I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 847

Chapter 847: You're Done if I Catch You Lying

Yanis prepared some food for Zane and also made some for Allan. Originally, Yanis planned to ask Zane to call him, but just as she finished cooking for Allan, he came downstairs. "Is there a portion for me?"

Yanis looked at him and said, "Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?"

"I smelled something good and got hungry, so I came down," Allan replied, glancing at Zane's bowl. "No food for me?"

Yanis responded, "Yes, I'll bring it out for you."

"No need, I'll do it myself," Allan said, entering the kitchen and scooping out his portion of noodles. He sat down across from Zane. "Having a wife is great. I need to hurry up and marry Reed."

After saying this, Allan shook his head. "Marrying her means cooking for her!"

"Do you know how to cook?" Yanis casually asked.

With a mouthful of noodles, Allan replied, "I can learn if I don't know. I'll take a cooking class in the near future, and I'll definitely become a five-star chef."

Then Allan looked at Zane. "Mr. Lawrence, would you like to join me?"

Zane glanced at Allan calmly and said, "No need, you go ahead. Or perhaps, you should become my disciple?"

Allan almost choked on his noodles. "You can cook? Did Yanis teach you?"

Yanis chimed in, "Mr. Lawrence is a self-taught chef."

Allan looked at Yanis in disbelief. "Can his food be eaten? Is there a risk of food poisoning?"

Yanis said, "Practice makes perfect."

Hearing this, Allan nodded in agreement. "You're right. It seems like I need to practice more."

After finishing their meal, Zane left.

Allan sat in the living room and looked at Yanis, who had finished her tasks. "Can I go in and see her?"

Yanis raised her eyes to look at him. "Why are you suddenly so polite?"

Allan said, "I'm afraid that Mitch might come back and if he sees me, he'll think I have ulterior motives towards his sister."

Yanis couldn't help but laugh. "You're still afraid of Mitch?"

"Can't I be afraid of my future brother-in-law?" Allan replied in a low voice.

"I suggest you wait until Reed wakes up before going in. She probably didn't get much sleep last night," Yanis advised.

"I just want to take a quick look, as quietly as possible," Allan insisted.

Seeing Allan's determination, Yanis didn't say anything more and nodded. "Go ahead. If Mitch comes back, I'll explain it to him."

Allan thanked her and got up to go upstairs. As he reached the stairs, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yanis. "Which room is hers?"

"The second one," Yanis replied.

Allan acknowledged with a grunt and went straight upstairs.

Upon entering the room, Allan treaded lightly, walked to the bedside, and looked at Reed sleeping soundly. He wanted to touch her face, but then he remembered what Yanis had said about Reed possibly not sleeping well the whole night. Allan withdrew his hand.

As Allan gazed at Reed sleeping, his gaze shifted to the mark on her neck that indicated she had been strangled. Thinking about how helpless she looked when those people took her away, Allan's eyes flashed with a cold gleam.

A rebellious impulse surged within him for a moment, but as he looked at Reed peacefully sleeping, he silently suppressed that urge.

Allan didndidn't stay in the room for long. He quietly stayed by the bed for a while before turning around and leaving the room. Once outside, he gently closed the door behind him.

Instead of returning to Mitch's room, Allan turned around and went downstairs.

Yanis saw Allan coming downstairs shortly after and looked up at him. "Why are you back so soon?"

Allan descended the stairs and sat on the couch in the living room. "She's sleeping, and I didn't want to disturb her."

"Don't you want to take a nap?" Yanis asked.
