Chapter 873: Reluctant To Return To Viteto


    Chapter 873: Reluctant to Return to Viteto


    While Yanis was on her way to buy groceries with Reed, she decided to make a phone call to Zane.


    The call was quickly answered on the other end, "Yanis?"


    "Do you have time tonight?" Yanis asked directly.


    Zane replied, "I have a meeting with An tonight, should be done around 7. What''s up?"


    "I just came over to Mitch''s ce. His mom got discharged from the hospital, and they invited you for


    dinner tonight. I wanted to check if you''re avable, but if you''re busy, it''s fine," Yanis exined.


    After listening to Yanis, Zane stayed silent for a few seconds and then said, "I''lle overter, but it


    might be a bitte."


    "Aren''t you supposed to have a talk with An?" Yanis asked.


    "Let mee earlier, and I''ll join you after it''s over," Zane whispered.


    Upon hearing Zane''s response, Yanis agreed, "Alright,e over after you''re done."


    After hanging up the phone, Yanis turned to Reed and asked, "Have you picked out everything?"


    Reed looked at Yanis and replied, "Yanis, what do you like to eat?"


    "Anything is fine. I''m not picky," Yanis responded.


    "What about Mr. Lawrence? What does he like to eat? I''m not sure if he''ll be ustomed to my mom''s


    cooking," Reed said while carefully selecting fresh vegetables and talking to Yanis.


    Yanis smiled and said, "He''s fine with anything. He''s not a picky eater."


    In general, Zane wasn''t too particr about food. He could eat almost anything, but if he didn''t like


    something, he would eat less of it or avoid it altogether.


    "That''s good. I was just worried that Mr. Lawrence might not like my mom''s cooking, and he wouldn''t


    feelfortable saying anything," Reed expressed his concerns.


    "Don''t worry, it''ll be fine," Yanis reassured.


    After buying the groceries, they also picked up a few other things before heading to the checkout


    counter.


    "Reed, when you called me earlier, did you want to talk about something?" Yanis asked.


    Reed nodded in response to Yanis'' question and said softly, "Yanis, I want you to persuade my mom.


    Can you convince her to stay in Manches City? Or if she doesn''t want to, can we go back to Viteto


    together? We don''t want to be separated from her."


    "Did your mom tell you why she wants to go back?" Yanis inquired.


    Reed shook his head, "No."


    "Well, if she wants to go back, it''s probably because she feels morefortable with the life back


    home and finds it inconvenient here," Yanis exined. She decided not to mention Marnon''s condition


    to Reed, thinking it would be best for Marnon to talk to him personally.


    Reed let out a sigh, "Yanis, I also have my own selfish reasons. I want to stay in Manches City


    because..."


    "Because of An?" Yanis interjected.


    Reed didn''t argue with Yanis''s straightforward statement and simply nodded, "He said he wants to live


    a good life here and take care of my mom. It''s not easy for him to let go of the past and start fresh here.


    So, I don''t want to tell him that we''re going back."


    "Do you think if you go back to Viteto, An woulde with you?" Yanis asked.


    "If we go back to Viteto, he would definitelye with us," Reed affirmed


    .


    "Reed, An is an adult, and he makes decisions based on what he thinks is right. Even if you go back


    to Viteto and he wants to go with you, I don''t see anything wrong with it," Yanis advised.


    After listening to Yanis, Reed hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yanis, apart from that reason, I


    just don''t want to go back to Viteto."


    Yanis looked at Reed and asked, "Why not?"


    "Because I don''t want to go back to Viteto. There are too many bad memories there," Yanis said,


    unsure of what else to say when she heard Reed''s words.


    Coincidentally, Reed''s phone started ringing at that moment.


    "Go ahead and take the call, I''ll wait in line," Yanis said, pushing the shopping cart and allowing Reed


    to answer the phone.


    It was a call from Mitch.


    "Call An and ask him toe over for dinner tonight," Mitch''s voice came through the phone.


    Reed hesitated upon hearing Mitch''s words. "But what about Mom... will she get upset?"


    "It was your mom who asked me to call you. Just give An a call first," Mitch said before hanging up


    the phone.


    After Mitch''s call ended, Reed stood still for a moment, lost in thought, before dialing the number.


    An picked up the call almost instantly. "Reed, what''s up?"


    "Do you have time tonight? My mom wants you toe over for dinner," Reed said.


    After hearing Reed''s words, An hesitated for a few seconds. "Tonight?"


    "If you''re busy, I can tell my mom to n for another day..." Reed started saying.


    "No need, I''lle tonight," An interrupted before Reed could finish speaking.


    Upon hearing An''s response, Reed whispered, "If my mom says anything, just... just bear with it,


    okay?"


    "Don''t worry, I have some things to take care of first, but once I''m done, I''ll let you know when I''m on


    my way," An assured.


    Reed responded, "Okay, take your time then."


    Meanwhile, at the Lawrence Group...


    After ending the call with Reed, An looked at Zane and asked, "Should we postpone our matter for


    another day?"


    Zane looked back at him and said, "You want to go to the Miller family''s ce tonight?"


    An was slightly shocked and asked, "How did you know?"


    "I''m also going over tonight. We can talk on the way," Zane said, tidying up the things on the table. He


    then turned to Albi, who was standing nearby, and said, "You can go back first. I''ll drive there myself."


    Albi acknowledged, "Alright."


    Once Albi left, Zane looked at An and remarked, "First time visiting, and you''re not bringing


    anything?"


    An rubbed his hands together and admitted, "To be honest, I''m a bit nervous."


    Upon hearing An''s words, Zane looked at him and said, "Nervous? After you managed to win her


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    heart as soon as she turned eighteen, now you''re nervous?"


    "It''s not that. Can you watch your words? What do you mean by ''win''?," An replied, feeling somewhat


    indignant as he stared at Zane.


    Zane calmly stated, "Wasn''t it winning her over?"


    An scoffed, "Not everyone is like you. I don''t know what you said to make Yanispletely devoted


    to you."


    Zane nced at An nonchntly and said, "Same goes for you."


    An raised an eyebrow and stood up. "Alright, let''s go."
