Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 177

Yvonne pursed her lips without saying anything.

To be honest, she didn't know if she wanted to greet Henry at all.

From her perspective, she should go over due to her identity not only his wife, but Elliot's secretary as well.

But in her heart, she didn't want to cross that bridge.

While she was toying around with the corners of her dress and hesitating, Henry saw them standing there and walked towards the couple, stopping in front of them.

"Mr. Lancaster,” greeted Elliot warmingly.

Henry nodded as if to acknowledge him and looked at Yvonne. "It's time to come home."

Yvonne didn't want to reply - silence became her reply to him.

Henry raised an eyebrow, and his tone became a little more firm. "Lome on, I’ll take you home."

"Mr. Taylor, could you kindly send me home?" requested Yvonne directly to Elliot.

Elliot gladly nodded and replied, "Of course. Well then Mr. Lancaster, I'll be responsible for getting Yvonne home safely, and you can head back on your own time."

After that, he walked towards his car.

Yvonne naturally followed Elliot to his car, but soon after, Henry grabbed onto her wrist.

"Yvonne Frey!" shouted Henry, his face filled with anger. "How could you walk away with another man when your husband is right in front of you!"

Yvonne firmly shook away his hands and said, "What do you mean by walking away with another man? All I'm asking is for my boss, Mr. Taylor, to send me back home."

"Asking him to send you home? Have you forgotten who your husband is?" said Henry as his face turned gloomy as he fought back a tear in his eye.

Yvonne bit her lip and stubbornly replied, "You won't b e for much longer."

"You..."

"Alright that's enough," said Elliot as he clapped his hands to gain their attention, but more importantly to stop Henry from rampaging. "Mr. Lancaster, please send Yvonne home safely, but I would like to request that you do not get mad at Yvonne. After all, you are in no position to be mad at her, especially not after the things you did to her."

"What I did to her?" Henry squinted his eyes and stared at Yvonne. "What have you told him?"

"Hey, Mr. Lancaster," said Elliot as he pulled Yvonne to his side. "Are you interrogating a criminal now?

Yvonne hasn't told me anything to start with. Even if she has, what does it amount to? It is merely her clearing off what is on her mind, plus the things you have done to her weren't too hard to find out."

"You investigated me?" said the stunned Yvonne. She lifted her head and gazed at Elliot's back.

Elliot turned his head to wink at her, "I was just curious about what had happened to you, so I did a little investigating. I'm sorry for doing it behind your back."

"It's okay," said Yvonne as she waved her hand. She wasn’t bothered by it at all.

In fact, there was no need to cover up what had happened to her. What's done was done.

Seeing that the two of them were speaking so harmoniously, Henry's anger began to skyrocket." Regardless of what I did, it has got nothing to do with you, Mr. Taylor."

"Then let me ask you, Mr. Lancaster, is Yvonne related to the Conrads by any means?" said Elliot with his arms folded. He had a sarcastic smile on his face as h e looked at Henry.

Henry clenched his fist tightly, "What are you trying to say?"

"What I'm saying is, since you and I are not related, you do not wish for me to meddle in your affairs. But, Yvonne is not related to the Conrads either, so on what grounds did she have to give away her bone

marrow and her child to Jacqueline?"

Elliot laughed mockingly as he said this. "Mr.

Lancaster you actually didn't even attempt to seek justice for what happened to your wife. You have really opened up my eyes to what humans are capable of."
