All Chapters of Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Henry’s expression tightened and he shouted when the car rode off, “Yvonne Frey!”However, all he heard was the car honk.“Your husband is calling out to you again.” Elliot’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch when he looked at the man slowly disappearing from his rearview mirror as he drove.Yvonne craned her neck to look for Henry after Elliot said that, but she was too late. There was nothing in the rearview mirror except for an empty road.“Did he really call out to me just now?” She was a little suspicious.Elliot nodded. “Yes, I saw him. Do you want to go back to him?”“No.” Yvonne retracted her neck and shook her head gently.Elliot shot a quick glance at her. “What’s wrong? It feels like you’ve suddenly lost interest in Mr. Lancaster. Did something happen?”“Nothing.” Yvonne turned her head to the window next to her, staring at the scenery outside in a daze.Elliot twitched his eyelids. “Really? But you don’t look good now. Look at how thin you are.”Yvonne did not answer.Elliot s

Elliot smiled as he explained to her, “Tony loves it when we do this, it’s part of his pleasures at work.” “Really now…” giggled Yvonne.‘That’s quite a fetish he’s got there.’“Why hello Mr. Taylor, long time no see.” A pretentious male voice suddenly came from above.Yvonne gathered her thoughts and looked in the direction where the voice came from — it was a long-haired man who was very femininely dressed and had his orchid finger raised as he walked down the stairs towards them.Yvonne was shocked when she saw the man.“He...he’s a drag queen?”“Tony, calm yourself, you’re scaring my partner,” said Elliot as he held Yvonne’s shoulder, his tone slightly discontent with Tony’s behavior.“Am I not calm?” Tony said as he rolled his eyes. He turned to look at Yvonne and stared at her with a face full of contempt. “Mr. Taylor, this is your partner?”“Is there a problem?” answered Elliot with a charming smile.Tony gulped, “Of course there is, and it’s absurd. How could your taste in wom

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. “Come 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

Henry was stunned.He wanted to say that he was different from her. However, he could not vocalize the words, he just couldn’t say it out loud.Yvonne gently peeled one of her eyes open. She was roughly guessing what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. Then, she said coldly, “Mr. Lancaster, I think you just don’t realize that you’re a jerk.”It was silly for her to still love this man who was such a jerk to her.Even though she loved him, there was no way she could love him wholeheartedly like before.Otherwise, she would feel sorry for her child who had only lived for two months.It was Henry's first time hearing someone calling him a jerk and most surprisingly, it came from Yvonne.Of course, he knew exactly what a jerk was.But he never thought that he would be labeled as a jerk someday.Was he a jerk?Henry pursed his thin lips and gave it a thought. Combined with what Sue and Elliot said, it seemed like he really was a jerk.Just the thought of this made Henry’s com

“Grandpa, I…” Yvonne started speaking and her eyes grew red.The old man jumped as she cried profusely. “What’s wrong with you, why are you crying all of a sudden? I haven’t mistreated you, have I?”“I know, I just… it’s just…”“What is it? Go on, don’t leave me hanging here!” said the old man as he anxiously stamped his cane on the floor.The girl’s cries made the old man grow even more anxious by the minute and it was making him go nuts.Yvonne wiped her nose and said, “I’m sorry for my behavior, I should’ve held back my tears.”“It’s fine, now get on with what you were about to say,” said the old man as he helplessly gestured to her to speak. With a nod, Yvonne wiped away her tears and took a deep breath as if to muster up the courage. Suddenly, she knelt down in front of the old man on her knees.Both the old man and Frederick who was standing behind him were completely stunned.“What is the meaning of this, little girl?” The old man hurriedly tried to pull her up.Yvonne was tota

