CHAPTER 329 ELLIOT TAYLOR, THE GENTLEMAN
Henry clenched his cheeks together and didn't answer Sue.
Sue understood and sighed, "Sir, why don't you call madam now?"
Henry's eyes moved slightly. He took his mobile phone from his pocket right away.
There was a missed call from Joe. He ignored that. Then, he found Yvonne's number and dialed it.
Hearing the ringtone, Yvonne took out her mobile phone and looked at it. It was Henry calling. She bit her lower lip and hung up after hesitating for two seconds. She then turned off her mobile phone.
Elliot, who was driving, caught a glimpse of her movements. The corner of his lips twitched faintly," Did Mr. Lancaster call?”
Yvonne hummed.
"Then why don't you pick up the call?" Elliot asked knowingly.
Yvonne pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Elliot shrugged. "It seems that you’ve been affected badly this time. What did you see in Mr. Lancaster's office that made you so upset?"
Hearing this, Yvonne’s eyes sank. She didn't answer
but asked, "Why did you send me that photo?"
"You're talking about the photo of Mr. Lancaster and Jacqueline hugging each other?” Elliot deliberately mentioned the photo and laughed, "Because I don't want you to be kept in the dark. I want you to know what Mr. Lancaster is doing when you're not with him. But it's purely coincidence."
"A coincidence?" Yvonne looked at the perfect side of his face.
He nodded. "Yes, I came to the Lancaster Group for the inventory confirmation from the previous cooperation with Mr. Lancaster. I didn’t expect to see both of them when I got out of the elevator, so I took the photo. It's really surprising that they're still together. Didn’t you say..."
"That’s enough!” Yvonne couldn’t listen anymore and she interrupted him loudly. "Stop talking, okay?"
"Why can't I say it? I'm telling the truth, aren't I? They're being intimate behind your back and obviously, it hurts you,” Elliot remained in his position and continued, "and seeing you run out of the
Lancaster Group with tears is enough to prove that you saw or heard something, right?"
Yvonne bit her lip and put her hand on her leg. She also held on her trousers tightly, as if she wanted to tear off that piece of fabric.
Elliot was right. She couldn't believe what Henry said a t that time, so she ran out.
"Tell me, Yvonne. What did you see and hear?" Elliot looked at her with interest.
Yvonne closed her eyes and leaned her head against the window. Her eyes were extremely dim and she said, "Jacqueline suggested Henry divorce me and marry her."
"Mr. Lancaster agreed to it?" Elliot’s mouth twitched even wider.
Yvonne shook her head. "No, but he said that he could consider it. So I ran out."
If she didn't run, what would she do when they discovered her?
Let Jacqueline make a fool of her?
"Mr. Lancaster has gone too far!" Elliot pretended to be angry for her and slammed the steering wheel."
Yvonne, you did the right thing by running away." 1
Yvonne twitched her mouth. "I'm not sure what’s right or wrong. All I know is that he wants to divorce me."
"So what are your thoughts? Leave him?" Elliot asked while squinting his eyes.
Yvonne’s mouth moved slightly. She wanted to say something but didn't. Finally, she replied, “I don't know
H
She really wanted to divorce Henry in the earlier days, but that was before Dominic went to prison.
Since Dominic was in prison, she gave up the idea of
divorce.
But now that he wanted to divorce her because of Jacqueline’s suggestion, she really didn't know what t o do.
"Well, pretend that I didn’t ask. But I'll support you in everything you do,” Elliot chuckled.
Yvonne opened her eyes and looked at him. "How did you know that I was hailing a cab at the roadside?"
"Because I was there waiting for you." Elliot stopped his car and waited at the traffic light.
Yvonne adjusted her sitting posture. "Waiting for me?" 1
"That's right. When I sent you the photo, I guessed that you'd come over and I wanted to see what would happen after you came, so I stayed in the car all the time. Who knew that you’d really come?" Elliot winked at her.
The corner of Yvonne’s mouth twitched. "You really like trouble, but thank you. If it wasn't for you, he might’ve caught me."
It was obvious who she was referring to.
Seeing that the red light had turned green, Elliot continued driving. "There's no need to thank me. What are you going to do next? Where do you want to go?"
Yvonne looked out of the window confused. "I don't know. Maybe I'll find a cafe or other places to sit for a while. I need to calm down."
"Okay, I know a place with good coffee. I’ll take you there.” With that, Elliot immediately made a turn and drove in another direction.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the cafe. exclusive content.
Yvonne followed him into the cafe. There was soft piano music playing in the background-it was very beautiful.
Listening to the music, her emotions were much calmer and her face was no longer pale.
"What do you want?" Elliot took the menu from the waiter and passed it to Yvonne.
Yvonne took a look at the menu and casually said," Blue Mountain."
Elliot was slightly surprised. "Blue Mountain is very bitter, even with sugar..."
"Yeah, that's the one." Yvonne nodded surely.
The coffee was indeed bitter, but it could never be compared with the bitterness in her heart.
Elliot looked at Yvonne for a moment and he seemed t o understand what she meant. He chuckled and returned the menu to the waiter. "As the lady says."
"Okay," the waiter responded with a smile and turned t o the counter to prepare.
Yvonne took a sip of warm water. "Mr. Taylor..." "Elliot will do. We've known each other for so long and
I haven't heard you call my name yet,” Elliot cut her off.
Yvonne was shocked for a moment. Then, she opened her mouth and called out, "Elliot."
"That's right. It makes me comfortable when you call me Elliot,” he laughed.
Yvonne glanced at him. "Do you have nothing better to do?"
"What do you mean? Are you shooing me away?" Elliot raised his eyebrows.
Yvonne rubbed the water glass. "I just feel like you don't have to stay here with me. You can leave if you're busy."
"I’ve had nothing to do recently." Elliot twisted his neck.
Yvonne obviously didn’t believe what he said. “As the CEO of such a big group, how are you so free?"
Henry was busy all day long and he didn't even go back to his bedroom to sleep.
She didn't believe that Elliot, who was also a CEO, could be so relaxed.
"It's true. My father is handling all the business in the group now. I’m merely a figurehead and only deal with trivial matters, so I have nothing to do,” Elliot replied and a frightful cold light flashed across his eyes.
Yvonne caught that, but she didn’t ask much.
After all, this was his family's affair.
Elliot stayed with Yvonne and chatted with her.
After a few hours of talking, Yvonne discovered a rare side of him, a gentlemanly side.
Yes, she really thought he was a gentleman.
Although he had a bad personality and treated her badly before, but after getting along for some time, she realized that he wouldn’t bully her. 1
At least with his company this afternoon, she was no longer depressed and she felt much better.
"Elliot, it’s late. I should head back." Yvonne looked at the dark night outside the cafe. She put down the cold coffee and stood up.
Eliot raised his eyes. "Do you still want to go back?"
