CHAPTER 139 HE IS ANGRY

Henry got up. "I'm fine. Come, let’s have dinner now."

Clearly, he did not want to talk about it.

Yvonne was slightly disappointed. She forced a smile and followed closely behind him. "Henry, you don't have to be like this. If something's wrong, you can tell me about it. If you keep all of those things in your heart, you might suffer miserably."

Henry stopped walking all of a sudden. His facial expression worsened. "I told you. Nothing happened. Don't say things like this anymore!" This belongs to .

He sounded slightly harsh.

Yvonne was shocked, and her face paled.

She did not know why he was infuriated all of a sudden.

She thought about it for a while. It seemed like she had said nothing wrong.

Yvonne felt like she was wronged, but she could only keep quiet as she saw how Henry reacted. She did not dare to speak anymore.

They ate their meals in silence. After that, Henry went upstairs.

Yvonne sat down on the sofa in the living room, daydreaming. Sue served her a glass of milk. "Madam,

is Mr. Lancaster feeling angry again?"

"Yes, I infuriated him." Yvonne received the milk from her and smiled bitterly.

Sue was puzzled. "How did you infuriate him?"

Yvonne shook her head and told Sue what happened just now.

After Sue listened to her, she was still confused." Madam, you said nothing strange. Why is he angry?"

"I’m upset because I don’t even know why. I feel like it’s becoming harder to guess his mood and thoughts now. Besides, recently I always feel that he seems to have something to talk to me about, but he always shrinks from it.” Yvonne touched her chin and analyzed the situation.

Sue nodded. ”1 cannot seem to see through his mood now. Madam, you don't know what happened that day. The day before yesterday, I delivered tea to him. D o you know what I overheard?"

Yvonne tilted her head to the side. "What?"

"I heard him talking to someone on the phone. He even told the person on the other end of the phone that he would find a chance to discuss it with you." Sue replied.

"Discuss it with me?” Yvonne pointed at herself.

Sue replied. "Yes, that's right. Mr. Lancaster said so." "Then did you hear what he’s going to discuss with m e?" "Not really. He stopped talking the minute he saw me.” Sue shrugged her shoulders apologetically.

Yvonne appeared disappointed. "I see. Then do you know who he was talking with on the phone at the time?"

"I don't know about that either,” Sue replied.

Yvonne sighed. "How mysterious! It seems like this is indeed the thing which Henry wants to tell me about, but he's avoiding the topic. I just don't know what it i s."

"Madam, you don't have to be nervous. Since he said that he wants to discuss it with you, he certainly can't avoid it for long. He'll discuss it with you sooner or later." Sue consoled her.

Yvonne pursed her lips. "I hope so. Sue, I’m going upstairs now.”

"Go ahead. Sleep early." Sue took the empty glass from her and smiled as she nodded.

Yvonne went upstairs. She threw a glance at the study before she opened the door to the bedroom and entered it.

She was slightly exhausted, and she fell asleep after a short while.

She was sleeping soundly when Henry returned to the bedroom.

He stood beside the bed and looked at her condescendingly. His eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

It had been many days now. He still had not broken the news to her that Jackie was going to need another surgery.

He could not bring himself to reveal it to her.

Every time he was about to tell her the truth, he would be hurt by her seemingly naive and clear eyes. Then, h e would find himself unable to do such a vicious thing. The most sarcastic thing was, he was suffering from a tinge of excruciating pain when he thought about the consequences if she donated her bone marrow to Jackie again. Her body condition would deteriorate vigorously.

Henry sat down at the side of the bed, stretched his hand out, and smoothed her hair back which fell loosely on her face. Her delicate face was exposed to him entirely.

He looked at her for a very long time. Only then did he get up to go to the bathroom.

After a few days, it was Yvonne’s birthday. It was a weekend too. Surprisingly, she woke up early in the morning.

Sue was slightly surprised to see her up so early in the morning. "Madam, why don't you sleep in a bit?" "I couldn't," Yvonne replied with a smile.

She was slightly excited since the previous night.

It was because not only was it her birthday that day, she wanted to break the news of her pregnancy to Henry too.

She did not even know what his response would be if he learned about the news. Would he be surprised or frightened? 1

When she thought about that, she touched her belly.

Sue thought that she was hungry. So she led her to the dining room immediately. "Madam, I've prepared the plum porridge you like the most as your breakfast."

"Good." Yvonne's eyes brightened.

Since her body showed signs of pregnancy, she enjoyed eating sour food.

Sue even joked that she was going to have a baby son.

But she was fine with it whether she had a son or a daughter. She would love the child regardless of gender just because they were her children. She just did not know whether Henry favored a son or

a daughter better though...

She ate her breakfast with mixed thoughts. Then, she went upstairs and made a call.

It was her birthday that day. It was impossible for her t o spend it with Henry only. She still needed to inform the master about it.

The master was quite gratified when he learned that she was going to spend her birthday with Henry.

At first, Yvonne planned to invite the master over for a meal, but the master wanted to let them have their moment. So he rejected her invitation.

She actually planned to tell the master about the news that he was going to be a great-grandfather soon. But after some consideration, she decided to tell the master about it after her birthday.

She felt that she should announce the news to the master with Henry. It would be much better that way.

She hung up her phone with a faint smile. Then, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.

"Sue!" She called after Sue as she went downstairs.

Sue walked out of the laundry room. "What's wrong, madam?"

"Have you seen Henry this morning?" Yvonne asked her.

She woke up quite early in the morning, but she soon realized that Henry woke up earlier than her.

Moreover, it was the weekend. He did not have to go to the company, but he was not at the villa either.

Where did he go?

Sue wiped her hands dry on her apron. "Yes, I saw him. He went out early in the morning." "Did he? Where did he go?" Yvonne frowned.

Sue shook her head. "I don't know about that. Why don't you call him and ask him about it?"

"Fine.” Yvonne forced a smile. Although she seemed to agree with Sue's suggestion, she did not take out her phone to call Henry.

Sue saw that she did not react, so she became puzzled. "Madam, aren't you going to call him?"

"I think it’s better if I don’t call him. What if he does not pick up my phone? I think it’s better to wait for him to come home," Yvonne said as she sat down on the sofa.

Sue did not persuade her anymore. She returned to the laundry room and continued her work.

Yvonne took up the remote control and switched on the TV. She watched TV absentmindedly and turned t o look at the door from time to time.

She did not know how much time had passed. She yawned as she started to feel sleepy.

At that moment, she heard some noise at the door all o f a sudden.

Yvonne quickly straightened her back and stood up. She fixed her eyes at the door.

The door was opened. Henry's tall figure was seen as h e entered the villa.

Yvonne was delighted. She put down the remote control and took the slippers from the shoe rack for him.

"Henry, you're home." Yvonne put the slippers in front of him.

Henry frowned and made no reply. He changed into the slippers and handed a large box to her.

Yvonne was shocked by the pink box which appeared all of a sudden before her. Now only she realized that h e was holding that in his hand.

"This..." Yvonne received the box from him in confusion.

The box was exquisite, and it was not light either. It was sealed tightly. She took a few glances at it, but she still could not guess the contents.

"Didn't you ask me to buy you a cake a few days ago?" Henry walked past her and entered the villa. 1

Yvonne was stunned. She followed closely behind him in a daze. "So you went out just to buy a cake for me?"
