CHAPTER 689 MEETING OUTSIDE THE BATHROOM

Yvonne had been sleeping late last night. Now that some noises woke her up, the veins on her temples throbbed and her brain buzzed with discomfort.

She didn't open her eyes. Instead, she rolled over, pushed the man beside her, and murmured," Someone's calling, answer it quickly.”

Henry opened his eyes, reached out for his mobile phone, and hung up without looking at it. Then he patted Yvonne on the back and said, "It's not noisy anymore. Get back to sleep. I'll go out to return the call.”

"Okay.” Yvonne nodded casually, covered her head with the quilt, and went on sleeping.

Henry got out of the bed lightly, took the bathrobe on the bedside table, and put it on. Then he walked to the balcony.

The breeze dispelled his drowsiness when he walked t o the balcony.

He then raised his phone to check the call history to see who called him earlier.

Upon seeing that, he frowned and called back, "Didn't I arrange for you to be with Hayden? Why are you calling me still?"

It was Joe who called.

Joe shrugged his shoulders aggrievedly. "Mr.

Lancaster, the young Mr. Lancaster was the one who asked me to contact you."

The young Mr. Lancaster was Elliot.

Now that Elliot had changed his name to Hayden Lancaster, the outsiders called him the young Mr. Lancaster.

Henry rubbed his eyebrows. "What's the matter?"

Joe coughed lightly and replied, "The young Mr. Lancaster just received two invitations. One is for himself and the other is for you."

Henry frowned. "What invitation?"

Joe titled his glasses and said, "It's a party invitation. The Mae family is coming back to Canada. They've selected a mid-rise office building in the city center as their company's headquarters, so they sent the invitation cards to all the major companies." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

To put it bluntly, the Mae family just wanted to tell everyone that they were back and wanted to show their presence in the circle.

Henry pursed his lips and snorted coldly, "Such wishful thinking. When is the party?"

Joe replied, "Next month. There's still time because they haven't returned to Canada yet."

Henry sneered, "That's really aggressive of them to send the invitations now for the party next month."

Joe asked, "That's right. Will you be joining, Mr. Lancaster?"

Henry lifted his chin. "Yes. The old man of the Mae family had a good relationship with Grandpa back then. It won’t look good if I don’t show up. I'll just go to say hello."

Joe nodded. "I got it. I'll reply to their invitation then."

Henry hummed.

After the call ended, he put down the phone and went back to the room, walking to the king-size bed.

When he got to the bed, Henry looked down at the woman who was still sleeping soundly on the bed and kissed the woman on the cheek.

The woman felt it, moved sensibly, then opened her eyes, yawned, and looked at the man above her.

The man touched her forehead. "You're awake?"

Yvonne rolled her eyes. "You woke me up."

She was sleeping soundly and she had a sweet dream. Suddenly, she felt something moist on her face and she woke up.

Henry raised his eyebrows. "I'm sorry. Do you want to sleep a little longer?”

"Nah." Yvonne sat up and shook her head. "Are you done with your call?" "Yeah." Henry sat down by the bed.

Yvonne stretched her arms in the air. "Who called?" "Joe."

Yvonne looked at him and asked, "What did he say? Is there anything wrong with the company?"

If something happened to the company, they had to end their honeymoon trip and they should head back.

Henry seemed to read Yvonne's mind. He chuckled and shook his head. "Everything's fine. It's just an invitation to a party."

And then he told her about the call.

When Yvonne heard that it was related to the Mae family again, she curled her lips uninterestingly and said, "Do I have to go too?"

Henry nodded. "You're my wife. Of course you have to -.^11 go.

Yvonne smiled. "Okay, I'll get to see who Nana Mae is too."

Upon hearing this, Henry pinched her nose with a smile. "Okay, have an eyeful when you see her. Get up now. Aren't you hungry?"

"Of course. Shall we have some Chinese food?" Yvonne rubbed her stomach.

Henry took her clothes to her and said, "It's up to you."

Yvonne smiled before taking the clothes and put them on. "Thank you, hubby."

After they got ready, they left the hotel hand in hand and went to Chinatown for Chinese food.

They went to the most luxurious Chinese restaurant i n Chinatown. After they went in, they found that there were many customers and they thought it would taste good.

A waiter came to them and greeted them with a smile, "Hello. Just the two of you?"

Yvonne felt warm when she heard her language in a distant country. She nodded with a smile. "Yes, it's just the two of us."

The waiter asked again, "Do you prefer to dine in the hall or a room?"

Yvonne looked at Henry.

She could sit anywhere. It was mainly his decision.

He had always disliked this kind of crowded environment and probably wouldn't sit in the hall.

As expected, Henry pursed his lips and said, "The room."

"Okay. Follow me, please." The waiter made a gesture o f invitation.

Yvonne and Henry held hands and followed her to the room.

When they got to the room, the waiter handed them the menu.

Henry didn't look at it. He handed it to Yvonne and asked her to order the food.

Yvonne didn't mind either. She opened the menu and looked at it pleasurably.

At this time, Henry stood up suddenly.

Yvonne looked at him. "What's wrong?"

Henry replied, "I need to go to the washroom."

Yvonne nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Henry responded, left the room, and went to the bathroom. "Okay."

After he was done, he washed his hands and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the washroom, the sudden sound of rapid footsteps came near him.

The owner of the footsteps was a very beautiful woman, but she looked frightened at the moment. She ran and looked back from time to time as if someone was chasing after her.

Suddenly, the women's eyes lit up as if she saw a savior when she saw Henry coming out of the washroom, wiping his hands with a handkerchief. She rushed to Henry, hugged him, and buried her

head in his arms.

Henry was stunned for a moment, then looked down a t the woman in his arms. His face was extremely gloomy. "Let go of me!"

The woman didn't let him go. She lifted her head and Henry's handsome face surprised her. Then she quickly came back to reality and begged, "Sir, please help me. Someone's chasing after me."

Henry narrowed his eyes dangerously and said coldly, "That's your business. I'll say it again. Let go of me!"

The woman shook her head and didn't let him go. "Sir, please don’t be heartless. Please help me this time. Please!"

Henry sneered and was about to push the woman away. "As I said, that's your business. I have no obligation to help you. Don't blame me if you still don’t let me go."

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from behind the woman again. It was very messy and there were several of them.

Soon, those footsteps were getting closer and closer. Then a few tall men showed up from the corner.

The woman was scared to death when she saw them. She squeezed her palm. After a flash of determination in her eyes, she put her arms around Henry's neck and tiptoed to kiss him.

Henry's pupils shrank. He never thought that this woman was so bold. She not only stopped him here, but she also hugged him and wanted to kiss him now!

This was too much.

Henry's eyes flashed sharply and he pinched the woman’s face abruptly.
