I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 487

Chapter 487 Fear of your displeasure

Sophia responded, "Yeah."
Anika said, "I'll be back later."
After hanging up the phone, Anika turned to Iris and Mr. Morris, "I can't go to dinner with you guys, I have something at home and I have to go back."
Mr. Morris looked at Anika, "Is it urgent?"
Anika nodded, "It's urgent."
"I'll talk to Mr. Duncan at ...."
"Some other time." Iris interrupted Mr. Morris, "I'll eat with Anika some other time."
Hearing Iris say that, Mr. Morris nodded, "Okay then, next time then."
"Where to? Shall I drive you there?" Iris walked out of Antique City side by side with Anika.
"I'll just take a cab myself, the Duncan family and the Lawrence family old house are not on the same road, it's quite a detour."
Iris put her things in the car, "It's okay, I don't have anything to do, it's just a roundabout thing."
Anika hesitated, but got into Iris' car.
At this time of day, there are not many cars on the road, so soon the car stopped at the Lawrence family's old house.
"Why don't we go down and go in together, my sister-in-law and the others are also there." Anika unbuckled her seat belt, turned her face to Iris and said softly.
Iris smiled and said in response, "No, it's not appropriate."
When Anika saw Iris say that, she didn't say anything else, "Thanks for the ride back."
Iris nodded her head, "Go inside."
Anika answered, opened the door and got out of the car, "Drive slowly."
Anika stood at the door and watched Iris's car drive away before she withdrew her eyes and turned around to enter the door.
When Anika entered, the living room was full of people.
Anika greeted the elders first, then went up and sat down next to Yanis and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, my brother hasn't come back yet?"
Yanis answered, "He should be home soon."
As she was talking, the door was opened again and Zane came in from outside.
When Zane saw the person sitting in the living room talking to the old Mr. Lawrence, his eyebrows twitched slightly and almost immediately he looked at Yanis who was sitting on the other side.
Yanis looked up at Zane and smiled at him.
Zane, seeing Yanis like this, felt a little more at ease and went up to greet the old Mr. Lawrence and the others first.
"The old Mr. Griffiths, long time no see."
The old Mr. Griffiths nodded, "It's been a long time indeed, Lana was talking about you earlier."
Although this is the old Mr. Griffiths randomly said, but at this time fell on the ears, it is another thing.
But the comment only caused a brief, subtle reaction, not a major upheaval.
After greeting Yanis, Zane went to Yanis's other side and sat down. He naturally took Yanis's hand in his and squeezed it gently, then looked at Anika who was sitting on the other side of Yanis, "Didn't you go to Antique City, why are you back?"
Anika said, "Sophia called and said you guys were there, so I came back."
"Get ready, it's time to eat."
At that moment, Sophia came from the dining room and whispered.
the old Mr. Lawrence greeted the people and went to eat.
"I'll go call Grandma for dinner."
the old Mrs. Lawrence was a little uncomfortable, and that would come out to talk to Yanis for a while, then go back to the room.
Zane got up when Yanis got up and stood up after him, "I'll go with you."
"Brother, you're like that now, you're all glued to your sister-in-law." Anika looked at Zane with disgust.
Zane raised his hand and rubbed a hand on Anika's head, "You don't understand."
Anika nodded, "Yes yes yes, I don't understand, you guys hurry up and go shout at grandma."
"You're as close to your brother as ever."
After Zane left with Yanis, a female voice rang out beside her.
Anika sniffed, withdrew her eyes, and responded, "We've always been like that."
Only after she finished her voice did Anika turn her face to Lana, who was standing beside her, "It's been a long time, Lana."
Lana smiled, "It's been a long time."
Anika and Lana only know each other, not so well that they can talk.
Although Lana was often with Zane when he was young, Anika was not in the Lawrence family at that time, so at best, they knew each other.
"Anika, has your brother always been this close to Miss Thompson?"
Anika was about to go to the restaurant, but stopped in her tracks when she heard Lana's words, "Yes, it's always been this good, and it's going to be even better."
Lana smiled after hearing Anika's words, "Anika, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
Anika's lips also brought Anika first, "What misunderstanding can I have about Lana, we haven't seen each other for years, and if I remember correctly, this is the first time we met after you came back to Manches City, right?"
Anika's voice was warm and soft, and the words she spoke were not warm at all.
The smile on Lana's face froze, and then she took Anika's hand in a proactive and intimate way, "Not really, I just don't think we're as close as we were before."
Anika wanted to say, "We weren't that close before.
But Anika just smiled, "Let's go eat."
As she spoke, Anika unobtrusively pulled her hand out of Lana's hand and lifted her feet towards the restaurant.
Lana looked at Anika's back, her delicately drawn fine eyebrows knitted up slightly, and in the twinkling of an eye, she suppressed those unhappy emotions and followed into the restaurant.
"Why didn't you tell me Lana was there?" Zane asked softly as he walked towards the old Mrs. Lawrence's room, holding Yanis' hand.
Yanis responded, "The old Mr. Griffiths was here when I arrived, she came over after."
Zane looked at her sideways, "If she says anything, don't take it to heart."
Yanis looked up to meet his eyes, "Mr. Lawrence, why are you so nervous?"
Zane glanced back at the living room, and then pulled Yanis into the study, "I'm afraid you're not happy."
Yanis raised his hand against the man, "Let's go call Grandma to eat ... well ..."
The rest of the words were swallowed between the lips and teeth.
A soft kiss fell on her lips and gently bit her, "Don't want you to misunderstand anything or be unhappy."
Yanis looked at the person who was so close to her, "I didn't misunderstand and I wasn't unhappy."
Zane leaned down slightly and rested his chin on her shoulder, "I want to do this."
Yanis listened to his words and the corners of her lips lifted into a smile, "I know."
Zane hmmed, but still didn't get up, instead he took Yanis into his arms, hugged her for a while before releasing his hand, took Yanis out of the study and went to call the old Mrs. Lawrence.
"Grandma? Let's go eat." Yanis went up and called out softly.
The old Mrs. Lawrence didn't fall asleep much and opened her eyes when she heard the movement and saw Zane was there, "Zane is back too."
Zane answered, "I just got home, so I came with Yanis to call you for dinner."
As he spoke, Zane reached out and helped the old Mrs. Lawrence up from the bed, "Did you have the doctor come and see him?"
