I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 987

Chapter 987: I Will Always Be There

Anika shook her head, her eyes fixed on Iris.

"Is something wrong with Anika? Not feeling well?" Rachel handed Anika a tissue and asked.

Anika shook her head in response to Rachel, "It's nothing, just accidentally knocked over something."

Sophia stepped forward and replaced the cup, wiping the table clean.

"Thanks, Sophia," Anika thanked her softly.

After Sophia left, Iris spoke with a voice only the two of them could hear, "What's wrong? Was I too eager?"

Anika shook her head, "No, it's just that... Let's talk about it later."

Iris nodded, "Sure."

With that interruption, there were no other accidents during the rest of the dinner. After the meal, the Old Mrs. Lawrence and the Old Mr. Lawrence retired to their rooms to rest.

After going through many things and changes, Rachel became more thoughtful. After dinner, she helped Sophia tidy up.

Yanis and Zane chatted with Dylan for a while. After Rachel finished tidying up, she and Dylan left.

Now, only Zane, Yanis, Iris, and Anika were left at the Lawrence's Mansion.

Tonight, Anika wouldn't return to South Hospital.

"Let Sophia prepare a guest room for you. You can stay here tonight," Zane said, looking at Iris.

Iris nodded without refusing, "Okay."

"Sister-in-law, you can also stay here tonight," Yanis said to Zane.

"Do you have plans tomorrow?" Yanis asked Zane.

Zane replied, "Nothing important."

So, Yanis and Zane also decided to stay at the Lawrence's Mansion for the night.

Feeling a bit sleepy, Yanis went upstairs to her room after spending some time in the living room.

After Sophia finished tidying up, she also returned to her room.

Only Anika and Iris remained in the living room.

Without the presence of others, the two finally brought up the topic they discussed during dinner.

Anika looked at Iris, "Did you tell Grandpa and Uncle Dylan about our matter? What did you say?"

Iris replied truthfully, "I suggested finding a suitable time for both families to meet officially."

Upon hearing Iris's words, Anika was slightly taken aback. "Meet? You mean... meet each other's families?"

Iris nodded, "What's wrong? If you think it's too rushed, I can wait. But Grandpa said he wants us to discuss things and settle them as soon as possible, so you won't be wronged."

Hearing Iris's words, Anika couldn't help but feel moved. She loved Iris, wanted to marry her, and be with her forever. These were all facts. But the words she said to the Old Mrs. Lawrence and Yanis were also sincere.

Thinking about it, Anika looked at Iris and said softly, "What about your parents? Did you tell them about my situation?"

Iris replied, "We don't have to worry about them. It's my life, and I make my own decisions. Whether they agree or not, it doesn't matter to me. You don't have to think too much. The person I want to spend the rest of my life with is you, not them."

Iris's words did make Anika feel relieved, but she still felt a bit unsure.

"I know what you're worried about, but don't worry. Grandpa will talk to them," Iris reassured Anika in a low voice.

So, she held her phone and casually scrolled through it, chatting with Sandy for a while.

Sandy said she suddenly felt uncomfortable today and couldn't stand any smells. Even drinking a sip of water made her nauseous for a long time. She asked Yanis if there was any way to ease it.

Yanis didn't have as severe a reaction as Sandy, so she wasn't sure how to help. Nonetheless, she offered Sandy some advice.

Sandy replied with an expression that said, "I can't take it anymore."

Yanis sent Sandy a voice message, "Go to the hospital tomorrow and ask Dr. Watson to prescribe some medication for morning sickness."

Sandy sighed, "I can't take it anymore. I feel like I won't be able to last for ten months. I'm completely useless."

Yanis comforted her, "It will get better after these two or three months."

Sandy replied with an "okay" and said, "I can't take it anymore. I think I'll go for a walk. Yanis, you should go to sleep."

Yanis agreed, "Okay, you should get some rest too."

After hanging up with Sandy, Zane came out of the bathroom, "Why are you awake?"

Yanis put her phone down and opened her arms to Zane.

Zane was taken aback for a moment but then stepped forward and hugged Yanis, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to hug you," Yanis said.

Zane chuckled softly and hugged Yanis, "I haven't dried my hair yet."

Yanis reached up and rubbed Zane's head playfully, "It's fine, it's dry now."

Zane didn't say anything more, loosened his grip on Yanis's hand slightly, lowered his head, and gently kissed her lips, "Feeling upset?"
