All Chapters of Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“Yes!” Henry’s single word reply came resolutely.Shane was surprised. “You’re? Still?”“Of course. At the very least, I want to know who her parents are and if she was abandoned. If she wasn’t and her parents are looking for her too, then I’ll reveal identity and let her reunite with them,” Henry said with a low tone.Shane’s reply was mocking. “But I think your wish will fall through.”“Hmm?” Henry narrowed his eyes. “Why do you say so?”There was a reflective glare on Shane’s glasses as if he had a knowing premonition. He answered, “No reason, I’m just guessing.”“Is it… I thought you knew who her parents were,” Henry scoffed.Shane averted his eyes without replying. He actually knew but he could not disclose it now.“Alright.” Henry rubbed his throbbing temples. “Help me with this and I owe you a favor.”“A favor?” Shane arched a brow. “So she’s forgiven you?”Henry’s gaze grew dimmer. “Not yet but it’s better than before.”Before this, she ignored him completely. Now, s

Henry’s glower was massive. He could guess why Yvonne Frey went to sleep with Sue. It was plain as day. She did not want to sleep with him.“Yes, of course!” Henry spat from his gritted teeth, his tone deep and low.“Sir, you may go over and call madam now.” Sue pointed at the next room door.Henry made a wave. “No hurry. I’ll go over after she’s deep asleep.”“Huh?” Sue was confused.Henry did not explain further, making his instruction. “Come for me again after she’s deep asleep.”“Okay,” Sue complied.Henry then closed the door and went back to his room. Around half an hour later, Sue knocked on his door again. Going over with her, he saw that Yvonne was truly asleep.He watched her for a while from the side of the bed and told Sue, “You can sleep next door.”Sue finally understood why he said to get him after Yvonne slept. This was what he was thinking.“Sure. Have a good rest, sir.” Sue had a hand over her chuckle as she made her way out.Henry sat down slowly on the ed

“About your feelings for madam, of course. You were indifferent about her a month ago, Mr. Lancaster, but now you’re so…” Joe wore a frown, suddenly at a loss for words to describe Henry’s current state.Henry rested his head on his palm, his gaze fleeting. “I didn’t realize my feelings for her in the past. Now that I do, of course I won’t treat her like I used to.”“You mean, you’re going to become an actual couple with madam, Mr. Lancaster?”“Mm.”Joe stroked his nose with a hand. “But Mr. Lancaster, madam doesn’t look like she’s planning to forgive you. I’m afraid your wish won’t come true.”“It’s okay.” Henry looked down tenderly at the woman soundly sleeping on his lap. “I’ll ask for her forgiveness with my actions.”“I see. I wish you the best of luck and success then, Mr. Lancaster,” said Joe.This was his first time seeing Mr. Lancaster treat a woman so gently. It was plain that he put his heart in it.“Thank you,” Henry thanked him, a rare occurrence, as he wore a smil

“Nothing.” Yvonne played with her fingers and answered him casually.Henry lifted her chin. “Look into my eyes.”Yvonne looked at him then. Henry asked her again, “Tell me, what were you so nervous about just now?” “I told you. It’s nothing.” Yvonne shoved his hand away directly and stepped aside, putting some distance between them.Henry was slightly annoyed by her impatience. He approached her until she was forced to stay at the corner of the elevator. After that, he put one of his hands on the wall of the elevator and locked her between his arms. Yvonne blinked her eyes in astonishment and looked at him, her heartbeat quickening.Did he just lean into her, blocking her way? “Yvonne, are you sure that you’re not going to tell me?” Henry looked down at her, his eyes deep. Yvonne’s eyes fluttered as she became guilty. She wanted to avert her gaze.But he seemed to have foreseen what she was about to do. He put his forehead against hers directly, making her unable to aver

Certainly, a father understood his son well. Although the master was not Henry’s father, he was his grandfather, and he was also the one who understood Henry the most. So, he could guess at the reason very soon.Henry was not surprised to see the master react so fast. He replied calmly, “It’s not considered a threat.”He just provided Yvonne a choice. He asked her to choose between the village and her own freedom, and she chose the latter. Actually, he knew that what he did was slightly cunning, but he could not care so much about that as long as she agreed to come back with him.Even though she chose the village in the end, he was able to bring her back too. “Is it indeed not a threat?” The master’s facial expression worsened. “It seems like you indeed threatened her. Didn’t you?” “Yes,” Henry admitted.The master widened his eyes angrily. “Henry, what the hell do you want to do? You know very well that she’s disappointed in you. But you don’t want a divorce, and you eve

