Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 518 The Coffee Accident

Yvonne lowered her eyelids and covered the sarcasm i n her eyes with a smile. "Since you said that you wanted Miss Conrad to bear the consequences of what she did, why didn't you let Miss Conrad go to jail instead of bailing her out? Miss Conrad evades taxes and the amount of money is huge. She should go to jail, shouldn't she?"

Henry always felt that her words contained a different meaning, but he couldn't figure it out. He pursed his lips and replied, "A child can’t live without a mother."

"That’s why you bailed Miss Conrad out?" Yvonne narrowed her eyes slightly.

Henry adjusted his sitting posture. "You can say that."

Yvonne lowered her head and said with profound meaning, "You love your daughter very much."

Henry looked down. "Because she was a great comfort."

Anna was about the same age as the child in Yvonne's stomach. He loved Anna because he treated her as the child who did not make it to this world.

But recently, his feelings for Anna faded a lot and he wasn't as fond of her like before.

The biggest reason for this was that Anna was too stubborn. The other reason was that he was selfish

and he suddenly didn’t want to spoil her anymore.

He didn’t know why he had such thoughts.

"A great comfort?” Yvonne didn't understand.

Henry seemed to want to explain in detail what he meant to her. He stood up with his hands crossed. " Let's go. I'll take you to the factory to see the car modeling.”

Yvonne reluctantly twitched the corner of her mouth and agreed. "Okay.”

Two hours after they saw the car modeling, Yvonne returned to the Lancaster Group with Henry.

Joe stood outside the office, waiting. He was shocked when he saw Yvonne. "Miss Smith."

Yvonne smiled at him. "Mr. Woods.”

This smile made Henry feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He didn’t like her smiling so warmly at other men. 2

Henry asked Joe coldly, “What's the matter?"

Joe noticed that Henry was dissatisfied with him and his eyes were a little dazed. He didn't understand what he had done, which made him dissatisfied.

However, Joe didn't think much about it. He quickly gathered his thoughts and answered, "Something happened. I delivered the message that you wanted m e to tell Jacqueline. She's very unhappy now and wants to abolish those contracts."

Henry hummed coldly, "She was the one who signed the contracts at the beginning and now she wants to abolish them. It’s impossible. I don't care about her anymore. When those parents can't get her to refund their money, they'll go to the police, and naturally, she won’t make any more trouble."

Yvonne asked curiously, "Well, what are you guys talking about?"

What contracts?

Jacqueline signed a contract with Henry?

Henry heard Yvonne’s question, his thin lips moved." Sorry, this is a family matter. I’m sorry I can't answer."

Yvonne waved her hand. "It’s fine. Since it's your family business, you shouldn't say it."

Henry said, "Let's go. Aren't we going to discuss the automobile production quantity?"

"Yup.” Yvonne nodded and then walked into his office.

Henry didn't go in immediately, but he told Joe, "Go and bring two cups of coffee in."

"Okay." Joe took his order.

Henry entered the office.

Joe came in with the coffee very quickly. Yvonne thanked him, took a sip from one of the cups, and frowned.

Henry saw it and put down the pen in his hand."

What’s wrong?"

Yvonne put down her coffee and said, "It's too sweet."

Henry glanced at Joe and said, "Change it to another cup."

"On it." Joe picked up the coffee that Yvonne drank.

Yvonne told him, "I want to drink the original."

Joe was surprised. "Miss Smith, you don't mind the bitterness?"

Yvonne smiled and said, "No matter how bitter the coffee is, it can't beat the bitterness in my heart. I've tasted the bitterest taste in the world."

She pointed to her chest. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Joe nodded knowingly and went to make a new cup of coffee.

Henry looked at Yvonne and said, "The bitterness you mentioned, is what your enemies did to you before?"

Yvonne was slightly surprised. "Not bad, you actually got it right all at once."

Henry said quietly, "It’s not that difficult. You're the eldest lady of the Smith family. You couldn't bear the hardships since you were young. Then the only hardship you've ever experienced is what your enemies brought to you."

Yvonne chuckled and took out a box of ladies' cigarettes from her bag. "Is smoking allowed here?"

Henry raised his eyebrows slightly. "You smoke too?”

"Yeah, occasionally, but not much." Yvonne shook out a cigarette.

Seeing that she was about to put it in her mouth, Henry had a touch of discomfort in his eyes and stopped her with a deep voice, "You can’t smoke here."

Yvonne was stunned. "But you have an ashtray here."

"It's just for decoration,” Henry lied lightly, and he didn't feel ashamed at all.

Yvonne smiled lowly, "Then, Mr. Lancaster, can you tell me what’s the matter with the cigarette butts in this decorative ashtray?"

Henry glanced at them with his calm face. "This is my office. I don’t like it when others smoke in my office.”

His domination seemed to have stunned Yvonne.

After looking at him for a long time, she put the cigarette back into the cigarette box and put it away boringly. "Okay then. I won't smoke. I can drink coffee, right, Mr. Lancaster?"

She picked up the coffee that Joe had remade and took a sip.

"Yeah,” Henry responded with satisfaction and said," Smoking is unhealthy for women. You shouldn't smoke.”

In short, he didn't like her smoking.

He also subconsciously felt that she shouldn't smoke.

Yvonne was amused by Henry's words. "I didn't know that Mr. Lancaster was quite concerned about others."

Henry answered, "I only care about you.”

Yvonne spat out the coffee.

Henry was sitting opposite her. He didn't expect that she would suddenly spill the coffee, so he wasn't prepared. The coffee was all over him. His face was covered with coffee and it was jet-black, making his face look very funny.

Yvonne couldn't help but laugh.

Her laughter reached Henry's ears and made his entire face gloomy. With the coffee stains on his face, he was almost black.

The coffee dripped down his face, then dropped down his chin on his suit coat and white shirt, smearing it.

Upon seeing this, Yvonne quickly refrained from laughing, took out a few tissues, went forward to wipe his face, and apologized at the same time, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but it's the words that you just said. I couldn't help it. Are you okay? The coffee didn't seep into your eyes, right?"

He didn’t know if it was because of her strength or she was too nervous. His face felt a little painful when she wiped it. He felt that his skin would be wiped off. He couldn't help but raise his hand and ask her not to wipe it.

But her arm blocked his view. He only wanted to grab the tissue away from her. Unexpectedly, when he went to take the tissue, her hand suddenly moved to his hand, which made him subconsciously grab it.

A big warm hand suddenly grabbed Yvonne’s hand. She stopped and looked down at the hand holding hers. "You..."

Henry also realized that he had grabbed the wrong one. His expression froze for a moment. He quickly released his hand and said, "Sorry, I grabbed the wrong one.”

There was a gleam in Yvonne's eyes. "It’s okay. You wanted to grab the tissue in my hand?”

Henry nodded gently. "Yeah, I'll do it myself.”

"Alright." Yvonne readily stuffed the tissue into his hand and took a step back.

The refreshing scent went away, and Henry showed a little bit of reluctance in his heart. However, he concealed it so well that no one could see it.

He stood up and wiped his hair with a tissue. Yvonne stood opposite him and watched. After a moment, she suddenly said, "Henry, you just said that you only care about me. Are you serious?"
