Yanis put the glass of water in front of Zain and immediately walked away.
Zain’s eyebrows furrowed unconsciously and he looked at Yanis, who immediately said, -I remember that I haven’t fixed my clothes properly yet, so I’m going for that.
After speaking, he quickly turned around and went back to the room.
Both Zain and Alice were speechless.
After the two of them saw Yanis enter the room, Alice couldn’t help but say, -Brother, don’t be so scary, you scared Yanis a lot.
Hearing her, Zain looked at her coldly, -The friend of yours has been very brave, she took him to come here without telling me anything.
Alice bit her lower lip and decided to cover up for Yanis.
-In fact, she didn’t want to come alone, but I felt that there was no progress from my side, so I sent a message to Yanis and asked him to bring Jack to be with me.
Zain didn’t believe her words, he just raised his eyebrows when he heard that, -Are you going to take the blame with her?
-Brother, it’s not like that… I really sent a message to ask him to come.
-Do you have any evidence? -said Zain.
Alice was speechless.
She hadn’t expected Zain to ask this, and was stunned for a long time before she mumbled and explained, -That… I sent a message, but the phone’s memory was erased.
-Really? -asked Zain slowly without hurrying.
Alice suddenly didn’t know what to say, because she felt that no matter what she said, she couldn’t cover up the truth. How could Zain not know her personality? She wouldn’t let Jack come earlier, because she wanted to settle the matter alone, hoping to pick Jack up after Kennedy regained his memory.
But now, Kennedy still didn’t get her memory back, but now she said that she was the one who sent a message to ask Yanis to bring Jack here.
Nobody believed her.
She stopped talking, because she knew Zain didn’t believe what she had said.
She lowered her head, her mood suddenly depressed.
Zain was stunned for a moment. Thinking about what he had said to her, it seemed that his tone had been too harsh. At this moment, seeing her so depressed, he suddenly blamed himself.
-I’m sorry… I didn’t use this tone intentionally to deal with you, I just….
-I know -Alice interrupted him-, I know you are just worried about me, but I am an adult and I can do whatever I want, including Yanis, she knows what she is doing, since she dared to take Jack to come here, that means this was not only of her will.
Saying this, Alice raised her head and met Zain’s eyes.
-Since it was Jack who wanted it, why should you blame it on Yanis, brother?
Zain could see that Alice was determined to defend Yanis. She couldn’t blame Yanis anymore. Zain wanted to make her admit her mistake first. It didn’t matter what she wanted to do, but what mattered most to him was that she took Jack to come here without telling him anything.
What if something had happened on the trip?
Thinking about this, Zain’s voice softened a little.
-If this is what you expected, I know.
-It’s not what I expected,” Alice interrupted him, “I’m just telling the truth. If you want to blame Yanis, then Jack won’t be an exception either. After all, I can say that Jack’s courage was the greater between these two people. If Jack hadn’t asked Yanis, Yanis would never have taken him to come and get me.
It seemed to be correct what Alice said.
But… Zain frowned and looked at her, not really standing by her son’s side.
Weren’t you worried that he would blame Jack?
But this was not what she should be worried about, Zain didn’t speak anymore and reassured her, -It’s okay, I know, don’t be angry.
Alice lowered her eyes and didn’t respond.
The living room was silent for a long while until she asked, -Since you are here, do you want to stay and spend the New Year with us?
Zain said and explained, -All of us from the company are already on vacation. Megan was going to come with me, but I didn’t agree, so she stayed home to accompany her son.
-Okay.
Alice looked around and suddenly remembered something important, when Zain came in, he seemed to have brought a small bag, not even a suitcase.
This time he only brought his documents and his cell phone among others?
Thinking about this, Alice raised her head, -Brother, where is your suitcase?
When she asked him about this, Zain had a slightly uncomfortable look on his previously calm face. He became a little irritated when she mentioned this. Because she left in a hurry, she brought almost nothing, and came here.
After getting off the plane, the stewardess asked him about his luggage, he remembered that he didn’t bring any luggage, fortunately he brought all the documents and the cell phone.
Otherwise, he really could not find this place.
-You were in a hurry, and didn’t bring anything?
Zain raised his head with a serious face, -I have my documents and my cell phone.
Alice didn’t know what to say.
She thought for a moment and coughed slightly and said, -When Kennedy comes back, will I ask him to lend you the clothes first?
Wear Kennedy’s clothes?
Zain resisted unconsciously, how could she wear other men’s clothes? Although this person was his brother-in-law.
Zain immediately rejected his proposal.
-No, I’m going shopping later.
Alice didn’t force him either, she thought for a while and said, -You just arrived here, maybe you are not familiar with this place. Shall I accompany you?
-No,” Zain looked at the place where Yanis had just disappeared, “let her come with me.
Alice wanted to say something, but after thinking, wouldn’t this be a good opportunity for Yanis?
Accompanying Zain to buy clothes, no one else, should they spend a lot of time alone?
After this thought crossed her mind, Alice nodded her head immediately.
-All right, then I’ll talk to Yanis later.
Alice got up and walked towards Yanis’ room after speaking. Zain lowered his head, his eyelashes covered the gloomy eyes.
Although the intention of what Alice told him was nothing more than telling him not to blame Yanis, but… some things had to be made clear.
Since he couldn’t tell her in front of her sister.
So he would take her outside and tell her.
After Alice returned to the room, she told Yanis the news. When Yanis heard it, his face instantly turned pale and he turned her down.
-I don’t want to go!
Hearing that, Alice was a little surprised, -Why? What a good chance, aren’t you going out with my brother?
-Alice, I don’t dare… I’m afraid of him now, he must be very angry with me.
-Don’t worry, I already told him a moment ago, and he promised not to get you in trouble.
-Really? -Yanis was a bit suspicious, but… I’m still afraid.
-What are you afraid of? You’re going to be alone, go out with him to buy clothes, such a rare opportunity that you really don’t want it?
Seeing that Yanis was still hesitating, Alice planned to do something more direct, turned around and walked out, saying, -Then I’ll tell him you don’t want to go.
