CHAPTER 369 ILLEGITIMATE CHILD

"Did I say anything wrong?" Elliot sneered, "You treat Yvonne as an accessory, so you never care about her feelings. You subconsciously think that she should follow the route you planned for her. You think you're doing it for her good, but you never think about what she wants. I think she doesn't want it."

Upon hearing this, Henry's heart trembled.

He couldn't deny that he didn't ask Yvonne and decided on his plan to protect her in this way.

Was he wrong?

Elliot noticed that Henry had some self-doubt and he narrowed his eyes for a moment. "Alright, Mr.

Lancaster. I've told you so much. I'm afraid Yvonne has gone far away. I should look for her and bring her back safely since I was the one who brought her here. So, Mr. Lancaster, I'll make a move first."

He turned around, waved to Henry, and left.

Elliot found Yvonne waiting outside the auction hall. H e went over quickly. "Have you waited for a long time?"

Yvonne looked at him. "What did you tell him?" Content is © by .

"You mean Mr. Lancaster?" Elliot teased her.

Yvonne pursed her lips. "Of course. Who else am I asking about?"

"Haha. I'm just kidding." Elliot waved his hand airily." I didn't tell him much. I just let him know how low his EQ is. Besides, I also hinted to him to apologize to you. But I'm not sure if he can figure that

out and come to you."

Yvonne lowered her eyes when she heard this. "I don't think it's going to happen."

"Oh?" Elliot raised his eyebrows. "Why?"

Yvonne shook her head. "I know him too well. He's just too arrogant and he will not give in."

"If that's the case, does that mean you'll never get his apology and both of you will never be reconciled?" Elliot's eyes rolled slightly.

Yvonne didn't notice that. She lowered her head and gave a wry smile. "I'm not sure either."

"Tsk. Your relationship is so intricate. I'd just get a divorce if I were you," Elliot said unintentionally.

Yvonne immediately disagreed. "No. I promised Grandpa that I will not get a divorce." 1

"Why can't you do that? Master Lancaster is a smart guy. How can he make such a silly request? Isn't he binding you on purpose?" Elliot asked tentatively.

Yvonne was so immersed in the sadness of the old man's death that she didn't notice he was deceiving her. Yvonne rubbed her cheeks and replied tiredly," I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

"It's that secretive?" Elliot's eyes flashed.

Yvonne sighed, "It's not secretive, it's about a very important thing. So I can't tell you."

She didn't plan to tell anyone about the shares, including Henry. Unless Henry faced a situation like what Grandpa mentioned, she would tell him and take out the shares for him to make a comeback. 1

If nothing happened, she would keep the shares deep down in her heart and be the most mysterious shareholder of the Lancaster Group until their child was born. Then, she would transfer the shares to the child.

But looking at their current situation, they probably had to postpone their plan of having a child till God knows when.

Thinking of this, Yvonne touched her belly with her pale eyes, looking depressed.

Elliot looked at her, then touched his chin. "Forget about it since you’re not saying it. Does Mr. Lancaster know about the promise you made with Master Lancaster about the divorce?"

Yvonne shook her head lightly. "I didn't tell him.” 2

"I see," Elliot laughed with a hint of gloat in his tone. ' Even Mr. Lancaster doesn't know about it, so I feel equal now."

"What does this have to do with you?" Yvonne rolled her eyes and looked at him. 1

Elliot wiped the corners of his mouth in a meaningful way. "It doesn't matter. I'm just happy to see that Mr. Lancaster is unhappy. Well, we should head back now."

Yvonne hummed and followed him to the exit. 'Does that mean you wasted a trip today?”

Elliot squinted his eyes. "No, at least I caught Mr.

Lancaster's joke. So it's not a wasted trip. I'll just tell m y father that we didn't manage to bid for the company."

When she heard him mention his father, Yvonne frowned in confusion. "Father?"

"Yeah. What’s the matter?" Elliot turned his head to look at her.

Yvonne smiled, "It's nothing. I just felt strange about how you addressed your father."

'Most people don't address their dads this way.'

"It's normal. I don't have a good relationship with him, " Elliot said indifferently.

Yvonne was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered what Smith had said. She hesitated and asked, "Um... I heard that you're not Mr. Taylor's biological son. Is that true?"

Elliot's footsteps stopped slightly. "Who did you hear that from?" "Um, from Smith," Yvonne answered honestly.

Elliot raised his eyebrows. "You know Smith?" "Well, I met him by chance," Yvonne answered while putting her hair behind her ear. She blushed slightly.

She couldn't forget the embarrassing moment when she called him Brother Smith.

Luckily, Smith didn't hear it.

Elliot noticed her blushing and he started to make some associations. His eyes were cold. "By chance? Look at you now. It seems that both of you are very close?"

Yvonne rubbed her neck and said embarrassedly," Well, it's not too bad. Our situation is a little complicated."

Elliot pursed his lips. "Complicated?"

"Well, I look a lot like his sister, so he treats me well," Yvonne replied. 1

There was nothing to hide.

After hearing her answer, Elliot was stunned. He didn't expect the relationship between Smith and her t o be like this. He thought she was also attracted to Smith. After all, the way she blushed was really misleading.

"I see..." Elliot touched the tip of his nose awkwardly." I didn't expect that he'd tell you those things. That's right, my father and I are indeed not biological father and son. I was adopted, and I am an illegitimate son of

someone else!"

When he said this, his tone was obviously aggravated with a trace of hatred.

Yvonne was surprised by his real identity and she couldn't react in time.

However, Elliot misunderstood her.

Elliot thought that she despised his background as she didn’t speak for a long time. His expression became gloomy instantly. "Why? Do you think I was born low?" 1

"Huh?" Yvonne had just returned to her senses when she heard his words. She was a little confused. "Low? I don't think you're born low."

"Didn't you mean that with your expression?" Elliot's eyes were full of coldness.

Yvonne finally realized that he had misunderstood her and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "I was just surprised. I don't think your background is... you're just thinking too much."

"Really?" Elliot was still a little unconvinced and squinted his eyes suspiciously.

Yvonne twitched the corner of her lips and said," Believe it or not. Does your identity matter to me? Does it have anything to do with me?”

Elliot didn’t answer. After a few seconds, he put away his resentment and suddenly smiled, "That’s true. My identity really is not important to you. I'll trust you for the time being." "For the time being?" Yvonne twitched the corner of her mouth.

Elliot looked at her. "Why don't you ask whose illegitimate son I am?”
