CHAPTER 252 A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR HENRY

The thing she wanted to buy was Henry's birthday gift.

His birthday was next month. So it would be nice if she prepared his birthday gift now.

"Do you promise to come?" Lynette asked her.

Yvonne nodded. "I promise to go with you. Where are you now? I'll be right there."

She got up and walked toward the bedroom.

"I'm at the South Granville Shopping District," said Lynette immediately, telling Yvonne her location.

"Fine. I'll be right there." Content is © by .

After hanging up the phone, Yvonne did not put away her phone immediately. She looked up her contact list and found the driver’s contact number which she saved the day before.

This was the first time she had her own driver. For a moment, she became quite nervous on the phone.

However, that driver sounded rather old. He sounded like he was almost the same age as Sue. The way he talked was rather gentle too, so it soothed her anxiety.

After the call, the driver was soon on his way to the apartment. Without wasting any time, she soon went t o change her clothes and put on her makeup.

When she was done, the driver reached the apartment.

Yvonne opened the door and got into the car. She then told the driver where she was heading.

The driver nodded and started the car.

An hour later, she reached the South Granville Shopping District.

As soon as she got out of the car, Lynette came out of nowhere and patted her shoulder. "Yvonne, here you are finally."

Yvonne was frightened. She patted her chest in annoyance. "Where the hell did you come from?"

"I've been waiting for you there." Lynette pointed to a coffee shop beside them.

Yvonne understood it now. "No wonder you saw me the minute I got out of the car."

"Exactly." Lynette lifted her chin smugly. She then looked at the driver beside them curiously. "Yvonne, this is..."

"He's Luke." Yvonne introduced him.

Luke smiled politely at Lynette. "Miss, nice to meet you. I'm madam's driver."

"Driver?" Lynette screamed in shock. "Yvonne, you’ve improved. Now you even have a driver. Previously, you even needed to hail for a taxi whenever you went out."

"Things have changed." Yvonne smiled casually and said to Luke, "Luke, you may leave now, and you don't

have to wait for me here."

"Alright." Luke nodded. He then got into the car and left.

Seeing the car disappear before her, Lynette still had not come back to her senses. "Yvonne, I'm now very curious as to what your husband's job is.”

"He's just doing ordinary business." Yvonne's eyes fluttered as she said so.

Henry was indeed a businessman. Certainly, he did nothing but business.

"Don't try to fool me." Lynette rolled her eyes. "Just ordinary business. How could he befriend Mr.

Lancaster if he's only a regular businessman? How could he easily contact a doctor as famous as that?"

Yvonne scratched her head and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Lynette smiled slyly. "I just want to ask whether your husband's family is much wealthier than the

Lancasters or the other way around."

Yvonne's lips twitched slightly. "I think it’s almost the same."

"Oh my god! That is the most prestigious wealthy family!" Lynette gaped.

Yvonne smiled awkwardly, but she remained quiet.

The Lancasters were indeed amongst the most prestigious wealthy families. There were a lot of

families who tried to fawn on them.

"Yvonne, why are you so lucky?" Lynette held her hand in envy.

Yvonne's smile fainted slightly. "Lucky?”

"Yes, you were born into an ordinary family. Now you even managed to be married into a wealthy family. You're definitely lucky. Didn’t you see how many women from the entertainment circle failed to do so?”

"Is that so...” Yvonne pursed her lips, and she seemed t o be filled with a tinge of sadness.

She might be lucky. If not, she wouldn’t have been able to marry Henry. But she could not be considered lucky from what she had experienced.

She had lost a healthy body and her baby. Yvonne was not lucky but pathetic instead.

If she had another chance to start all over again, she did not even know whether she would participate in the bride selection to be Henry's wife.

"Yvonne, what are you thinking about now?" Lynette waved her hands before her. "You didn’t even respond to me after I called you several times.”

"Nothing. I was daydreaming. Why did you call me?" Yvonne put away her thoughts and broke into a smile again.

Lynette approached her and said mysteriously, "I want to ask you if there is any single rich youth in your husband's circle of friends. Let's see if I can get myself one of those." "Lyn!" Yvonne’s facial expression worsened. She said solemnly, "You want to be married into a rich family?"

"It's because I see that you're..."

"You see that I'm having quite a good life. Is that what you think?" Yvonne interrupted her.

Noticing that Yvonne was slightly angry, Lynette became tense. "Yvonne, I'm just joking. If you don’t want me to marry into a rich family, then I’ll not do that. You don’t have to be like this."

"Lyn." Yvonne sighed. "You misunderstood me. It’s not that I don't want you to be married into a rich family. It's just that the rich and prestigious families are not a s simple as you think. They won't ever accept a girl who comes from an ordinary family. I'm only a rare case. I only married my husband because of an accident that year."

"What kind of accident was that?" Lynette became curious.

Yvonne shook her head. "I'm sorry, Lyn. I can't tell you that. It's just that girls like us are unsuited to marry into rich families. When you marry one, you’ll know then that you're not of the same world as them. You'll not be happy. Just look at what happened to me in the past."

"In the past?" Lynette was puzzled. "But from what I see, you're leading quite a good life."

"That's because I always tell you only the good stuff. I never tell you about the bad ones. Do you know that m y husband ignored me for three whole years after our marriage? We finally got together with much difficulty, but he had some other motives in mind at that moment.”

"Some other motives?" Lynette was confused.

Yvonne replied, "He wanted my bone marrow to go and save his first love. It happened the first time I applied for a leave. You asked me whether I was sick, and I told you that I went and had an appendectomy. But it was not like that. I went and donated my bone marrow to another woman.”

"D*mn it!” Lynette was shocked. "The reason turns out to be like this. He wanted your bone marrow to save his first love. How on earth could he do such a thing? Then what about your baby? How did you lose your baby? After that incident, I don't think that you slipped and miscarried."

"I didn't slip or fall down. I lost my baby saving his first love again.” Yvonne touched her belly, and she sounded deeply grief-stricken.

Lynette could not recover herself for a long while. It was such a great shock. She felt like the way she looked at things changed drastically. "Oh gosh! It's so terrible! How could your husband abandon your child for his first love? Is he even human? Yvonne, it's right that you want a divorce. But why didn't you go through with the divorce now?"

Speaking of that, Lynette stamped her feet in anger. At the same time, her thought of marrying a rich family disappeared right there and then.

If the rich and prestigious families acted like that, wanting her to donate her organ or bone marrow, she would rather be an ordinary person for the rest of her life.

"Actually, it's not like he abandoned our child. It was not his fault for losing the baby. It's..."

"Who cares about that?" Lynette interrupted Yvonne's explanation. "After all, you lost your baby just to save his first love. He's not innocent."

"You're right. So I never gave up on the idea of getting a divorce. I just want to see how he’ll act at the end." Yvonne smiled faintly.

After all, Henry promised that he would send Dominic to jail. If he failed to do so, she would still want to divorce him.

"Yvonne, haven’t you given up on the idea of getting a divorce?" Lynette was slightly stunned.

Yvonne nodded. "Yes."

"Then why are you living with him again? Let’s not talk about the divorce just yet. What are you thinking about? What do you plan to do?" Lynette asked her.
