Chapter 1083: Want to Get Along Well with You
Yanis stood there, flipping through the pages, one by one. Each page was meticulously detailed with
cooking instructions and estimated time.
For Yanis, the previous Olivia had been nothing short of a wicked stepmother. Yanis even felt that
Olivia resembled the malicious queen, and she herself was Cinderella.
"Mrs. Lawrence?"
Seeing Yanis standing there, absorbed in the notebook and with teary eyes, Aunt Alice cautiously
called out.
Upon hearing Aunt Alice's voice, Yanis came back to her senses and looked up. "What's the matter?"
"Are you okay?"
Yanis closed the notebook and shook her head gently. "I'm fine, don't worry."
Aunt Alice didn't press further. "I'll put away these things then."
Yanis nodded, took the notebook, and headed upstairs.
Once in her bedroom, Yanis took a deep breath and walked over to the bed, lying down.
The notebook she held suddenly felt a bit warm. Every word was written neatly and meticulously. She
recognized that handwriting-it was Olivia's.
Antonio had left around nine o'clock the previous night. It must have been around ten-thirty when he
arrived home. Even if Olivia hadn't slept, it must have taken her the entire night until now to write down
all these recipes.
Yanis couldn't quite describe her feelings at the moment; she only felt a heaviness in her chest.
Yanis remained in that position for a while before finally moving. She reached for her phone,
contemplating for a moment before dialing Bonnie's number.
The call connected, and Bonnie answered immediately. "Yanis?"
Yanis hummed. "Is Myles feeling better?"
"Much better. She's sleeping right now. I'm planning to take a shower and head to the store." Bonnie's
voice sounded a bit distant, likely on speakerphone as she multitasked.
Yanis paused for a few seconds. "Are you at the cottage or Cooke Residence?"
"Cooke Residence. After all, Myles needs someone with her. I'm going to have my dad watch over her
for a bit. There's some work at the store today that I need to handle in person."
Yanis hummed again. "Busy as always?"
Bonnie's voice got closer. "Yeah, there's quite a bit to do. We're planning to move soon, so there's a lot
to take care of. Plus, I need to check out the new location. It's a busy time. Just rest and recover
properly. Linda and I can handle everything. Once you're stable, I can finally take a break."
Listening to Bonnie, Yanis chuckled and responded, "Well, I have ten more months to go, plus another
year of postpartum confinement. You'll be busy this whole year."
Bonnie let out a sound of agreement. "You're right. But once in a while, Linda and I can handle things.
You focus on taking care of yourself. These are important times."
Yanis sighed softly. "Alright, I'm done talking. You go ahead and take care of your tasks."
Bonnie hummed. "By the way, how about dinner tomorrow night?"
"Dinner?"
"I'm inviting Lawyer Phillips for dinner. You and Zane should come too. It'll be less awkward that way."
"I'm not going," Yanis firmly declined. "If you're the one inviting, you should be the one expressing
gratitude. What's the point of us going? Can't you be more sincere?"
Bonnie scoffed playfully. "Aren't I being sincere enough? Maybe I should send a gift over."
Yanis was helpless. "Fine, next time I see Lawyer Phillips, I'll try to persuade him on your behalf."
Bonnie laughed. "Alright, I'll leave it to you then."
Yanis sighed in response, then realized Bonnie had already hung up the phone.
Looking at the now disconnected phone, Yanis shook her head with a smile. Lane was undoubtedly
serious about Bonnie.
However, Bonnie's heart was still tied to her past, and it seemed she had little inclination to consider
anyone else in this lifetime. But Yanis genuinely didn't want Bonnie to be this way, and Haider didn't
either.
Myles wouldn't want that either. She wouldn't want to see her sister stuck in the same place forever,
never taking a step forward.
Yanis stayed upstairs for a while longer before remembering that Aurora was being discharged from
the hospital today. She headed downstairs and drove to the hospital.
When Yanis arrived, Aurora had just finished the paperwork. She looked slightly surprised upon seeing
Yanis. "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Yanis took a few steps forward. "To pick you up. Is everything settled?"
Aurora affirmed, "Yes, everything's done."
Looking at Yanis, Aurora asked, "Did my brother come too?"
"I came alone. Your brother went to the office." Yanis glanced at her watch. "I'm heading to see Reed.
Want to come with me? I'll drop you off afterward."
"Sure."
Originally, Aurora could have been discharged that day, but she had accidentally pressed on her wound
while sleeping, causing some bleeding around the stitches. As a result, she had to stay an extra day at
the hospital. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Yanis accompanied Aurora to see Reed.
"Yanis!" Reed greeted Yanis as soon as he saw her.
Yanis responded, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine. What brings you here?"
"I'm picking up Aurora and thought I'd drop by to see you." Yanis paused, then asked, "Where's Allan?
Isn't he here with you?"
"He went to get some food. He should be back soon."
Yanis nodded and inquired, "When can you be discharged?"
"In the afternoon. I still need to receive a few IV drips." Reed replied.
