I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1144

Chapter 1144: Keep Your Distance from Ivan

"Go straight home. I'll come pick you up later. Have Auntie prepare some food for you at home. I'll be back in about two hours," Zane's voice came through the phone.

Yanis responded, "Alright, I'll head home first. Let Uncle Dylan and the others know that I'll visit them later."

Zane acknowledged, "Drive safely."

After hanging up the phone, Yanis was about to drive back to D-king Castle when her phone, which was placed beside her, started ringing.

It was a call from Ivan.

Yanis had been busy with her shop lately and hadn't contacted Ivan much. Seeing his call now made her realize that they hadn't communicated for over a month. The last time they spoke was a few days before Sandy and Brandon's wedding, discussing matters related to Madison.

Collecting her thoughts, Yanis reached for her phone and answered, "Ivan?"

"Where are you?" Ivan's voice came through the phone.

Yanis replied truthfully, "I just had a prenatal checkup and left the hospital."

"I'm back in Manches City. Want to grab a meal together?" Ivan's voice echoed through the phone.

Yanis glanced at the time on her phone. "Where are you? I can come find you."

"I just got off the plane. I'll head to the Xie residence first, and then I'll pick you up later."

"In that case, wait for me at the airport. I'll be there soon. Traffic isn't too bad at this hour, so it'll take around twenty minutes."

"Did you go for the checkup alone?" Ivan asked, sidestepping her question.

Yanis confirmed, "Yes. Uncle Dylan and Aunt Rachel had something to attend to at the hospital this morning. Since Phoebe was alone, I asked Ivan to go help her out."

"Yanis, don't always think about others. Sometimes, be a bit selfish and put yourself first," Ivan advised.

Yanis smiled and said, "I know. Should I come pick you up?"

"Take it easy on the road."

Yanis acknowledged and hung up the phone, changing her direction to head towards the airport.

Upon arriving at the airport, Yanis sent Zane a message before calling Ivan.

As Ivan picked up the call, he asked, "Have you arrived?"

Yanis confirmed, "I'm at the southern exit."

"Wait there. I'm coming over."

Ivan soon approached and knocked on the car window.

Yanis rolled down the window and greeted Ivan, "Why did you suddenly come back? You didn't mention it beforehand."

Ivan gestured for her to open the trunk and he stowed his luggage in it. Then he joined her in the driver's seat, waving at Sandy. "Get out, I'll drive."

Yanis didn't argue and got out of the car. "You drive. I'm not really in the mood to drive, and it's quite crowded."

Ivan helped her out of the car and noticed her pregnant belly. He grinned, "It's really something."

Yanis looked at him quizzically. "What's so special?"

Ivan pointed at her abdomen. "There are really two little rascals in there?"

"How did you know they're rascals?"

Ivan supported Yanis as they walked to the passenger side, opening the door for her before continuing, "Just a hunch."

Yanis said, "Zane said the same thing."

"Men's instincts are pretty accurate."

Yanis chuckled. "Alright, let's head back."

Ivan acknowledged and closed the door. He then circled around to the driver's seat and settled in.

Just as Ivan started the car and drove out of the airport, Zane called.

Ivan glanced at Yanis and decided to take the call, saying, "What's up?"

"Why can't you find the car by yourself? Or have you forgotten your way back home? Don't you know what's going on with Yanis?" Zane's voice crackled through the phone.

"I'm delighted to inform you."

Zane sighed heavily. "What are you back for?"

"Why do you think I'm back? Isn't it obvious?"

Zane nearly cursed, "Is Yanis there?"

"Right beside me."

Yanis, upon hearing Ivan's response, looked up at him. "Zane?"

Ivan acknowledged with a grunt and then turned back to Zane. "Do you want to say something to her?"

Yanis shook her head. "It's fine. I already messaged him earlier."

Ivan nodded and said to Zane, "She's fine. She messaged you earlier."

Zane hung up, but Ivan remained on the line, waiting for any other words from Zane.

"Take care of her. I'll come find you guys later."

Ivan couldn't help but chuckle. "Shouldn't you be more polite to me now?"

"Why would I be polite to you?"

Ivan replied, "I'm your small brother-in-law now, aren't I?"

Zane snorted, "I prefer Antonio as a small brother-in-law. He knows boundaries and respects them."

Ivan chuckled, "Sorry, even if you don't like it, I'm still your small brother-in-law!"

Zane simply hung up.

Then Yanis's phone rang.

Yanis answered, "Zane?"

"Keep your distance from Ivan!" As soon as the call connected, Zane's voice sounded from the phone.

Yanis laughed. "Are you done with everything?"
