Did it make no difference whether it happened or not?
Actually, Alice didn’t believe it, because so far she hadn’t forgotten about the night abroad, in which Yanis was getting drunk, and had a fever.
She had overheard the conversation between Zain and Yanis.
At that time, Zain’s expressions and tone indicated that he reconciled the tempers clearly. However, after that night, it seemed that nothing had happened between them, besides, Zain went out quickly.
When he returned, there was no more relationship between the two people.
In Alice’s opinion, she believed that Zain fell in love with Yanis, but she understood why her older brother would not want to be together with her.
-What happened?” thought Alice.
She moved her lips slightly, and remembered Kennedy Moore’s words.
-The time for us is limited, are you worried about the others,” the phrases existed in her mind.
What she wanted to say was on the tip of her tongue, but she held back.
-Well, I have promised that I will not interfere in Kennedy’s business, because there is no need to talk about it,” thought Alice.
Five minutes had passed, as agreed between Kennedy and herself, she had to stop talking, so Alice said, “Well, I know. I won’t say anything, since you have decisions on your mind. Kennedy is waiting for me downstairs, and I’m leaving now.
-Okay,” Zain said, noticing her head.
He turned around and a few steps, Alice turned her head, and had a hesitant expression on her face.
-Zain, what he wanted to do is that he invited me to dinner and nothing more?
After those words, Zain stopped touching the table with his fingers, with flickering glances, and said in a soft tone, -otherwise, what would it be?
Alice fixed her gaze on him for a few seconds, and turned her head away.
She said, -nothing else, I’m leaving.
Then, he did not return and quickly left the study room, do not know anything about what would happen, after a while of his departure, the man sitting at the desk lowered his gazes, it seemed that there was a deep lake in his eyes.
He was downstairs, Alice found in the distance that Kennedy was directing at her.
She calculated times, and realized she had been late.
Alice cleared her throat, and stepped forward with a guilty conscience.
Kennedy lifted his thin lips, and presented a smile that was not easily detectable. Apparently, it was only a simple smile, however, in Alice’s heart, that smile indicated dangers.
Kennedy glanced at the clock, and said softly, -it’s been five minutes, you’re late.
His voice was very soft, but Alice caught a sign of danger, so she went to him, laughing, and covered the watch with her hands, and then said, -the information on your watch is so inaccurate. When I was in the study room, I had checked the time, I spent five minutes there, it’s normal for it to take time on the road, isn’t it?
-How?” Kennedy raised his eyebrows and said.
Alice continued, -Besides, we didn’t agree on how we would calculate the time, you shouldn’t blame me, I didn’t say anything with him, did I!
-You didn’t say anything,” I looked at him with narrowed eyes, Kennedy asked, “if that’s the truth, why did you spend more than five minutes?
Alice replied, -We were talking about daily life, and I asked about Zain’s health, whatever happens, he is my relative, I have the freedom to talk to him, you couldn’t restrict me.
Having said that, Kennedy could not say anything else, if he did, it would be too unforgiving.
In his memory, there had been no Zain, but he was Alice’s older brother, it could not be overstated.
So, he finished congratulations wherever he wanted, and took Alice’s waist with his big hand, and hugged him.
-And period?” asked Kennedy.
Alice looked at him, and answered, “Yes.
-We’re going home,” said Kennedy.

When she signed the contract with Miguel, Yanis thanked him, and said that if he liked the noodles she cooked that day, he could come to her restaurant for lunch, or after cooking it well and Yanis would take it home.
Miguel laughed lightly, and agreed.
And then, he started to get busy in the restaurant’s affairs.
At first, having a restaurant that was just his idea, since he was putting it into practice, he would have to take it seriously. He would have to undo a lot of things personally, besides, Brisa would help him.
However, Mateo was not out of the hospital yet, so after two busy days, they decided that he would put everything aside until he got out of the hospital.
When Mateo knew everything, he waved his hands to express that it wouldn’t matter.
-It doesn’t matter, do what you have to do, I won’t die, so leave me alone,” he said.
-Dad, you can’t, first, we must take good care of you. I made the decision to have a restaurant, so there is no need to walk now,” Yanis replied.
Brisa sat next to him, and ate the grapes, noticing his head, and said, -You’re right.
After the words, she threw a grape in her mouth.
He saw that, without further remedy, Mateo closed his eyes and said, -don’t just think about eating, take good care of our daughter. Look, when she came back, she is thinner than before. She has stayed at home for a period of time, why doesn’t she put on any weight?
Hearing his words, Brisa was angry, and immediately reproached, “What are you saying, I only think about eating? Let’s see, Mateo, you’re exaggerating too much. She’s so thin that I don’t give a damn, you know I’m a good cook. I have to make it clear, it’s your fault, if she doesn’t come to the hospital to take care of you every day, she won’t be so thin.
Mateo said nothing.
Yanis said, -Daddy, mommy, stop quarrelling! I am thin, because I want to lose weight, it is not your fault.
-Lose weight?” her parents turned their heads towards her at the same time, “you are too thin, don’t do it. Don’t become a follower of bad examples, it will be hard for you to find your better half. I’m afraid that you would float with the wind.
Yanis moved his lips, he wanted to say something. Actually, she was not losing weight, because she was keeping in good shape. The reason would be that she was exhausted and didn’t have much appetite, besides, she was thinking a lot, that’s why she was getting thinner every day.
Thinking about this, Yanis immediately said, “Well, don’t worry. When everything is ready, I will recover quickly, I can take good care of myself, relax.
Over time, Kennedy called Jack to tell him that in a few days he would send a person to take Jorge Carlos and him home.
Because it wasn’t a video call, that’s why you couldn’t see another person’s expressions.
However, because of his active voice, it was very easy to imagine what they looked like on Jack’s face.
-Dad, we can go back home in a few days, I mean, have you had everything ready,” asked Jack.
-Yes,” Kennedy replied, noticing his head, he had handled everything well.
Jack added, “How do you do it?
-You don’t need to know so much. When you get back, go with your mother,” he said.
After his words, a sound came out of Jack’s nose, and he said, -Without your reminder, I’ll accompany mom.
