Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 190 Unable to Reconcile With It

Henry moved his thin lips slightly as if he wanted to say something.

But the master allowed him no such chance. He sneered harshly, "Frederick told you just now. The reason why Yvonne wants a divorce is because you hurt her feelings. Everyone can see that. That's also why I agreed to the divorce."

"But we haven't gone through with that, have we? We didn't go through with the divorce procedures!" Henry said sternly. 1

The master sighed, "Yes, you're not divorced yet. But since I promised Yvonne that, I'll make you go through with it. Besides, Yvonne left you the divorce agreement. It should be in your room. You can go and look for it later." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"I won't sign it!” Henry said without any hesitation.

The master frowned. "So what if you don't sign it? I'll b e in charge of this marriage, and you must get it done no matter what. Since you only love that woman from the Conrads, why don't you let Yvonne go? Otherwise, Yvonne will be much more grieved if this marriage continues."

"Let her go?" Henry's eyes fluttered slightly.

The master looked at him. "Yes. I asked you to marry Yvonne three years ago. Didn't you wish for freedom a t that time? Now after the divorce, both of you can finally be free. What are you dissatisfied with now?" 1

Henry lowered his eyes but made no reply.

The master said again, "I heard that you are trying to locate where she is. Is that so?"

"You know about that, Grandpa?" Henry looked up.

It had not been half an hour since he asked Joe to find where Yvonne was. How could the master know about it so soon?

Thinking about that, Henry glanced at Sue.

Sue averted her gaze guiltily and remained silent.

When Henry saw that, he soon understood the whole picture. Sue must have eavesdropped on their conversation and told the master about it.

The master coughed lightly. "That's enough. You don't have to bother about how I learned about it. Go and ask Joe and the others to stop looking for her. Don't look for her anymore." 1

"No! I must get her back!" Henry was persistent.

The master's facial expression worsened. "Get her back? Are you treating her like a prisoner? What do you plan to do after you get her back? Do you want to lock her up?"

Henry pursed his lips. "No. I just don’t want a divorce."

The master sneered, "You don’t want a divorce, but look at what you did all this while!" The master

supported himself with the walking stick and said angrily, "If it wasn't for the fact that you always side with that woman from the Conrads, and you don't even take revenge for your own baby, why would Yvonne be so disappointed in you? You're the one who brought it on yourself!"

"I know," replied Henry.

He knew all along that Yvonne was dissatisfied with how he dealt with the Conrads.

"Since you know about that, did you do anything? If you did something about it, why would she want a divorce? She wants a divorce now because she’s deeply disappointed in you. It's because she

knows you’ll never protect her no matter what happens. So she made up her mind to divorce you." The master pointed at Henry.

Henry rubbed the place between his eyebrows. "I asked the Conrads to move abroad."

"Is moving abroad punishment for the Conrads?” The master smiled coldly. "Henry, don't you ever assume that I didn't see through your tricks. You asked them t o move abroad just because you know that I can't do anything to them since they would be quite far away. That’s true indeed. I cannot do anything to them for the time being. But as soon as they return to our country, I'll never let them get away with it."

"Grandpa..." "That's enough. I won't change my mind. Besides, I hope you remember what I said to you just now. Don't go looking for Yvonne, and sign the divorce agreement immediately. Get it done quickly. I came today just to tell you about this."

Then, the master got up wobbly. Frederick quickly went and helped him. Then, the two old men disappeared from Henry's sight as they left the villa.

Henry stayed for a while there before he went upstairs to his room again.

That time around, he finally saw the document folder o n the bed. He soon picked it up.

Henry stared at the document folder in a daze. He seemed unable to open it, and he had guessed its content. It should be the divorce agreement that Grandpa talked about.

The document folder was not heavy, but Henry felt that it was quite heavy, and it burned him. It seemed like he was holding a hot iron in his hand, hurting him.

Finally, he still could not manage to open the document folder. He did not even sign his name there. Besides, he did not call Joe, asking him to stop looking for Yvonne.

Actually, he understood what Grandpa meant. He knew that he should sign the divorce agreement just like that. But unknowingly, he found himself quite reluctant to do so. He found it repulsive, and he could not bring himself to reconcile with it.

So he must get Yvonne home, and talk to her in person.

He heard a ringing sound at that moment.

The phone on the bed rang.

Henry came to his senses and picked it up to take a look. It was a call from Joe. He immediately put it near his ear and answered the phone. "Did you find her?”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lancaster. We didn’t find her. We asked around in every station, and we didn't find any record of her purchasing a ticket. At the same time, we also looked up her relatives and friends too, and they too did not have a record of buying a ticket for her. So we doubt that madam left in any kind of vehicle."

'Not a vehicle?'

Henry frowned. 'Did Elliot lie to me? Did Yvonne not take a car, but a plane or a train?'

If that was the case, it meant that he had missed the best time to look for her.

As he was thinking about that, his facial expression worsened. "Go and look up all the routes of the planes and trains. You must find her location for me!"

"Alright.” Joe received his order.

Outside of the room, Sue eavesdropped on their conversation. She narrowed her eyes slightly and sneaked away quietly. After she went downstairs, she called Yvonne. "Madam, something's wrong.

He's asked them to look for you.”

"Look for me?" Yvonne was sitting on an old bus now.

Sue replied, "Yes. The minute he knew that you had left, he asked Joe and the others to look for you."

"Let him be. He won’t be able to find where I am," said Yvonne without any worry.

But Sue was still anxious. "Madam, sir will be able to find where you are one day given his capabilities. What will you do then?"

"It's fine. I'll not be related to him by then. So what if h e finds me? Even if we meet each other, we're nobody but strangers," said Yvonne nonchalantly, but she was experiencing excruciating pain.

Treating Henry as a stranger was quite an impossible task for her currently. It was quite difficult too.

Maybe it would be so after a long time, so long that she no longer loved him. Then, she would be able to forget about him and treat him like a stranger nonchalantly.

"That’s true. But I’m afraid that he might do something bad after he finds you. He might ask them to bring you home. I'm sure you’re unaware of it. After he knew that you had left, he became so ferocious and frightening. I have never seen him like that." Sue looked upstairs and spoke in a soft voice.

Yvonne bit her fingernails. "Frightening? What's... wrong with him?" "He’s certainly wrathful. The master came soon afterward and said a lot of things to him."

"What did he say?" Yvonne became slightly concerned.

Sue signed. "Certainly he asked sir not to do anything rashly. He asked sir to sign the divorce agreement, and not to look for you. But sir did not listen to him."

"Alright, Sue. Don't tell him about my location and contact number."

"Don't worry, madam. I know what I should do but..." "But what?" Yvonne asked.
