As Adam lifted his foot to leave, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Zane, who was sitting on the couch. "Mr. Lawrence, I heard that you divorced Miss Thompson before, and you haven't remarried yet?"
Zane looked up at Adam upon hearing his words. "Mr. Bennet, are you so concerned about our marital status?"
Adam smiled and glanced towards the kitchen before meeting Zane's gaze. "Not exactly. Although I may not be a good person, I still have certain boundaries when it comes to certain matters. At least I won't be like my father, entangled with his ex despite being aware of his marriage."
Adam's words were not explicit, but his intended meaning was clear.
Zane quickly understood Adam's implications and responded calmly, "I'm afraid that would disappoint Mr. Bennett."
Adam didn't say anything more and simply asked, "Is that so?"
Just then, Yanis emerged from the kitchen. Adam glanced at her face and then nodded towards Zane. "I won't disturb Mr. Lawrence's rest any longer."
After speaking, Adam looked at Yanis and said, "Miss Thompson, my apologies for the interruption."
Yanis nodded in response to Adam's farewell. "Mr. Bennett, take care."
Adam heard Yanis's reply, and a smile deepened at the corners of his lips. "You two really are a couple, speaking and behaving in the same way."
However, Yanis didn't respond to Adam's comment. Instead, she brought the freshly made soup to Zane and placed it on the table. "Drink it while it's hot."
Zane grunted in acknowledgment. "Alright."
The two of them continued their conversation, ignoring Adam, who was left on the side.
Adam didn't mind their lack of interest. When he saw that they had no intention of engaging with him further, he turned around and walked towards the door.
"Mr. Bennett."
Just as Adam reached the door, Yanis called out.
Upon hearing Yanis's voice, Adam halted his steps and turned to face her.
Yanis walked towards Adam and said, "I'll see you off, Mr. Bennett."
"Yanis." Zane called out after hearing Yanis's words.
Yanis looked at Zane and smiled. "Drink the soup first, I'll be there in a moment."
With that, Yanis walked towards Adam. "Mr. Bennett, let's go. I'll escort you out."
Adam glanced at Zane, nodded, and said, "Alright."
The two of them walked out together.
"Does Miss Thompson have something to say?" After they stepped out of the door, Adam was the first to speak.
When Yanis heard Adam's words, she looked at him and asked, "Mr. Bennett, you didn't just come to visit Zane today, did you?"
Adam smiled and replied, "Not entirely."
Pausing for a moment, Adam stopped and looked at Yanis. "What if I told you I came to see Miss Thompson?"
"Mr. Bennett, don't you think that's a bit crossing the line?" Yanis responded.
Adam said, "Why not? You're not married to Zane yet, right? So why can't I say it?"
"I and Zane..." Yanis began.
