Chapter 398 Why Don't You Spend My Money?
Seeing what Yanis said, Myles didn't ask further, but said, "Okay, I'll handle it and call you when I find him."
Yanis hummed, "Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"I should treat you to dinner because I happen to ask you for help in return," said Myles.
Yanis replied, "Okay."
"Okay, I will tell you as soon as I find him. See you," said Myles.
"Good," replied Yanis.
Yanis hung up the phone when the traffic light turned green. She crossed the road and returned to D-king Castle.
Near the entrance, she didn't see Olivia and Martin, who had probably left.
However, Yanis frowned slightly as she saw the package at the door.
Olivia tried to give the package to Yanis, but Yanis refused to accept it.
Thinking of what Martin said, Yanis bent over and carried the package inside the room.
As soon as she walked in, Zane called.
Yanis put the package aside. She was changing her shoes while answering Zane's phone call, "Hello, what's the matter?"
"Are you outside?" Zane's voice came from the phone.
Yanis quickly changed her shoes and replied, "Yes, I went shopping just now, and I'm back home now."
"Didn't you tell Anika to bring the ingredients here when they come over?" asked Zane.
Yanis leaned against the entrance and looked at the package on the ground. "No, I'm idle at home, so I went shopping. Anika just called and said she was going shopping with Sophia, so I just bought some groceries."
Zane suddenly called out in a low voice, "Yanis."
"Um?" Yanis asked.
"Why don't you spend my money?" said Zane.
Yanis heard Zane's words and replied, "Does it matter that I spent my money?"
In the past few years, Yanis seldom spent Zane's money after marriage, unless she didn't have enough money to buy clothes or some other luxurious items for Zane.
It was very rare when Yanis spent money given by Zane.
"Yes, it matters," said Zane.
He added in a serious voice, "Take my card from now on."
Yanis was about to refuse, but finally accepted. She replied softly, "Okay."
After that, she still couldn't help but tell Zane that Olivia and Martin had come to ask her to help Antonio.
Zane asked Yanis directly, "What do you think? If you don't want to help, then don't worry about it. I'll ask Albi to handle it."
Yanis was silent for a few seconds and said, "I asked Myles for help. After all, Myles is more familiar with the black market than you are. When he finds Antonio, Myles will send him to the rehab center. It is the last thing I can do for my family."
"It's up to you. I owe Myles this favor," said Zane.
Hearing Zane's response, Yanis subconsciously wanted to explain that Zane should not be bothered by the matters of her family.
But thinking of Zane's words just now, Yanis didn't say that, but replied, "We'll invite him to dinner with Bonnie then."
Zane responded, "Okay."
Yanis could vaguely hear Albi's voice.
"Mr. Lawrence, lunch ready," said Albi.
"You ordered takeaway again?" asked Zane.
Zane explained, "There will be a bidding meeting later. Albi and I will go over to have a look, so I ordered takeaway in advance. Not so often, I usually eat in the company cafeteria."
"Tomorrow, I'll take the food to you. It is better not to eat so many takeaways."
Zane didn't refuse when he heard Yanis's words. "We'll talk about it later when I get back."
Yanis hummed, "Go eat now, and I'll clean up. Grandma and Anika will come over later."
Zane responded in a low voice, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Yanis turned around and put the phone on the shoe cabinet behind her. Then she stepped forward and carried the package into the living room together with her shopping bag.
Martin's words flashed through Yanis's mind again.
Yanis put the shopping bag aside and then opened the package Olivia brought.
Inside was a milky white square multi-layered lunch box.
When Yanis opened the box and saw the food inside, her eyes blurred with tears, as if she couldn't see clearly what was in front of her, but a moment later, she controlled her emotions.
In the lunch box, there were small handmade snacks in various shapes.
Yanis loved these little snacks Olivia made in her childhood, but they used to be exclusive for Antonio.
She remembered clearly what had happened one day when Antonia didn't come back from school.
After Olivia made the snacks, Yanis wanted to take one. However, Olivia slapped Yanis on her hand when Yanis took a bite.
Olivia slapped so violently that her fingerprint was left on the back of Yanis's hand instantly.
She hysterically scolded Yanis like a stepmother.
At that time, Yanis was so scared that she even forgot to cry.
Olivia shouted at Yanis, "Is this something you can eat? I made this for Antonio!"
Holding the rest part of the snack in her hand, Yanis chewed the piece and didn't swallow it. She just kept it in her mouth helplessly.
Olivia cursed Yanis for a while and even poked Yanis's forehead many times to vent her anger. For Yanis, she was standing still with humiliation.
Actually, Olivia didn't abuse Yanis seriously, but Yanis felt so painful that she even couldn't cry anymore.
After that, Yanis never dared to take Olivia's snacks.
Sometimes Olivia showed some mercy and gave Yanis some snacks.
It was because Antonio didn't like the shapes of the snacks, thus Yanis had the chance to access the snacks.
However, Yanis didn't eat the snacks but fed the stray cats in the alleys on her way to school.
After that, Yanis never touched such snacks again.
Now looking at these snacks that originally belonged to Antonio, Yanis was filled with a complicated feeling.
She seemed to be looking for a breakthrough and a suitable opportunity to vent her grief.
In the end, Yanis couldn't help but take the star-shaped snack she liked, and brought it to her mouth for a bite.
The taste was still the same as before, but Yanis had no appetite anymore.
For a moment, she even felt that she were stealing snacks that belonged to Antonio.
Would Olivia show up from somewhere suddenly and give her a slap?
But after she swallowed the snack, Olivia didn't appear.
However, Yanis didn't take a second bite and threw the rest of the snack into the dustbin
She thought about throwing away the rest of the snacks in this box, but before she could reach the lunch box, the doorbell rang.
Yanis involuntarily withdrew her hand.
