Chapter 399 Don’t Forget the Pain When the Scar Is Healed
The doorbell was still ringing. Yanis turned around and opened the door.
Anika, Catherine, and Sophia were standing outside.
Yanis greeted them and welcomed them into the room.
Anika took the shoes for Catherine and Sophia cordially, then turned to Yanis and said, "Yanis, Zane won't be back at noon?"
Yanis replied, "Yes, Zane is busy with a bidding meeting, so he won't come back.."
Anika hummed and then helped Sophia carry the ingredients into the kitchen. Then, she went out to the living room.
When she saw the lunch box on the table, Anika asked Yanis, "Yanis, are you going to bring lunch to my brother?"
Yanis glanced at the box and replied, "No, there are snacks inside."
Surprised, Anika opened it and took a look. "Wow, did you make these snacks? They look so good."
Yanis answered with a smile, "No, it's... a gift from a neighbor."
Thinking about what Antonio did, Yanis never mentioned the Thompson family to Anika.
Anika looked at Yanis, "Can I eat?"
Yanis looked at the dessert and said, "Of course. Please!"
Anika took a bite and flattered it. Then, she took another piece and handed it to Catherine who was sitting on the sofa. "Grandma, try it, it's really delicious."
Catherine took a bite and thought it was good. She asked Yanis, "It is so kind of your neighbor."
Yanis nodded, "Yes. I'll send something over to them in return someday."
Catherine nodded.
"Yanis, do you have any plans for the future?" asked Catherine.
After eating a dessert, Catherine looked at Yanis and suddenly asked this question.
When Yanis heard these words, she was a little dazed and looked up at Catherine.
Anika explained to Catherine, "Grandma wants to know if you plan to be a housewife or do what you like. We knew that you won the design award in M Country before. That's amazing! if you still want to do design, we will support you."
Yanis hesitated for a few seconds and replied, "Yes, I will."
Catherine said, "I think you can open a studio, like the one by Bonnie."
Then, Catherine took out a bank card from her pocket and put it directly in front of Yanis. "Come on, this is my money for you. If this is not enough, I will ask Edison for more, who must have a lot of private money."
Looking at Catherine's bank card on the table, Yanis felt a bit dumbfounded.
She picked up the bank card and put it back into Catherine's pocket. "Grandma, you should keep the money yourself, and if I really need money, I will borrow from you, but now I don't need it."
Catherine looked at Yanis and said "You need money to open a studio. Did Zane support you financially?"
Yanis shook her head and explained, "I don't need money right now. I plan to work with Bonnie. She has a studio and can give me an empty room, which can be used as my office. Actually, it is not necessary to have a studio for design work, so don't worry about me."
Catherine thought Yanis didn't want to take her money, so she turned to look at Anika and asked, "Is that so?"
Anika glanced at Yanis and said, "Yanis, please take the money."
Yanis said in a low voice, "I really don't need money now. Even if I really need it, Zane will give it to me. He has never treated me badly in this respect."
In response to Yanis's reply, Catherine did not insist but added, "Okay, if you really need money in the future, please do tell me."
Yanis nodded, "Okay, thank you so much. I will definitely come to you if necessary."
Then she added, "Please take back your bank card."
"Okay, then if you need help, I'll ask Anika to bring it to you," Catherine said.
Yanis hummed, "Okay."
There were only four people, including Sophia.
Thus, she made six dishes and one soup.
Yanis might have much physical exertion, so she ate a lot.
She felt that Sophia's cooking skills had improved a lot.
After dinner, Catherine didn't stay there so long and then went out with Sophia.
She called the driver to take them away.
Anika stayed in D-king Castle with Yanis.
But as soon as Catherine and Sophia left, Bonnie's phone call came in.
Yanis answered the phone, but before she could speak, Bonnie's voice came from the phone with a bit of anger, "Yanis, are you crazy?"
Yanis was stunned by Bonnie's loud voice and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Bonnie said bitterly, "How soft-hearted you are! You cannot be so easygoing!"
Yanis replied when she heard Bonnie's words, "Did Myles tell you something?"
Bonnie was cursing on the phone, "You're hopeless. For people like them, no matter what you do, you will be wronged. If they say a few nice words to you, your heart will get softened. Have you forgotten how they treated you before? Don't forget the pain when the scar is healed!"
"No, you owe them a lot!" Bonnie added.
Knowing that Bonnie was very angry, Yanis didn't contradict her. After listening quietly, Yanis asked, "Are you awake? Are you still at Myles's?"
After Bonnie heard Yanis's words, she was speechless for a long time, as if someone had strangled her neck.
Yanis chuckled softly, "When I called you before, Myles answered the call and said you were sleeping."
Bonnie groaned, "You are so annoying, please forget about it!"
"Bonnie, it's time to eat!"
Myles's voice came vaguely from the phone.
Yanis asked, "You just got up?"
Bonnie hummed, "I will come to see you after dinner. Are you in D-king Castle?"
Yanis responded, "Yes, with Anika."
"Alright, see you soon."
Then, Bonnie hung up the phone directly.
After Yanis put down the phone, she looked at Anika, who was looking at the phone with a smile on her face.
Yanis didn't intend to look at Anika's cell phone, but she could see it easily.
Anika was chatting with someone whose image on the phone looked familiar to Yanis. When Yanis wanted to confirm it again, Anika suddenly switched the interface, so Yanis didn't recognize who it was.
"Yanis, shall we go out for a walk later?" asked Anika.
"Okay, Bonnie will come over later, and then we will go out together," said Yanis.
Anika nodded, "Okay, let's go together."
Just as they were talking, Anika's cell phone rang again. Anika leaned back unnaturally while holding the cell phone, then turned on it to reply to the message.
Driven by intuition, Yanis was more curious about who was chatting with Anika on the phone. Thinking of Anika's situation, Yanis couldn't help but ask, "Anika, are you talking to your friend?"
