Love After Marriage Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 235

Yvonne felt her belly and shook her head, her face was blushing. "I was in a rush when I came out so I had forgotten to eat."

"Is that so." Henry dragged his sentence which sounded mysterious.

Yvonne got up and said, "I'll be heading back now, enjoy your meal."

"Hold on." Henry grabbed onto her wrist, stopping her i n her tracks.

Yvonne turned to look at him. "Is there anything else?"

Henry chuckled and placed a fork in her hands. “Let’s eat together."

"What?" Yvonne was startled. "Together?"

"Yep," nodded Henry.

Yvonne looked at the fork in her hands and said, "But Sue prepared this for you."

"Seems like she prepared enough for the both of us," corrected Henry, he then showed her the contents inside the lunchbox.

Yvonne then realized that the food in the lunchbox was way too much for one person to finish. There were even two sets of cutlery prepared inside. Henry was right - it was a lunchbox for two.

"What in the..." Yvonne was dumbfounded.

Henry pulled her down to her seat again and said, " Sue probably planned for you to bring me my lunch all along, hence she prepared two portions."

"That means she was lying when she said she had errands at the villa?” said Yvonne with a frown.

Henry smiled and his eyes curved upwards as well as he said, "Possibly. Anyway, enough about that, let's eat."

Henry gestured for her to hurry up.

Yvonne nodded and temporarily put aside her thoughts and ate quietly.

There was enough food for her anyway, so why shouldn’t she eat it?

It also felt refreshing and exciting, eating together with him in the office for the first time.

When they were finished, Yvonne tidied up the boxes and took them to the washroom to clean them.

After she was done cleaning, she said farewell to Henry.

Henry put down the documents and asked her, "You’re leaving already?"

"Yeah, I should head back soon," said Yvonne as she wiped the stains off the table.

"Aren't you going to walk around and look around the building?" asked Henry.

Yvonne paused for a while and asked, "Look around the building?"

"You're about to work here soon. I informed the staff earlier today that I would bring you here to familiarize yourself with the place. Since you're here now, we might as well carry forward with our plans," said Henry lazily as he crossed his fingers.

Yvonne was a little surprised with what she had heard.

However, she shook her head to refuse after thinking for a short while. "Let's leave it for another day. I'm only here to deliver your food today. I won't be able to know my way around here alone, also Frederick isn't here to guide me either.”

"I’ll show you around myself, or I could arrange for someone to guide you as well," replied Henry.

Yvonne continued to refuse his offer and said, "Forget i t, we'd raise too much suspicion if you show me around. Also, it wouldn’t make any difference if you arrange someone to show me around on any other day.”

Henry was a little unhappy at her stubbornness but decided to let her go anyway.

"Then I'll be leaving now.” said Yvonne. She picked up the lunchbox and walked off without realizing how Henry had felt.

"Hold on," called Henry again.

Yvonne stopped once more. "What is it?"

"I'll send you off," said Henry as he got out from his chair.

Yvonne hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands and said, "It's alright, you don't have to send me off."

Henry's face darkened at Yvonne's constant rejection t o his offers and said, "Why, are you ashamed of me?"

"No, you've misunderstood me." Yvonne quickly explained, "I just told you that we'd raise suspicion if you showed me around the company. The same thing goes if you send me off, so I should probably leave alone."

"Are you that afraid of people talking behind your back?" Henry squinted his eyes.

Yvonne tightened her grip on the lunchbox and did not reply.

Was she afraid?

"Are you surprised to see me?" Elliot rested his arm on the window pane and smiled at her charmingly, pretending not to see her disheartened expression.

Yvonne forced a smile and said, "I am a little surprised. What are you doing here?"

"I just dropped off my dad at the airport and passed by this place and saw you..." Elliot scanned her from top t o bottom. "What are you doing here anyway? Aren’t you supposed to be in the village? How are you back after so few days? I thought I was seeing things just

now."

"I'm here to deliver his lunch.” Yvonne held up the lunchbox she was holding.

As for who she was referring to, there was no need to elaborate.

It would be none other than Henry as they were just outside of the Lancaster Group’s headquarters.

Elliot raised both his eyebrows. "Delivering lunch?

You're back on terms with Henry?”

"Almost," replied Yvonne.

Elliot wryly smiled and said, "How did that happen?"

"I-it..." Yvonne paused for a while and shook her head instead without intending to explain herself.

Elliot did not push her for the answer and snickered," What were you thinking getting back together with Henry? Have you forgotten what kind of a man he is? Have you forgotten what he did to you and your child?"

"I remember." Yvonne's face sank. "But this is between me and him. You should stay out of it, Mr. Taylor."

"I'm not trying to interfere." Elliot held onto his forehead. "I just feel sorry for you, and how you’ve gotten back with the man who hurt you so deeply so easily. Aren't you afraid of being hurt again?"

Yvonne's expression changed but she did not reply.

To be honest, she was afraid.

But she was helplessly in love with Henry despite being afraid.

Love really did make people do silly things.

Elliot sighed as he saw Yvonne remain silent." Yvonne, how could you do this to yourself? You finally managed to escape from hell, yet you’ve immediately jumped back into it again. I'm speechless, do you actually love Henry so much?"
