Chapter 1022: That's a Lifetime Thing

After listening to Allan's words, Reed fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that Reed didn't speak for a while, Allan felt a bit uneasy and said, "Reed, this is just my opinion, but in the end, I will respect your decision. No matter what you decide, I'll stand by your side." Reed looked at Allan for a while before finally speaking, "I want to talk to my brother first."

When she first found out about her pregnancy, Reed was a bit excited, but as she calmed down, various problems started to surface. Although Allan was of the age to have a child, she didn't want to have one so early. Just like Allan had said, she still had things she wanted to do and dreams to pursue. She didn't want to be tied down by a child so soon.

After Reed finished speaking, Allan nodded and said, "Okay, talk to Mitch first then."

Reed replied with an "Mm" and suddenly became emotional. She reached out and hugged Allan, whispering, "What if my brother replaces out that we're discussing whether to keep the child or not? Will he be upset too?"

Allan held her tighter and comforted her softly, "He will understand."

Meanwhile, downstairs:

When Yanis went downstairs, Zane hadn't arrived yet, so she went to the kitchen.

Mitch was busy preparing dinner, but he didn't look too well.

After Yanis entered the kitchen, Mitch restrained his emotions a bit and said, "Yanis, why did you come in?"

Yanis walked up to the countertop and glanced at the items, "Let me help you."

"No need, I can handle it myself. You go sit outside for a while," Mitch insisted.

Yanis didn't leave; instead, she started helping Mitch with picking the vegetables. "Two people are faster. I'm getting hungry."

Since Yanis said that, Mitch couldn't say much more. Yanis finished picking the vegetables and put them in the washing basin. Then, she turned to Mitch and asked softly, "Did Allan talk to you just now?" After hearing Yanis's question, Mitch's movements hesitated slightly, but he nodded, "Yes, he did."

"What do you think?" Yanis inquired.

Mitch almost didn't hesitate and directly said, "I think Reed is too young. Having a child now would be a lifetime commitment."

He paused and continued, "Although Allan is at the age to have a child, Reed is still young. Their relationship is still uncertain, and if anything happens in the future... Of course, I don't wish for things to go bad, but I'm just worried about what might happen. That would be a lifetime thing."

Yanis could understand Mitch's concerns.

Allan was eight years older than Reed.

The future was uncertain, and no one could guarantee what would happen.

Moreover, Reed was indeed still young.

After a moment of silence, Yanis asked, "So, you mean..."

"Reed is still young. It won't be too late to have a child in two years," Mitch's meaning was clear.

Yanis nodded and agreed, "That's fine."

Mitch looked at Yanis and said softly, "Yanis, I can't talk to Reed about this face to face, so... can you please help me analyze it with her? I..."

"Mitch, Reed is very sensible. You can tell her your concerns and worries, and she will definitely understand. Besides, I hope you can talk to her personally about this," Yanis interrupted. Hesitating for a moment after hearing Yanis's words, Mitch nodded, "Alright, I'll talk to her later."

"Good," Yanis replied.

When the dinner was almost ready, Zane finally arrived.

Yanis went to open the door, "Why are you so late?"

Zane entered, changed his shoes at the entrance, and replied, "The traffic was a bit congested, so I was delayed."

Yanis took a small gift box from his hands, "Why did you bring something?"

Zane said, "It's a gift from a client. He said his wife likes these snacks, so I brought some for you."

The box contained some snacks that Yanis rarely ate, so Zane hesitated for a moment and decided to bring them to Mia and the others instead.

"Give it to Mia and the others," Yanis smiled.

Zane replied with an "Mm."

Yanis then turned and asked, "Are you tired?"

Zane shook his head, "Not really."

Yanis led Zane into the living room, "Sit for a while, I'll go help Mitch. We'll have dinner soon."

Zane responded with a "Sure."

"By the way, Allan is here. He's upstairs," Yanis added.

Zane nodded.

After Yanis left, Allan came downstairs with Reed.

When Allan saw Zane, he raised an eyebrow and teased, "When did you become a follower? Wherever Yanis goes, you follow?" Hearing that, Zane raised his eyes and gave Allan a nonchalant look, "What about you? You seem to be quite good at it too."

After speaking with Reed, Allan walked over to Zane, "I'm different."

"What's different?" Zane looked at him.

Allan turned his head to speak to Reed for a moment before taking large strides towards Zane, "Of course, there's a difference. You're a guest here, but from now on, this will be my home." Sitting up straight, Allan looked at Zane and continued, "This house was originally lent to Mitch by Myles, right?"

Zane hummed in acknowledgment, "What about it?"

Allan glanced toward the kitchen and then lowered his voice, "I want to buy this house. But I'm not sure about the current property market here, and besides, the house is still in Myles' name. Should I talk to Miss Cooke about it, or should I talk to Mr. Hughs?"

"Talk to Haider," Zane replied.

After Myles left

although Haider had given many things under Myles' name to Bonnie, this house should still be under the Hughs family.

After hearing Zane's suggestion, Allan nodded, "Alright, I got it."

Because of Reed's situation, after Yanis and Zane finished dinner, they left the small apartment, leaving some space for Mitch and the others to discuss Reed's pregnancy.

"Go back to your rooms for now." After seeing Yanis and Zane off, Mitch instructed Taylor Payne and the others in a low voice.

Taylor, Payne, and the others had also sensed that something was off tonight, so they didn't immediately leave when Mitch asked. Instead, they all looked at Allan sitting there with a gaze that seemed to be looking at an enemy.

Allan felt a bit uneasy under their intense stares and sat up straight, "Hey, why are you all looking at me like that? It feels like I've done something terribly wrong."
