All Chapters of Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“She knows.” Henry served a plate of food on the table.Yvonne began to pout, her tone became strange as she asked, “That means you often cooked for her in the past?”“No.” Henry turned to look at her. “I’ve never cooked for anyone else. You’re the first one.”“What?” Yvonne was startled. “I’m the first?”That would mean even the master had not tasted his cooking before?“That’s right, you’re the first one.” Henry turned his head back. “Didn’t I just say that as soon as I came back to take over the company, I neither had the time to cook, nor did I enjoy cooking.”“So why are you doing it now?” asked Yvonne curiously, her heart elated.She had not expected that even Jacqueline, his first love had not even tasted his cooking before.Did this mean she had won one over her?“Didn’t you say you were hungry?” replied Henry as he cracked two eggs into a bowl.Yvonne’s mouth slightly gaped open as she said, “So you’re cooking now solely because of this?”“Partially. I also wanted y

“Alright, I’m full now,” Yvonne said while rubbing her stomach. However, her eyes were still looking at the food on the table.Henry noticed her action and he found it cute.“Since you’re full, why are you still looking at the food?” he teased.Yvonne flushed when she got caught. “I...I didn’t.”Yvonne didn’t want to admit to that.Henry chuckled and didn’t expose her, “Was the meal that I made delicious?”“Yes, it’s very delicious.” Yvonne nodded and answered truthfully.His cooking skills may not be as good as international chefs, but for Yvonne, it was better than Sue’s.“Since it’s so delicious, what else do you want to eat for dinner tonight?” Henry asked her.“At night?” Yvonne was surprised for a moment. “Are you planning to stay for tonight?”Henry swirled his wine glass, then paused for a while. “Why? You want me to leave again?”“No…”They were considered to be in a romantic marriage now, so it didn’t seem right for her to ask him to leave. “Since that is not th

Henry felt Yvonne’s reaction. His eyes flashed and his action became gentler.A phone call suddenly rang at this moment, breaking the romance in the kitchen instantly.Yvonne immediately became sober and pushed him away. “Your phone.”Henry took out his phone unwillingly and cursed Joe fiercely in his heart.Why couldn’t he make this call earlier or later instead of right now?Joe wasn’t attentive at all. “Are you not going to answer?” Yvonne couldn’t help but remind the man who was staring at the phone.Henry closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and picked up the call in front of her.“What’s the matter?” he said in his cold voice.On the other side of the phone call, Joe was stunned. He didn’t understand what he had done that made Henry upset, but he didn’t think much about it. After clearing his mind, he said solemnly, “Mr. Lancaster, something happened at headquarters.”“Something happened?” Henry squinted his eyes.Joe nodded. “That’s right. Our headquar

Yvonne gently coughed. “It’s me.”“Yvonne?” asked the surprised LynetteYvonne nodded. “That’s me.”“Wow, you actually called me?” said Lynette excitedly.Yvonne raised an eyebrow. “Is it that bad for me to call you?”“What do you think? After you resigned and left, you changed your phone number and disappeared without a trace. I thought you didn’t want to be my friend anymore,” said Lynette begrudgingly.Yvonne rubbed her nose and said, “Alright, it’s my fault. I had intended to live in solitude, and that’s why I changed my number. But I was planning to call you once I settled down…”“So why are you calling me now?” interrupted Lynette.Yvonne sighed. “I’m back in the city.”“What? You’re back?” Lynette was surprised. “I thought you were going to stay in the village for a few months. Why’re you back so soon?”“My husband brought me back with him,” replied Yvonne as she massaged her temples.“Your husband?” Lynette squinted her eyes. “Hold on, didn’t you say you were going t

“Madam, the Freys have come to the mansion again, asking for you vehemently,” replied Sue in resignation. Yvonne frowned. “Is it my mom?”“Yes.” “What does she want now?” Yvonne asked again. “It seems like your brother has got a girlfriend, and they’re going to get married,” said Sue with uncertainty.Yvonne was surprised. “Girlfriend? Jason has a girlfriend?” “Your mom said so.”“Then where’s my mom now? Is she still there?” “Not anymore. She came to the mansion to meet you. I told her that you were out. She then asked me about your contact number, but I didn’t comply. She left afterward,” said Sue. Then she advised Yvonne, “Madam, let me tell you. Don’t go to the Freys. What if she wants to ask money from you again?”Yvonne thought that it was quite possible. “Alright, thank you, Sue.”“No problem.” After the call, Lynette looked at Yvonne. “Who is Sue?” “The housekeeper at my husband’s house,” said Yvonne as she put down the phone. Lynette raised her eyebrows. “

