Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 57 Stay Away From Men

"Henry?" Yvonne looked at the man at the door in shock. "Why are you here?"

Henry ignored her as his cold gaze lingered on Shane's hand that was placed on the girl's head, feeling offended by it.

Noticing his displeasure, Shane removed his hand calmly and said with a chuckle, "I asked him to come here. You’re being discharged today. He has to come pick you up."

"I see." Yvonne nodded with realization.

"What were you guys doing just now?" Henry asked again, walking toward both of them.

"Don't misunderstand, Henry. My sis-in-law had something on her head just now, and I was just cleaning that up for her." Shane blinked. "Right, sis-in-law?"

Not wanting Henry to misunderstand as well, Yvonne subconsciously agreed with his words. "Yeah."

"Then where's that something? Show me." Henry pressed his lips together. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Yvonne panicked. Oh, no, he was being serious!

Where was she going to produce some kind of dirt to show to him?

Thinking about it, Yvonne glared at the culprit.

The culprit rubbed his nose, knowing he was at fault." Sorry, Henry. I can't show you, I've already thrown it away. It’s just a small paper scrap. Alright, you spouses talk. I'll take my leave now."

Shane waved his hand and left hastily after that.

"Henry..." Yvonne spoke up but was cut off by Henry who looked icy. "Yvonne Frey, stay away from him from now on. Stay away from all other men. Do you hear me?!" 6

He was not around for only a handful of days but she was already so chummy with Shane and the latter had been blatant in regarding his disdain about her previously but now...

Even Elliot Taylor from the Taylor Group had asked about her on the day of signing the contract.

Did this man know that she was already married? 1

"Sure, it's not like I have any male friends," Yvonne agreed in a daze.

Henry looked better then. "Where's your bag?"

"Here!" Yvonne pointed to the suitcase beside her.

Henry went over and pulled the handle up. "Let's go."

"I can do it." Yvonne was thinking about wheeling it o n her own. She was already content that Henry was here to pick her up. To have him help her with her things, she was not yet used to it.

"Nevermind." Henry moved the suitcase to his other hand. "Let's go now. I still have a meeting to attend later."

"Oh." Hearing the impatience laced in his voice, Yvonne dared not say more and obediently followed him out.

Nonetheless, she kept feeling like she had forgotten something on the way yet she was unable to recall it.

It was not until she got into the car and saw Sue that she realized in a startle that it was her whom she had forgotten. How awkward...

Returning to the villa, Yvonne stretched lazily on the couch and exclaimed, "Ah, home is always here."

Henry, who was putting the suitcase away, froze for a beat and lightly uttered, "Home?"

He turned to look at her. "Yvonne Frey."

"Hmm?” Yvonne titled her head. "What is it?"

"You think this is your home?" 1

Yvonne hummed, "Yeah, isn’t it?"

She had gotten married to him, so of course this was her home. It was her only home too!

Henry pursed his lips. "You're easy to please." 2

He found it harder to figure her out. She had stayed in this empty house for three years and she could still see the house as her home. What was she actually

thinking?

"Can I take that as a compliment?" Yvonne’s fingers met each other as she looked hopefully at Henry.

Henry turned away. "Whatever you like."

"I'll take it as a compliment then." Yvonne smiled before the smile faded and she asked sullenly, "Henry, why didn’t you come to see me when you came to the hospital these days?"

He did not know how much her heart ached when she knew that he had gone to see Jacqueline and not her.

"No reason. Have a rest, I'm leaving." Henry's gaze flitted for a flash before he looked down and replied faintly. 1

Sue who was coming out of the kitchen with freshly brewed tea could only catch Henry hastily retreating back.

"Madam, what's the matter with sir?"

Yvonne shook her head. "I don't know either. I was just asking why didn't he come to see me these days and now he's like that."

"Sir's been behaving strangely these few days," Sue muttered.

Yvonne blinked in confusion. "Strangely?"

"Yeah, madam, you didn’t know. When you were sleeping two days ago, sir actually came to visit you but he somehow stayed at the door, refusing to come i n. Once I asked about it, he left," Sue said while pouring Yvonne some tea. 1

Yvonne took the tea and held it in her palms, not drinking it. "Was he facing some issues?"

"I'm not sure. But judging from how he looked, it didn't seem like he was having problems. Why don't you ask him when you have time, madam?"

"Forget it. I don't think he'll tell me." Yvonne drank the tea. i

Sue merely sighed and went back to her chores.

After sitting around for some time, Yvonne went back upstairs to her room and kept the swan necklace in the jewelry box. From now on, the necklace did not belong to her anymore.

Yvonne smiled while looking at the swan necklace through the glass before turning away to the bathroom, planning to sleep after taking a shower.

She slept all the way to the next morning.

Having changed, Yvonne went downstairs with a yawn.

When Sue saw what she was dressed in, she was surprised. "Madam, you're going to work today?"

"Mm, I haven’t gone in days. I should go back to work," Yvonne replied.

Sue was a little worried. "But your health..." "I'm fine." Yvonne moved her arms about to show her.

Tickled, Sue chuckled. "Alright then, have breakfast first."

"Okay." Yvonne went to the dining room after her.

Henry did not come back last night, so she had breakfast alone. Toward the end of her meal, she had a lot left.

Sue frowned when she saw it. "Madam, you barely had any."

"I don’t quite have the appetite." Yvonne stroked her belly. She did not feel like eating much when she woke up this morning.

"No appetite? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Why don’t you stay home today?” Sue said anxiously.

Yvonne was speechless. "Don't worry, Sue. I’m really okay. Maybe I've had too much good food in the hospital recently, so my appetite hasn't switched back to normal yet. I’ll be alright tomorrow. I'm going off now." 1

She waved her hand and left the door after picking up her purse on the chair beside her.

Having been absent from work for a few days, Yvonne was once again welcomed by all sorts of odd stares the moment she stepped through the company's doors.

She could not help wondering if she had made any joke out of herself when she entered the elevator.

"Yvonne!" Lynette bolted through the door before

Yvonne even sat down in her office.

"You're really here. I thought that you resigned when I hadn't seen you in the office for so long." Lynette held her hand and scanned her from head to toe in delighted surprise. 1

"Why do I feel that you've gotten a lot thinner and you don’t look as good? Are you ill?"

"Yeah. That's why I called in sick these few days." Yvonne pulled her hand back.

"What did you catch to have not come for so many days? Are you okay now?" Lynette asked in concern.

Feeling a gush of warmth in her heart, Yvonne poured her some warm water. "Just something minor. I’m fine after the surgery."

"You got surgery and you call that minor?!” Lynette exclaimed.

"Hush!” Yvonne quickly shushed her.

Lynette nodded and lowered her volume. "Yvonne, you wouldn't have gone for an abortion, would you? Why else could you be discharged so soon from the hospital for a surgery?"
