-And then?
-I dreamt that he explained to me that he hadn’t left me, that it was a misunderstanding,” whispered Yanis with his head down.
-¿Y?
-I forgave him!
Alice couldn’t believe that Yanis thought everything that had happened last night was a dream, and that she even forgave Zain.
-Don’t make fun of me, please, it was as real as reality. At that moment I would have given anything for Zain to be nicer to me.
Alice didn’t know if she should tell him the truth.
But Yanis was delirious last night because of fever and wine.
Suddenly, Alice’s heart went out to Yanis.
-Alice, it was ridiculous, wasn’t it?
-No,” Alice shook her head.
Loving someone is a serious and precious thing.
-It’s okay, you know, I don’t care what other people think.
Alice was surprised at how important she was to Yanis, who suddenly said, -After all, you are her sister.
-Is that why you care about my opinion? -Alice was a little disappointed.
Yanis smiled and put his arm around Alice and leaned toward her.
-Of course not, even if you’re not, you’re still my best friend.
-What if I want you to leave Zain? -Alice said jokingly.
Yanis didn’t answer.
-What do you think?
Yanis looked at Alice and stammered, -Really?
Alice didn’t say anything, so Yanis grabbed her hand and shook his head.
-I’m kidding, we are good friends, I will always respect you,” seeing that Yanis was about to cry, Alice explained with a smile.
-Really? So I can keep chasing Zain?
-Do whatever you want.
-We’ll always be good friends, even if it doesn’t end with Zain,” Yanis hugged Alice.
Alice kept hesitating to tell Yanis the truth, who would be happier if she knew, but this means a betrayal to Zain.
Alice decided not to say anything, whether it was a dream or not.
Besides, she found that Yanis had liked Zain even more after he rejected her again and again.
If it were possible, Alice would very much like to persuade Yanis to leave him.
But, as a woman who had not forgotten Kennedy for five years, how could she convince her friend?
The two talked for a while and Yanis went out.
Alice washed up and wanted to call Kennedy when the doorbell rang.
It was Nathan and Jack.
-Mom!
Jack put his arms around Alice’s legs and rubbed his cheek against her, “Good morning, Mom.
-Good morning, sweetheart.
Alice stroked his head, looked around and asked, somewhat disappointed, -Where’s Kennedy?
-Miss Alice, good morning,” Nathan greeted her.
-Good morning, why isn’t Kennedy with you?
-Mr. Kennedy told me to take Jack home this morning, I don’t want to disturb his sleep.
It was very convincing, Nathan had always been very considerate of Kennedy.
Then Alice didn’t hesitate, she smiled and said to Nathan, “Thank you, I appreciate what you do.
-It’s my job as an assistant. By the way, how is Yanis? -I had been thinking about Yanis since the night before.
If it were not for the fear that Kennedy was in danger, Nathan would have taken care of Yanis.
-Wake up, do you want to go and see her? -Alice looked into Nathan’s eyes.
-Of course.
Nathan nodded and went inside to change his shoes.
-Mom, does Uncle Nathan like Aunt Yanis? -Jack asked Alice in a low voice.
-I don’t know,” Alice shook her head.
-But if Aunt Yanis is with Uncle Nathan, what about Uncle Zain?
