CHAPTER 696 THE MAE FAMILY'S PARTY

Mandy’s body shuddered and she quickly turned around. When she saw that it was Nana Mae who surprised her, an unnoticeable annoyance flashed across her eyes and it immediately went away as she smiled. "It’s you, Nana."

"It’s me. What are you doing here?" Nana Mae put her hand down and asked again.

Mandy turned and glanced in the direction where Henry was leaving. "Nana, did you know that I found the person I was talking about?"

"What? Really?" Nana opened her mouth wide in surprise. "You found him right after you came back?"

"Yeah." Mandy smiled and nodded. "I didn't expect such a coincidence either. I was thinking about asking someone to find out which city he's from, but little did I know that he's right here. Nana, do you think this is our fate?"

Nana touched her chin. "It must be, Mandy. Come on, I got your back."

"Thank you, I'm going to get him," Mandy clenched her fist and said with a firm expression.

It didn’t matter who Miss Smith was or what Miss Smith had to do with him-she would never give up. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Love was selfish and she would do whatever it took to get what she wanted, even if she had to do it by force.

As Mandy thought about this, a hint of determination flashed across her eyes.

Henry didn’t know that there was a woman who was thinking so deeply about him. He opened the door of the room and went in.

Yvonne turned to look at him. "Why did you come back so late?"

"We talked about the collaboration for quite a while. What's wrong with him?" Henry asked with a frown as he looked at Shane who was already lying on the table. He was so drunk that he was unconscious.

Elliot curled his lips. "He just lost a bet with me and he got drunk."

"I see." Henry nodded to indicate that he knew. He didn't ask any further and walked over to Yvonne's side before sitting down.

Yvonne handed him a spoon. "Hurry up and eat something."

"Okay." Henry smiled at her and stretched out his hand to get some food.

However, after he got the food, he gave it to Yvonne instead. "You should eat more."

Yvonne touched her lower abdomen. "Eat more? I gained weight recently." "Really?" Henry looked at her.

Sam nodded. "She did gain some weight compared to before she got married."

"See, my brother just said so," Yvonne pouted.

Henry glanced at Sam coldly. He looked like he was blaming Sam for not speaking tactfully.

Sam also just realized now that women didn't like hearing those words.

Women could call themselves fat, but they would never allow others to call them fat.

Sam lowered his head and didn’t say anything anymore.

Only then did Henry shift his gaze and stop looking at him.

After the meal, they left the restaurant.

Shane passed out as he was drunk, and Elliot sent him home.

Since he was the one who made a bet with Shane and got him drunk, he had to send him back.

When they returned to the family residence, it was already ten o'clock at night.

Yvonne and Henry went to Theo's room to see him. They then went back to their room, washed up, and got some rest.

The next day, Yvonne went to the company again so that she could take over the remaining work from

Sam.

By the afternoon, she had already completed the handover and Sam had left her company to apply for a visa and buy a plane ticket.

However, before he left tomorrow, he still had to stay t o attend a party. It was the party to celebrate the return of the Mae family.

Sam received the invitation too.

In the evening, Yvonne came down from the second floor of the gown boutique in a long red strapless gown.

Henry waited for her in the waiting area on the first floor. When he saw her coming, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated and it slowly switched to unhappiness.

"This piece isn't good." Before Yvonne could ask him, h e told her that it was not good.

Yvonne's smile froze and she looked down at herself." What's wrong? I think it's pretty good."

"It's too revealing," Henry opened his mouth and said lightly.

Yvonne was speechless. "Come on, this is a strapless gown."

"No, try another one." Henry remained indifferent and he didn't want her to wear that one.

The salespersons who were next to them could not help but laugh.

Yvonne knew that Henry was not old fashioned-he simply didn’t like others looking at her. Although she was mad, she found it funny at the same time. "I finally chose this after spending so much time choosing, but you want me to change it. Tell me then, which one should I change?"

When Henry heard this, he got up and walked to the front of the rows of dresses as he began to choose.

Finally, he took a black gown and handed it to her. " This."

"This?" Yvonne took it and looked at it.

It was a one-shoulder gown, which was also a long gown with a long fishtail train that would drag on the floor. It looked very feminine.

Yvonne's eyes lit up. "It's so beautiful. I didn't even notice it just now. Darling, you have a good eye."

Henry raised his chin and there was a hint of smugness in his eyes after Yvonne praised him.

"Go and change into it." Henry waved his hand.

Yvonne hummed and went up to the second floor again.

Soon, she changed into the gown and came down while holding the dress up.

Henry nodded in satisfaction. "This is it."

Yvonne agreed with a smile. She then thought of

something and asked, "What about you?"

Henry looked at the salespersons. "Go and get me a set of the same style, but the shirt needs to be white."

"Yes!" the salesperson responded and immediately followed his orders.

Yvonne tilted her head in confusion. "Why does the shirt have to be white?"

"Because white matches your black gown more," Henry said as he bent over and helped her tidy up her dress.

Yvonne's heart warmed up. "You’re pretty romantic."

Henry's thin lips curved lightly. "Thank you for the compliment, madam."

"Stop joking around, I didn’t compliment you!" Yvonne hit his chest.

Henry grabbed her hand, put it to his lips, and kissed i t.

At this moment, the salespeople came over with their selected men’s suit.

After Yvonne took it, she handed it to Henry. "You should try it on too."

Henry nodded slightly and went to try on the clothes.

After trying on the clothes, he handed her a bag of things.

Yvonne took it and was curious. "What’s this?"

"The tie and cufflinks you bought for me when we were abroad. Help me put them on," Henry said.

Yvonne opened the bag and looked at it. The items were indeed those she bought abroad. She could not help but feel a little curious. "When did you bring them?"

"Before we came out."

Yvonne was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, I'll put them on for you."

After she said that, she put the cufflinks on him, then tied his necktie before putting on the tie clip.

When Yvonne was done, she nodded in satisfaction." My husband is so handsome."

After hearing this, Henry hugged her slender waist. "M y wife is also very beautiful."

Yvonne blushed. "Well, everyone’s watching. Let's go."

Henry didn’t want to tease her in public either as he didn't want others to see her shy, so he let go of her without hesitation. He then took her to the front desk t o pay the bill before leaving the boutique and got into a car as they headed to the hotel where the party was held.

The Mae family had already sent someone to wait at the entrance of the party. When they arrived, they were welcomed enthusiastically.

After they entered, Yvonne saw Sam.

"Darling, my brother is over there. I'll go and say hello t o him," Yvonne pulled Henry's sleeve and whispered t o him.

Henry nodded. "Go ahead. I'll greet the Mae family and come see you later." 1

The Mae family gave Henry an invitation but not Yvonne, so it didn't matter if she went or not.

Yvonne waved her hand. "Go ahead."

Henry touched her hair, turned around, and left.

At the entrance of the party, Nana Mae stood there with a glass in her hand. She kept looking around from time to time as if she was looking for someone. Mandy came over. "Nana, are you waiting for Henny?"
