Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 227 Accident in the Lancaster Group

Henry felt Yvonne's reaction. His eyes flashed and his action became gentler.

A phone call suddenly rang at this moment, breaking the romance in the kitchen instantly.

Yvonne immediately became sober and pushed him away. "Your phone.”

Henry took out his phone unwillingly and cursed Joe fiercely in his heart.

Why couldn't he make this call earlier or later instead of right now?

Joe wasn't attentive at all.

"Are you not going to answer?" Yvonne couldn't help but remind the man who was staring at the phone.

Henry closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and picked up the call in front of her.

"What's the matter?” he said in his cold voice.

On the other side of the phone call, Joe was stunned. H e didn't understand what he had done that made Henry upset, but he didn't think much about it. After clearing his mind, he said solemnly, "Mr. Lancaster, something happened at headquarters."

"Something happened?” Henry squinted his eyes.

Joe nodded. "That's right. Our headquarters was targeted by an unknown financial institution.” "What did you say?" Henry's expression changed. "Is what you said true?"

Yvonne was shocked to see him react that way.

What exactly happened that made him so agitated?

"It’s true, just half an hour ago..." Joe explained the entire incident to him.

After listening to the whole story, Henry’s expression turned distressed and the surroundings tensed up. " Did you find out who's behind it?"

"Not yet. I'm still investigating. The directors want to hold a meeting and they’re asking if you're available."

"Of course. I'll be back right away.” Henry hung up.

Yvonne looked at him and asked softly, "What happened?”

"The company’s stock is under attack. I have to go now and I may not come back tonight. I'll ask Sue to bring you dinner," Henry urged as he tidied up his messy attire.

Yvonne nodded. "Alright. Since something happened t o the company, you should hurry and go now.”

"Yeah, I'll take my leave now. Call me if you need anything.” Henry patted her hair and walked away.

Yvonne didn't jump off from the countertop until she heard the door closing from the living room. Her heart felt both lost and grateful at the same time.

She was lost because Henry left her behind again, but she could understand this since something had happened to the company. She could be understanding as long as it didn't have anything to do with Jacqueline.

What made her grateful was that they didn’t carry on with the workout that made her blush with a fast heartbeat. Joe's call came on time, otherwise, she might have really messed with Henry in the kitchen.

In that case, she could never look at the kitchen the same as before.

Thinking of this, Yvonne slightly took a breath. After tidying up her clothes, she continued with the dishes.

Once she was done with the dishes, she went back to her room and watched TV.

Henry never came back at night, just as he said.

She checked the time and it was almost ten o'clock.

She had no idea if his company's affairs had been resolved.

"Madam." Sue came out of the kitchen with a glass of milk.

Yvonne turned to look at her. "Yes?"

"This glass of milk is for you. Drink it while it's still warm." Sue handed her the milk.

After Yvonne thanked Sue, she took a sip of the milk that she was holding.

"Madam, it's late. Please rest early after you drink the milk. I should go back to the villa too." Sue bid her goodbye.

Yvonne nodded. "Okay. Be careful on your way back, Sue."

"Don't worry. The driver is waiting for me outside. I'll take my leave now then." Sue took the lunch box from the coffee table, waved her hand, and walked towards the door.

After Sue left, the apartment was empty again.

Yvonne felt lonely even though the TV was switched o n.

The loneliness made her regret moving out alone.

If she hadn’t moved and was still living at the villa with Sue, she wouldn't feel as lonely as now.

Yvonne sighed when she thought about it and finished the glass of milk in just a few sips. Then, she went to wash up.

It was so late and Henry probably wouldn’t be coming over.

There was no need for her to wait anymore.

Yvonne yawned and went to sleep after her shower.

It was already ten in the morning when she woke up the next day.

She walked out of her room after changing. She was surprised to see Sue cleaning the living room. "Sue?

Why are you here?"

Sue stopped mopping the floor and greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, madam.”

"Morning," Yvonne returned a smile.

Sue then answered her question. "It was sir. He called and asked me to bring you breakfast. But seeing that you were still sleeping, I didn't want to wake you up."

"Henry called and asked you to come over?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows. "When did he make that call?"

"In the morning, about eight o’clock," Sue answered while recalling her memory.

Yvonne then came to a realization. "So he called you. Does that also mean he didn't go back to the villa last night?"

"Nope." Sue shook her head.

Yvonne remained silent.

It seemed that something serious happened in the Lancaster Group this time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be too busy to stay overnight.

Yvonne really hoped that Henry could resolve it as soon as possible.

"Sue, how did he sound when he called you? Was his voice hoarse?" Yvonne asked again.

Sue shrugged. "I didn't pay attention to that, madam. If you wish to know, you may call sir to ask about it. Haven't you guys reconciled already?"

"Not completely reconciled yet," Yvonne replied while rubbing her nose. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Sue teased, "It's almost there. Since you care for sir, just give sir a call."

She persuaded Yvonne again.

Yvonne hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded. " Okay."

She took her phone out, looked for Henry’s number, and dialled it.

Eventually, the phone call was connected, but there was no answer.

Feeling helpless, she sighed and hung up.

Sue watched as Yvonne put her phone away. She was confused and asked, "What's the matter?"

"No one answered. He’s probably still busy. He left in a hurry yesterday after hearing that something happened to the Lancaster Group.” Yvonne flashed back her memory.

Sue nodded. "It seems so. When sir first inherited the Lancaster Group, he had been busy for the entire week without much rest."

"Without much rest for a week? How can his body take it?" Yvonne was shocked.

Sue spread her hands and said, "He didn't make it through. That’s why sir came back to sleep after he settled the company's affairs. He almost slept for a whole day at that time." "Will he be the same this time?" Yvonne was a little worried.

Sue patted her hand. "Don't think so much, madam. Perhaps sir is able to get everything settled by today."

"You're right too," Yvonne smiled reluctantly.

Sue took Yvonne's hand and walked her to the dining table. "Eat your breakfast first, madam. Do you have any plans after breakfast?"

Yvonne took a bite of the bread. "I'm planning to visit Lyn at my previous company."

She hadn't seen Lynette for days and they hadn't been contacting each other either. She kinda missed Lynette.

"It’s good to meet a friend," Sue smiled and nodded," Then let me get the driver to send madam over later."

"No." Yvonne refused. "I'll just call for an Uber.”

Seeing Yvonne so persistent about this, Sue sighed helplessly and let her go.

After breakfast, Yvonne took an Uber to her previous company.

Since she was no longer an employee of the company, she was stopped by the security and couldn't enter the office.

She had no choice but to take her phone out and make a call to Lynette.

"Who's this?" Soon, Lynette's confused voice could be heard from the other side of the call.
