Sandy had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and she had encountered various social situations. She could tell who treated her sincerely and who was just pretending. When Yanis spoke to her earlier, she understood that Yanis was only looking out for her.
Sandy appreciated Yanis's concern, and she decided to share the incident with Anthony that Yanis mentioned. After hearing the story, Sandy didn't outright refuse the idea of meeting him. "I'll go see him once I've sorted things out on my end," she said.
Yanis nodded and advised, "If you do decide to meet him, let Mr. Hawkins know. It's best to be open and honest in such situations. Even though you trust each other, some things are better said in person to put each other's minds at ease."
"I understand," Sandy replied seriously. "I'll remember what you said today, Yanis."
Yanis couldn't help but smile at Sandy's serious expression. She shifted her gaze to Sandy's belly and asked, "Have you gone for a follow-up check-up? How are things?"
Sandy gently placed her hand on her abdomen. "I haven't gone for a follow-up yet. Once I've dealt with everything here, I'll go. I heard there's some paperwork involved; it sounds like a hassle."
"It's not that bad, especially with Brandon by your side," Yanis reassured her.
"But I can't expect him to accompany me every time I go to the hospital, right? That would be troublesome for him," Sandy said softly.
"Your affairs are never a bother to me," came Brandon's voice from the door.
Both Sandy and Yanis looked towards the entrance, where Brandon had just entered. He walked up to Sandy and handed her a cup of hot water. "Have some hot water and get some rest."
Sandy smiled at Brandon, taking the cup and sipping from it before returning it to him. "Weren't you chatting with Mr. Lawrence just now? Why did you suddenly come up?"
"I wanted to discuss something with you," Brandon replied.
Yanis stood up, realizing it was time to leave. "You two talk. I'll let Aunt Stella know to prepare more food for dinner."
Sandy looked at Yanis and said, "Yanis, let's invite my sister as well."
Yanis nodded in agreement. "Sure, I'll go pick up Bonnie, and we can all have dinner together."
Zane, who was still sitting on the living room sofa, overheard their conversation. "Isn't Ivan also in Manches City? Why not invite him too?"
Yanis was taken aback. "You mean have Ivan come as well?"
"He calls me brother-in-law now. Shouldn't I be a bit friendlier to my little brother-in-law?" Zane said with a smile.
Yanis couldn't help but laugh. "I'll ask later then."
Looking at the time, Yanis suggested, "It's getting late. I will go buy some groceries with the housekeeper."
Zane offered to accompany her, but Yanis declined. "No need. You stay here with Mr. Hawkins; we'll be fine."
Zane nodded in agreement. "Alright, have a good time."