Yvonne sighed. She then bent down and lifted Henry’s hand lightly. She wanted to put his hand back on the bed.However, just when she put his hand on the bed, he woke up all of a sudden. His deep-set eyes seemed cold and ferocious. Yvonne was frightened, and she was stunned on the spot. At last, Henry recovered his senses after a few seconds. He put away his coldness and fierceness. “Did I scare you?” His voice was so hoarse that it was slightly unpleasant. His throat was extremely dry. Yvonne calmed herself down gradually. “No, I wasn’t scared. But just now you…” “I’m sorry. The things happening in the office have made me tense. I thought it was someone else.” Henry rubbed his temple and explained lightly. Yvonne shook her head. “It’s fine. I’ll go and get you a glass of water.”Then, she turned and left the room. After a few minutes, she returned to the room with a glass of yellowish water and handed it to him. “Here you are. It’s honey water, and it’ll help soothe yo

Yvonne shook her head and smiled. “Nothing. Just eat your breakfast.”She had no intention to answer that. Henry stared at her a few seconds and nodded slightly. He then spoke no more. After breakfast, Henry went to sit on the sofa and put on his tie. He asked suddenly, “Regarding the thing I asked you to consider before — what do you think about it?” “What are you talking about?” Yvonne was cleaning up the dishes. She became confused after hearing his question.Henry wore his tie nicely. Now he started to put on his cufflinks too. “It’s about you, resuming your work. If you want to resume your work, I can transfer you to headquarters. You can then work in the same department with Lynette. You can be a secretary too. What do you think?” Yvonne stopped her actions. “You still remember it.” “I’ve never forgotten about it.” Henry looked at her. Yvonne looked down slightly. “If I resume my work, will the others raise any opinions about it?”“Is that why you took such a long t

Yvonne touched her lips which were kissed by him. She blushed on the spot. She was stunned too. ‘He… He kissed me again!‘It was a goodbye kiss!’ Yvonne’s heartbeat quickened. She was surprised and overjoyed. It surprised her to see Henry act like that. He never did such a thing before.Now, he was not as cold and aloof as he used to be. He knew how to tease her now, hugging her and kissing her all the time. She was caught off guard every time. Thinking of that, Yvonne put down her hand and smiled sweetly. At that moment, the phone on the coffee table in the living room rang all of a sudden. She recovered herself and did not dwell on that for long. She went and answered the call.It was a call from Lynette. So she answered the phone and put it near her ear without any hesitation. “Hello, Lyn…” “Yvonne, something’s wrong.” Lynette sounded anxious.Yvonne became nervous too. “What’s the matter?” “It’s your mom and brother. They came to the company just now,” said Lyn

Mrs. Frey frowned in dissatisfaction. She wanted to vent her anger out on Yvonne, but she suppressed her urge when she thought about the fact that she still needed to rely on her daughter for money matters. She forced herself to reply patiently, “Yes, your brother’s girlfriend is pregnant. They’re about to get married, but we have no money for the wedding or buying a new house. You see…” Soon, Yvonne’s heart sank. “For the wedding and a new house?” “Yes.” Mrs. Frey nodded repeatedly.Yvonne’s hand trembled slightly as she held the phone in her hand. “Why are you asking me for such money? Jason is getting married. You’re his parents. If he doesn’t have any money, shouldn’t you be helping him with that? As his sister, I can certainly pay some of it, but I don’t have the obligation to help him with that. Do you understand that?” Mrs. Frey’s facial expression worsened. “What? So you’re not going to help. Is that it?” Yvonne lowered her eyes. “Mom, I have no money. How can I help h

Sue laughed earnestly, “Not necessarily, but sir does stay the night sometimes, just like last night. That’s why I packed him a change of clothes.”“Is that so?” replied Yvonne, but still she felt that something was off.But Sue’s explanation was logical.“It is,” nodded Sue. “Alright madam, I must be on my way. I’ll bring these ingredients to the kitchen while you put sir’s things in his room.”As she finished, she picked up the ingredients and walked off, leaving Yvonne alone with the luggage.Without a choice, Yvonne sighed and picked up the luggage as she was told.After she left the luggage in his room, Sue brought out a platter of fruits from the kitchen.When Sue saw her, she smiled at her and said, “Come madam, try some of these fruits. It was couriered to us today when the fruits had been picked this morning. Sir had asked me to let you have it specifically.”Yvonne walked over and picked up a strawberry, she then took a bite.Sue asked, “How does it taste?”“Very sw
