I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 988

Chapter 988: Zane, Did It Really Pass?

Yanis adjusted her posture and lazily leaned against Zane's embrace. "No, I just wanted to hug you. Why do you overthink things?"

Zane looked at her, "Are you really not feeling well?"

Yanis shook her head, "I'm fine."

Seeing Yanis not saying anything more, Zane didn't press further, "I might have to go to Burumal with Albi tomorrow afternoon and return the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Yanis sat up, "What are you going to do in Burumal?"

"There's a project we've been working on. It's almost finalized, so I need to go and take a look," Zane explained softly.

Yanis thought for a moment and looked at Zane, "Can I come with you?"

Zane met Yanis's gaze, "You want to come with me?"

Yanis replied softly, "I don't have much to do during this time. Bonnie is taking care of things, so she doesn't need me. Besides, I've never gone out with you, nor have I been to Burumal."

As Yanis finished speaking, Zane reached for his phone from the side, "I'll ask Albi to book tickets for us right now."

Yanis nodded, "Okay."

While Zane was on the phone with Albi, Yanis got up and fetched a clean towel to help Zane dry his hair.

After giving Albi instructions, Zane put his phone aside and reached for the towel from Yanis's hand, "I'll do it myself."

Yanis looked at him, "Let me help you."

Zane met Yanis's gaze, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he withdrew his hand, "Alright."

After drying his hair, Yanis put the towel back and returned to the bedroom, snuggling back into Zane's embrace as before.

"Have you thought about telling me now?" Zane held her close and asked softly.

Upon hearing Zane's words, Yanis looked up at him, "Tell you what?"

Zane looked at her without saying anything.

Yanis quickly understood what he meant from his gaze.

The two locked eyes for a while, and Yanis adjusted her posture, hugging Zane and whispering, "I'm not feeling bad. I just suddenly thought about some things that I can't figure out."

"What things?"

Yanis remained silent for a few seconds before speaking again, "Back then, she abandoned me in the Thompson family so she could marry into the Baxter family. Now that her wish has come true, why does she want to acknowledge me?"

As Yanis spoke, she paused and continued, "And what about you? She treated you so poorly, why should she have any claim over you?"

Lucia had done quite a lot of good deeds in her life. However, Yanis couldn't understand what Lucia really meant to Zane. Why did she still treat him that way at the end of her life?

Zane held Yanis's hand a little tighter after hearing her words, "Why are you thinking about these things?"

Yanis replied softly, "I was talking to my grandmother earlier, and it came up."

"No matter what happened in the past, it's all over now."

"Zane, is it really over?"

Zane looked at Yanis, wanting to say something, but the things Lucia had done suddenly left him speechless.

He could move on from what Lucia did to him and Anika, but he couldn't forgive her for what she did to Yanis.
