Bonnie said, "Don't you think this is a good thing?"
Yanis glanced at her.
"Discovering and solving the problem early is better than waiting until after marriage. If this kind of problem arises later, it won't be as simple as breaking up; it will involve two families."
At this point, Bonnie sighed. "I really don't understand what this woman is thinking. She says she's going to get married and become a virtuous wife and mother in the future. When else will she have the chance to be carefree if not now?"
Yanis listened to Bonnie's words and asked, "What kind of thinking is that?"
Bonnie shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe she thinks there won't be any chances for her to be carefree after getting married, so she wants to let loose before tying the knot. Who knew it would backfire like this."
Yanis didn't know how to comment on the woman's thoughts and didn't say anything more about it.
"Stella, why didn't you call me when you came?" Yanis asked.
Stella looked up at Yanis upon hearing his question but continued playing chess with Alfie. "I was afraid I'd disturb Mr. Lawrence; what if he doesn't introduce me any more business?"
Last time Zane had all female employees who were pregnant buy clothes from Stella's store with all expenses paid by him which made Stella earn a lot.
Yanis walked over and took a look at their game board,"You can't beat Alfie?"
Stella was unhappy upon hearing that remark, "Haven't you heard of surpassing your teacher? Being beaten by my own student means I have succeeded!"
Bonnie couldn't help but laugh,"You're something else! Alfie taught himself."
"I give up! Let Bonnie play!" Stella said looking towards Alfie.
Alfie nodded his head,"Aunt Stella, you're really bad. Let Bonnie play instead."
Stella rolled her eyes,"..."
Bonnie sat down in Stella's place saying,"Watch my skills."
Stella pulled Yanis out," You guys play yourselves."
"Aren't you spending your whole morning with Mr. Lawrence?" asked Stella while holding onto Yanis' arm with an eager expression on her face.
"I went for a physical examination at the hospital. What are you thinking?" replied Yanis
Upon hearing that answer from Yanis, Stella turned her head slightly towards her and asked,"Is everything okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it was just routine check-up."
Stella nodded. "It's good to have regular check-ups."
"Going to see the new apartment this afternoon?"
"Are the water and electricity over there all set?"
Stella made a sound of yes. "Basically, everything is ready. We're going to take a look at the tiles and some other things that need to be ordered in advance so we can move quickly."
"So urgent?"
"Sandy suddenly said she wanted to get married that day, so I thought I'd get the house ready before she changed her mind. That way, when it's time for us to get married, I'll have fulfilled one of my wishes."
Yanis nodded. "Okay, do you know anyone who can help? If not, we'll just go straight to International Furniture Center."
"Let's just go straight there," Stella replied.
"All right then," Yanis said before adding: "Wait for me while I use the restroom."