But it was late now, so she decided to return it to him the next time she saw him.She knew that it was useless for her to keep them with her since it was impossible for them to go through with the divorce now. It was impossible for them to get it done, and at least the hope was slim. It would only happen one day if he agreed to the divorce. Thinking about that, Yvonne sighed. She put the document folder on the sofa in the living room. Then, she took her pajamas and went for a bath.That night, she had a good rest. It might be because of the atmosphere there. When she woke up, it was almost noon the following day. She rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room. She was slightly stunned when she heard the sound of someone typing on the keyboard coming from the living room. She then looked toward the living room. At that moment, she saw a tall figure sitting on the sofa, fixing his eyes at the laptop and facing away from her. Yvonne became wide awake now. She widened her eyes i

Yvonne felt that it was slightly confusing. “Assume that they are my family members—my father and younger sister?” “Yes.” Shane nodded. Yvonne smiled, “Why do you have such strange assumptions?” “Don’t ask me why. Just answer me.” Shane looked at her.She pursed her lips. “I won’t forgive them.”“Why?” Shane asked her.Yvonne’s facial expression worsened. “Just because they’re my family members doesn’t mean that it’s even harder for me to forgive them. If Dominic is my father, why didn’t he take care of me and raise me up? He even snatched away my bone marrow for his other daughter and caused my miscarriage. How would a father like that not be labelled as my enemy? I won’t even bother to talk about Jacqueline.” “I understand what you mean now.” Shane nudged his glasses slightly. Yvonne narrowed her eyes and approached him. “You haven’t told me yet. Why did you have such groundless assumptions?” Shane leaned back slightly and avoided her gaze. He pretended to be carefree

“Am I being unreasonable?” Henry frowned. Yvonne took a deep breath. “Yes. For me, what you did just now was unreasonable.” Henry was infuriated by what she said. He pursed his thin lips coldly. “Yvonne, you said that I was being unreasonable. Is it wrong for me to protect my own wife? Is it right if I let my wife be touched by other men?” Yvonne noticed that he was angry now. She became anxious. “That’s not what I meant. I just feel that you overreacted just now. You don’t want other men to touch me. I understand that. But it’s just a trivial affair given the kind of physical contact I had with Shane just now. Why did you have to…”“A trivial affair?” Henry’s voice became cold. “Yvonne, do you think that it was a trivial affair?” “Isn’t it? He just patted my head with a folder. He didn’t even use his hand. Why do you have to care so much about that?” Yvonne said. Henry was completely infuriated by her now. He was soon engulfed in deep coldness. “Why did I care so much abou

“I just feel like I’m being shackled. You’re forbidding me from coming into contact with other men, yet the world is so big. Are you expecting me to stay away from every single man?” Yvonne’s voice sounded like she was exhausted.Henry fell silent.Obviously, he had realized that he had erred in his methods.After a while, he patted Yvonne’s shoulder and said, “Alright, I take back what I said. However, you must maintain your distance with Elliot Taylor — he must have his motives for coming near you.”“You don’t have to tell me, I can see it with my own eyes.” Yvonne shrugged her shoulder to remove his hand.Henry very naturally placed his hand back into his pocket. “As for Shane, he might be your doctor, but other than during checkups, you should maintain your distance with him as well. He…”“He what?” Yvonne was slightly curious.A dark light flashed through his eyes as he said, “It’s nothing.”There was no need for him to tell her since Shane had already promised he would n

“I don’t think that’s a long time,” replied Yvonne as she waved her hand.Henry pursed his lips, “How is that not long?”Yvonne shook her head and said, “It’s not. Plus, you said you love me, so I’ll also take this time to test you continuously to see how much you mean your words. If I find that you are lying to me at any point, I’ll be able to pull out immediately.”She chuckled.Henry raised her chin and approached closer. “What you mean to say is that you would like to try to date me again?”A hint of surprise flashed through her eyes.Although she did not know how he came to that conclusion, she had no intention of resisting either.She had desperately wished to be able to enjoy a sweet and memorable relationship before being married, but that wish was dashed when she met him.Since he had said that now, she might as well play along with his tune.Thinking of this, she sighed a breath of relief and mustered up the courage to say, “Are you willing to then?”“I could give i
