Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 100 The More You Say, The More Mistakes You'll Make

Yvonne wasn't stupid. Naturally, she knew that Henry's clothes were very expensive. She couldn't just wash it like any ordinary clothes. If she damaged the clothes, there was no way she could pay for it.

If she knew this would happen, she wouldn't have said those words to him...

Yvonne fully regretted her actions but what has been done is done. She could only face it straight on, what else could she do?

"Sigh..." Yvonne sighed. She found a shopping bag from her drawer, folded Henry's clothes and placed them in the bag. She decided that she would get Sue's advice after work.

Sue did Henry's laundry so she should know how to deal with his clothes.

With those thoughts, Yvonne assured herself and continued working back at her desk.

In the evening, Yvonne took the bag of clothes and decided to return to the villa when it was time to knock off work.

The moment she stepped out from her office, she ran into Henry.

He just stepped out from his office and there was a coat on his arm.

"Mr. Lancaster," Yvonne greeted him.

"Are you knocking off?" Henry looked at her.

"Let's go back together." Henry wore his coat and headed to the elevator.

Yvonne froze for two seconds before quickly following behind him. "You’re going back to the villa instead of the hospital?" she asked softly.

"Why should I go to the hospital?" Henry pressed the elevator button.

Yvonne looked around before answering, "Obviously t o see Miss Conrad."

Usually, he would've left for the hospital to visit Jacqueline at this time.

"I’m not going." Henry stepped into the elevator.

Yvonne followed suit. "Wouldn't Miss Conrad be unhappy?”

"I haven't gone to the hospital for two days," Henry stared at the closing door as he replied blandly.

Yvonne’s mouth was agape. "Two days?"

"Yes, after I’ve sorted things out with her, I haven't seen her. I'll also try to minimize my contact with her." Henry's gaze lingered on Yvonne’s face for a while.

He would only visit Jacqueline if something serious happened or he'd usually want to keep his distance.

Jacqueline should understand very well and accept the fact that their relationship was no longer the same.

"Since you didn't visit Jacqueline these two days, where did you go?" Yvonne wasn't happy to hear what Henry said so she grew anxious instead.

'He didn't visit Jacqueline but he also didn't go back to the villa.

'Did he decide to move back to where he used to live, just like before?’

"I went back to the family residence.” Henry adjusted his collar. "Our family's remembrance day is nearing, and I've got to make many arrangements back at the family residence."

"So, you didn’t move back to your old place?" Yvonne confirmed with him once more, clasping her hands tightly together.

She suddenly felt that she had experienced the ups and downs of life in that short minute.

"I didn’t move back." Henry nodded. "Why? Did you assume I moved out?"

"Yes..." Yvonne nodded.

Henry's lips curled upwards slightly. "So, you wanted me to move back?"

"Of course not!” Yvonne retorted without thinking.

Henry folded his arms and watched her, unfazed."

Why?"

"Because... because I'm not pregnant yet," she forced out those words after she gave it some thought.

Henry's face grew cold in an instant. "Yvonne, so I'm just a reproduction tool to you!" 1

"No!" Yvonne was startled, she quickly explained herself, "I didn't mean it that way. What I’m trying to say..."

"Fine, I don't want to listen to you." Henry interrupted her and pursed his lips.

Yvonne opened her mouth and wanted to continue explaining. In the end, when she saw his expressionless face, she couldn't bring herself to say anything more.

She actually didn't want to say those words. She wanted to say to him, I love you, I want to live together with you.'

However, she didn't have the confidence. She was afraid that he wouldn't believe her and would take her feelings for granted so she changed her tone and answered him that way.

Who would have known that he'd still be offended?

Yvonne hammered her head in chagrin. She was really mad at herself. As the saying went, the more you say, the more mistakes you'll make!

Ding!

The elevator reached its destination.

Henry strode out of the elevator, and Yvonne followed closely behind him as he walked to his car.

Once they reached his car, she opened the door and entered the vehicle. While she secured her seatbelt, she secretly watched the man sitting beside her. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The man had the same stoic expression on his face which did not reveal any of his emotions.

However, Yvonne knew that he was definitely still angry with her.

"Henry..."

"Shut up!" Henry warned coldly.

Yvonne trembled and immediately kept quiet. She sat i n her seat obediently and didn’t dare to make a single sound.

They didn't speak a single word throughout the whole journey, and when they reached the villa, it was already seven.

Yvonne's stomach was aching from hunger. Luckily, Sue had already prepared dinner.

After dinner, Henry left her alone in the living room and went upstairs.

Yvonne pouted. "He's still angry..."

Sue overheard her and questioned her inquisitively," Miss Frey, did you quarrel with Mr. Lancaster again?"

"No.” She shook her head.

"Both of you didn't say a single word tonight." Sue looked upstairs.

Yvonne lowered her eyes regretfully. "I was acting like a fool and said some words which offended him.”

"What did you say?"

Yvonne bit her lips and didn’t answer.

She didn't have the courage to say those words to Sue.

When Sue noticed that she wasn't answering, she chuckled. "It's okay if you don’t want to talk about it. I'll go clean up the kitchen."

"Wait, Sue." Yvonne quickly stopped her.

Sue stopped. "Miss Frey, do you still need something?"

"Yes," Yvonne picked up the bag on the sofa. "I made Henry's clothes dirty. There are lots of coffee stains on them but I don't know how to deal with them. Sue, do you have any idea?”

"Let me see how bad the stains are first.” Sue took the bag from Yvonne and took out the clothes.

After examining the clothes, she contemplated for a few seconds. "It’s okay. It is not that bad."

"Does it mean the stains can be removed?" Yvonne looked at her enthusiastically.

"Yes. "Sue assured, "I'll wash them for you."

"No, you can’t!" Yvonne snatched the clothes back and held it in her arms. "I'm responsible for it so I'll wash them myself. Sue, you just have to tell me how."

When Sue saw how Yvonne was holding those clothes like they were some sort of treasure, she immediately gave a knowing smile. " Alright, alright. I'll tell you. Listen carefully. First, you have to soak it for half an hour in warm water..."

Sue told Yvonne the method to wash those clothes and Yvonne remembered the steps carefully.

When Sue returned to the kitchen, Yvonne ran to the laundry room immediately to execute those steps.

After she struggled for almost an hour, Henry's clothes were finally clean.

When Yvonne saw that his dress shirt return to its original white color, she felt a sense of pride.

Would Henry praise her if he saw it?

With that in mind, Yvonne couldn't help feeling a sense of anticipation.

She carefully set the clothes to dry. Then, she dried her hands and walked out of the laundry room.

When Sue saw her in the living room, she quickly beckoned to her, "Miss Frey, come over quickly. I need to take some measurements."

"Measurements?" Yvonned walked over, puzzled.

Sue took a measuring tape and started measuring. "

Yes. You need specifically tailored clothes to attend Lancaster's remembrance day. Since you don’t have one, I’m taking our measurements so that I have that arranged."

"I see." Yvonne stretched out her arms after she heard Sue’s explanation so that the woman could do her task more easily.

"I’m done." Sue finished the measurements and started writing them down on the notebook she prepared.

Yvonne shook her slightly sore arms. She walked over to the sofa and sat down to pour herself a glass of water. "By the way, Sue, I need to consult you on something. What do I have to do on the remembrance day?"
