Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 479 Almost Late

Yvonne held the phone tightly with both hands, because she was too excited and she couldn’t even speak right. "Brother...1..."

"What's the matter? Were you bullied?" Sam's expression became serious when he heard Yvonne's quavering voice.

Yvonne shook her head. "No, no one bullied me. I'm just really happy."

"Happy?" Sam raised his eyebrows and he was intrigued. "What made you so happy?"

It better not be related to Henry.

"It's Theo..." Yvonne looked at the bedroom door."

Theo called me ‘Mum’."

"What?" On the other end of the phone, Sam was stunned. It took him a while to find his voice, "He called you ’Mom’?"

"Mhm!" Yvonne nodded repeatedly.

Sam was pleasantly surprised. "So, Theo can talk?"

"No, he can't speak yet. He didn't call me ‘Mom’ directly. Instead, he wrote the word 'Mom’ on a piece o f paper. He still couldn't talk and he knew this, so that was why he called me in such a way. Brother, I'm so happy!"

"Yes." Sam sighed, "This is indeed worthy of joy.

Although the little guy still can't speak, being able to express his feelings for you in writing shows that Theo's autism is gradually getting better. I believe that if this continues, Theo will be able to

speak very soon."

"Yeah, I think so too." Yvonne agreed too.

"Where's Theo?" Sam asked.

Yvonne said with a tender expression, "He's asleep."

"Ah, I wanted to say hello to him." Sam felt a little let down.

Yvonne smiled, "Tomorrow then. I’ll let Theo have a video call with you tomorrow."

"Okay, that's a promise. Mom and Dad miss Theo too. Remember to take a picture of Theo's note and send it t o me. I'll show it to Mom and Dad. They’re going to be very happy to see it too," Sam said.

Yvonne had no objections, and she immediately agreed.

Ever since their grandmother passed away two years ago, there had never been a happy event in the Smith family.

Theo's improvement would probably make them happy.

"By the way, did you see him?" Sam asked again.

It was obvious who he was talking about.

Yvonne was silent for a while before she replied, "I did"

"So soon?" Sam was surprised.

Yvonne flipped her wavy hair and said calmly, "Yes, I didn't expect to see him today either since I just came back."

"Did he recognize you?" Sam was a little worried.

Yvonne lay on the sofa sluggishly and replied, "He seemed to be a little suspicious, but after reading my information on the internet, he probably believes that I'm not Yvonne.”

"I see." Sam nodded. "During your trip back to Canada this time, even though I don't know how you're going t o get revenge against them, and I don't care either, but promise me that you'll take good care of yourself.

Don't be as naive as you were six years ago."

Yvonne could feel the warmth in her heart. "Okay, I know. I'm no longer the same person I used to be."

"Just know that if you have any difficulties, tell me or Mom or Dad in time, and we'll do our best to help you. Don't forget, you're part of the Smith family, and we got your back!" Sam told her again.

Yvonne's eyes were a little teary, and she sniffled as she was touched by Sam's words. "I won’t forget that. But brother, instead of worrying about me, you might a s well worry about yourself. Mom and Dad are looking forward to having grandkids."

"You..."

"Okay, brother, I've got to go soon. Say hi to Mom and Dad for me, goodbye!" Yvonne didn't even give him a chance to refute her. She quickly interrupted him and hung up with a smile, i

She disliked sappy, emotional situations, so she ended the call early.

Or else, she might actually be moved to tears if he went on.

The older Sam got, the more naggy he was. His temperament had also changed a lot in the past few years, from being calm and gentle to being unpredictable and playful!

She shook her head with a smile as she picked up the note Theo had written to her and placed it gently on the coffee table. After slowly smoothing it with her palm, she picked up the phone to take a photo so she could send it to Sam.

After sending it, she stared at her phone screen for two minutes. She didn't see any reply from Sam, so she knew that he probably wouldn't reply.

Maybe he was sulking over the fact that she just cut him off and hung up.

"He's getting more and more childish." Yvonne chuckled as she thought about Sam and took off her phone case.

She then picked up the note on the coffee table, carefully folded it in half, and placed it on the back of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, she put the phone case back on, hiding the note in between her phone and the phone case.

That way, she didn’t have to worry about losing the note.

It was the most beautiful 'love letter’ from Theo, and she must not lose it!

After doing that, Yvonne put down her phone and got u p to walk towards the bedroom. She made sure that Theo was asleep before she picked up a bottle of red wine and a wine glass, and went to the balcony to have a celebratory drink for Theo's improvement.

She was so happy that she drank half a bottle of red wine. When she felt a little tipsy, she stumbled back to her bedroom.

The next day, she was woken up by a phone call.

She opened her eyes in a daze, stretched her arm to grab the phone on the bedside table, and put it directly to her ear without even looking at it. "Who’s this?" NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"It's me, Shane." Shane's energetic voice came from the other end of the phone, which was a stark contrast to Yvonne's hoarse and sleepy voice.

Yvonne grabbed her hair and sat up. "It's you. It’s still s o early-what's the matter?"

"Nothing much, just calling to wake you up, send Theo to kindergarten, and then send you to my hospital," Shane commented, i

After hearing what Shane said, Yvonne was a little bit dumbfounded. "Didn’t we talk about this last night? I can send Theo to the kindergarten by myself and I’ll g o to the hospital after sending Theo off. You didn’t ha veto make a trip just for us." i

"I originally thought so too. However, I think you might still be jet lagged since you just returned to Canada. What if you can't wake up in time? And look, I guessed it right. It’s almost eight o'clock, and you haven't gotten up yet."

"Eight o'clock?" Yvonne was taken aback for a moment, and quickly took the phone from her ear and put it in front of her eyes. It really was eight o'clock already.

Why didn't the alarm clock go off?

"What's the matter?" Shane asked anxiously when he noticed that the person on the other end on the phone was freaking out.

Yvonne rubbed her forehead. "Nothing, I was just wondering why the alarm clock didn’t go off. Thank goodness you called, or else Theo might be late to kindergarten on the first day of my return."

"Haha, it's okay. Open the door please, I'm right outside your suite." Shane smiled.

Yvonne yawned as she got out of bed and walked towards the living room.

The door opened and Shane walked in wearing casual clothes. "Where's Theo?"

"He's probably still asleep. You can have a seat first, I'll wake him up." Yvonne got a glass of water for him, turned around, and walked into another bedroom.

Although Theo was only five years old, he was already very independent. Since two years ago, he had started sleeping in a room by himself.

Yvonne would only sleep with Theo occasionally when they were taking a nap.

Usually, Theo would sleep by himself.

Yvonne gently opened the door of Theo's room, thinking that Theo was still asleep. But as soon as she walked into the room, she saw Theo was already dressed neatly and he was sitting on the sofa while playing with his Rubik's Cube.

Yvonne suddenly felt a little ashamed because when her son was already awake, she was still sleeping up until a moment ago.

"Theo, when did you wake up? Why didn't you call Mommy?" Yvonne walked over and brushed Theo’s hair.
