I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1113

Chapter 1113: Probably Just These Few Days

After Zane finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on Lisa's end before she finally said, "Can you guarantee that?"

"I've said it. If you trust me, follow my instructions. If you don't believe in me, it's up to you," Zane's tone was calm and devoid of excess emotion.

"Alright, I trust you. I hope you can keep your word," Lisa conceded.

Zane nodded, "I don't have time to meet you today. Let's arrange another time."

"Call me when you have time," Lisa responded.

With that, Zane was about to end the call.

But just as he was about to hang up, Lisa's voice called out to him again, "Zane."

"What is it?"

"Will you take good care of Jo?"

Zane nodded, "As long as he's within my sight, he'll be fine."

Lisa chuckled, "Thank you."

Zane didn't say more and simply ended the call.

Conveniently, he had parked the car in front of D-king Castle.

Zane pocketed his phone and carried the pastries he had bought as he stepped out of the car.

Upon entering, he found only Aunt Gloria and Aunt Alice in the living room.

"Mr. Lawrence."

"Where's Yanis?" Zane changed his shoes and inquired as he glanced around.

"Mrs. Lawrence has been upstairs for quite a while," Aunt Alice responded.

Zane nodded, setting the pastries on a nearby table before heading upstairs. In the bedroom upstairs, Yanis stood by the window, her gaze distant as if she were lost in thought.

Zane placed the items he was holding on the table and approached Yanis from behind, wrapping his arms around her. "Why are you standing here?"

Yanis didn't move from her spot as she leaned back slightly against Zane's embrace. "Why did you come back all of a sudden?"

"Finished my tasks and missed you, so I came back," Zane replied, not mentioning that Aunt Alice had called him.

Yanis smiled faintly. "I can smell the pastries. Are they from that bakery?"

Zane nodded. "Do you want some?"

Yanis shook her head. "Not hungry right now."

"Then we can eat later."

With that, Zane turned her around to face him and leaned down to give her a kiss on the corner of her lips. "Tell me."

Yanis tilted her head up to look at him. "Zane."

"Yeah?"

"Kiss me again and then hold me."

Zane looked at her, not questioning her request. He leaned down and kissed her.

The kiss was tender and lingering, devoid of any tangled emotions.

After the kiss, he held her tightly in his arms.

After a while, Yanis's voice, muffled by his chest, emerged. "Uncle Baxter came again after you left. She doesn't seem to have much time left."

After hearing Yanis's words, Zane gently patted her back. "Do you want me to go with you?"

Yanis responded with a soft "Mm," and continued, "I told her I would come around noon."

Zane glanced at the time. "It's still early. Aunt Alice said you didn't eat much in the morning. Would you like something to eat?"

Yanis looked up at him. "You're cooking?"

Zane nodded. "What do you want?"

Yanis thought for a moment. "Anything you make is fine."

Zane chuckled softly. "Alright, I'll make something. Do you want to come down with me now or wait a bit?"
