Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 175 Acting as an Assistant

Henry's expression tightened and he shouted when the car rode off, "Yvonne Frey!”

However, all he heard was the car honk.

"Your husband is calling out to you again." Elliot's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he looked at the man slowly disappearing from his rearview mirror as he drove.

Yvonne craned her neck to look for Henry after Elliot said that, but she was too late. There was nothing in the rearview mirror except for an empty road.

"Did he really call out to me just now?" She was a little suspicious.

Elliot nodded. "Yes, I saw him. Do you want to go back t o him?"

"Ho." Yvonne retracted her neck and shook her head gently.

Elliot shot a quick glance at her. "What's wrong? It feels like you've suddenly lost interest in Mr.

Lancaster. Did something happen?"

"Nothing." Yvonne turned her head to the window next to her, staring at the scenery outside in a daze.

Elliot twitched his eyelids. "Really? But you don’t look good now. Look at how thin you are."

Yvonne did not answer.

Elliot sighed, "Fine. Pretend that I've said nothing.”

"Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you, but there are things that I don't want to talk about,” Yvonne apologized.

Elliot snorted, "Your apology is too insincere.”

"What do you want then?" Yvonne turned and looked a t him.

Elliot rolled his eyes. "Have lunch with me later."

"Lunch?"

"Yes, I'm meeting a client in a while and my assistant i s on leave today. So you will act as my assistant to help me out with some documents," Elliot said.

Yvonne pondered for a few seconds. "But I haven’t worked as an assistant before."

It would make more sense to her if it was a secretary job, but how was she going to do well as an assistant?

Elliot winked at her as he said, "That's alright. There are several kinds of assistants. The personal assistant is the easiest and that's what you will be role-playing a s."

Yvonne thought for a while. "Okay then. I'll try it out. Consider this as me returning your favor for giving me a ride." "You’re really calculative." Elliot shook his head dully.

Yvonne slightly smiled. Her gloomy mood grew slightly better. "By the way, Mr. Taylor. I haven't asked you this, but why were you outside the villa just now?"

"Because I bought a house in the area," Elliot replied.

Yvonne was surprised. "Bought a house? There are no villas for sale in this area."

"As long as you have money, you can buy any house," Elliot proudly smiled.

The corners of Yvonne's mouth twitched, "Of course. Rich people are really willful. When did you buy it?"

"I bought it a long time ago and it's been empty. I didn’t move in until yesterday. Then, I happened to bump into you right when I was heading out to meet a client," Elliot explained.

Yvonne nodded slightly. "I see. I was still wondering why I hadn't seen you in that area before."

"We will see each other often in the future. The villa I bought is not too far from yours,” Elliot said with a smile.

The smile on Yvonne gradually disappeared, "I'm afraid we might not see each other in the future."

"What do you mean?" Elliot asked while his smile faded.

Yvonne licked her dry lips. "It’s nothing. There’s a printing shop ahead of us. Mr. Taylor, please stop the car so that I can settle something."

"What are you going to do at a printing shop?” Elliot was very curious.

Yvonne didn’t answer, but she got out of the car and walked right into the shop.

Elliot speculated for a while, then followed her. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Yvonne heard his footsteps from the back. She didn't cast him away and let him be.

Upon entering the printing shop, Yvonne took out a USB flash drive from her bag and handed it to the clerk, "Please print the documents in the flash drive for me."

"Sure.” The clerk took the flash drive and sat behind the computer.

Yvonne walked to the printer and waited for her documents to be printed.

Soon, the printer buzz and a few pieces of papers appeared. But she wasn't in a hurry to collect the documents at once - she only picked them up after the printer stopped.

"Excuse me, is there a paper file?" Yvonne asked the clerk after collecting the documents.

The clerk nodded. "Yes, please wait for a moment.”

"Alright," Yvonne responded.

Elliot looked at her. "What is so important that you have to get it printed?”

"This." Yvonne didn't plan to keep it a secret and generously handed the documents over to Elliot.

He was stunned when he read it. "A divorce agreement? Are you going to divorce Mr. Lancaster?"

"Yes. Is there any problem?" Yvonne calmly took the documents back.

Elliot swallowed his saliva, "It is a big problem.

Yvonne. Why are you divorcing Mr. Lancaster all of a sudden? I persuaded you about this before, but you showed no interest at all." 1

"Something happened and now I have to file for divorce," Yvonne answered briefly. Then, she saw the clerk walk over with a yellow paper file.

"Miss, here’s your file." The clerk handed her the paper file. "Total is thirty dollars."

"Thank you." Yvonne took the paper file and slipped the documents in. She made the payment through her mobile phone and left the printing shop.

Elliot followed behind her. "Yvonne, since you're printing this out by yourself, you’re clearly requesting for a unilateral divorce. What happened to you?"

"Can you stop asking? I don't want to talk about it!" Yvonne stopped walking and replied angrily. It was obvious that she had lost her temper after being questioned by Elliot.

Elliot shrugged. "Alright, alright. I won't ask anymore.” Since she refused to say anything, he had to send someone to figure it out.

He was extremely curious. What exactly did Henry do t o her that she wanted a divorce?

"Let's go, Elliot. Don’t you want to meet the client?" Yvonne asked Elliot after she took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart.

Elliot turned his car keys. "Let's go.”

Both of them walked to the car that was parked on the roadside.

As soon as they got into the car, Yvonne's mobile phone rang.

She put the paper file on her lap and took out the mobile phone from her bag. Her eyes flickered when she saw the caller ID and she decided to hang up the call.

"Why don't you answer?" Elliot glanced at her.

Yvonne turned off her mobile phone and shoved it back in her bag. "It's an unwelcome call, so there’s no need to answer that."

"Is it really an unwelcome call or was it Mr. Lancaster?" Elliot’s mouth curled up with a smile.

Yvonne pursed her small mouth without answering.

Elliot sighed, "Alright, I'll keep quiet.”

After a while, no one spoke. Once they reached their destination, Elliot took the lead to break the silence." You can't be like this!"

"What?" Yvonne frowned suspiciously.

Elliot touched his chin and circled around her. "Your attire is not appropriate. You don't look like my assistant, but an ordinary clerk girl."

"What should I do then?" Yvonne looked at her simple and cheap casual clothes. "How about we forget about this? I will only embarrass you."

"It's fine, come with me." Elliot snapped his fingers and brought her to the opposite mall.

Yvonne looked at Elliot holding her wrist and subconsciously shook it away. "Mr. Taylor."

Elliot hummed, "What's the matter?”

"Hand..."

Elliot was taken aback and reacted with an embarrassed smile, “Sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I hope you don't mind."

"I won't." Yvonne forced a smile, "Why are you taking me to the mall, Mr. Taylor? I thought we were supposed to meet a client?”

"The client is not in a hurry. We still have plenty of time. Let me take you for a makeover first,” Elliot said while hustling her into a styling room. He then shouted to the upper floor, "Tony, come out and welcome the guest!”

"Welcome a guest?" Yvonne looked at Elliot weirdly.
