No one answered, but the knocking continued.
The constant knocking gave Yvonne a headache. She hammered her head in chagrin and simply
put on her clothes. Then, she got out of her bed to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she was hugged tightly before she could even recognize the guest.
"Madam, I've missed you so much," Sue said excitedly.
Yvonne was stunned and quickly pushed her away. She looked at her in disbelief. "S-Sue?"
"It's me, madam," Sue smiled and nodded.
Yvonne was surprised and she gulped audibly, "Why are you here?"
"Sir brought me here," Sue said while pointing to the back.
Yvonne immediately had a bad feeling when she saw Sue's action. "Is Henry here too?"
"Yes." Sue nodded.
Yvonne went past Sue right away and looked behind her.
As expected, a tall figure standing not far away was looking towards her direction indifferently.
Yvonne was shocked and she stood there with her indescribable feelings. There was definitely a
surprise, but even more shock.
"You..." Yvonne opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but she just couldn't bring it up.
Henry walked towards her and stopped right in front o f her. "Surprised?"
Yvonne nodded. "How did you manage to find this place?"
She didn't remember telling anyone that she had gone back to her hometown.
Something was wrong...
It seemed like she told Lynette! Did he ask Lynette?
Henry looked down at Yvonne whose gaze was dimming. He could probably guess what she was
thinking at that moment. He then said it with his thin lips, "I asked Jason."
Yvonne was slightly startled. "Jason?"
Henry nodded.
"He... how did he know that I was back here?" Yvonne was puzzled.
Henry didn't hide from her and recalled what had happened earlier.
Yvonne finally understood the situation. "I see. Then, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
She looked at him.
"Madam, itâs..." "Sue!â Henry stopped Sue.
Sue immediately went quiet.
Henry said, "I'm here to bring you back."
"Bring me back?" Yvonne frowned.
Henry nodded. âThatâs right."
"I won't go back!" Yvonne refused directly.
Henry looked at her. "Why wonât you come back?"
"Didn't I repeat it many times already? I want to get a divorce. In that case, whatâs the point of going
back? And tell me, where should I go back? Is the Lancaster family my home?" Yvonne asked him.
Henry blurted without giving a thought about it, "The Lancaster family is your home!"
Yvonne was stunned. "What did you say?"
"Iâm saying that the Lancaster family is your home. Can you hear me now?" Henry repeated.
"I heard it loud and clear." Yvonne nodded subconsciously.
Henry smiled faintly, "Since you've heard it clearly, then come back with me.â
"No!" Yvonne rejected again.
Henry frowned this time. "Yvonne Frey, what exactly i s it that you want?"
Yvonne was annoyed. "What do I want? Shouldnât it be what you want, Mr. Lancaster? You're the
one who didn't want to see me and gave me the cold shoulder. And now you're asking me to go
back with you. How about you tell me now - who am I to you? Why must I do as you say?â
"Because I'm your husband!" Henry said it word by word while staring at her.
Yvonne sneered, "Husband? Let me say this again. Have you done your responsibilities as a
husband? Do you know exactly what a husband should do?"
Henry pursed his lips, "I know. I wonât be the same in future."
"Future?" Yvonne snorted. "There is no future and I donât want to have a future with you. Iâm afraid
that I can't even protect my child in the future. So please leave, Mr. Lancaster."
She was about to close the door after she said that.
Upon seeing that, Henry pinned his hand to the door panel.
He was so strong that Yvonne couldn't stop him at all. After trying for a long time, she was angry
that she couldnât get the door to close. "Mr. Lancaster, please let go!â
"Come back with me!" Henry repeated.
Yvonne took a deep breath and suppressed the anger i n her heart. "I've said this. I wonât go back
and I just want a divorce. Don't you understand what a divorce i s?"
"Iâve also told you that I won't agree to the divorce. So, Yvonne Frey, you must come with me!"
Henry stared a t her.
Both of them were firm with their decision. The air between them thickened.
Sue had a headache just by looking at them. She couldn't help but stand out. "Madam, sir, can you
guys stop it?" 1
"Do you think I want to make a scene? Heâs the one who came inexplicably and asked me to go
with him. Iâve said that I wonât go with him already," Yvonne said dully and turned her head away.
Henry remained silent with a stern face.
Sue didn't know if she should be laughing or crying. â We can talk about this matter again since it's
not urgent. Madam, can you let us in? Weâve been in a hurry to come over since last night so we
didn't get to sleep. Weâre tired now."
"You havenât slept all night?" Yvonne was stunned.
Sue nodded. "Yes, master and I are a bit tired now."
Upon hearing this, Yvonne subconsciously looked at Henry. She noticed that his face showed that
he was indeed tired with dark circles under the eyes.
It seemed like Sue was telling the truth. They hadn't slept the whole night.
Yvonne was slightly angry inwardly when she thought about it.
Didn't he know about his current body condition?
How could he even go for a drink with his wounds from the severe whiplash? And now, he didn't
rest for the night. No matter how strong he was, his body definitely couldn't withstand this!
"Madam..." Sue called out to Yvonne when she saw her in a daze.
Her eyes flickered and she returned to reality. "Didn't you guys arrange for accommodation before
coming?â
Henry said coldly, "You're my wife. Is there a need for me to arrange other accommodations when I
come over?"
Yvonne ignored him.
She would have been really happy if this was being said by Henry in the past.
She thought that he would only say such domineering words when he accepted her as his wife.
But she felt ridiculous now. If he really treated her as his wife, how could she become like this?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lancaster. Thereâs no room here for such a great person like you. Not to mention,
weâre also getting a divorce soon. It's not appropriate for us t o stay together. So you better ask the
villagers if there are any extra rooms." Yvonne shooed him away
ruthlessly.
Henry never expected that she would kick him out even when he came here by himself. He couldn't
help but feel uncomfortable about it. A high-pitched voice could be heard behind his back when he
was about to speak, "Yvonne, these two are..."
Yvonne's expression slowly transformed into a smile when she saw the person coming towards her,
"Chief Frey, they're my..."
"Iâm her husband," Henry interrupted and said to the chief of the village.
Seeing this, Sue quickly introduced herself too. "I'm the housekeeper for sir and madam."
"You guys..." Yvonne was stunned.
Nevermind Sue, Yvonne definitely didn't expect Henry to admit to others that he was her husband.
Didn't he hate it when others found out about their relationship?
So what did he mean now?
"Oh? Husband and housekeeper?" The chief of the village looked at the both of them in surprise
and took a glance at Henry.
He was surprised by Henry's appearance at first, then he was shocked by the temperament and his
imposing manner.
He had never seen such a handsome man in his entire life. Furthermore, Henry had an impressive
bearing. Based on the judgement from the chief of the village, Henry was definitely not an ordinary
man.
"Yvonne, my dear child, is this your husband?" The chief of the village looked at Yvonne
suspiciously.
