All Chapters of Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Henry’s heart sank a little at the mention of Yvonne’s name but said nothing.It was Sue who was standing quietly by the side who broke the silence. “Madam has left.”“Left? Where did she go?” Shane asked hurriedly.Henry’s eyes instantly darkened when he saw how anxious Shane was acting.“The madam…” Sue cast a cautious glance in Henry’s direction, then replied softly, “The madam has left the estate and wishes to divorce sir.”“No wonder she isn’t here. So are you two divorced already?” Shane was unexpectedly not at all surprised that Yvonne was going to divorce Henry.Henry narrowed his eyes at him. “It seems that you already knew she was going to divorce me.”“Yes.” Shane shrugged and smiled. “She told me that a long time ago, probably when she was taken to the hospital by you.”Anger welled up in Henry’s heart when he heard that. “Then why didn’t you tell me?!”“Why should I tell you? I promised her that I’d keep this a secret for her. Besides, a divorce is the most approp

Shane took a step back then leaned against the wall and replied lazily, “You once said that you and Yvonne are from two different worlds. She is neither your ideal wife nor someone who can reach your standards, and that is why you have never treated her well. Yet unbeknownst to you, you have been moved by her. This is why you refuse to admit the truth.”“Very funny,” Henry snorted disdainfully. “You keep insisting that I’m in love with Yvonne Frey, but what about Jackie? Have I moved on from her?”Shane raised his eyebrow. “Haven’t you realized it yet? You’re no longer in love with Jacqueline. You are only nice to her because you care about her, but not necessarily out of love. Anyway, I have observed you a few times. There isn’t even an ounce of love in your eyes when you look at her.”Henry wasn’t convinced. “Even if I no longer have any feelings for Jackie, I still refuse to believe that I’ve fallen in love with Yvonne Frey.”“You really don’t give up, huh?” Shane shook his head

Yvonne’s eyes were a little red and her hand trembled with the phone in her grip. “If...if he really loves me, why would he hurt me so much?”Shane was rendered a little speechless by her question. It took him a while to find his voice again, “Because even he himself did not realize that he is in love with you, so…”“I don’t want to hear that!” Yvonne’s voice choked with emotions. “Even if he doesn’t love me, he shouldn’t have treated me this way! He shouldn’t have sacrificed me and the child in my womb to save his first love! I will never forgive him!”The sacrifice of her child was a sorrow that would forever shackle her.Even if Henry wasn’t the direct cause of the child's death, Dominic had done all those horrible things to her and her unborn baby because he was aware of the significance of the Conrads and Jacqueline in Henry’s eyes.So even if Henry wasn’t the murderer, he was one of the culprits. And she would never forgive him for that!Shane also knew how much pain losing

It was only then that Shane realized that he had a slip of tongue and revealed something he shouldn’t have.He scratched his head with a rather troubled look on his face and had no choice but to continue the conversation. “Actually, I discovered a secret behind your identity…”“My identity?” Yvonne exclaimed, “Is there something wrong?”“No, you’re fine. There are just many strange things revolving around it. I have been investigating for nearly three months, but haven’t been making progress at all,” Shane replied vaguely.Yvonne grew even more anxious. “If nothing is wrong, then what is so strange about it?”“Yvonne, I can’t tell you for the time being. Can I tell you after I have thoroughly investigated it? If I tell you now, I’m afraid it will stir up some unwanted troubles.” Shane’s tone became serious.He really couldn’t afford to reveal the truth about her true identity at this point in time.If she found out that she wasn’t the daughter of the Freys, she would definitely

Buzz… Buzz…The phone was still vibrating on the bedside table like it wouldn’t stop until he picked it up.Henry’s patience was running thin by the noise it was making and he finally brought the phone to his ear. “Who is it?”The person on the other end of the line fell silent.The frown on Henry’s face deepened as his annoyance grew. Just when he was about to hang up, the other person finally spoke up.“Henry, it’s me…” Jacqueline’s aggrieved voice rang out.Henry’s eyes darkened. “Jackie?”“Yeah.” Jacqueline nodded and smiled wryly. “You deleted my number? If not, you would have recognized me.”“No, I didn’t.” Henry closed his eyes in exhaustion. “I didn’t look at the screen so I didn’t realize it was you.”“Really?”“Yeah.”Jacqueline smiled, “I see, I thought you deleted my number.”Henry didn’t continue the conversation and instead asked indifferently, “Do you need anything?”“Not really. Just missing you a little and I wanted to hear your voice,” Jacqueline replied

