"Nothing.â Yvonne shoved another spoonful of food into her mouth.
She was smiling because she found it refreshing and exciting to be eating with him in her office.
The feeling was different than when they were eating together in his office. No one was allowed to
enter his office without his permission, hence no one would be able to find out about their
relationship.
But it was different in her office. There, many people would walk in and out, someone could even
walk through her office door right then and see the both of them eating. When that happened, their
relationship would probably be exposed to the public.
Henry saw that Yvonne was being secretive and was curious as to why, but did not intend to force it
out of her. He let go of her chin and they continued to eat.
After they had eaten, Henry followed through with his words and helped Yvonne with her remaining
work.
His working capabilities were far beyond what Yvonne could ever hope to reach. By the time she
had finished handling one document, Henry had already completed two or three documents.
Very soon, the whole mountain of documents had been completely obliterated.
Yvonne stretched her back when she was done and looked at Henry gratefully. "Thank you Henry. If
it wasn't for you, I have no idea how long I would need to stay here tonight."
"Next time, don't be silly and do other people's work. The more you do it, the more they will take
advantage of you and ask for you to complete their work for them,â lectured Henry as he flicked her
on the forehead.
Yvonne shrinked her neck and said, "It's not like that, I was helping out Lynette today. She had
some urgent matters to look into, and that's why Iâm substituting for her. I wouldnât normally help
others with their work.â
"As long as you know it. Letâs go back now." Henry picked up the tupperware and headed for the
exit.
Yvonne turned off her computer and hurried behind him.
Back at the villa, Sue saw that the couple had entered the villa together and couldn't stop smiling.
"There you are, I wondered if the two of you were going to stay the night out."
"How could we?" said Yvonne with a smile.
Henry passed the tupperware to Sue. "Iâll be upstairs for a conference call. Make some tea and
bring it upstairs." "Understood sir," replied Sue.
Henry walked away, leaving Yvonne and Sue in the living room.
Sue had left the tupperware aside. "Madam, I saw Elliot this afternoon."
"Really? You saw him?â Yvonne was surprised.
She had never actually met Elliot within the villa area, whether it was before she moved out or when
she moved back in.
It was only that one time near the outskirts of the villa by the taxi stand. That was the time when she
had planned to divorce Henry and return to her village.
"Yes, I coincidentally saw him driving off in his car when I went out to receive some parcels in the
afternoon," replied Sue as she nodded.
Yvonne pondered for a few seconds. "So what do you think? Could he be Henry's brother?"
"About that..." Sue forced a wry smile. "I can't tell to be honest. There isn't any resemblance
between him and sir."
"Itâs understandable if they do not have any resemblance. Henry mentioned before that Hayden had
gotten cosmetic surgery previously.â
"Thatâs true, but there doesn't seem to be any signs of Elliot undergoing cosmetic surgery. No
matter how advanced the technology is, it's impossible to not be able to find any traces of surgery
anywhere. Thatâs why I canât tell for sure," said Sue as she sighed.
Yvonne poured herself a glass of water. "It's alright. Henry has said that he's found a way to get
Elliot's DNA. The moment he gets it, weâll be able to find out for sure if heâs Hayden or not."
"Get his DNA? I can help with that,â said Sue surprisingly. 1
Yvonne straightened her back in surprise and said," You?â
"Yes, Iâm quite familiar with the other butlers in the area. We've even got a chat group and Elliot's
butler is i n it coincidentally. I should be able to get some leads from there," said Sue as she took
out her cell phone and showed Yvonne the group that she had just mentioned.
Yvonne took a few glances and found that there were actually quite a number of people in the
group. "Wow Sue, you've got quite a vast network there, I'm impressed."
"You're too kind madam." Sue smiled in embarrassment.
Yvonne's expression turned serious. "Sue, are you confident that you'd be able to obtain Elliot's hair
sample from his butler?"
"I'm confident, leave it to me. There's nothing that can't be resolved with money.â Sue thumped her
chest confidently.
Yvonne thought about it for a few seconds. "I canât decide on this myself. I think itâd be better if we
tell Henry and see what he thinks."
"That's fine, Iâll go make some tea for you to send up to sir. You can talk to him while you're at it."
"Alright.â
Ten minutes later, Yvonne stood in front of Henry's study and knocked on the door.
Henry opened the door and was not fazed to see Yvonne standing outside the door. Instead, he
took the tray away from her and said, "Come in."
Yvonne went into the study and said, "There's something that I need to discuss with you about."
"What is it?" replied Henry as he poured some tea.
Yvonne found a chair to sit on before saying, "I was just talking to Sue downstairs just now..."
She told everything that she discussed with Sue a moment ago.
After Henry finished hearing what she said, he stopped drinking his tea and asked, "Did Sue really
say that?"
"Yes, and she's confident that she can get it done." Yvonne nodded.
Henry considered it for a moment. "Alright then, she may proceed." "You're agreeing to it?" Yvonne
looked at him.
Henry acknowledged it and said, "Grandpa's not getting any younger,and it may even be within
these few years. Therefore, I need to find Hayden as soon as possible no matter what. As long as
there's a chance, I'll never give up."
As she heard this, images of the old man's aged face and whitened hair flashed through Yvonne's
mind, and her heart suddenly felt embittered. "I'm sure Grandpa will be able to live a long life.â
Henry's lips slightly turned into a snicker. "Grandpa would be very happy if he heard you say that.â
"Iâm not boot licking, I'm serious. Grandpa will definitely live a long and healthy life," said Yvonne
firmly as she clenched both her tiny fists.
Henry's smile began to wane. "That may be so, but who knows what his actual condition is.
Previously when he got his routine checkup, the doctor said that Grandpa's stomach has begun to
malfunction and that was just the start of it. Sooner or later, his other organs would start to give in,
when that happens..." 1
"Stop.â Yvonne interrupted him. "Grandpa will be fine as long as he takes care of his health. He'll be
alright.â
Henry knew that Yvonne was obviously trying to make him feel better. As his heart melted, he
grabbed her and embraced her in his arms. "There's no need to lie to ourselves, being able to
accept the reality of the situation might not be as bad as we think. Iâll arrange for Grandpa to be in a
nursing home after a while."
"Would he agree to go though?" said Yvonne as she raised her head from within his arms with a
curious expression.
Henry lowered his head to meet her gaze. "He will, he has to go even if he doesn't want to."
"So you're ready to force Grandpa in there, you bully." Yvonne laughed.
Henry pressed his forehead against hers. "I've no choice but to be a little more aggressive, knowing
grandpa's character. If he doesn't go, he may only have three to four years left. However, if he does
get the care he needs at the nursing home, he may just live another 2 more years. Once Grandpa's
gone, you'd be the only person I have left."
Yvonne trembled for a moment and lowered her eyes." Why do you make it sound so sad? You still
have your brother you know."
"Whether or not I'll be able to find Hayden is another matter. Even if I do find him, it's very likely that
we wouldn't be able to grow close to each other," said Henry in a low voice.
Yvonne did not disagree with Henryâs statement. Even if they did manage to find Hayden, he might
not be able to accept the Lancasters seeing that he would have been separated from the
Lancasters and raised b y their enemies for the past twenty years. The chances of him and Henry
growing close to each other were quite slim.
Yvonne sighed at the thought of what would happen." Itâll be alright. Even if that really happens, you
would not only have me, but our child as well."
"Child?" Henry's pupils dilated. He pushed Yvonne farther with a surprised look on his face as he
looked a t Yvonneâs belly. "Youâre pregnant?"
