CHAPTER 722 FEMALE ASSISTANT

"I've been here for a while. Well, I wanted to give you a surprise. What do you think? Are you surprised?" Yvonne sat up and asked with a grin.

Henry scratched her nose dotingly. "I was really surprised."

He thought it was a blind woman who had run into his office.

It had to be Mandy or something.

Yvonne didn't know that Henry had misunderstood her. She rubbed between her eyebrows. "Darling, I want some water."

"Okay," Henry replied and got up to go outside to pour some water for her.

After getting the water, he returned to the lounge and handed her the glass of water.

Yvonne took it with both hands. "Thank you, darling."

"Just thanking me with words?" Henry raised his eyebrows.

Yvonne narrowed her eyes. "What do you want then?"

She knew that this man always liked pushing his luck. He would always take advantage of her whenever he had the opportunity.

Henry pointed to his lips. "Kiss me."

Yvonne rolled her eyes silently, but obediently followed his order and kissed him.

Only then did Henry curl his thin lips with satisfaction. "Next time you come here, go rest at the lounge directly. Don't sleep outside, you might catch a cold."

"I know, I was just too sleepy at the time and I didn't have the energy to walk to the lounge. You know how much more tired I've gotten recently," Yvonne said helplessly while drinking water.

Henry touched her belly.

Her stomach was soft and flat-it was hard to imagine that she would have a child soon.

And this child would be their second fruit of love after Theo.

"What are you doing?" Yvonne slapped Henry's hand unhappily.

Henry smiled. "I'm touching the baby."

Yvonne rolled her eyes. "The baby is still a tiny dot now. How can you feel it?"

Henry put his hand back on his lap. "I know, but I just want to feel it."

Yvonne smiled when she heard that. "The baby hasn't developed yet. By the time the baby's four months old, there will be a slight fetal movement, and you'll be able to feel its existence then."

"Fetal movement?" Henry raised his brows slightly. It was obvious that it was his first time and he found the word intriguing.

Yvonne said, "Yes, it means the baby will start moving in my stomach."

Henry's pupils zoomed slightly.

He just found out that babies would move in the stomach.

He thought babies only moved after they were born.

It seemed that he had to learn more about pregnancy before he could take care of the baby.

He missed Theo's birth, so he didn't want to miss the birth of this child.

"What're you thinking about?" When Yvonne saw Henry's eyes drooping as if he was deep in thought, she couldn't help but wave her hands.

Henry's eyes flashed slightly and he snapped out of his daze. "It's nothing."

He grabbed her hand and said, "Well, do you want to g o home now? Shall I get someone to send you back?"

"I'm waiting for you." Yvonne stretched her body.

Henry squeezed her hand. "I can't leave. There are a few overseas clients coming over tonight and I need to socialize." "I see." Yvonne nodded, indicating that she knew."

Well, I'll go back first then. Come back early tonight and don’t drink too much."

"Okay." Henry nodded.

Yvonne pushed the blanket away and prepared to get out of bed.

Henry crouched down, picked up the shoes on the ground, and put them on for her personally.

Yvonne was not surprised by his action. Instead, she sat on the edge of the bed and watched him put her shoes on her.

It was obvious that she had gotten used to him putting on her shoes for her.

"Okay." Henry stood up after he helped Yvonne put on her shoes.

Yvonne also got off the bed and stepped on the ground.

Henry handed her bag to her and took her hand before walking out of the lounge.

When he arrived at the office outside, Henry called an assistant over.

Joe had already left and he was not in the Lancaster Group. Now, there were several assistants that shared Joe’s responsibilities.

After those assistants could fully take on the job, Henry would select one of the most outstanding assistants to assume the position of chief assistant, which was the position Joe had.

This time, it was a female assistant who came in. She was hired after Mandy left.

"Chairman, how can I help you?" the female assistant asked respectfully.

Henry put his coat on Yvonne. "This is my wife. Please send her back."

The female assistant glanced at Yvonne in surprise.

It turned out that this was the wife of the Lancaster Group's chairman.

She had only heard of her but had never seen her before. Now that she had seen her, she was very beautiful indeed.

"Yes, chairman." The female assistant quickly gathered her thoughts and replied in a neither overbearing nor servile manner.

Yvonne smiled. "Darling, this assistant is pretty good, much better than Mandy Lovett."

The female assistant responded with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, madam."

She knew who Mandy was. Although she had not met her before, there were many rumors about that woman in the company.

Everyone said that the woman did not come in to be a n assistant at all-she hoped to take the position of the chairman's wife. She was driven out of the Lancaster Group by the president.

Now, since the chairman's wife praised her, it obviously showed that the wife liked her very much and could rest assured when she worked with the chairman.

Henry also understood what Yvonne meant, and he was slightly relieved.

He was afraid that Yvonne would mind him having a female assistant by his side.

If she did mind, he would obviously transfer her away.

But now, it seemed that it was obviously unnecessary.

"Madam, let's go." The female assistant made a gesture of invitation.

Yvonne hummed and looked at Henry, "I'm leaving now. Don't drink too much."

"Okay." Henry nodded.

Yvonne waved to him and left with the female assistant.

Back at the family residence, Sue greeted Yvonne and took the bag on her shoulder. "Madam, why did you come back so late?"

"I went to Henry's company for a while," Yvonne rubbed her temples and said.

Sue nodded. "I see. Are you hungry, madam?"

Yvonne touched her stomach. "A little." "Okay, let’s have dinner then. I'll have someone call

Theo over," Sue said.

Yvonne smiled and responded, "Okay."

Sue left.

Yvonne walked towards the dining room alone.

Soon, Sue came over with Theo.

When Theo saw Yvonne, his eyes lit up and he opened his hands as he wanted her to hold him.

Sue hurriedly said, "Young Master, you can't do that. Mommy is pregnant with a little brother or little sister, so she can't hold you for the time being."

When Theo heard this, his eyes dimmed instantly.

Yvonne smiled and stretched out her hand. "It's okay, Sue. I’m not a porcelain doll, so holding Theo for just a while will be fine." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

When Theo heard this, his sullen eyes lit up again.

Sue didn't want to force the mother and child to separate either, so after listening to Yvonne, she handed Theo to her.

After all, if Yvonne really was not allowed to get close t o Theo, what should they do if the mother and son became estranged in the future?

Yvonne took Theo with a smile and kissed him on his cheek.

Theo blushed and buried his head in Yvonne's arms shyly.

Yvonne touched his head and asked about his study today.

Theo slowly told her about it. His description was better than before and it was much smoother now.

"Madam, Young Master, time to eat," Sue reminded.

Yvonne put Theo on the chair next to her and put a napkin on Theo. "Okay, Theo. Let’s eat."

"Dad?" Theo picked up a spoon and looked at her. He was clearly asking why Henry didn’t come back for dinner.

Sue also froze for a moment, and then asked, "Yes, madam, isn't sir coming back tonight?"
