Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 249

"I'm sorry!" Henry apologized to her.

Yvonne was stunned. "Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden?"

"I figured something out.” Henry put his head near her neck.

Yvonne blinked her eyes. "So what does it have to do with your apology?"

"Nothing." Henry laughed in a deep voice. He did not plan to tell her the reason for his apology. He then nudged her neck slightly and changed the topic. "I’ll tell you some good news."

"What kind of good news?" Yvonne yawned.

She was suddenly awakened by him, so she was fully conscious yet.

"Dominic is returning soon," said Henry.

Yvonne widened her eyes. "Is he?”

"Yes.”

"Why is he returning from abroad? Didn't you go and ask him to move abroad purposely? How dare he come back here!” Yvonne was slightly puzzled.

Henry then told Yvonne the reason for Dominic's return.

Yvonne was silent for a few seconds after hearing that. "I see. But why did you say that it's good news?"

"How can I make him go to jail if he doesn't come back here?" Henry looked up at her. "The crime he committed is not enough for us to take him into custody across borders. So we have to make him return here if we want to send him to jail."

After hearing Henry’s explanation, Yvonne finally understood why he claimed that it was good news.

It was indeed good news. Yvonne became slightly eager too. "When will he be back?"

"Most probably this month.” Henry gave a rather uncertain answer.

But Yvonne was more than satisfied with it.

A month was certainly shorter than a few months.

Certainly, she hoped that Dominic could be sent to jail sooner.

"Henry, thank you." Yvonne thanked him.

Henry laughed in a deep voice. "You call my name again at last. Ever since you came back from the village, you never called me by my name. You only said my name when I forced you to do so in the village."

She still could not bring herself to trust him entirely.

But she soon started pouring her heart out for him slightly after hearing that Dominic would be returning

soon.

Her eyes fluttered, and she was about to say something else. But at that moment, her stomach growled all of a sudden.

She blushed, and she was slightly embarrassed. "This H

"Are you hungry?" Henry leaned his forehead against hers.

Yvonne could not move, so she replied that she was indeed hungry.

"Yes, you should be hungry by now after such a long time. What do you want to eat?" asked Henry.

Yvonne thought about it for a short while. At last, she replied, "Anything.”

His cooking skills were so much better than hers, and he could cook delicious food. So, she did not have to b e picky.

"Fine. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look.” After that, he got up, left the bedroom, and went toward the kitchen.

Yvonne could not help but smile faintly as she looked toward the bedroom door.

In the past, he always appeared cold and aloof, and he could not even bother to look at her. Who would have thought that a man like that would go and cook for her in person just because she was hungry?

She definitely wouldn’t have believed such a thing in the past.

So the change in Henry was rather drastic. She even began to doubt whether the current Henry was the true him and if he only pretended to be cold and aloof i n the past.

She could not be sure whether he was pretending in the past. But she could not bother to make a guess either. She then stretched her body and fished for her phone which was placed on the bedside cupboard.

"It’s half-past eight now. How late it is!" Yvonne muttered once before she put the blanket aside, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom for her bath.

After her bath, she walked out of the bathroom, only to realize that Henry was done cooking their dinner. He was now holding two big plates in his hands, leaving the kitchen. There was such a pleasant smell.

Henry was rather surprised by her reply. He raised his eyebrows, "I thought that you would...”

"Did you think that I'd be upset about it?" Yvonne smiled at him.

Henry slightly lifted his chin reservedly.

Yvonne took a bite and replied, "I wouldn't, given that I know perfectly well what kind of a person Jason is. He'd be fired sooner or later. Besides, he must have done something given that you decided to fire him

now."

"Do you trust me so much?" Henry raised his eyebrows.

Yvonne nodded. "I know you, and you won't fire anyone without any reason."

Henry felt good and smirked. "That's right. I won't fire anybody without a valid reason. The reason I fired him is because he’s been..."

Henry told Yvonne what he heard from Joe.

After Yvonne listened to him, she sighed. "Then it serves him right. I didn’t promise to recommend a job for him at first, but you hired him anyway..."

"He's your younger brother." Henry opened his thin lips slightly.

At first, he gave Jason a job for her sake.

Yvonne certainly understood what he meant. She smiled bitterly. "That's right. He's my younger brother. But I won’t treat him as my younger brother anymore from now on."

That morning, Jason slapped her. It completely crushed any feeling she ever felt for him.

"You don't want to treat him as your brother." Henry raised his eyebrows slightly. "What do you mean by that?"

"It means that I’ll treat him as a stranger from now o n," Yvonne explained.

Henry supported his head with both his hands. "Are

you able to do that?"

Yvonne lowered her eyelids. "I don't know, but I'll try m y best."

"I hope so." Henry seemed not to have full trust in her, but he did not point that out openly for fear that she might feel defeated. So he changed to another question. "Do you still think that you were wrong regarding what happened in the morning?"
