CHAPTER 378 CUNNING MAN

When she looked in the direction of the bathroom near the living room, her eyes suddenly widened and she was dumbfounded.

"You... Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Yvonne’s hands trembled as she pointed at Henry. She quickly realized something was wrong so she hurriedly covered her eyes and turned her back against him.

Henry raised his gaze calmly when he saw her making a fuss. "It’s not like you haven't seen it before. Why are you so surprised?"

Yvonne was annoyed by his reaction. "How could this be the same? It was... It was..."

"It was what? Say it." The corner of Henry's mouth was slightly curved.

Yvonne knew that he was deliberately teasing her, so she stomped angrily and said, "Cut the crap and just put on your clothes. This is somebody else's house so don’t be disrespectful."

"I don’t want to," Henry refused.

Yvonne thought she heard it wrong and the corners of her mouth twitched. "You don’t want to? So you'll just stay naked?"

"The clothes smell disgusting," Henry said with hatred. He didn't actually mean to be naked.

Yvonne raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Smell disgusting? No way!"

She didn't believe him and went to the bathroom to get the bathrobe he was wearing before and sniffed it. There was the faint scent of men’s perfume on it, and there was certainly no foul smell. 1

"You lied!" Yvonne held up the bathrobe and looked at Henry resentfully.

Henry was having the porridge she just made and when he heard that, he replied without raising his head, "The smell of other men is disgusting to me."

"Uh..." Yvonne choked. Only then did she realize that this man was a clean freak.

"But you can’t just walk around naked," Yvonne threw the bathrobe on the sofa.

Henry said, "I've asked Joe to bring some clothes over."

"Fine." Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that he would really stay naked like that.

But it was weird to let him stay naked while waiting for Joe too!

Yvonne rolled her eyes when she thought about that. She went back to the room to get a blanket out and threw it on him. “Use this to cover yourself."

Henry knew what she meant. He did not have the habit of being naked either so he wrapped himself in the blanket obediently.

Yvonne didn't say anything anymore when she saw that he did what she said. She went to get his medicine.

As soon as he finished the porridge, she handed him the medicine. "Take this, the doctor prescribed it."

Henry glanced at the colorful medicine in the bottle cap and frowned a little before taking the bottle and raised his head to swallow all the medicine at once.

Yvonne quickly handed him a glass of water, fearing that he would choke.

Henry did not take the glass. He took two sips of water with the glass of water still in her hand instead.

Yvonne rolled her eyes. "You really know how to enjoy it."

"I'm a patient," Henry replied naturally.

Yvonne was speechless and she put the water aside." You're a patient, but you are not handicapped."

Henry looked at her and said, "I don’t have any strength."

Yvonne didn’t know what else to say and she immediately understood what he meant.

He was deliberately pretending to be weak so that she would take care of him.

What a cunning man.

"Well, I don't care. Since Joe will be here in a while, you're going back with him." Yvonne cleaned up the dishes.

Henry pursed his thin lips. "Do you want me to just leave?"

"Didn't I tell you that this is somebody else's residence? It's not nice if you stay for too long, and you also broke someone else's cup and I'll have to pay for that," Yvonne answered.

Henry narrowed his eyes. “I heard you rented a house somewhere else yesterday?"

Yvonne paused when she was cleaning the table. She frowned and looked at him. "Who did you hear that from?"

Henry's eyes flickered, but he did not answer.

However, Yvonne could guess it. She started to feel a little uncomfortable. "You sent someone to follow me?"

"Just to protect you," Henry corrected her.

Yvonne started laughing out of anger. "Protection doesn't mean reporting everything I do at all times. What’s the difference between this and monitoring?"

"Yvonne, can you just stop making something out of nothing? It's a critical time now between the Lancaster Group and the Lancaster family. I asked them to report your whereabouts at all times so that w e know where you are and if you’re safe," Henry said calmly.

Yvonne opened her mouth and for a while, she didn’t know what to say. After a long time, she reluctantly organized her thoughts and said, "Sorry, I was thinking too much. But you're also at fault for not telling me in the first place."

Henry glanced at her faintly. Just as he was about to say something, the doorbell rang.

Yvonne had to go and open the door. exclusive content.

It was Joe, who dropped by to bring some clothes for Henry.

Yvonne wanted to protect Henry's image and it was inconvenient for him to meet someone half- naked, so she did not invite Joe in. She took the bag in his hand and asked him to wait outside the door instead.

"Your clothes." Back in the living room, Yvonne gave the bag to Henry.

After taking a look, Henry took the bag and went to her room to change.

After changing, Yvonne was about to ask him to leave, but when she saw what he was wearing, she was flabbergasted. "Why are you..."

"What's wrong?" Henry slowly tied the belt of the bathrobe around his waist.

Yvonne took a few deep breaths before she calmed down and pointed at the clothes on his body, "Why are you wearing this? What about the clothes Joe brought you?"

"This is it," Henry sat down and replied lazily.

Yvonne was stunned. "This... This? Nothing else?"

"I only asked him to send this. I've asked him to send my other clothes tomorrow morning." Henry smiled.

Yvonne's expression changed, "You're doing this on purpose? You just don't want to leave, do you?"

Henry nodded and admitted honestly, "Didn't you tell Sue that I won't be going back tonight? I'm just doing what you said. Otherwise, if I went back, it would make you seem like a liar, and that'd be such a shame."

He didn't actually know what she told Sue. When he woke up, he realized that it was dark, so he called Sue t o tell her that he would go back late.

However, Sue then told him that Yvonne informed her of him not going back tonight.

He did not want to leave anyway so since she had told Sue so, he would certainly stay. Therefore, when he called Joe, he only asked him to bring his pajamas.

When Yvonne saw his expression of 'I only did this for you,' she could feel swelling in her chest. She pressed her heart and said with a troubled expression," Nobody asked you to do that for me!

Just leave now. Hurry up, Joe is still waiting outside, and no one will care even if you go back in your pajamas."

She then grabbed his arm and tried to pull him up from the sofa.

However, Henry was too heavy and after several attempts, she only managed to pull him up a little.

"It's useless so don't bother. Joe's gone because I texted him and asked him to leave when I was changing my clothes," Henry looked at her and said with a smile.

He had already decided to stay tonight so obviously, h e needed to do something.

Yvonne did not expect that Henry had already asked Joe to leave in order to stay. She was in complete shock and she released her hand that was holding on t o his arm without realizing. 1

Henry's body suddenly lost its support, and he began t o fall backward.

However, the moment his body was about to fall back o n the sofa, a sharp light flashed across his gloomy eyes and the corners of his mouth curled upwards. He stretched out his hand to grab Yvonne's wrist while she was still in a daze, and pulled her hard into his chest before they landed on the sofa.

Yvonne was taken aback by his sudden behavior. Her heart almost flew away and she said loudly, "What are you doing?!"
