CHAPTER 219 I JUST APPROVE OF YOU AS MY GRANDDAUGHTER-IN-LAW
Certainly, a father understood his son well. Although the master was not Henry's father, he was his grandfather, and he was also the one who understood Henry the most.
So, he could guess at the reason very soon.
Henry was not surprised to see the master react so fast. He replied calmly, "It's not considered a threat."
He just provided Yvonne a choice.
He asked her to choose between the village and her own freedom, and she chose the latter.
Actually, he knew that what he did was slightly cunning, but he could not care so much about that as long as she agreed to come back with him.
Even though she chose the village in the end, he was able to bring her back too.
"Is it indeed not a threat?" The master's facial expression worsened. "It seems like you indeed threatened her. Didn't you?"
"Yes,” Henry admitted.
The master widened his eyes angrily. "Henry, what the hell do you want to do? You know very well that she’s disappointed in you. But you don't want a divorce, and you even went after her to bring her back.
So what happens after you bring her back? Do you want to treat her coldly like you always have?" exclusive content.
"No, I won't." Henry pursed his thin lips. "I won't anymore."
"Oh?" The master was slightly stunned. "What? Have you finally come to your senses?"
"Yes, I have come to my senses now. I love her, so I don’t want a divorce. I brought her back this time around, and I'll beg for her forgiveness. I'll be her true husband," said Henry.
"Wait a minute." The master was slightly dumbfounded. He thought that he had heard Henry wrong. "What did you say just now? You said that you love Yvonne. Is that so?"
"Yes." Henry nodded.
The master was astonished. "Aren't you still thinking about that woman from the Conrads? Why do you fall i n love with Yvonne all of a sudden?"
Henry was silent for a few seconds before he replied," Actually, I don't know about the answer to that question either. I wasn't even aware of my feelings toward Yvonne until I was reminded by Sue and Shane. If not, I wouldn’t have even noticed it. As for Jackie, it's in the past now."
"I see." The master touched his white beard slightly, not believing what he said entirely. "I don't even know whether what you said is true or not. But let me ask you one thing first. Are you sure that you won’t treat her like you used to after you get her back here?" "Yes, I’m sure of that." Henry promised solemnly.
Finally, the master's facial expression became better. He chuckled, "Fine, I'll trust you one more time. Since you've made your mind, I certainly wish that you'll be able to reconcile with Yvonne and get back together with her since she's the granddaughter-in-law who has my approval."
"I will."
"That's good. I'll then wait for the news when she forgives you. When you get back together with each other, do treat her well. Don't you ever do any villainous things like that anymore. If not, I'll definitely break one of your legs. You won't get away with it easily this time around with just a few whips from me. Do you hear me?" the master warned him coldly. 1
Henry replied immediately, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I won’t let you down this time around.”
"Good. That's more like it." The master nodded in satisfaction. After that, he asked Henry for the first time about the wounds on his back. "How are the wounds on your back?"
Henry touched his back. "Not bad."
"It seems like you're recovering just fine. That’s enough. I’ve asked you what I wanted to ask. Now, please tell Yvonne something on my behalf."
"What is that?"
The master said gently, "Just tell her that I only approve of her as my granddaughter-in-law after all this while, and I welcome her home."
"Alright. I'll tell her that." Henry gave his promise.
After the call, he put away his phone and returned to the apartment.
Yvonne walked out of the washroom at that moment. She asked him casually when she saw him, "Have you finished your call?"
"Yes, Grandpa knows that you’re back. He called me just to ask me about it," said Henry as he took his seat.
Yvonne was slightly stunned. "It was a call from Grandpa?"
"Yes."
Yvonne lowered her head. "How is he recently?"
"He's always healthy." Henry crossed his legs.
Hearing that, Yvonne became relieved. "That's good. What did Grandpa say?”
"He asked me to tell you something on his behalf." Henry looked at her.
Yvonne blinked her eyes. "Did he have anything to say to me? What was it?"
Henry smirked and answered, "Grandpa said you're the only granddaughter-in-law he's approved of, and h
e welcomes you home with me."
Yvonne was stunned when she heard that. She was touched. "Grandpa..."
When she left, the master said something to her. She thought that she was quite touched by the master when he claimed that she could remarry Henry again anytime in the future.
Surprisingly, what touched her the most was the fact that he only approved of her as his granddaughter-in-law. So it meant that the master was reluctant to let any other woman be his granddaughter-in-law. It was such a great acknowledgement. How could she ever deserve that?
Thinking about that, Yvonne became teary, and she sniffed her nose slightly. She was about to burst into tears.
Noticing her teary eyes, Henry stretched his hand out and tapped her forehead slightly. "Are you touched by that?"
Yvonne sneered softly and averted her gaze. "Even if I'm touched, it's because of Grandpa, and it has nothing to do with you."
"I know." Henry nodded. "But Grandpa still hopes that we can get back together with each other. So what do you say to that?"
Yvonne looked down and made no reply.
Henry knew why she refused to answer that. He was slightly guilty, so he did not force an answer from her. He changed the topic then. "What do you think about the apartment after you took a look around?”
"Very good." Yvonne nodded.
Henry looked at the time. "Since you think it’s good here, just stay here. It’s getting late. Are you hungry?”
Yvonne touched her stomach. "A little bit."
"Let’s go and eat then. It's my treat." Henry grabbed the coat from the sofa.
Yvonne did not reject his offer either. She followed him out of the apartment.
It was two hours later after the meal. It was now five o'clock in the evening.
Yvonne was leaning against the door of the kitchen and looking at the man who was boiling the water now. She could not help but ask, "Aren't you going home?"
"Do you want me to leave now?" Henry raised his eyebrows.
Yvonne stuck out her tongue at him. "This is your apartment. What right do I have to ask you to leave? But I said that I want to stay here alone, so..."
"Alright. I'll leave after I have this cup of tea." Henry took up the teapot and poured the hot water into the cup.
Yvonne was slightly surprised to see him agreeing to that without any hesitation. But she recovered herself, turned, and left the kitchen.
Henry did keep his promise. He left directly after he had that cup of tea.
But before he left, he asked her to go to the hospital with him to do a body check-up the following day.
Yvonne knew that her body health worsened each and every day. She indeed needed that body check-up, so she did not reject his offer. She promised to go with him.
After Henry left, Yvonne closed the door. She stretched her body slightly before she started unpacking her things.
She did not have many things with her, and she had only one suitcase. There was not much in the suitcase too. She tidied everything up after a while.
But when she was about to close the suitcase, she saw a document folder in one of the pockets in the suitcase.
She took the folder out and opened it. She then realized that there were the land titles of two house properties and a bank card which held one million and five hundred thousand dollars in the bank account.
It was the compensation the master gave her for the divorce. When she left the villa that day, she put it into her suitcase casually. She had forgotten about it after s o many days. If she did not discover it coincidentally, she might've never remembered them.
"If I knew earlier on, I would have returned it to Henry just now." Yvonne muttered as she closed the folder again.
