Yanis felt as if his breathing and heartbeat had stopped. Her brain was directly frozen, going blank, sitting stone-faced on the spot.
He watched Zain, who was led by the waiter and entered the box.
She hadn’t seen him in a long time, but he looked no different from before. The figure was still erect, the face, fresh and handsome, the shirt and tie he wore, meticulously cared for, and the buttons of the suit, neatly fastened. That one could see at a glance the man’s sternness.
Jack laughed furtively at his side.
Zain had had a cold face, entering expressionless. After noticing something out of the corner of his eye, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
But it was only a pause. He returned to normal, and sat down as if he hadn’t seen it.
-Lord Zain, that’s it.
-Uncle Zain.
Jack called out to the man who came, miming, as he looked at Yanis out of the corner of his eye.
She lowered her eyes at that moment. The fallen bangs covered all the emotions in her eyes. The look made them think she was embarrassed, so she lowered her head.
She only knew herself that she was not at peace at that moment.
She uncontrollably trembled her hand under the table. Yanis resisted the urge to get up and walk away, sitting there suppressing her emotions all the while.
Why…
She spent so much time trying to forget that man. She became quite a busy person for a period. Became less and less time and frequency to think about him, until she thought she could forget him completely for more than a while.
Nevertheless, he appeared.
And, Yanis’ heart was touched again.
He had never thought Jack would have such a plan. It was no wonder he was pressing his cell phone a moment before, and suddenly said he would want to eat steamed fish at the restaurant.
Earlier, he called her and told her clearly that he wanted to eat the food made by her.
He changed his mind in an instant. There should be something happened in that.
She was also really stupid, that she hadn’t thought twice, so she followed the boy without warning.
Then… what would he ponder?
What would she think of herself?
It would be possible that he thought he was bothered by her, wouldn’t he? She had already made it clear to him, but in the end he still appeared there.
Thinking about it, Yanis felt dizzy. Fortunately, she was sitting down. She was sure that if she had been standing, she would have weakly dropped her legs.
Yanis had no idea why she was so disappointed, but… in fact, it was so pointless.
She considered that she had forgotten him with the time flying by to forget him, but she didn’t expect to see him with the useless as before.
-Zain, I ordered food for you, so you don’t need to repeat yourself anymore.
Jack’s voice came from his side, and Yanis’ sanity was slowly restored a little. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
-Yes,” Zain answered with a cold tone, but he faced Jack a little softly. When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me to pick you up?
-There’s no need, Zain. Mom told me you were too busy at work, so she didn’t inform you because she was worried about you. You should take care of yourself!
-Well. Of course.
Talking, Jack noticed that Yanis was exceptionally silent. When he looked at her again, he found that Yanis was still lowering her head. He blinked and couldn’t help but ask her, -What’s the matter, Yanis, why aren’t you talking?
Yanis, who was called by name, took a deep breath. He slowly looked up and flashed a pleasant smile at Zain.
-Hello, sir, Mr. Zain….
Zain looked at her over the smile on his face that was uglier than tears. Then he nodded slightly, -Hello.
Alienated as a stranger.
Yanis pinched his hand under the table and bit his lower lip lightly.
According to the way they were getting along, the two of them shouldn’t greet each other as two strangers. But back then… they were both worse.
That was all caused by her self-love, taking herself as her favorite person.
If… if she hadn’t clung to him with affection in the first place, the situation wouldn’t have been like this.
At least, it wouldn’t be so rigid the relationship with him wouldn’t be so rigid.
Wait!
Yanis denied violently in his heart.
“Yanis, why are you still thinking that at this moment? You’ve decided to forget about the man in front of you. So what are you doing sitting here, do you want to continue to entangle yourself?” she thought.
“Do you wish to continue this kind of constant and chaotic relationship? Or do you feel like going back to that tired and lost Yanis?” she thought.
No!
She couldn’t go on like this. She should get out of there.
After waking up, Yanis decided to go out, so she pretended to remember something and suddenly told them, -I… I… I just remembered that I had an appointment today to talk about something. I’ll be late soon. Since Mr. Zain is here, will you mind sending Jack home later, that you don’t let his mother worry. Me, I’m leaving now.
Finished everything, Yanis stood up straight. Perhaps his movements were a little big. When she stood up, the chair was knocked over by her.
Yanis’ expression changed, and he propped it up quickly, haphazardly and unwisely.
Jack found something wrong finally and his little nose wrinkled.
What had happened?
He… Was he doing bad things with good intentions?
-Sorry… Enjoy yourselves. I’m leaving now…
Leaning against the chair, she took the bag and walked quickly to the door with hurried steps and ran away as fast as she could.
Jack called out to her, -Yanis….
However, Yanis who was called by him did not seem to hear his voice at all and disappeared after leaving the box.
After the series of incidents, Jack became depressed. As Yanis left, he could only concentrate on Zain.
-Zain…
Zain smiled slightly, -Since she has something to do, enjoy your meal. Then, I’ll take you back.
Then, Zain raised his hand and poured him a cup of tea.
Jack didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t know if it was his illusion. He always felt that his uncle looked so gloomy!
Because he had promised Yanis that he would help her, that time he made an appointment with his uncle, who wanted to create opportunities for both Yanis and Zain.
But the reaction of the two was really abnormal.
Could it be that something had happened that he didn’t know about during the time he was with great-grandfather?
He had a thousand questions in his heart, but he did not dare to ask Zain at all.
On the other hand, Yanis, after leaving the box, sped walking a long way forward before stopping. He soon discovered that his legs were so soft that he couldn’t go any further. Just as he bumped into a waiter coming to the front, he grabbed the person right away and asked.
-Excuse me, where is the washroom?
