Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 433

"It's Mr. Lancaster!" Sam grabbed the phone to show Yvonne.

Yvonne looked at it and it was Henry's number.

She wondered, "Why would he call you?"

Could it be that he found out she was here?

"I don't know." Sam took the phone back and thought for a moment before he said, "It’s probably about the call yesterday. Mr. Lancaster probably saw the missed call from me last night, so he called back. Should I pick up?"

Yvonne nodded, "Of course!"

She wanted to hear Henry's voice.

"Okay then." Sam agreed, and soon the phone was connected. The speaker was turned on so that Yvonne could listen.

"It's me!" Henry's voice sounded from the phone.

Yvonne frowned subconsciously.

What happened?

Why was his voice so much colder than before? It made people shiver just by hearing it.

"Mr. Lancaster, good afternoon," Sam greeted Henry.

Henry didn't greet him back but he asked, "You have

anything you’d like to tell me?"

Sam knew that he was asking about the phone call last night.

Sam looked at Yvonne and said to Henry, "It's no big deal. I'm going back to Canada, so before I return, I want to know the specific details of the collaboration between our companies." 1

Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that he would tell him about her.

"The specific details of our project?" Henry raised his eyebrow. "Well, it's all in the monthly inventory report which I believe your assistant has surely sent to you. S o Mr. Smith, tell me what’s the real intention behind calling?"

Sam was not surprised that Henry saw right through his lie. He said with a calm smile on his face, "That was really my intention."

"Hmm?" Henry raised his mouth mockingly because h e obviously did not believe him. "No one in their right mind would ask about the progress of a project in the middle of the night."

"Well, I was trying to avoid jet lag after returning to Canada, so I adjusted my schedule a few hours ahead. That was why I called you in the middle of the night. I'm really sorry," Sam apologized.

Yvonne opened her mouth wide and looked at him like a stranger, full of awe.

She never expected that this polite and noble gentleman was actually just one side of his personality, and the other side turned out to be a scheming liar.

Sure enough... One should not judge a book by its cover!

"Really? Since Mr. Smith is dealing with jet lag, then deal with it properly and don't disturb the people around you over little things." Henry was obviously displeased with Sam. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

When Sue saw that his expression was angry, she poured him a glass of water and asked, "Sir, did someone offend you?"

"An insignificant person," Henry replied in a low voice as he threw his phone aside and rubbed his forehead that was still aching.

Sue did not ask further when she heard that, so she closed her mouth.

Henry finished drinking the water and put the glass down. "Have those people outside left?"

"They were kicked out by management, but I don't think they’re going to give up that easily. They were even yelling about calling the police and sending you t o jail!" Sue said, dissatisfied.

Early in the morning, the Freys came over and started causing trouble. They were crying and demanding

In Sue's eyes, that meant it was true.

When she saw that he had changed his shoes and was ready to go out, Sue grabbed him as she wanted to stop him from leaving.

"Sir, don’t go see the Conrads. You should go to the hospital with me and see Dr. Summers to do a check o n your head and see what's going on. You've been having a headache since yesterday and you still have i t today. This is obviously not right." Sue persuaded him anxiously.

Henry frowned and pulled his hand away forcefully." It's okay, it’s just a little bit painful but I’m fine. Sue, move aside."

"No!" Sue stood in front of the door to stop him from leaving. She looked at him with a stern face. "Sir, you must know that many serious illnesses stem from small problems that are not taken seriously. You can’t just ignore it.”

Of course Henry knew that Sue was worried about him, but he really didn't think his headache and dizziness were a big deal.

In his opinion, it was caused by the increased intracranial pressure yesterday, and it would get better in a few days.

"Okay Sue, I’m not going to change my mind so you'd better let me go!" Henry stared at Sue coldly, and his tone was as deep as a black hole.

Sue's expression was stiff and she seemed a little scared. She finally took a step to the side.

Henry stopped wasting time so he quickly opened the door and left.

Sue sighed sadly as she watched his silhouette driving away.

After what happened yesterday and no news about Yvonne, Henry had been acting like a completely different person. He had become colder than before, and he had become more intimidating. Even when he fell ill, he didn't care.

As Sue thought about this, she shook her head helplessly and took her mobile phone out to call Joe. She told him to watch out for Henry at all times and to send him to the hospital immediately if he had a headache.

Henry didn't know that Sue made those arrangements for him after he left the villa, and he drove all the way t o the Conrads.

Joe was already waiting at the door and when he saw Henry's car coming, he walked over and opened the door for him.

Henry got out of the car and walked straight to the villa. "Did Jacqueline tell you why she wanted to see m e?"
