Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 187 Remarriage Is Allowed

Sue hurriedly wiped the tears off her eyes, "I'll get the door madam."

“Okay.” Yvonne nodded.

Sue walked to the door and opened it to find Frederick standing there. She smiled and welcomed him into the house.

"Is madam still here?" asked Frederick as he stepped inside.

Sue replied as she was following behind him, "Yes she is."

"That's good." Frederick let out a sigh of relief and hastened.

Despite his age, Frederick walked so fast others might mistake him for a young man.

"You’re here Frederick," greeted Yvonne warmly as she saw him walk in.

Frederick nodded with a smile. "I've been asked by the master to bring this to you madam."

"What is this?" asked Yvonne as Frederick handed her a file. She was clearly confused by the situation.

Frederick explained, "These are the compensations given by the master for your divorce. It includes a check of one million and five hundred thousand

dollars, a villa to the east of the city, and an empty shop lot."

A shiver ran down her spine as Yvonne heard the items that were being given to her. "This is too much. I cannot accept it!"

She waved her hands to reject the compensations.

She never expected the old man to heavily compensate her for her divorce. In fact, she never expected the old man to compensate at all.

When she got married three years ago, she signed a prenup stating that the Lancasters' wealth had nothing to do with her. This meant that if she were to file for a divorce, she was expected to leave the house empty-handed.

It was exactly because of this prenup that gave her the courage to print out the divorce papers herself. Never had she thought that the old man would've...

As she thought of this, her tears started to roll down her cheeks as she was deeply touched and grateful for his kindness. However, she clearly knew that she could not accept this kindness.

Frederick was a little surprised when Yvonne firmly rejected the offer although he had expected her to react that way. At the same time, he admired how the old man had been able to predict how the situation would’ve played out.

The old man was right. The little girl actually rejected the compensations.

However, his objective was to ensure that she accepted everything that was given to her as per the master's wishes.

"Madam, this is the master's wish. You must accept it. To the Lancasters, this amount is nothing but a speck of dust to them; moreover, it was the Lancasters who wronged you in the first place, and hence you should accept it so that the master feels less guilty.” Frederick held out the file to Yvonne again.

Not only did Yvonne refuse to accept the file, but she even started to take a few steps backward.

Sue had been a witness the entire time and grew impatient. She grabbed Yvonne's shoulders to stop her from retreating. "Madam, you should accept it as it is the master’s wish. He would feel

uneasy if you refuse."

"Sue is right. Please, sign the acceptance papers, madam." Frederick gave Sue a smile to acknowledge her actions.

Yvonne bit her lip. Hesitation was written all over her face. "I really cannot accept these, Frederick, it's too much."

"Madam, this really is nothing to the Lancasters.

Didn't you hear what Frederick said? This is nothing but a speck of dust to them," Sue said as she grew impatient and pulled Yvonne’s hands.

"But..."

"Madam," said Frederick suddenly, interrupting before Yvonne could finish. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Yvonne looked at him and said, "Yes, Frederick?"

"Madam, you can treat this as compensation from the master for your unborn son or daughter. Although they are now gone from this world, they are and will always be a member of the Lancasters and shall not b e forgotten by the master. Hearing this, will you still refuse to accept?" asked Frederick with a deep smile.

Yvonne’s eyes darkened, and her voice croaked as she started to cry, "How could Grandpa still remember the child, while Henry..."

"It’s sir’s loss for not being able to see how blessed he i s," sighed Frederick.

Yvonne shook her head. “You’re wrong Frederick.

Henry has never treated me as his wife from the beginning, and hence he doesn't see the child as his own either.”

"What's past is in the past madam, you should sign and accept these to prove that though stillborn, the child will always be remembered and accepted as part of the Lancasters." Frederick continued to persuade Yvonne.

This time, his words deeply touched Yvonne. She took the file and signed it, finally willing to accept the compensations.

Frederick smiled as she signed the document, "Right then madam, as per the contract, everything stated inside now belongs to you. I will make the arrangements to hand you the check and the land title to you as soon as possible." 1

"Frederick, you are mistaken," said Yvonne. She had a wry smile on her face.

Frederick raised an eyebrow. "Have I said something wrong, madam?"

"I disagree with your statement saying that all these belong to me. All of these have been given by Grandpa to my poor child.”

She had already decided that she will not step foot in that villa, nor will she rent out the shot lot and spend a single dime from that check.

The compensation belonged to her child whose life was traded to receive all these.

Frederick's mouth twitched as he heard what Yvonne said. "My apologies madam, I misspoke."

Although he said what he said previously, it was all purely to make her accept the compensations.

Who knew she would take it so seriously and follow word for word?

Anyway, all was well. He would be able to return back and report to the master that she accepted it.

"Well, I will make a move then madam." Federick closed up the file, ready to leave.

Yvonne gently smiled, "Let me send you off.”

"It's ok madam, you should take care of your health and rest more. This old bag of bones can still manage better than you at the moment," joked Frederick as he kindly rejected her offer.

But Yvonne insisted.

Frederick could only give in to her stubbornness.

As the pair reached the exit, Yvonne let go of Frederick's arms and waved at him. "Goodbye Frederick, thank you for all you’ve done for me for the past three years. Please thank Grandpa on my behalf a s well, for his love and care after all this time."

As she bid farewell, Frederick felt his heartstrings tugging, and his eyes started to grow watery. It was always difficult when you knew that the farewell would be permanent, especially to an old man like him.

"I will be sure to convey your message to the master. Also, I just remembered. The master asked me to convey a message to you as well," Frederick said as he rubbed his eyes.

Yvonne looked at Frederick. "What does Grandpa want to say to me?"

"The master would like you to visit him whenever you _ _ __ H can.

"Alright, I will if I get the chance," replied Yvonne.

But deep down, she knew in her heart that the moment she stepped out of the house, she would return to her hometown and cut all ties with the Lancasters forever.

"I’m glad you agree. There is another thing," said Frederick, and his face became serious all of a sudden.

Yvonne nervously asked as she saw Frederick’s expression. "That is?"

Frederick looked at her. "The master says that if you ever realize that you are truly unable to forget sir, you can come back anytime. The master will allow you two to remarry. In his heart, you will always be the master's one and only daughter-in-law."

Yvonne's eyes widened, so shocked that she didn't know how to react. "Did Grandpa really... say that?"

Her voice shook as she uttered those words.

Frederick nodded. "It’s true, those were the master's own words. He has always favored you all this while.”

Yvonne was completely stunned, and she was deeply touched. She almost cried, "I do not know what I’ve done to deserve such love. I am just a simple girl, that’s all."

"This has nothing to do with simplicity. The master favors you so much, all because of your faithful and devoted love to sir," said Frederick as he spoke directly from his conscience.

Yvonne lowered her head, laughing wryly, "But in the end, I have disappointed Grandpa by insisting on getting a divorce.”

"Don't worry madam, the master loves you all the same. That’s why you must remember what I've just told you. If you cannot forget sir and your love for him, come back as there will always be a place for you here," said Frederick as he patted her head and proceeded to leave.

Sue wiped her hands as she came out of the villa. She saw Yvonne standing there alone weeping and couldn't stop herself from asking, "Madam, what did Frederick say to you? Why are you crying?”
