Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 730 Pity But Detestable

"I understand, which means if Mandy and her mother did anything that conflicts with his interests, he'll immediately turn against them?" Sue raised her chin a s she suddenly realized. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Yvonne snapped her fingers. "Yes, that’s what I meant. The mother and daughter haven’t crossed Mr. Lovett's bottom line, so he's still willing to be a father and husband, but I think he won't play the role as a husband and father for long."

"Why?" Sue was puzzled.

Yvonne narrowed her beautiful apricot eyes. "Based o n how dedicated Mandy is to Henry, do you think she'll just go back to her country obediently? I don’t think so. Mandy will definitely find a way to stay in Canada, and Mrs. Lovett will definitely help her."

"Madam, how are you so sure?" Sue was surprised.

Yvonne adjusted her sitting posture. After sitting in the same posture for a long time, her hip and back would ache.

Especially since she was pregnant now, she felt uncomfortable after sitting for a while. 1

After changing her posture, Yvonne replied, "Mrs. Lovett and Mandy are the same kind of people. Mrs. Lovett was the one who brought Mandy up after all. To put it bluntly, people like Mrs. Lovett only admire

vanity; otherwise, she wouldn't be a mistress and drive the legitimate wife away. Not only was she a mistress herself, but she also let her daughter follow i n her footsteps. So what does this mean?"

"What does it mean?" Sue repeated her words. She obviously did not fully understand what Yvonne meant.

Yvonne smiled. "This shows that Mrs. Lovett is very selfish and her love for Mandy isn't pure. She sees Mandy as a chess piece, a chess piece that could help elevate her status and prosperity."

Sue let out a sigh of relief when she heard this." Neither the husband nor the wife truly loves their daughter, so Mandy is actually kind of pitiful."

Yvonne was noncommittal about this.

Was Mandy pitiful?

The answer was yes.

She had such parents after all.

But Mandy was also quite detestable. Although it was Mrs. Lovett who instilled those values in her, she went to school since she was a child, so it would be unlikely that she hadn't learned that those things were wrong. 1

But Mandy still did not change and she still genuinely believed in Mrs. Lovett's values, which meant that Mandy herself was bad anyway.

"Mrs. Lovett wants Mandy to marry up. By doing so, Mrs. Lovett's status and prestige can be better because of Mandy, so she hopes that Mandy will take Henry away and become Mrs. Lancaster. After all, if that happens, Mrs. Lovett will then become the mother of Mrs. Lancaster," Yvonne flicked her nails and said.

Sue rolled her eyes in disdain. "Such wishful thinking. H

"Yeah, I have to say that I admire people who dare to think like that. That's why I said that Mrs. Lovett will definitely help Mandy stay in the country. Let's wait and see."

After Yvonne said that, she picked up the milk that she had not finished and continued drinking.

In the evening, when a few of them were eating, Yvonne's cell phone suddenly rang.

She put down her spoon, picked up the cell phone, and put it on speaker before placing it on the table. "Hello."

"Miss, there’s a situation about the person you asked m e to watch," the person on the other end of the phone said.

Henry looked at her. "Watch? Who are you watching?"

Elliot also looked over curiously.

Yvonne opened her mouth slowly and spat out two words, "Mandy Lovett."

Henry's eyes flashed with disgust. "Why are you watching her?" "I want to know if she'll actually return home with Mr.

Lovett obediently." Yvonne smiled.

Elliot pouted, "Definitely not. She’s so determined to get your husband. Why would she return home obediently before getting your husband?"

As Elliot said that, he looked at Henry with a smile.

Henry stared at him coldly as if he was telling him that he was talking too much.

Elliot was not afraid either. He shrugged his shoulders and put a piece of meat into his mouth as he started chewing and finally swallowed.

Yvonne continued to ask the person on the other end o f the phone, "What’s the situation?"

"Mandy ran away, just as you guessed," the person on the call answered.

Sue covered her lips. "It actually happened!"

The smile on Yvonne's face deepened, but her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes as her eyes were cold. "Does Mr. Lovett know?"

"Mr. Lovett doesn't know yet. Mrs. Lovett bought sleeping pills to make him fall asleep, and then secretly helped Mandy escape. She then had the sleeping pills herself to fake the scene that they were both drugged by Mandy."

"It seems like Mrs. Lovett doesn't want Mr. Lovett to put the blame on her." Elliot spun his spoon.

Henry narrowed his eyes and said nothing. 1

Yvonne asked again, "Can you find out how Mrs. Lovett administered the medicine?"

"Yes, I can get the hotel surveillance," the person on the other end of the phone replied.

Yvonne curled her lips and said, "Very well. Send me a copy of the surveillance as backup. Also, keep following Mandy the whole time. I want to know everything about her whereabouts."

Since Mandy escaped, she would definitely do something.

Yvonne must be extra cautious.

"Yes," the person on the other end of the phone responded.

After that, the call ended and Yvonne put away her cell phone. "Mandy has escaped. It looks like she’s about to make a big move."

As she said that, she looked at Henry.

Henry's face darkened, obviously understanding the meaning of her words.

She obviously meant that after Mandy escaped, she would definitely do even more to seduce him so that she could become his wife.

Did she really think that he was the kind of man with no principle?

As Henry thought about this, he took a sip of the soup and said coldly, "She can do whatever she wants-Hl

just kill her with a bat."

"Hah!" Elliot smiled. "You really don't have any compassion for the fair lady."

"I'll let you have the fair lady to have compassion for. D o you want that?" Henry gave him a cold look.

Elliot waved his hand quickly. "No no, I don’t deserve i t. You should save it for yourself, haha."

Henry didn't bother talking to him so he retracted his gaze. He then got a piece of boneless fish for Yvonne." Tomorrow is the day for the prenatal checkup, right?"

Yvonne thought about it for a while and realized that i t was indeed true. She nodded. "I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly. I forgot about it."

"I always remember things about you and our children very clearly." Henry gave Theo a piece of fish as well.

Theo thoughtfully thanked him before he lowered his head and ate the fish.

Henry looked at the little guy and his heart softened. H e couldn't help but reach out and touch the little guy's fair and tender face.

His face was soft and very comfortable to the touch, which was extremely lovable.

Henry touched him and was reluctant to let go.

If it was not for the fear of affecting Theo’s meal, he actually did not want to let go.

"Really?" Yvonne raised her eyebrows, obviously not

convinced.

Before Henry could speak, Sue helped him by replying, "Madam, it's true. I saw sir reading a book about pregnancy two days ago."

"Speaking of this, I have something to say too." Elliot put down his spoon and looked at Yvonne. "Yvonne, although I despise Henry, Sue's words are actually true. I also saw the books about pregnancy in his office."

"Really?" Yvonne was really surprised. She looked at Henry and for a long while-she was speechless.

Henry pursed his thin lips and it took him a long time to say, "Really!" 1

He read those books because he wanted to learn more about pregnancy. That way, he would be able to react i n time whenever she felt uncomfortable.

But this was not what touched him the most. What touched him the most was the fact that after reading those books, he realized how difficult and dangerous i t was for a woman to be pregnant with a child.

When Yvonne was pregnant with Theo, her whole body was burned by the fire. He did not know how she endured the pain during her treatment.

As Henry thought about this, he felt as if his heart was getting violently grabbed by someone.
