Chapter 688: I'll Endure and Try to Control Myself

After listening to Bonnie, Yanis laughed, "I think Myles will have an even more exaggerated reaction than you."

Bonnie nodded, "I think so too. He might even cry with excitement!"

Yanis: "..."

The two of them chatted outside for a while and only returned to the private room when Myles called looking for someone.

Then the group moved to another location.

On the way to Starry Bar, Stella was sitting in Zane's car.

After getting in the car, Stella glanced at Zane who was driving and cleared her throat, "Mr. Lawrence, you can treat me as transparent and show affection with Zane as much as you want tonight. I've already eaten enough so I'm not afraid of choking on dog food."

Zane chuckled softly upon hearing her words and said, "I'll try my best to control myself."

Stella laughed lightly after hearing Zane's response and said, "Okay then Mr. Lawrence will have his work cut out for him."

However, Zane didn't get a chance to talk with Yanis during the entire ride because both Stella and Yanis were discussing renovation matters throughout.

Sandy had recently joined a variety show which kept her busy recording episodes so Stella followed up on everything.

Yanis also often went over there to check things out step by step until they had a basic plan.

"By the way, Yanis can we still remove that bay window? Sandy says it's not very practical since it takes up space but she likes bigger rooms," asked Stella while looking at Yanis. Yanis responded promptly, "It should be possible to remove it. Tomorrow..."

He wanted to say that he would go take a look tomorrow morning but remembered Nancy was coming tomorrow morning so he changed his tone mid-sentence,"If you're free tomorrow or any other day we can go take a look together since workers won't be working during weekends."

Stella nodded,"Sure thing. Just let me know when you're available. I have plenty of time."

"Great. Let's set up a time either tomorrow or the day after."

They were one of the first ones there; no one else had arrived yet when they got there.

However, Bonnie sent Yanisa message asking himto tellthe bartender upfront accordingto their previous arrangement. Yanisthen went insideand foundthe bartender, giving Bonnie's nameas reference."Alright, I've already prepared everything here. When will Miss Cooke arrive?"

Yanistooka glanceat his phoneforthe timeand senta messageasking Bonnieaboutit. Bonnie responded quickly to Yanis' message, within three to five minutes.

After seeing Bonnie's response, Yanis turned to the bartender and said, "She'll be here in three to five minutes."

"Okay," replied the bartender.

Stella noticed how happy Yanis seemed while chatting with the bartender and whispered to Zane, "Do you know Yanis?"

Zane furrowed his brow and glanced over at Stella. "Nope."

Stella was surprised. "Then why is he so friendly with that guy?"

Zane looked at Stella for a moment before turning his attention back to Yanis as he approached them. Seeing Stella's wandering gaze, Yanis lowered his voice and asked Zane, "Are you picking on Stella?" Zane raised his hand and pulled Yanis into a hug. "No way! I wouldn't dare."

Yanis looked up at Zane after hearing this statement. "You must have said something."

Ignoring the question, Zane asked instead, "Do you know that guy from earlier?"

"Bonnie wanted me to talk with him about something," replied Yanis.

"Do you know Bonnie too?" asked Zane curiously.

"Why are you suddenly so interested in this?" questioned Yanis.

"Just asking casually," coughed Zane lightly.

Yanis glanced over at Stella just as she looked back towards him. After making eye contact for a brief moment, she quickly shifted her gaze away again saying only: "You guys continue." Yanis was left speechless by her sudden retreat from their conversation.

As Evan and Myles walked in together later on they joked around about how fast they had run there or if they had run through red lights instead of waiting for them all night long outside of the bar like they did not matter; however it was clear that Evan was just trying lighten up their mood when he made fun of Mr. Lawrence's driving skills which were actually quite good considering how well he controlled traffic signals during rush hour traffic jams without causing any accidents whatsoever.

Haider sat down beside them all then turned towards Yannis asking: "So what's going on tonight with Bonnie?"

"I'm not really sure," replied Yannis shaking his head slightly.

"Really?" Haider pressed further.

"Yeah," confirmed Yannis hesitantly adding: "She hasn't been coming into work lately either so I've been helping her out with some things but I don't really know what she's up too."

Evan chimed in again saying: "I've seen those two hanging out together quite often recently... could it be? Is Bonnie pregnant?"

Everyone exchanged glances after hearing Evan's guess but no one spoke until finally someone broke the silence by confirming: "Wow! You actually guessed right!"Haider raised his hand and slapped Evan, "Are you trying to drive your son crazy?"

Evan gasped, "No, what's going on? Can't they have a baby? Is it Myles or..."

"You're the damn problem!" Haider interrupted.

Before Evan could finish speaking, Myles arrived and gave him a slap as well.

Being hit by both of his brothers left Evan dazed. "No, do you two have any issues with me tonight? Can we sit down and talk about it instead of resorting to violence?"

Myles sat down next to Evan. "What do you mean by that smart mouth of yours? Who can't perform?"

Evan looked at Myles with a hint of grievance in his eyes. "When did I say that you couldn't perform? I said there was an issue."

"Isn't that the same thing?" asked Myles.

"Is it the same thing when the words are different?" retorted Evan.

Myles fell silent while Bonnie rolled her eyes at Evan's behavior towards her husband.

"You're lucky he didn't kill you tonight," she said sarcastically.

Evan smirked at Bonnie's comment. "You're already taking sides before we even get married?"

Bonnie glared back at him. "We're about to get married soon! And besides, am I protecting him or protecting you?"

Feeling guilty for what he had said earlier about Myles' performance in bed, Evan apologized to Bonnie while rubbing his arm where she had pinched him earlier. "Why are you pinching people like a woman?" Myles raised an eyebrow and teased him again: "I spared your life tonight because I'm merciful."

Ivan and Mila arrived slightly later due to traffic congestion on their way over.

After some commotion between them all, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Bonnie checked her watch and stood up from her seat: "I need to use the restroom."

"Why have you been running off so often tonight?" asked Myles as he grabbed Bonnie's arm gently inquiringly.

Clearing her throat lightly, Bonnie replied: "I drank too much water."

As he let go of her arm, Miles whispered softly again,"Do you want me accompany you?"
