Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 206 Henry's Changes

She thought he was pretending to be asleep.

But wouldn't it be uncomfortable for him to be sleeping with his jacket and shoes on? He didn't even cover himself with the blanket!

Yvonne silently sighed. She knelt down to remove Henry's shoes and placed them under the blanket. She then took off his jacket for him before pulling the blanket over him and was about to leave the room when she was done.

Just as she was about to leave, a hand grabbed her wrist.

Before she could react, she was pulled backwards by a strong force.

Bang!

She shrieked as her back landed on a warm chest.

She was startled as she could only see the ceiling and couldn't bring herself to react.

Henry chuckled and hugged her waist. His head resting on her neck as he sniffed the scent that was coming from her neck, he said with a slightly croaky voice, "You still care for me, don't you?”

Yvonne's body stiffened. "Let me go, I don't understand what you're trying to say!"

He lied to her again - he was actually pretending to b e asleep!

She should’ve just rocked him roughly to get him to wake up.

The thought of her prior actions left her feeling stupid for actually doing it!

"You don’t understand?" Henry raised his head slightly and nibbled her neck gently. "I said, you still care for me."

Yvonne had not expected Henry's sudden behavior, her pupils dilated and she was blushing, unsure if it was due to anger or shyness.

"Let go of me, let go of me Henry Lancaster!" said Yvonne as she struggled.

Henry hugged her even tighter instead of releasing her. "Don't move, if you do, I’ll injure my back even more. Don't forget there aren’t any hospitals nearby." 1

Yvonne’s body stiffened up again as she heard this. 1

Henry’s lips curled upwards when he realized Yvonne was being so obedient. "That's right, was something the matter for you to come in so suddenly?"

"Sue is asking you to head downstairs and eat," replied Yvonne, remaining stiff and motionless as she replied.

Henry noticed that she was uncomfortable and gently sighed before letting go of her waist. "Got it, I'll be

there right away."

Yvonne got up and darted out of the room the moment Henry released her.

Henry's lips pursed as he saw her running out so swiftly.

Was he that scary?

Was she so scared of him that she could not wait to leave him as soon she got the chance to?!

As he recalled how Yvonne had rejected him just now, he knew that he still had much to do for her to forgive him. 1

"Sir, you're up." Sue laid out the food on the table and smiled as she saw Henry approaching.

Henry nodded in acknowledgement and turned his head towards Yvonne’s direction.

The woman was quietly sitting by the table. Sensing that he was looking at her, she held her head up to look at him but quickly looked back down again.

Henry walked towards her and sat directly opposite her.

Yvonne saw him and slightly arched an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Lancaster."

"Say my name!" Henry corrected her.

Yvonne pretended not to hear him and continued, "Mr. Lancaster, how long do you intend to stay here?"

"Why, you're chasing me away?” said Henry as he picked up some food to put into her bowl.

Once again, Yvonne was startled by his actions. Her gaze fixed on the food in her bowl, she could not decide whether or not to eat it.

"What’s wrong?" Henry looked at her.

Yvonne opened her mouth and said after a slight pause, "Why did you put food in my bowl?"

She felt as if Henry had changed a lot since she last met him.

Especially now - the way he was treating her was the complete opposite of how he used to treat her.

He had treated her so coldly and impatiently in the past. But now, she could clearly feel the warmth from him, and his impatience had disappeared as well. But what she found the most surprising was that he had actually brought food for her which he had never done before.

"I'm bringing food to my wife. Is there something wrong with that?" Henry looked at Yvonne as he said that.

Yvonne was so startled, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything in reply.

Henry saw her dazed and put down his cutlery to gently caress her hair and said, "Alright, let's eat."

"You..."

"What?" Henry raised an eyebrow.

Yvonne tightly held onto her fork and said, "You have not answered my question.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

What she actually wanted to say was for him to not treat her so intimately ever again.

But she couldn’t bring herself to say the words out loud.

She felt like a total hypocrite. On one hand, she wanted him to leave her as soon as possible. Yet on the other, she felt happy that he was treating her intimately. She felt extremely helpless!

"I'm staying here for as long as you want, until you agree to follow me home," replied Henry as he drank a sip of water.

Yvonne was slightly startled. "You mean you plan to live here permanently?"

She had not planned to leave the house, at least not within a short period.

Henry shrugged and replied, "I wouldn't mind."

"What about your company? You're going to abandon i t?" Yvonne looked at him curiously.

Henry chuckled and said, "You’re worried about the company?"

Yvonne replied shyly, "I-I'm not worried at all. I just don't wish to see Grandpa clearing up your mess if something goes wrong.”

"Since you don't want Grandpa to clean up my mess, why don't you follow me home then?" said Henry.

Yvonne raised her eyebrow. "I won’t go back with you. What happens to your company doesn’t concern me at all, stay here as long as you like for all I care."

As she finished, she put down her cutlery and left the table.

Sue was bringing out some soup when she saw Yvonne leaving. "Madam, are you not going to eat?"

"I'm full, so I'm going out for a walk," replied Yvonne a s she casually left the house.

Seeing that she couldn't stop her from heading out, Sue shook her head and placed the bowl of soup on the table. "Sir, have you got into a fight with madam again?"

"Nope." Henry calmly ate his food.

"Then why did madam storm off just now?” asked Sue as she pointed in the direction that Yvonne left.

Henry smiled cheekily and summarized what he had said to Yvonne just now.

Sue gave a sigh of relief when she heard what had happened. "So that's what happened, thank goodness. But sir, madam is right though, do you really intend to live here for long?”

"Of course not." Henry shook his head.

Sue was puzzled. "Then you mean..."

"Let's stay for a few days and understand how she live in the past. Then, we'll bring her with us when we leave," said Henry.

"Then what are your plans to persuade madam to go back with us? Madam is being very stubborn at the moment. She won't listen to you no matter what you tell her. I tried to persuade her in the kitchen just now, but I guess she hasn't taken in a word I said. In the end, she still needs to leave behind the hurtful things she has gone through," sighed Sue as she shook her head. 1

Henry lowered his eyes and said, "I have my own methods to slowly help her leave the past behind."

"It seems like you have your own plans sir, so I shall leave it to you then." Sue wiped her hands and walked out.

Henry looked at the food in his bowl and lost his appetite. So he put down his cutlery and returned to his room to rest.

He was pretending to sleep back then, but now he was really exhausted.

By the time Yvonne had returned from her walk, Henry had really gone to sleep.

Yvonne stood by her door and looked at him for a while before closing the door gently.

"Why aren’t you going in madam?" asked Sue with a smile. She was standing behind Yvonne.

Yvonne shook her head and replied, "It's alright, I'm going to make a phone call.”

She took out her cell phone and went outside to call Shane Summers.

Shane was a bit surprised to receive her call but answered anyway. "Is something the matter Yvonne?"
