Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 499 Don't Need A Father

Theo stopped playing with his puzzle and looked back at her, but quickly turned his head back to continue the puzzle.

Yvonne knew that Theo meant that it was okay for her to go in, so she smiled and walked into the room.

As she got to Theo's side, she sat down and looked at the puzzle he had put together.

Shane bought it for him. It was a Mona Lisa portrait with a thousand pieces, and the difficulty level was high. Average adults would struggle to play it too, as it would take a long time to even put together one small part.

Theo had already assembled a small part, and the packaging next to it showed that the puzzle had just been opened.

It was obvious that the puzzle was not too difficult for Theo since he was able to put together a small part in such a short time.

"Theo is really smart." Yvonne stretched out her hand and rubbed Theo's head.

Theo lowered his head, and his pale little ears were slightly red.

Yvonne was surprised that Theo would feel shy!

And his shyness showed.

Therefore, it meant that Theo's condition was indeed getting better.

As Yvonne thought about this, she got excited and scooped Theo into her arms. "Theo, Mommy's really happy!"

Theo blinked as if he didn’t understand what she was happy about.

Yvonne kissed him on the forehead and didn't explain either. She then gently let him go.

"Theo, can Mommy ask you a question?" Yvonne looked at her son who was in front of her.

Theo looked at her too as if he was waiting for her to speak.

Yvonne took a deep breath, and while holding Theo's face, she asked, "Does Theo want Daddy?"

Theo’s hazel eyes revealed a trace of confusion, as if h e didn't understand why she would ask this.

Yvonne gently rubbed Theo's tender face with her thumb. "Mommy never thought about whether Theo needed a dad or not, but your godfather reminded me, so I shall ask you, do you want a dad?"

Theo tilted his head, then touched her pocket.

Yvonne didn't know what Theo was trying to do, so she observed his actions quietly.

Theo took Yvonne's cell phone out of her pocket and handed it to her, motioning for her to unlock it.

Yvonne did what he asked and unlocked it.

Theo took the phone back again, clicked on the photo album, and found a photo in it.

The man in the photo had a cold expression and a pair of emotionless hazel pupils.

And the person in the photo was none other than Henry.

She had gotten the photo on the internet last year specifically to tell Theo that this man was his father.

After that, she kept the photo in her album without deleting it, but she didn't expect Theo to find it now.

"Theo, why did you tap on his photo?" Yvonne asked.

Theo pointed to Henry in the photo and shook his head.

Yvonne took a bold guess. "Theo doesn't need this man as your father?"

Theo nodded.

This man was bad. His uncle told him that the man had forgotten his mother.

He didn't like that father.

Yvonne felt a lump in her throat.

Theo's answer was as she had expected. She took the phone and locked it. "Well, since Theo doesn't need this dad, then we don't need him. But you need a father to lead you in the future. So do you want Daddy

Shane to be your father?"

Yvonne tried to ask.

Theo blinked, but he did not nod or shook his head—h e just stared at her.

Yvonne thought his answer was no, so she dropped the topic.

She knew that if she talked too much, it would only cause her child to overreact.

Moreover, if Theo didn't want to, she would be happier instead.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After all, she was afraid that if Theo nodded, then she would have to be with Shane for Theo's sake. Shane was the only man Theo would accept other than the Smith family. It was normal if Theo wanted him to be his father. 2

Fortunately, Theo didn't agree.

"Okay, it's late. You should go to bed." Yvonne gathered her thoughts, picked up Theo from the ground, and walked to the bed.

It was almost eleven after she put Theo to sleep.

Yvonne massaged her stiff neck and went to the bathroom with her pajamas, ready to wash up and go t 0 bed.

The next day, Shane came over as usual.

When he came, he greeted Yvonne naturally as if nothing had happened last night.

Yvonne didn't know how to face him, but seeing him like that, she suddenly felt relieved.

He probably pretended like nothing happened because he didn't want to put pressure on her.

Since that was the case, she should just do nothing and make things clear by rejecting his confession later.

Just like that, neither of them mentioned what happened last night. After breakfast, they took Theo to the kindergarten.

Somehow, Yvonne felt that Theo's attitude towards Shane was a bit strange and she wondered if it was an illusion.

However, she couldn't tell why it was strange, so she did not think much about it.

When they sent Theo to the kindergarten, Yvonne also parted with Shane and drove to the Lancaster Group alone.

As soon as she arrived at the company, she saw Joe standing at the entrance of the hall as if he was waiting for someone.

She didn't know that Joe was waiting for her until her car came to a stop and Joe came towards her.

"Miss Smith." Joe opened the door for Yvonne like a gentleman.

Yvonne got out of the car and took off the sunglasses o n her face as she looked at him. "Mr. Woods, were you waiting for me?"

"Yes, Mr. Lancaster heard that you were coming to the meeting, so he specifically asked me to wait downstairs so I can take you to the meeting room," Joe replied.

Yvonne touched her chin. "I see. It seems like you guys really value me."

Joe laughed but didn't say anything. He was thinking i n his heart, 'This is more than just valuing someone!’

Mr. Lancaster had never been so caring and kind to anyone but his ex-wife.

Not only did he choose the purse himself, but he also personally asked Joe to go downstairs to greet her. Mr. Lancaster seemed to really care for Miss Smith because of her face.

Maybe Mr. Lancaster still loved his wife subconsciously, but he still did not know because he still could not remember the memories of his wife.

Once he regained his memories, Mr. Lancaster's feelings for his wife would definitely rekindle, but what would it do? Madam had passed away six years ago. The only thing he was worried about

now was that Mr. Lancaster would fall in love with Miss Smith even before regaining his memories of his late wife.

As for Jacqueline, he never thought that Mr. Lancaster would stay with that woman for so long.

As Joe thought about this, he pushed his glasses and h e was ready to bring Yvonne in. But when he saw her, he saw that she was looking for something.

Joe was a little curious. "Miss Smith, what are you looking at?"

Yvonne's eyes flashed. "It's nothing."

After she said that, she raised her chin slightly. After casting a provoking look towards another direction, she signalled Joe to leave.

Joe looked blankly in the direction she just looked at. There was only a black car there and nothing else.

What was Miss Smith looking at?

He could not figure it out, so he ignored it and led Yvonne to the meeting room.

The meeting room was already full of people. As soon a s Yvonne entered, she attracted everybody's attention. 3

After taking a look at the senior members of the Lancaster Group, Yvonne smiled and nodded. She then looked at the man in charge and stretched out her hand. "Mr. Lancaster, we meet again!"
