Zain went to wash his hands at once while everyone sat down.
The people seated at the table were acquaintances. The atmosphere of this lunch should be relaxed, but because of the relationship between Yanis and Zain, everyone felt uncomfortable.
Yanis was avoiding Zain since he came in, just drinking rice without talking to the man. Zain said nothing, and was as calm as if nothing had happened.
Alice thought that the problem between Yanis and her brother had to be solved, even if she took the extreme measures, right?
However, it was not convenient for her to speak her mind in front of Jack, Alice glanced at her son to hint at it secretly.
As her son, Jack had never disappointed her.
-Mom, Uncle, Yanis, I’m full,” he understood at once what his mother meant. She put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, I’m going to the bedroom.
-Are you full? -Hearing this, Alice asked him, pretending not to know anything about it, “How little food you ate! Why don’t you eat more?
-I can’t eat any more, Mom. -Jack shook his head.
Zain pursed his lips, looking at Jack with a complicated look. Jack figured it out, smiled at Zain and left.
After her son left, Alice smiled and raised her head to talk to Zain, but unexpectedly discovered that Zain was looking at her. Although nothing was expressed, it seemed that Zain was left with no remedies with his sister.
“Have you guessed what I’m going to do, how well do you know me Zain?” Alice thought.
-Zain, is that…
-I’m going to take a look at Jack, since he ate so little. -As soon as Alice spoke, Yanis who was standing next to her stood up excitedly as if she was scared.
After saying so, ignoring Alice and Zain’s reactions, she hurriedly left them running.
Alice was stunned.
What was the matter? She still hadn’t had time to talk to Yanis, and she was gone. How long could she stop avoiding everything? Alice felt a little unhappy. She deliberately asked Jack to leave, just to talk about the issues the children couldn’t hear. In the end, Yanis slipped away.
Indeed Alice’s efforts were in vain.
Alice sighed heavily, then looked at Zain again.
-Are you horrible? Yanis is scared of you again.
Zain took a sip of the soup calmly, with a usual expression and looked at her sister when he heard the words.
-Aren’t you the one who scared her away?
Alice snorted, -Why am I the one who scared her, would she be so shy if you hadn’t been here?
Hearing that, Zain didn’t answer, but furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Until now, the girl was still afraid of him.
After that night, the relationship between the two of them had always been lukewarm, without any development. She didn’t treat him as coldly as before, but … it wasn’t much better than before. Yanis was like a bird frightened by a bow. And he was the hunter holding the bow.
Although he didn’t have an arrow in his hand.
-Perhaps because I look scary? -thinking about this, Zain pursed his lips and said lightly.
Alice was speechless.
What a silly words he said!
-Zain, what are you thinking?
Zain looked at her.
-You said before that you didn’t plan to fall in love and just wanted to take good care of me, didn’t you? I believed you. And now? After kissing and provoking that girl, you can still sit here quietly, which is too irresponsible, isn’t it?
Although it seemed that the comments Alice had just said were dedicated to reproach Zain, her tone wasn’t negative at all, and she even showed him a complicated expression.
Was his sister making fun of him?
-Did she tell you this?
-Yes, is there a problem? Why can’t she tell me if you dare to? -Alice was stunned and then realized what Zain was referring to, so she nodded without hiding anything.
Zain said nothing more.
But Alice had no intention of ending the conversation.
-Zain, I think I know you too well. You should fall in love with her a long time ago, but due to certain factors, you have repressed her feelings and think that you won’t be in love with anyone in your life, right? Seriously, there are only the two of us left in the Nelson family. Since I am the only family of yours, I don’t wish you to be single for some reason when you are old. And the most important thing is that in many cases if you miss it, it won’t give you a chance to get it again.
Zain was silent.
-I know.
I already knew it since Yanis began to take an indifferent attitude towards him.
But at that time his feelings to her were not so strong, until suddenly she hated him, and was not moved when he stood at the door of the store all day, and even when he had a blind date with others.
-You know, I thought you didn’t know. After you kissed him, you didn’t take any action. To tell you the truth, even though you’re my brother, I don’t want you to hurt Yanis. If you don’t like her, you won’t see her again.
Zain was surprised, narrowed his eyes and stared at her.
-She doesn’t need a person who is always irresolute and hesitant when faced with her feelings. What she needs is one who is serious and responsible. If you continue like this, I think Nathan will be a better better better half than you.
Although she felt sorry for Nathan, Alice did not lie to him. She had always thought that Nathan and Yanis were more suitable, but love was a private thing, and no one had the right to decide for others who they should fall in love with.
Yanis liked Zain and Alice should not intervene anymore.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Zain withdrew his gaze first, lowered his head and slowly took a sip of the soup. Then he put the bowl on the table and spoke nothing.
-Don’t worry Alice. As for what you told me, I know how to do. You can look forward to giving birth with peace of mind.
Listening to him, Alice was a little angry. She was so furious that she wanted to hit him with the plate.
-What are you thinking? -She said, “Is there anything you can’t tell me? What does what you just said mean? Do you know how to do it?
-I want to propose to her first. -Zain thought about it and finally told her.
Alice was shocked.
How? How unbelievable!
She realized what Zain meant after a few seconds of confusion. It turned out that… He wanted to propose to her? His concern is superfluous, isn’t it?
Alice saw him with a complicated look. She thought she wouldn’t be the person Zain loved the most, but… she was happy for Yanis.
After all, soon Yanis would get what he wanted.
The person she liked she loved her too, which was something else blessed.
Yanis followed Jack back to the room to dodge everything that happened outside, but the happy moments would soon pass. After lunch, Alice called her and told her that her brother wanted to talk to her.
-You won’t tell him what I told you, will you? -Yanis had goose bumps at the same time.
-No, since you’re not here, what was the point of that? -Alice blinked, “Maybe Zain wants to talk to you about something else. Anyway, don’t be afraid, tell him your love bravely.
Yanis looked at her without remedy. He regretted very much that he told Alice the truth. In the end, he shrank back and went out to look for Zain.
