Chapter 114 Recorded In The Family Tree
Henry ignored her obvious question. After unknotting the string, he bowed slightly to ce the jade
pendant over Yvonne’s neck.
"Done, let''s go.” He was the first to head toward the direction Master Lancaster left in.
Yvonne was still dazed. It took her a while to regain herposure.
While she ran for Henry, she held the jade pendant around her neck.
The pendant was not big - it fit perfectly in her palm. Yvonne could even feel the lingering warmth
on it, left by Henry. It spread to her heart through her palm.
"Henry, thank you!" Those were Yvonne’s first words t o Henry when she caught up to him.
Henry raised a brow at that. "For?"
Yvonne waved the pendant around her neck. "This, of course."
He had personally put it on for her and she thought that she might be reluctant to take it off when
she wanted to.
Nheless, Henry misunderstood her as he pursed his lips together. "You should thank Grandpa.
Grandpa gave it to you, not me."
"I don''t mean... Nevermind, this will do." Yvonne beamed.
She wanted to exin that she was thanking him for personally putting the pendant on her but she
suddenly felt that it was unnecessary. The misunderstanding felt nice too!
"Henry, Frederick’s calling us." Yvonne pointed at the front.
Following the finger with his gaze, Henry quickened his pace. Not expecting the eleration,
Yvonne jogged to catch up with him. When they reached the old man, she was already panting
while Henry looked fine as usual.
Yvonne was swiftly filled with indignation. Was having long legs very impressive?
Although she grumbled in her heart, she was more proud than vexed. Yvonne’s eyes were glossed
with infatuation as she scrutinized Henry''s legs discreetly. Ah, he was truly her subject of
admiration. His hips and his legs were impable.
"Ouch!" The sudden p on the back of her head caused Yvonne to cry out.
Henry looked at her with a straight face. "Keep your weird gaze away. The remembrance day
ceremony is starting."
Yvonne promptly schooled her expression and kept her thoughts in check, emting the grim looks
of others as she looked forward.
Master Lancaster was honoring the ancestor tes in front. Behind him, Yvonne and Henry
followed. The remembrance day ceremony was a tedious and lengthy process. After honoring the
ancestors, they had to listen to a long speech.
Yvonne did not quite understand it, but she could only force herself to listen to it seriously lest she
dozes off during the formal asion. When the speech was finally over and she thought that the
ceremony wasing to an end, it surprised her when Master Lancaster asked for her again.
He was not gifting her anything this time. He was going to write down her name personally on the
family tree record.
Looking at her name being written down next to Henry''s, Yvonne held her hands together
emotionally and braced herself to ask, "Grandpa, am I now officially Lancasters’ granddaughter-in-
"That’s right." The old man wore a kind smile.
Tears brimmed Yvonne’s eyes again from how happy she was. "It’s wonderful...”
“Be nice to each other with Henry." Master Lancaster patted the back of her hand.
Yvonne nodded fervently. "I will."
She loved Henry. Of course she would be nice to him. A s long as Henry did not abandon her, she
would stay b y his side her entire life.
"Alright, go back to Henry. Don''t be alone lest people with ulterior motivese to you," reminded
the old man.
Yvonne made a sound of acknowledgment and jogged away with a wave of the hand.
Henry was spending time with a few elders in the family at the lounge when Yvonne reached him.
Without interrupting, she softened her steps to stand behind him but Henry had already noticed her
presence. He paused the conversation and turned to her. "What did Grandpa need you for?"
"Grandpa recorded my name on the family tree." Yvonne''s eyes turned into crescents when she
answered.
Henry hummed. "I see. There''s nothing else after this. You can go back to the room first."
"Sure." Yvonne nodded after ncing at the elders.
Summoning a servant, Henry asked the servant to take Yvonne back.
With the servant''s lead, Yvonne returned to the room smoothly without meeting any troublemakers.
She wondered if those people dared not or thought it unnecessary to instigate a discord. Whichever
it was, she was relieved. It was better to have nothing happen than something.
Yawning, Yvonne took off her shoes and snuggled herself into the bed to take a nap. The napsted
until afternoon, the sky darkening from thepse of time.
Yvonne sat up rubbing her eyes and caught Henry who was going through some documents on a
chair in the room from the corners of her eyes.
"Henry?” she called out softly.
Without looking up, Henry replied, "You''re awake?”
"Mm.” Yvonne stretchedzily.
Henry responded with a light snort. "You took quite the nap. The branch families have all left."
"All of them?" Yvonne was surprised. "What time is it now?”
"Seven.” Henry signed the document he was going through.
Yvonne swallowed and probed, "Seven in the evening?"
"What else?" Henry questioned back.
The corner of Yvonne''s lips twitched. "How could I''ve slept for so long...”
"Six hours!" Henry dered the exact length of time.
When he went back to the room to ask her to eat, she was sound asleep. He called her twice but it
was in vain. If Henry was not sure that she was asleep, he would have thought that she had fainted.
1 “Sorry, I didn''t expect to have slept so long either. I was thinking of a short nap." Yvonne was
abashed. She did not even feel like she had slept for six hours.
"No need to apologize. It’s time for dinner." Henry put down the pen in his grip.
"Okay.” Yvonne got off the bed and got changed.
When both of them arrived at the dining table, Master Lancaster was already waiting for them.
He asked in concern when he saw them, "Yvonne, do you feel unwell anywhere?"
"No, I feel fine. Thank you for asking, Grandpa." Yvonne waved her hands in dismissal as she sat
down.
The old man was bewildered. "Why did you sleep so long then?"
Flustered, Yvonne mumbled, "Maybe I didn’t sleep so well these days so I identally took a long
nap."
"I see," Master Lancaster sighed in regret. 1
He thought that she was sleeping so much from being pregnant and thought of asking a doctor to
check her. Looking at her now, however, it seemed that she might really be fine.
"Grandpa, let''s eat." Henry ced a piece of fish on the old man’s te and diverted the topic.
Master Lancaster merely gave him a re before beginning to eat.
After dinner, Yvonne left the family residence with
Henry to go back to their vi.
Henry went upstairs after he received a phone call when they returned, leaving Yvonne in the living
room.
Sue took over the bag in Yvonne’s hands. "Madam, did the remembrance day go well today?"
"Without a hup," replied Yvonne with a smile.
She had thought that people might pick at her but nothing happened. Her worry and restlessness
were for nothing. It could be due to her sleeping, too, that exempted her from those people.
"That''s good then." Sue heaved a relieved breath and asked again, "Right, madam, are you
recorded in the family tree now?"
"Yes, and Grandpa gave me this too." Yvonne took out the jade pendant on her neck.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Sue was happy for her when she saw it." Congrattions, madam."
"Thank you." Yvonne toyed with the pendant fondly.
Buzz!
Her phone vibrated out of the blue.
"I''ll pick this one up," Yvonne told Sue and stuffed the pendant back under her clothes before she
fished her phone out from her bag.
When she saw the caller ID, she pursed her lips. "Why i s it him?"