“I’ve been telling you that I won’t agree to the divorce!” Henry’s face turned sour.Sue chuckled, "That's great! Then what are you waiting for, sir? You should chase after madam. She loves you very much. As long as you’re sincere, she’ll definitely forgive you and come back.”Henry lowered his eyes and didn’t say anything.Chase after Yvonne?"Sir?" Sue waved her hands in front of Henry.Henry snapped out of his thoughts. "What is it?""Sir, don’t you want to do that?" Sue was worried.She had always hoped that sir and madam could get back together rather than being apart from each other.Although sir was at fault, she believed that madam would be happy in the future as long as sir changed for the better.Henry snorted, “I don’t even know where she is now. How do I chase after...bring her back?”He had never chased after anyone before. Not even Jacqueline.Even the mention of chasing after someone felt awkward to him."It's not that difficult to find madam," Sue smiled.H

No one answered, but the knocking continued.The constant knocking gave Yvonne a headache. She hammered her head in chagrin and simply put on her clothes. Then, she got out of her bed to open the door.As soon as the door opened, she was hugged tightly before she could even recognize the guest."Madam, I’ve missed you so much," Sue said excitedly.Yvonne was stunned and quickly pushed her away. She looked at her in disbelief. "S-Sue?""It's me, madam," Sue smiled and nodded.Yvonne was surprised and she gulped audibly, "Why are you here?""Sir brought me here," Sue said while pointing to the back.Yvonne immediately had a bad feeling when she saw Sue’s action. “Is Henry here too?”"Yes." Sue nodded.Yvonne went past Sue right away and looked behind her.As expected, a tall figure standing not far away was looking towards her direction indifferently.Yvonne was shocked and she stood there with her indescribable feelings. There was definitely a surprise, but even more shock.

Yvonne bit her lip and reluctantly nodded her head.Henry had not signed the divorce papers yet, hence they were still married officially.No matter how much she wanted to deny it, Henry was still legally her husband. Henry was elated as his lips curled upwards when he saw that Yvonne had not called his bluff.Sue was so happy to see Yvonne that she shouted, “Madam!”“So the two of you are still married,” said the chief. He scanned Henry from head to toe. Henry reached out his hand to the chief. “Good day to you Chief Frey, my name is Henry Lancaster.”“Nice to meet you Henry.” The chief reached out and shook his hand. “I had heard that Yvonne was married, but I didn’t think it was a fine gentleman like you Henry.”“You’re too kind, chief.” Henry pulled away his hand with a straight face.The chief chuckled. “I’m not praising you Henry, I’m merely stating the facts. The Lancasters are quite wealthy, right?”“Only some small assets,” replied Henry reservedly. Yvonne rolled

Yvonne felt uneasy. “What did Chief Frey say?”“He asked me to take care of you since you are in bad health, hence I cannot leave now!” said Henry as he sat down.Yvonne stared at him and mocked, “And who was the one who caused this mess?”Henry was startled as he heard this and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, it won’t happen again…”“Will there be a next time for us?” said Yvonne as she looked at him with a sad expression. “Do you know how bad my health is currently? I fall sick even when the slightest wind blows, or feel cold throughout my entire body at best. No matter how I try to sleep at night, I can’t seem to feel warm enough. To be honest, I don’t even know how long I have left to live!”The more Henry heard, the more his heart ached.He never expected that she would be in such bad health.“Madam, is this true?” Sue held Yvonne’s cold hands and felt even sadder for her. “Sir, madam’s hands are very cold. Here, feel them.”She held Yvonne’s hands in front of Henry.

“This used to be my grandparents’ room,” answered Yvonne honestly.Henry pursed his lips. “Where is your room then?”“You intend to stay in my room?” Yvonne looked at him with a surprised expression.Henry raised his chin, his intentions clear.“No!” Yvonne rejected him upright.Henry slightly raised his eyebrow. “Why not? You’re my wife, it’s completely normal for us to live together in the same room.”Yvonne glared at him and said, “No means no.”“Are you sure?” said Henry as he nudged Yvonne with his arms folded.Yvonne nodded. “I’m very sure!”Henry sighed as he picked up his luggage and walked to the room next door.There were only two rooms in the whole house — the previous room was her grandparents’ room, so obviously the room next door was Yvonne’s room.Yvonne was startled when she saw Henry moving towards her room. She grabbed his arm and said, “Wait, what are you doing?”“What else can I do? I’m going to drop my things in the room of course.” Henry glanced at Yvo
