CHAPTER 359 SHANE IS BACK
Yvonne didn't want to answer him in the first place, but she couldn’t refuse after seeing Henry's heavy expression earlier.
Upon seeing this, Elliot approached her with a smile. "I t seems that you’re curious about what they want to talk about."
Yvonne rolled her eyes and ignored him. Then, she crept toward Henry. 1
Elliot chuckled softly after seeing her action and followed her.
The two of them leaned on the wall at the balcony, one after another. It was a blind spot, so they didn’t have t o worry about being seen by others. Instead, they could clearly see what the people outside the balcony were doing.
Elliot poked Yvonne who was in front of him with his elbow. He lowered his voice and said proudly, "What d o you think of the spot I chose?”
Yvonne was speechless. "That's enough. Shut your mouth now, they're talking."
Joe was standing respectfully behind Henry outside the balcony.
Looking at the distance, Henry looked tense. "Has Jacqueline confessed?”
"No." Joe shook his head.
Henry frowned fiercely when he heard that. "Did you not torture her?"
"I did," Joe sighed, "but she stands firm on her previous statement. She even said if you don't believe that you both slept together, you should wait two months for her."
"What does this mean?" Henry was unsure.
But Yvonne, who was eavesdropping, understood what it meant. Her finger on the wall slowly tightened up.
Two months...
Two months were enough to check whether a woman was pregnant or not!
Did Jacqueline want to be pregnant with Henry's child?
As she expected, Joe’s answer confirmed her guess.
"What Jacqueline meant is that if you don't believe you both had sex, you'll believe it when she’s pregnant after two months," Joe said.
"Pregnant?" Henry's pupils shrank instantly.
Joe nodded. "Yes, this is what she said."
"She actually had this planned!" Henry clenched his fists.
In the dark, Yvonne couldn't listen to it anymore. She was very confused, so she turned around and walked away.
When Elliot saw that she was gone, he felt that it wasn't good for him to continue eavesdropping, so he followed her.
Once they returned to the previous place, Elliot asked," Why don't you continue listening to them?"
"What’s the point?" Yvonne lowered her eyelids and answered in a low voice.
Elliot chuckled, "I think when you heard Jacqueline might be pregnant with Mr. Lancaster's child, you couldn't accept it, so you stopped listening."This belongs to .
Yvonne was caught red-handed. She pursed her lips. " You knew it and you're still asking me!"
"Haha." Elliot shrugged. "What are you going to do now?"
"What to do?" Yvonne looked at him.
Elliot raised his eyebrows. "About this matter, of course. Mr. Lancaster is cheating on you and that woman may be pregnant with his child. Don't you mind?"
Yvonne remained silent and didn't answer.
Don't mind?
How could she not mind? She minded so much.
But what could she do? Cry out loud?
"Why don't you talk?” Elliot asked again.
Yvonne bit her lower lip. "There's nothing to say. It's already happened. What can I do even if I do mind?"
"That’s true, but you can divorce him." Elliot's eyes shone with excitement.
Yvonne's eyes froze. "Divorce?"
"Yes, he's cheating. Do you still want to forgive him and continue to live with him as if nothing happened? What if someday Jacqueline brings the illegitimate child over? Are you going to raise the kid for her?" Elliot folded his arms and looked at her interestingly.
Yvonne's face sank. "How is that possible? How can I raise a child for a person I hate the most?"
She couldn't accept the thought that Henry had a child with another woman.
Not to mention, she had to raise the child.
"Therefore, the best way for you now is to get a divorce. Believe it or not, if you continue to live with M r. Lancaster, you’ll be hurt even more," Elliot's expression suddenly became serious when he said this.
Yvonne pondered for a few seconds and shook her head. "I won’t get a divorce."
"Why?" Elliot frowned. "So you still want to live with him even after what happened?"
Yvonne pressed her temple and replied in a tired voice, "No, I promised Grandpa that I wouldn't divorce Henry, so..."
"So you really want to live with this man who breaks your heart again and again?" Elliot pointed to the balcony where Henry and both of them stood earlier and yelled angrily.
Yvonne rubbed her cheeks. "Elliot, I know you're doing this for my good, but I have my concerns too. So don't try to persuade me anymore. It’s almost time for the speech and I have to go. You can help yourself."
After speaking, she nodded slightly to Elliot and left.
"Madam, where did you go?" Federick asked Yvonne a s soon as she returned to the lounge.
Yvonne replied apologetically, "I was a little bored earlier, so I went on a walk outside."
"I see." Federick nodded. "Since you're back now, you should go out with sir to give a speech."
"Okay," Yvonne answered and looked at Henry who came back earlier than her.
Henry noticed her gaze and he turned his head to look over.
Both of them were startled when their eyes met each other, but they soon withdrew quickly as if nothing had happened.
This moment fell in front of Federick's eyes. He sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He quickly waved the two of them out to give their speeches.
After the speech, the funeral came to an end.
At this time, the sky was dark and the cold wind was blowing as if it was going to rain.
Henry went to send the guests off while Yvonne stayed in the lounge alone, ready to rest her feet. After standing for the whole day with her high heels, her feet were so sore as if they were going to break.
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, the door at the lounge was knocked.
Yvonne thought it was Sue or Federick, so she didn't ask. She endured the soreness on her feet and calves a s she walked over to open the door.
"Hello!" The man outside the door smiled and waved a t her.
Yvonne blinked her eyes in astonishment, then she quickly recovered from her surprise. "Shane! Are you back?"
It was Shane who hadn't been seen for a long time.
He was also wearing a black suit with a white rose on his chest. He was obviously invited to attend the old man’s funeral.
"Yes, I just came back." Shane nodded.
Yvonne turned sideways to let him enter. "But why didn't I see you today?" "I just arrived not long ago. I had an operation before this and only came back last night. That's why I'm late,” Shane explained.
Yvonne nodded. "I see. Let's sit.”
Shane hummed and sat down on the sofa.
Yvonne poured him a glass of water. "Here you go."
"Thank you.” Shane took it with a smile. After taking a sip of the water, he asked, "How are you doing during this period of time?"
Yvonne forced a smile. "Pretty good."
"You're lying!" Shane looked at her pale face. "You look really tired. Didn't you have a good rest?"
Yvonne lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly," Grandpa just passed away. How can I still sleep?"
Hearing this, Shane was silent for a moment. "Master Lancaster went too suddenly. I'm sorry for your loss."
"I will, but I’m not the one who really needs to mourn.” Yvonne sat down opposite him.
When Shane knew who she was referring to-the eyes behind the glasses narrowed slightly. "I heard people mention the cause of Master Lancaster's death at the funeral. Is what they said true?"
