CHAPTER 616 THERE'S NO PLACE HE CAN'T GO
Henry explained in detail, "She initially took cover under that organization, but after Joe found out about i t, she went and took cover somewhere else."
"Took cover somewhere else?" Yvonne frowned.
Henry pinched the bridge of his nose. "Yes, she's no longer in that organization. After I talked to the leader of that organization, he told me that Jacqueline had left."
"Do you believe him?" Yvonne suddenly asked.
Henry smiled. "Of course I don’t. Jacqueline must still be in that organization, and that leader said those things on purpose just to mislead me."
"I think so too. First of all, if Jacqueline left, where else can she go? We’re not by the sea, so there's no way for her to sneak out of the city. The possibility of her leaving Vancouver is very small. The only possibility i s that the leader is lying. But why would he try to protect Jacqueline? Is Jacqueline that important to him?" Yvonne couldn't figure it out. i
Henry reached out and touched her brows. "Don’t frown, you look ugly like that."
"I don’t care." Yvonne swatted his hand away.
Henry looked at the back of his hand that had gone red after she slapped his hand. He was not angry. He simply withdrew his hand and went on, "Don't worry, we should hear back from them soon."
"What did you do?" Yvonne noticed his confidence and suddenly realized that he must have done something.
Henry smiled, "When I went to see the leader, I took the opportunity to install a bug. That was actually my real intention of seeing him. If I asked Joe to go by himself, the leader wouldn't see him."
"I see." Yvonne suddenly realized what he had done.
So that was the reason why he went personally.
"But aren't you afraid that the leader might find out? What if the leader..."
"Are you worried about me?" Henry interrupted her.
Yvonne's expression changed and she turned her head away. "No, I'm not. Who cares about you?"
"Weren't you worried just now?"
"No, I said I'm not!" Yvonne shouted. 1
Henry looked at her with a smile. "Fine, you're not, but I'll just assume that you are. Don't worry, he won’t find out. That leader has been at the top for too long and it’s been so long that he let his guard down about all the warnings and advice he got when he fought for the position as a leader. All that's left in him is ignorance and arrogance." "So you mean that because of the leader's arrogance, h e wouldn't expect you to install a listening device on him?" Yvonne understood what he meant.
Henry nodded. "Yes, this is a common problem among high-ranking people."
"I can tell that you have it too." Yvonne glanced at him.
Henry smiled and didn't refute as he agreed as well.
After a while, he stood up and said, "Well, let's get some food first. Joe will be monitoring them. I believe i t won't take long before we hear back from him."
Yvonne nodded and got up to head to the dining room with him.
After the meal, she wanted to leave.
However, Sue stopped her since she didn't want her to leave.
In the end, Yvonne couldn't reject Sue and it was getting late anyway. It would be dangerous to go back, so she agreed to stay.
Sue happily went to clean up her room, and the room she had chosen was next to Henry's room.
Yvonne obviously knew that Sue did it on purpose, but she didn't say anything. The room was still next door after all and she didn't need to share a room with Henry.
Moreover, she was no longer a member of the Lancaster family, so she had no right to ask Sue to get her another room.
"Theo will be sleeping with me tonight. I haven't been with Theo for so long," Yvonne suddenly said before returning to the room.
She was Theo's mother, so everyone naturally had no problem with that. They happily handed Theo to her.
Yvonne hugged Theo and kissed him. She then followed behind Henry and walked to the room.
When they arrived at the door of the room, Yvonne went directly into her room without saying anything t o Henry.
Henry raised his eyebrows when he saw her closing the door coldly. He laughed and entered his room next door.
After washing up in his own room, Henry took care of some official business. When it was almost eleven o'clock, he suddenly stretched his neck and got up. He walked out of his room to the room next to his. Content © 2024.
When he arrived in front of the room next to his, he didn't knock. Instead, he took out a key card and swiped it.
There was a beep, and the door was unlocked.
Henry put the key card away calmly and gently opened the door.
Who were they kidding? This was his family residence - there was no place he couldn't go.
Even if Yvonne didn't want to live with him, he could certainly make it happen by himself.
As Henry thought about this, he walked into the room. The room was dead silent and it was very dim because all the lights had been turned off except for a small bedside lamp.
Henry walked towards the bed and stopped when he reached the bed. He looked down at the mother and son that were lying on the bed.
Yvonne was already asleep as she was probably exhausted. She looked like she was sound asleep, while Theo was lying in her arms.
To Henry's surprise, Theo was not asleep. His eyes were wide open and he was staring at the ceiling quietly.
After Theo saw him, his gaze shifted from the ceiling t o Henry. He then stared at him for a long time.
"Shh..." Henry raised a finger and hushed Theo, "Be quiet, don't wake Mommy up."
Theo blinked and he suddenly rolled over with his butt facing Henry.
Theo thought that his dad was stupid because he still couldn’t really speak. He could only utter a few syllables or call out for his parents, so how could he wake his mom up?
As Henry looked at Theo's back, he raised his brows slightly.
Did this kid just look down on him?
"Theo." Henry leaned over and gave Theo a little push.
Theo ignored him as he kept his eyes shut.
Henry couldn't do anything to him, so he had to give u p. He then walked to the other side of the bed, pulled back the blanket, and lay on the bed.
After he lay down, he wrapped his arms around Yvonne and Theo before closing his eyes.
Maybe it was because he was right beside his loved ones, but Henry fell asleep soon after.
Soon after he fell asleep, Theo's breathing gradually calmed down and he fell asleep too.
When Yvonne woke up the next morning, not only did she see Theo's sleeping face, but she also saw Henry's.
Henry's posture was exactly like Theo's, and so was his expression. They were cast in the same mold, and they were obviously father and son.
However, that was not the point. The point was, why was Henry here?
Yvonne pursed her lips and suddenly remembered that since two days ago, she would find Henry in her bed every time she woke up, so it was self-explanatory as to why he was here this time.
Once again, he climbed into her bed in the middle of the night shortly after she fell asleep.
This man was just...
Yvonne wrinkled her nose and she didn’t know how to describe this man.
She wanted to kick him out of the bed, but Theo was still in his arms. She would definitely wake Theo up if she did so, so she could only hold back.
"What a douche!" Yvonne glared at Henry's sleeping face while gently removing his hand from her waist. She then pushed back the blanket and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she was done washing up, she saw that Henry had woken up and he was playing with Theo's long eyelashes while leaning his head on his hand.
When Yvonne saw this, she said angrily, "Don't wake him up."
"I won’t," Henry answered her confidently before looking at her. His eyes darkened as he stared at her flushed face after she had just washed up.
"What are you looking at?" Yvonne noticed the thirst i n his eyes and glared at him.
