Yanis saw that Zane had made up his mind to go together, so she didn't say anything more. "Lead the way," she said.
Zane nodded and looked at Ivan. "Join us in the same car?"
Ivan quickly waved his hand. "No, spare my life. I'll stay."
After speaking, Ivan directly got into Teddy's car. "You two go ahead, we'll meet at the airport."
Bonnie waved at Yanis. "If you want, you can find a place to have fun too. Ivan and I will take care of the transportation."
After hearing Bonnie's words, Yanis rolled her eyes at her and silently said, "Shut up!"
Bonnie stuck her tongue out at Yanis. "Let's go then!"
Yanis watched Teddy's car drive away before walking with Zane towards where they had parked earlier.
"Are you sure it's fine for you to be away for so long?" Yanis asked, still concerned, as she got into the car.
"It's fine. They won't finish anytime soon," Zane reassured her.
Upon hearing Zane's words, Yanis didn't say anything more.
It would take at least an hour to reach the airport from Banyan Garden.
By the time they arrived at the airport, it was already 2 o'clock.
They had about half an hour left before the check-in time.
Yanis and Zane were the first to arrive at the airport. They found a parking spot for the car and waited inside.
Soon, Teddy's car pulled up behind theirs.
When Yanis saw Bonnie getting out of the car, she opened her door and got out as well.
Teddy took Ivan's suitcase from the trunk. "It's about time, you should go in."
Ivan reached out and took the suitcase from Teddy. "You guys can go back now. I'll go straight in for check-in."
"Ivan, looking forward to seeing you next time," Bonnie hugged Ivan and whispered softly.
After speaking, Bonnie paused for a moment and said in a voice only heard by the two of them, "It's time to let go of the person in your heart. She's going to be your sister from now on."
Upon hearing Bonnie's words, Ivan softly replied, "Okay."
Only then did Bonnie let go of Ivan's embrace and turned to Zane, who was standing on the side. "Mr. Lawrence."
"What?" Zane asked.
"Can you be generous for once? Let our Ivan hug Yanis?"
Zane glanced at Ivan and then let go of Yanis' hand. "If I don't agree, it seems like I'm rejecting Miss Cooke's face."
Bonnie couldn't help but laugh after hearing Zane's words. Then she gave Zane a thumbs-up. "Mr. Lawrence, you're generous!"
Yanis stepped forward and hugged Ivan. "Ivan, this is our home, with me, with us."
Ivan raised his hand and hugged Yanis back. "Yanis, be happy always."
"You too. Actually, Phoebe isn't bad. We can become even closer family," Yanis said.
Listening to Yanis, Ivan chuckled softly. "For you, I will consider it carefully."
Yanis smiled. "Okay."
"Ivan, it's almost time," Zane stepped forward and pulled Yanis out of Ivan's embrace and into his own. "We can check-in now."
Ivan met Zane's gaze. "Take care."
As he spoke, Ivan took a step forward and whispered in a voice only heard by the two of them, "Offending your little brother-in-law won't end well."
Zane narrowed his eyes. "Then let's see who comes out on top."
Ivan nodded. "We'll see in the future."
Yanis didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, and Bonnie looked puzzled as well. "Are you using a secret code? Can't let others know?"