Frederick waved at the file that he was holding, “Master had me investigate what happened.”Yvonne was startled, “I had almost forgotten. There is nothing Grandpa can’t find out if he wants to...”“That’s why you should’ve told him the truth when you had the chance earlier,” said Frederick, his eyes showed pity towards Yvonne.Yvonne sniffled, “I couldn’t tell him, I was scared.”Henry would’ve pinned her as the prime suspect if the old man found out what had happened. She feared Henry would hate her for it.It would be no surprise for Henry to hate her even more if the old man decided to deal with Jacqueline.3 years ago, he had already cruelly abandoned her to live alone in the house for 3 years all because he had to wed her.Now, if she told the old man the truth about what had happened and the old man were to take it all out on Jacqueline, there was no telling what Henry would do to her. That’s why she couldn’t tell the old man what happened.Frederick could see right through what

This time, he didn’t just whip Henry once.The cracking sound of the whip could be heard in the study room.Even Frederick who was guarding outside the door was frightened by the sound of it. “Is master Lancaster trying to kill the young master?”Three years ago, Master Lancaster whipped the young master too for what Jacqueline did to him, but it was only a few whips.This time, there were more than that.Although Frederick didn’t really count how many of them, he could tell there were more than a dozen whips.“Henry, you still refuse to say it?” Finally, the old man was tired of the whipping. He stopped and panted heavily, looking at the man on the ground with a great deal of pain.There was no other word than ‘wretched’ to describe Henry who was lying on the ground now.His clothes were torn off due to the whipping and his entire back was covered with blood.His body twitched because of extreme pain. His eyes were closed tightly, his entire hair was soaked wet with sweat, an

“I know. Let me handle this,” Henry said weakly. The master stared at him. “Can you handle this? Are you able to do so given how you feel for that woman from the Conrads?”Henry’s eyes fluttered slightly. “Yes, I might be unable to do so because of Jackie, but I won’t disappoint you.” After the master heard that, he touched his mustache and fell into his thoughts for a few seconds. “Fine, I’ll let you handle this. If I’m dissatisfied with how you deal with that, I’ll take over from you. Don’t you regret it then. Henry, I want you to remember this. Don’t think that you can trifle with me since I’m rather old now.” “I know, Grandpa.” Henry lowered his eyes and responded in a soft voice. “Frederick!” The master shouted toward the study. Frederick opened the door and walked in. The first thing he smelled was the strong scent of blood. He held his breath slightly and looked toward Henry. At that moment, he drew in a cold breath.The master seemed to be too harsh and vigorous.

‘He’s seriously injured. Will something happen to him if we don’t send him to the hospital?’ While Yvonne was having anxious thoughts, the phone in her pocket rang all of a sudden. Yvonne suppressed her worries and glanced at Henry once. She put the blanket over him, then she took out the phone and went to the balcony. It was a call from the master, and she did not dare to waste any more time. She put the phone near her ear immediately and answered the call. “Grandpa.” “Yvonne, is Henry home yet?” She soon heard the master’s friendly voice. Yvonne replied, “Yes, he’s home. Do you want to talk to him?” “No, it’s fine. If I’m not wrong, he’s still unconscious.” The master chuckled. He seemed not to care about Henry at all. Yvonne took pity on Henry inwardly. Then she bit her lips and asked, “Grandpa, did you call me because you have something to talk to me about?” “Yes. I want to apologize to you.” “Apologize?” Yvonne tilted her head. The master sighed. “For my ungrat

Yvonne retreated subconsciously. “You’re awake.” Henry turned around slowly and looked at her. His voice was harsh and unpleasant. “It’s you.”“Are you quite disappointed because it’s me?” Yvonne lowered her eyes and sneered softly. Henry frowned. “What do you mean by that?” “Nothing. Are you thirsty?” Yvonne asked.Henry moved slightly. Consequently, his facial expression changed drastically. His pale face became much paler now, and his forehead was oozing with sweat. Seeing that, Yvonne became nervous too. She quickly pressed his shoulders. “Don’t move! Your back is injured!” Henry did not expect to see her caring for him all of a sudden. He was stunned. He then stared at her until she became quite uneasy. “What are you looking at?” Yvonne frowned and asked. Henry’s eyes fluttered and averted his gaze. “Nothing. Can you please let go of your hands now?” Yvonne realized now that she was still pressing his shoulders using her hands. She blushed and removed her hands. T
