Chapter 417: It Was Not a Real Divorce
At the same time, in the Lawrence Group's Building.
The president's office was on the top floor.
Zane saw Yanis suddenly hang up the call, the corners of his lips lifted, and he couldn't stop smiling.
Just as he was about to call again, someone knocked on the door of his office.
Zane paused, put the phone on the table, and raised his eyes. "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Albi walked in first. "Mr. Lawrence is here."
Miller followed Albi into the room.
Zane looked up at Miller, then stood up. "What brings you here?"
Miller walked towards the lounge area and said as he walked, "Are you done?"
Zane hummed. "Do you want something to drink? Coffee or something else?"
Miller sat down on one side of the sofa. "No, I'm good."
When Albi heard Miller's words, he left the office and gave privacy to Zane and Miller.
After Albi left the office, Zane personally helped Miller get a glass of water and put it in front of him.
Then he sat down in the seat opposite Miller.
After being busy with Lawrence Group's business, it was the first time that the father and son sat together for a serious talk.
"When will you and Yanis remarry?"
Zane was a bit taken aback by Miller's sudden question, but he quickly came back to his senses. "There is no need."
After hearing Zane's words, Miller looked up at him abruptly. "What do you mean?"
Zane said in a low voice, "We haven't really divorced in law."
Miller looked at Zane in shock.
Zane did not hide the truth from Miller and generally told him .
When he was with Yanis back then, it was indeed an agreement, and it was even clearly written in black and white.
Either the five-year period expired, or Neve came back, and they would divorce.
It was just that sometimes the meaning expressed by the wording depended on how it was understood.
And it could be interpreted in different ways by different people.
Back then, Yanis didn't ask any question. Maybe she just took a pen and signed it without carefully reading what was actually written in the agreement at that time.
Zane looked at it and felt that Yanis was really naive.
To put it nicely, Yanis was naive, but to put it harshly, Yanis was stupid.
It was just that Zane didn't think so much at the time, and he naturally had his own plans in mind.
So, he quickly got the marriage certificate with Yanis.
The reason why he went to find Yanis in the first place was probably that she ran into his arms when they met for the first time.
If it wasn't for the wall behind him, both of them would have fallen to the ground.
When his back hit the wall, he felt like he was going to be smashed right into the wall.
It was clear that she had bumped into him, but before he could speak, she preempted him and asked aggressively, "Don't you look at the road when you walk? Don't you know how to avoid people when you see them?"
Before he could refute it, the little girl blushed suddenly, then turned and ran away.
He seemed frozen in place, watching the petite figure run away before he returned to his senses.
So, for him, he didn't fall in love with Yanis during the five years of marriage.
But it was premeditated.
From the time she threw herself into his arms, to graduating from high school and college and then starting to work, he admitted that he had really thought about Neve back then, but it was just a momentary trance.
Because at a certain moment, he seemed to see the figure of another person in Neve, and only then did he have that momentary trance.
Being able to get along with Neve might have been because of their blood tie, which made him feel that Neve was a good girl, or it was because of some thoughts in his heart, which made him a little confused and couldn't tell what the feeling really was. Was it from Neve or his longing for someone?
Before Neve had planned on him, he also thought about just staying with Neve like this.
But he didn't expect that at that time, everyone in the Lawrence family, except Lucia, opposed him being with Neve.
Including Anika.
In the beginning, he also didn't understand why everyone was against it.
But after what happened with Neve and those episodes which let him down came one after another, he finally woke up.
It turned out that his feeling for Neve was only because Neve looked like another person for a certain moment.
Later, when Neve left Manches City and the Lawrence family began arranging various blind dates for him, Yanis became his first choice.
When he understood what kind of person Neve was, he made everyone feel that he and Yanis didn't have a good relationship.
Even Yanis felt that he only had Neve in his heart.
He lied to everyone, including himself.
He wanted to protect Anika and make sure Yanis would not become the next Anika.
So, these years, he even lied to himself.
He thought that what he did was for Yanis and to protect her.
Yet, the person who hurt her the most was neither Neve nor a member of the Lawrence family, but himself.
After hearing what Zane said about the past, Miller was silent for a long time before asking, "Does Yanis know about this?"
Zane shook his head. "She doesn't know yet."
"Aren't you going to confess to her?"
Zane tightened his folded fingers slightly. "I'll wait for a good moment."
Miller nodded. "Yanis has also suffered many grievances over the years, and these grievances have all been caused by you personally."
Zane hummed. "I know."
After speaking, Zane looked up at Miller. "You came here just to ask me when I'm going to remarry Yanis?"
When Miller heard Zane's words, the expression on his face was obviously unnatural.
Zane didn't push him and sat quietly waiting for Miller to speak.
After a ehile, Miller said, "A phone call came from the detention center, saying she tried to kill herself out of blue while we were having dinner last night, and she almost died."
After hearing Miller's words, Zane was silent for a few seconds. "Are you going to take a look?"
Miller did not immediately respond to Zane's words but extended his hand to take the water that Zane had poured just now. He held the water glass, and gently rubbed the glass with his fingers. "I'll go and have a check."
"Then I'll ask Albi to take you there."
No matter what Lucia did, no matter how heinous she was, she was an important person to Miller.
Miller probably gave Lucia all the good things in his life.
Zane was not Miller.
Therefore, some decisions couldn't be made by Miller, nor could he make any choices for himself. Miller waved his hand, reached out, and put the water glass on the table. He said gently, "No need to drive me there. I'll go and have a look by myself."
