Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 719 She Got Down on Her Knees

Yvonne looked at Henry and explained briefly, "She made a great contribution and reduced her sentence."

Elliot suddenly raised his chin to indicate that he knew it. He didn't ask any further. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, but his aura was depressing.

How could Henry not see that Elliot was mourning the death of his grandpa? He pursed his lips and stood up. "Well, everything's over now. Are you done eating? Get to work as soon as you're done!"

Elliot knew that Henry was comforting him, not letting him immerse himself in the past. He felt warm deep down in his heart, but he still antagonized him and stood up. "I'm going now!"

With that, he put the cutlery on the table heavily and left the dining room.

Henry sat down again. Yvonne looked at him with a smile. "I didn’t expect that you'd comfort him.”

Henry sipped his coffee calmly. "Although he's not smart, he's still my brother."

"Come. Just say that you care about him. Why do you have to beat around the bush? You act this way, and s o does Elliot." Yvonne shrugged, picked up the napkin to wipe the corners of Theo's mouth and said, "I can see that Elliot has accepted you as his brother, but

he's thin-skinned and can't say it aloud."

Henry's thin lips twitched slightly and the coffee cup blocked his mouth without letting them see it. Then h e said quietly, "I know."

Yvonne sighed, "Both of you care about each other, but none of you are honest that your relationship doesn't seem very good in the eyes of outsiders."

Henry put down the coffee cup and then wiped his mouth. "It doesn't matter, just let them be. As long as w e know it ourselves. Besides, this is how I get along with Elliot. It's also the most comfortable way to get along with him."

Yvonne nodded. "That’s true.”

After all, the brothers had been separated for more than twenty years. Shaw trained Elliot to avenge the Lancaster family, so his affection for the Lancaster family wasn't as deep.

So it would be strange if Elliot became close with Henry as soon as he came back to the Lancaster family.

Furthermore, they were love rivals before this.

Thinking of this, Yvonne sighed a little, lowered her head, and ate the food on her plate in silence.

Henry stood up. "Take your time. I'm going to the group first. There's an important inspection today. I'll come back early to accompany both of you in the evening."

Yvonne put down the cutlery and stood up to help tidy up his tie. "Okay, go ahead. Work hard."

Henry lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the lips.

Yvonne patted his collar. "Alright. It looks neat now. B e careful on the road and drive safely."

Henry's eyebrows softened and he rubbed Theo's hair before leaving the dining room.

Elliot and Henry left one after another. The dining room became quiet and a little lonely.

Yvonne hadn't finished eating yet. She sat back down and ate with Theo, then she asked Theo about his studies.

Although Theo spoke fluently, he couldn't speak naturally when it came to long sentences, especially when it came to describing words and some terms. He was still weak in this aspect.

However, Yvonne wasn't disappointed because Theo had just recovered from autism not long ago. He needed some time for recovery. He shouldn't have any problem speaking after a long recovery period.

Yvonne stayed with Theo in the family residence for about two hours. It wasn’t until Theo's teacher came that she went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went out with her bag. She was ready to meet Lynette.

Right when she walked to the gate of the family residence, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side and ran towards her at a very fast speed.

Yvonne was startled, but she didn't care who the person was. She quickly covered her stomach and stepped back to avoid that person from hitting her.

She was still weak and the fetus was unstable. If the person bumped into her, she wouldn't be able to keep the child.

Fortunately, the person had discretion too. The person didn't really hit Yvonne and stopped.

Yvonne then looked at the person in fear. She was surprised when she saw that it was Mandy. Then she frowned. "Miss Lovett, you haven't left yet?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Didn't Henry and Elliot see her when they left?

Mandy looked at Yvonne with her red eyes. After a long time, she suddenly knelt to Yvonne with a thud.

Her action shocked Yvonne and Yvonne stepped back subconsciously. "Miss Lovett, what are you doing?"

Mandy bit her lips and tears flowed down from her eyes. "Mrs. Lancaster, I'm begging you. Please talk to Chairman Lancaster for me, okay?"

Looking at her in this way, Yvonne had a headache.

What she hated most were people who cried all the time as if someone bullied them and was wronged. It was annoying.

Most importantly, she wasn't good at dealing with this kind of person because people like this were often very scheming and usually portrayed themselves as victims. If the person fainted before she could do anything, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

So she still preferred to deal with people who did bad things openly because those kinds of people didn't pretend to be weak. It didn't matter how much they were beaten up.

But obviously, the Mandy who was in front of her wasn't a bad person who did bad things publicly. Instead, she pretended to be pure and kind-hearted on the outside, but she had a scheming and vicious heart on the inside.

Yvonne rubbed her eyebrows and said as patiently as she could, "Miss Lovett, why don't you get up first?"

As she spoke, she bent down and reached out with her hand to help Mandy up.

However, Mandy moved a step on her knees. She shook her head, waved her hand, and refused Yvonne's help. "No, I won't get up unless Mrs.

Lancaster promises me." 1

Oh, Mandy was threatening Yvonne.

Yvonne was worried that Mandy's shaking hand would hit her stomach. She stood up straight and was too lazy to help her up. Then she looked at her nails that had been trimmed short without any nail polish and said, "You won't get up if I don't promise?"

Mandy nodded her head. "Yes!"

Yvonne smiled. "If that's the case, you shall continue t o kneel."

After speaking, she walked past Mandy and was about to leave.

Mandy’s eyes were wide open and she was stunned.

Obviously, she was stunned at how things weren't going as she thought.

But she didn't care too much. She quickly stood up and chased after Yvonne.

Yvonne didn't dare to walk too fast due to her pregnancy, so Mandy caught up to her soon.

Mandy stretched out her hands to stop her.

Yvonne pursed her lips and said with a sneer, "Miss, Lovett, didn't you say that you wouldn't get up? Why d o you get up suddenly? You regretted it so fast and there's no integrity at all."

Listening to Yvonne's ridicule of herself, Mandy felt humiliated in her heart, but she still looked wronged with her tough face. "Mrs. Lancaster, how can you be s o heartless?"

“Heartless?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows. "Excuse me, Mrs. Lovett. How am I heartless?"

Mandy put down her arms and complained loudly," I've knelt on the ground and even begged you, but you didn't promise me yet. And I wanted to see you yesterday, but you refused to see me. I've

been out in the rain for so long. Isn't this heartless?"

Listening to her guilt, Yvonne laughed angrily. "I see. Then wasn't I wronged?" 2

Mandy bit her lips without saying anything, obviously not agreeing to what Yvonne said.
