I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1080

Chapter 1080: This Is Fate

Lisa took a deep breath and whispered, "He's not just anyone, he's your cousin."

"Are you trying to give me away?" Jo persistently looked at Lisa.

Meeting Jo's gaze, Lisa suddenly felt a tightening in her chest. She had intended to explain, but her words took an unexpected turn. "Jo, don't you want your dad? Don't you want your family?"

With teary eyes, Jo gazed at Lisa. "But I want you more."

Lisa had words of persuasion on her lips, but they remained unsaid.

After staring at Jo without speaking for a while, Lisa finally came to her senses and led Jo away from D-king Castle.

After Lisa left, Aunt Alice informed Zane, "Mr. Lawrence, she's gone."

Zane acknowledged with a sound and went into the bedroom.

Upon entering the room, Zane found Yanis awake, propped up on the bed lost in thought.

Hearing his footsteps, Yanis looked at Zane.

Zane sat down by the bedside and asked, "Still feeling uncomfortable?"

Yanis shook her head and softly inquired, "Did someone come to the house just now?"

Realizing that Yanis must have heard something, Zane decided not to hide it. "Lisa came with Jo."

Curious, Yanis asked, "What did she want?"

Zane hadn't told Yanis about Lisa's request before. So, hesitating for a few seconds, he finally explained, "She wanted Jo to stay with me rather than Uncle Dylan."

Yanis was taken aback by Zane's words. "Why would she want Jo to stay with you instead of Uncle Dylan?"

Zane explained in a low voice, "If Jo stays with Uncle Dylan, Lisa might have a hard time seeing him in the future. It could lead to conflicts. But if Jo stays with me, she knows she can see him whenever she wants. She knows I won't stand in the way."

Just like Lisa had said, out of respect for Lucia, Zane wouldn't prevent the mother and son from seeing each other.

After listening to Zane, Yanis fell silent for a while before asking, "Did you refuse?"

Zane nodded but didn't elaborate. He changed the subject. "Would you like something to eat?"

Yanis shook her head. "I'm not hungry. I want some water."

Zane acknowledged and got up to get Yanis some water.

"You're not going to the office today?"

Zane placed the glass of water on the side table and replied, "I told Albi I won't be going to the office today."

Yanis didn't say anything more and simply nodded. "Then stay at home."

Yanis lay on Zane's lap for a while before dozing off again. She slept until noon this time.

When Yanis woke up, she found herself alone in the room. She got up, freshened up a bit, and headed downstairs.

Downstairs, Yanis didn't spot Zane. She was about to call out when she saw three figures in the kitchen. She approached the kitchen door.

Standing at the entrance for a while, Yanis finally called out, "Zane."

Upon hearing Yanis's voice, Zane turned around. Seeing her standing there, he walked over. "Awake? Feeling any discomfort?"

Yanis shook her head and then asked, "What are you guys doing?"

"Mr. Lawrence wanted to make some small snacks for you, so he's learning from us," Aunt Alice chimed in.

Observing Zane covered in flour, even on his face, Yanis couldn't help but chuckle. She raised her hand and wiped the flour off his face. "How did you know I wanted snacks?"

Zane replied, "Just guessed."

Initially, Zane had planned to call Olivia to have her make the snacks and deliver them. But he decided to give it a shot himself. He asked Olivia for the recipe and had Aunt Alice and Aunt Gloria help out.
