Chapter 856: You're Not Nancy's Husband, and I'm Not Nancy

When Fukuma heard Yanis' question, she paused for a moment. "I'm sorry, I'm just used to it. Shall we

change the location then? I remember Maple House is also good."

Yanis quickly responded, catching on to Fukuma's suggestion. "It's fine, I think it's all the same."

Fukuma pursed her lips. "I'm sorry, I'm just used to it, so I made the reservation here."

"It's okay."

Yanis hadn't realized that Ahmed had been gone for such a long time. Fukuma seemed to have moved This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

on, but in some ways, she was still trapped in memories of Ahmed.

Even though Ahmed hadn't treated her well, or even worse.

The two of them didn't bring up any unpleasant topics and casually chatted about everyday matters.

The meal was enjoyable, considering that Fukuma was treating Yanis to express her gratitude.

After they finished eating, they went their separate ways.

Yanis drove directly back to D-King Castle after leaving the Western restaurant.

When Yanis arrived at the doorstep of her home, she coincidentally bumped into the housekeeper

coming out.

"Mrs. Lawrence, you're back."

Yanis nodded. "Is Zane at home?"

"Mr. Lawrence had a few drinks and just came back. He's lying on the couch, saying he's waiting for

you."

Yanis furrowed her brow upon hearing the housekeeper's words. "Okay, you can go back now."

Yanis entered the house, changed her shoes in the entrance, and then walked into the living room.

Zane was already lying on the couch when Yanis entered.

Upon hearing her voice, he opened his eyes and glanced at Yanis before reaching out his arms

towards her.

Yanis approached and hugged Zane. "Why did you drink?"

"I was with Allan, Evan, and Haider," Zane replied.

Yanis made a sound of understanding. "Do you want me to make you some hangover soup?"

Zane pulled her into his embrace. "No need. I didn't drink much. Just lie with me for a while."

Yanis agreed and adjusted her position in Zane's arms. "Zane, can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

Yanis went over the phrasing of her question in her mind several times before asking, "Zane, if, I mean

if, one day when I'm giving birth and the doctor asks you to sign something, would you be more

concerned about me or about the baby?"

Yanis asked this question because earlier at the hospital, she noticed that Nancy's husband seemed

completely focused on the baby. From the moment Nancy went into the operating room until they

returned to the ward, he didn't ask about Nancy's condition at all.

Yanis initially thought that Nancy had found a man who truly cared for her and that they would live a

happy life together. But after seeing the situation today, she realized that appearances could be

deceiving, and Nancy's life might not be as smooth as it seemed.

When Nancy used to come over often, Yanis thought that Nancy had chosen the right person, but after

seeing the reality, Yanis realized that Nancy's life might not be as ideal as others perceived.

Upon hearing Yanis' question, Zane didn't immediately answer. Instead, he lowered his head to look at

her and softly asked, "You took Nancy to the hospital today? Was the delivery difficult?"

Yanis didn't expect Zane to ask that, but when their eyes met, she didn't deny it. She recounted

everything that happened at the hospital to Zane, including Nancy's husband's attitude and his lack of

concern for Nancy throughout the entire process, even during the moment of signing the surgery

consent form. It was evident that Nancy's husband only cared about the baby and never genuinely

showed any concern for Nancy.

They say that a husband's attitude during childbirth determines the smoothness of their future life

together.

Based on Nancy's husband's behavior, Yanis believed that Nancy would likely encounter countless

problems in her marriage.

It wasn't that Yanis wished them ill, but it was human nature. When you need comfort the most, and

nobody utters a word, it can truly be disheartening.

"I'm not Nancy's husband, and you're not Nancy," Zane finally spoke up.

While Yanis was still thinking about Nancy, Zane's voice suddenly sounded above her head.

Upon hearing Zane's words, Yanis snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at him. "What do you

mean?"

Zane tightened his embrace around Yanis. "I won't behave like Nancy's husband, and you won't have

to worry about anything."

Yanis smiled upon hearing Zane's reassurance and raised her hand to hug him back. "I know, I was

just curious."

Zane acknowledged with a sound of agreement.

The two of them continued to embrace on the couch for a while until Yanis finally spoke up. "Are you

not going back to the room?"

Zane shifted his body upon hearing Yanis' question. "I will."

Yanis sat up first and turned to look at Zane. "Are you sure you don't want me to make you some

hangover soup?"

Zane stood up from the couch and replied, "No need."

Saying that, Zane extended his hand towards Yanis. "Give me a hand?"

Yanis stood up and reached out to hold Zane's hand.

Zane, following Yanis' lead, stood up from the couch and held Yanis' hand, and together they went

upstairs.

The next morning, Zane left for the office early.

By the time Yanis woke up, Zane was no longer in the room.

Yanis freshened up and went downstairs. The housekeeper had already set breakfast on the table and

said, "Mrs. Lawrence, today's breakfast was personally prepared by Mr. Lawrence for you."

Yanis looked towards the table upon hearing the housekeeper's words. "What time did he leave?"

The housekeeper pondered for a moment. "It was about an hour ago. Albi came to pick up Mr.

Lawrence."

Yanis nodded. "Alright, I see."

Yanis had breakfast and then drove to her store.

Today, she had an appointment with a client to discuss the details of a jewelry piece.

Due to the client's afternoon flight, they had a tight schedule and decided to meet in the morning.

When Yanis arrived at the store, the client was already waiting at the entrance.

Yanis walked up and greeted her, "Have you been waiting long?"

"I just arrived too. I was about to call you if you hadn't arrived within half an hour. But you're here so

quickly."

Yanis chuckled, "There was heavy traffic on the way, so it delayed me for a while."

"It's fine, I arrived early."

"Let's go inside."

Yanis led the client inside.

The client was straightforward and after finalizing the details, she directly paid a deposit to Yanis. "I

might be back in two weeks. If the items arrive early, please keep them here until I return."

Yanis responded, "No problem. Once they arrive, I'll take photos and keep them safe for you."

After seeing the client off, Yanis walked back inside. She noticed Alfie squatting near a flower pot,

muttering something to himself.

Yanis approached and stood behind Alfie, trying to listen, but she couldn't understand what he was

saying. She finally called out, "Alfie?"
