Chapter 77 - Do you like Yanis that much?
"Neve, are you busy?" Lucia's voice came over the phone.
Neve glanced in the mirror at Phoebe's back, and then answered, "No, is Auntie Lucia looking for me?"
Lucia said softly, "If you're not busy, come over for dinner tonight, and Zane will be back."
Although Neve had just heard from Phoebe that it was Lucia's birthday tonight, but now that she had said so, Neve asked, "Auntie Lucia, is there something wrong?"
Lucia laughed, "It's my birthday and I want to invite you over for dinner."
As soon as Neve heard this, he immediately picked up and said, "Happy birthday Auntie Lucia."
"Eh, thanks Neve, then come over early tonight and play ah."
Neve responded, "Yes, I'll be there on time."
The two talked for a while before Neve hung up the phone.
Neve had just hung up Lucia's phone when Nancy's call came in.
Neve answered the phone as he drove the car, "Nancy."
"Where?" Nancy got right to the point.
Neve responded, "Out there, ready to go to the mall now to do some shopping."
Once Nancy heard Neve's words, she came directly to the sentence, "Give me the location, I'll go over to you now and talk to you face to face about something." Neve responded, "Good."
After hanging up the phone, Neve sent the location of the mall to Nancy and then drove towards the destination.
At this time, the Lawrence Group.
Albi checked Yanis' flight information, his whereabouts after landing, and the hotel he was staying at, and relayed the information to Zane.
Zane's eyebrows twitched slightly after hearing Albi's words, "Book a flight to M Country at 10pm."
Albi responded, "Okay."
"Did you get everything you were told to buy?" Zane asked, looking to Albi in passing.
"It's already ordered." Said Albi, raising her hand to look at the time and whispering, "It should be delivered in half an hour."
Zane said, "You can go straight back later and pick me up at the Lawrence's Manson later."
Albi owed, "Okay."
Late afternoon.
Zane drove back to the Lawrence's Manson at the exact right time.
Parked the car at the door, carried down the things placed on the passenger seat, then got out of the car and lifted his feet into the door.
"Master Zane, you're back." Sophia picked up Zane's hand at the door and bent down to help Zane with his shoes, "Master Zane, is Lady Yanis not here today?"
Zane changed his shoes before answering, "She was busy with something and couldn't come over, so she asked me to bring a gift."
Sophia sniffed and nodded, "Lady Yanis doing a really good job."
Zane didn't say anything and lifted his foot to go in when Sophia called out softly, "Master Zane."
At the sound of Zane's voice Zane turned his face to Sophia who was standing to the side, "What's wrong?"
"Miss Bennett is here today, too."
Zane frowned slightly after hearing Sophia's words, "My mom called?"
Sophia nodded, "Madame called herself and Catherine is not happy about it."
Zane was going to go and say hello to Lucia first, but after hearing Sophia's words, Zane turned around and went to Catherine's room.
Standing in the doorway of the room, Zane raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Grandma, it's me."
Only then did the person inside answer, "Come in."
Upon hearing the response, Zane raised his hand and pushed the door open and walked in, closing it behind him, "You're not happy, from what Sophia said?"
Catherine moved a distinct glance behind Zane, "You might as well not come back, seeing you makes me think of Yanis."
Zane listened to Catherine without saying much and went up and sat down on one side, "You like Yanis that much?"
Catherine looked at Zane with an unhappy face, "A pretty, pretty girl like her, who doesn't like that?"
After Catherine gave Zane a blank look, she continued, "Only people with no eyes think she's bad, especially blind people like you!"
Zane was disliked by Catherine without any warning, but did not say anything, just sat quietly listening to the side.
"What's wrong? So good and obedient today?" Catherine asked, looking over at Zane, who hadn't said a word.
Zane looked up at Catherine, "You're right, I'm wrong, I know you're doing it for my own good, and I'd be a bit ungrateful to argue against it."
Listening to Zane's words, Catherine finally had a smile on her face, "Zane ah, sometimes you can't look at people on the surface, after all, the human heart is still separated by the belly." Zane responded, raising his hand and patting the back of Catherine's hand, "I know."
Catherine looked at Zane and tried to say something, but the words didn't come out of her mouth.
"You've done the paperwork with Yanis?"
Zane sniffed and shook his head, "No."
When Catherine heard this, she looked to Zane and asked, "So is there any wiggle room?"
Zane was hesitating to tell Catherine about his affair with Yanis when there was a knock on the door.
Phoebe's voice came from the door, "Grandma, brother, dinner will be ready soon." Catherine ignored Phoebe and looked at Zane, repeating, "Is there any room for maneuvering?"
"We ......"
"Grandma? Brother, are you in there?" Phoebe's voice came again from the doorway.
Zane frowned and looked to Catherine, "Grandma, let's go out to eat first, I'll talk to you later."
Catherine was obviously a bit displeased, "Bringing everyone into the house is so unlikeable!"
Zane got up and helped Catherine to her feet, "Give her a break today."
Catherine coldly grunted, although not say anything else, but Catherine face is obviously still not too happy, but today is Lucia's birthday, so Catherine is also appropriate, not to make the situation too stiff. Tonight it was a rare occasion that Lucia cooked by herself, while Neve took Sophia's place and gave Lucia a hand.
At the dinner table, Neve, like the hostess of the place, set the plates, served the food, and did it naturally, without a trace of extravagance.
She and Lucia are laughing and talking, and they seem to be very harmonious.
As soon as Catherine saw this scene, her face sank, "Where's Sophia? Did I invite her here to eat idle food? How can you let a guest do it?"
On the surface, Catherine is scolding and educating Sophia, but in reality, Catherine's words are directed at Neve.
Sophia stood to the side a little unable to intervene, but under Catherine's eyes, Sophia stepped forward and took the bowl from Neve's hand, "Miss Bennett, you sit down, I'll just do these things." Neve smiled at Sophia, "It's okay, I do these things at home all the time."
Apparently Neve wasn't going to let Sophia take over and took the bowl from Sophia again, "I'll just do it."
Catherine immediately sank her face and said bluntly, "Miss Bennett is not my family's babysitter, just let Sophia do these things."
