Yanis kept touching the garlic, and then cut it into several pieces quickly.
Looking at the garlic, Alice asked curiously, -Are you going to eat them?
-Is there a problem? -Yanis answered.
-No, of course not, what I meant was… do you like the taste of garlic?
After his words, Yanis reacted at once, and said, -You are right, my better half is still here, I shouldn’t eat the garlic. If I will have a chance to talk to him in private, garlic breath will be very bad for him, when I open my mouth.
He thought about this, Yanis threw the cut garlic into the trash can immediately.
And then, he wiped the kitchen knife and the board quickly.
-Good thing you warned me, -Yanis muttered.
She gave Yanis a glance attentively, Alice found no sign of dodging her eyes, she seemed to have forgotten all the words between them.
-Doesn’t he care about them, or carelessly? -Alice thought and said, “Well… did you hear what I said?
-What about? -Yanis answered.
-Maybe Nathan is jealous,” Alice said.
-That’s impossible! -Yanis shouted.
-How do you know? You are also suspicious, aren’t you? You’re just not sure, that’s all,” Alice answered.
-You’re right, I am a little suspicious, but I consider it carefully, I think it’s impossible that Nathan fell in love with me. We have known each other for a long time, if he liked me, he would tell me. However, he denied it when I asked him that day. I really regret that I asked him out of quick impulses, I am so ashamed to ask such a question.
-Well, I don’t know what I can say with her. I’d better stay out of her business,” Alice thought.
And Alice didn’t speak any more, the two people were quietly cooking.
At that moment, Kennedy fell asleep, so Alice prepared a ration of food for him in advance, when he woke up, it would be more convenient for him to eat.
When Alice took just the meals in the refrigerator, she heard that Zain Nelson had said something.
-Tomorrow I go back to my country,” said Zain.
After his words, the chopsticks that had been in Yanis’ hand fell to the floor.
It seemed that time had not passed, after a while, Yanis lowered his head embarrassedly, and prepared to pick up the chopsticks that had slipped.
But one person acted more nimbly than she did, Nathan picked up the chopsticks and put them on the table, and then got up to the kitchen to take another pair of chopsticks for Yanis.
When she received the chopsticks, Yanis was uncomfortable, and said, -has…?
-You can’t hold the chopsticks properly, how clumsy,” Nathan reproached in a low voice.
Yanis’s eyes widened furiously.
But he did not feel like paying attention to his offense, Yanis turned his gaze to Zain, and asked intensely, “When we got in the car, you said you would stay for a few days, didn’t you? Why are you leaving tomorrow? You’re in such a hurry, is it easy to book seats?
-Megan Charlotte will manage it well,” Zain answered.
Hearing Megan’s name, Yanis was silent, and thought -yes, it’s been so many days, it’s time for Megan to start working. She will be able to arrange all the matters perfectly that she is in charge of.
In a little while, Yanis said, -Well, can I come back with you? I will reserve the seats now.
After the words, he did not eat anything else, and headed to the room to get his cell phone, leaving the bowl and chopsticks on the table.
Everyone fell silent.
Alice glanced at Nathan stealthily, she was in doubt because of his normal expressions, it seemed that there was no change in Nathan’s mood. But after thinking for a while, Alice dispelled the suspicion, after all, Nathan was working under Kennedy Moore, for them, his joy and anger were invisible.
-Why are you in such a hurry, Zain? I didn’t know you were going out tomorrow,” Alice asked, and took a bowl of broth to herself.
Zain turned his gaze to his sister, and said in a softer tone, “Something thorny has occurred in the company, I have to go back and undo it. I thought I could stay a few more days accompanying you, but the current situation does not allow me. Be careful, I know it is difficult for you to be in a foreign country alone. If you have difficulties, do not endure them alone, I am your strongest support.
Saying this, Zain stopped. His lips were moving slightly, it seemed that he had something on the tip of his tongue.
After a while, he said slowly, -although the Carlos family is strong, The Nelson family is not shy, do you understand me?
Alice was stunned, yes, she understood him well.
Alice thought, -Zain was afraid that Jorge Carlos would reprove Alice, even with the strength of his family, what he meant to me is that if I need that of The Nelson family, he will help me and will not back down, no matter what.
-I have an older brother like Zain who is so lucky, who is so good, it seems to me that he would have saved the world,” Alice thought.
Said Alice with her eyes full of tears, -Zain.
-Okay, let’s drink the broth,” answered Zain.
Alice drank the broth, lowering her head, but Nathan was looking at him at that moment. He did not think that Zain would treat Alice so tenderly.
-But the way he spoke to Yanis was so cold.
-Was that the reason why Yanis was so sad?
-Nevertheless, I am nobody, I have no proper position to reproach him. Actually, I have not played with Yanis’ feelings, my attitude is clear.
-If Yanis continues to lose herself in her emotions, she will find difficulties for herself, Nathan thought.
Nathan’s heart ached at this thought.
-If Yanis continues to fall in love with Zain, being as impenitent as I am, what could it be? -Nathan thought.
-Oh no, why aren’t there any empty seats for tomorrow? -Yanis shouted, frantically ran out of the room with his cell phone in his hand, ran and shouted, “I didn’t think there were no more seats available for tomorrow, why do so many passengers want to return to their country in the morning? It’s very strange.
While Yanis was saying that, he stood next to Zain, looking at him with painful glances, and said, -Could you stay a few more days, you still don’t have enough time to have a good chat with Alice?
Nathan frowned and answered, “There is an emergency in the company, I have to go out.
Hearing his tone, Yanis thought he had no more chance, bit his lips and returned to his seat, lowering his head.
All could observe that Yanis lost his spirits.
Everyone was thinking their own things at lunch.
Lunch finished, Alice didn’t take long to go back to her dorm.
Until the evening, Dylan Pliego came for the command of The Carlos family, and invited everyone present to have dinner at his house.
Thinking that Zain will be out in the morning, Alice agreed to his request that she had to discuss some matter with Jorge precisely.
-Of course, it is not an insignificant thing, I will have to express it well to Jorge. With Jack’s effort, I don’t know if I’ll be more sympathetic to him,” Alice thought.
Yanis was not in the mood to do anything because of Zain’s departure, when the rest decided to have dinner at Jorge’s house, he refused.
Zain did not feel like going, but he could not ignore it, considering the relations between them and Alice.
-As a member of the Nelson family, I have to go,” Zain thought.
Finally, what was left was Nathan and Yanis.
Nathan was trying to go with them, but when he left the house, Kennedy made a deep gesture to him, and said, -Stay!
