I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1108

Chapter 1108: Not Much to Miss After a Meeting

The next morning, Sandy returned to Manches City with Stella.

Brandon saw them off at the airport and repeatedly gave a few more instructions before letting them go in.

"Why does Brandon treat you like a child?" Stella whispered as they walked.

Sandy turned around three times before answering Stella's question after Brandon was out of sight, "He loves me."

Stella: "..."

"Since you're coming back to Manches City with me, you have responsibilities. You're part of the Hawkins family now. When you're back there, behave properly, okay?"

Sandy pouted, "Stella, why are you becoming like Brandon? I've been hearing his nagging for the past two days."

"It's all because he's worried about you. Don't think that just because no one's overseeing you now, you can do whatever you want."

Sandy hooked her arm through Stella's, "Sis, don't worry. I know my situation pretty well now. I'll make sure to call you when I'm heading out. It won't be like before, when I was clueless."

Stella felt relieved hearing Sandy's words.

...

Manches City, D-king Castle.

Yanis had been unable to stay awake lately.

During the day, she would finish lunch and then lie down on the sofa, sleeping until it was time for a few bites of dinner. Afterward, she would watch TV for a while. Sometimes, she would fall asleep before a single episode was over. This nap would continue until the time for dinner, and she would wake up naturally without needing anyone to call her.

In the evening, after dinner, if Zane didn't coax her out for a walk, she might fall asleep again.

"Alice, why is Mrs. Lawrence sleeping again?" Aunt Gloria had just finished washing the fruit and asked Yanis to eat some. But as soon as she came out of the kitchen, Yanis was already asleep on the couch.

Aunt Alice, hearing the question, peeked out of the kitchen and saw Yanis sleeping on the couch. She sighed, "She might be having excessive sleepiness for a while. But it's better than the morning sickness like Miss Thompson's. That's much worse."

"Kids nowadays, their constitutions are weak." Aunt Gloria put the fruit back, "I'll go get a blanket to cover Mrs. Lawrence."

Aunt Alice nodded, "Mrs. Lawrence mentioned that she wanted to eat shrimp dumplings today. I'll go buy the ingredients."

Aunt Gloria agreed, and then went to find a blanket for Yanis.

Just as Aunt Gloria was about to get up to prepare the ingredients for the shrimp dumplings, the doorbell rang.

Thinking it was Aunt Alice, Aunt Gloria was mumbling about why the doorbell was rung again, when she opened the door and her words trailed off.

Ryan was standing at the door, looking a bit awkward.

Aunt Gloria had heard about some things, so for a moment, she wasn't sure whether to invite him in or to call for Yanis to wake up.

As Aunt Gloria hesitated, Ryan spoke first, "I'm here to see Yanis, I have something I want to talk to her about. Is she home?"

Aunt Gloria decided to let the guest in, "You can come in first. Mrs. Lawrence is asleep."

Ryan didn't immediately enter like Aunt Gloria, he stood at the doorstep and said softly, "Could you please help me call her in?"

Seeing Ryan's determination, Aunt Gloria didn't say anything more, just nodded, turned, and walked towards the living room.

When she stood in front of Yanis, Aunt Gloria softly called Yanis a few times.

Yanis slowly opened her eyes and looked at Aunt Gloria in front of her, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Gloria helped her sit up, "Mrs. Lawrence, there's a gentleman outside looking for you."
