I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 734

Chapter 734: The Matter of Our Engagement

As Yanis listened to Ivan's words, she nodded slightly. "I don't blame Aunt Baxter. From her perspective, she was just worried about you."

Ivan looked at Yanis, opened his mouth as if to say something, but hesitated for a few seconds before swallowing his words. "She's always stubborn. Sometimes she doesn't listen to advice. After Mila told me, I talked to her about it. I actually wanted her to come and apologize to you in person, but..."

"Ivan, it's not necessary. If a similar situation happened to me, I might have reacted even more decisively than Aunt Baxter. Every mother wants their child to be safe, so I understand her concerns. Besides, that incident happened because of me," Yanis interjected.

Ivan wanted to say something, but Yanis beat him to it. "Alright, let's not bring it up anymore. It's all in the past."

Meeting Yanis' gaze, Ivan nodded gently. "By the way, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to call me. Did you need something?"

Yanis responded, "I haven't been to the shop for the past couple of days, and Bonnie has sold a lot of things. The display case is empty. I thought of going there to pick out some items."

"Well, I'm free now. Let's go together and take a look. I also wanted to go there," Ivan suggested.

Yanis checked the time on her phone and nodded. "Okay, wait for me a moment. I'll let Bonnie know."

Ivan got up and followed Yanis, but after walking a few steps, his phone started ringing. Instead of going with Yanis to Bonnie's place, Ivan turned around and went to the entrance to answer the call.

It was a call from Mila.

Ivan picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Did you go to Yanis' place?" Mila's voice came through the phone.

Ivan responded, "I just arrived a little while ago. I was planning to go with Yanis to the jewelry store. Is my mom... awake?"

Mila murmured softly, "She just woke up a little while ago. She seems to be in a good mood. Do you want to come and see her?"

Ivan hesitated for a few seconds. "Not for now. I don't want to risk another argument if things don't go well. I'll wait until she's calmer."

After hearing Ivan's words, Mila responded softly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Aunt Baxter over here."

"Thank you."

After Ivan heard Mila's response, there was a few seconds of silence before he finally said, "Mila, do you have time tonight? I want to talk to you about our engagement."

After hearing Mila's words, Ivan remained silent for a few seconds and then replied, "Okay."

Ending the call, Ivan stood at the entrance and lit a cigarette, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Ever since the day he returned from the police station, Ivan had heard Madison constantly complaining to Ryan about Yanis. But Ivan didn't feel like arguing with Madison again.

However, Madison's words at the time were harsh and hard to bear, so he couldn't help but retort. As a result, Madison became so agitated that she fainted.

For the past few days, she hadn't been in good spirits. But she was still fixated on the fact that Ivan had been detained overnight for getting into a fight.

Even though Ivan patiently explained to Madison over and over again, she couldn't wrap her head around it. She believed that Yanis must have said or done something out of line to make Ivan so devoted to him.

Their persistent conversation eventually led to another heated argument.
