phone and walked out of the restaurant to call Henry.

Soon, the phone was connected and Henry's cold voice could be heard from the other end of the line." Where are you?"
