Chapter 126

โ€œIf she ever needs help with her studies, Yannis can tutor her.โ€

Raymond listed all these advantages, trying to persuade Henry and others to agree to Zinnia living with Yannis.

Yvette and the others were equally astonished that Zinnia could treat Yannisโ€™s insomnia.

Henry asked gently, โ€œZinnia, would you be willing to stay with Yannis? Only if you want to.โ€

The Lynns were genuinely surprised that Zinnia could help with Yannisโ€™s insomnia. They knew just how much Raymond worried about Yannis. Whether out of friendship or simply because they cared for Yannis, the Lynns didnโ€™t want anything bad to happen to Yannis.

But the Lynns felt it all depended on whether Zinnia was willing to stay with Yannis. With Yannis around, the Lynns felt reassured.

Yannis had no ties to the Shaw family, so the Lynns believed that the Shaws wouldnโ€™t dare make trouble in front of Yannis.

No matter how vicious the rumors about Yannis were in their circle, calling him arrogant, sharp-tongued, even ruthless, in the eyes of the Lynns, Yannis was nothing but dependable.

Zinnia met Yannisโ€™s eyes, recalling how heโ€™d recently said he might collapse at home one day and no one would even notice. She bit her lip.

She thought, โ€˜I donโ€™t know when Iโ€™ll have to leave. Before that happens, I should help nurse him back to health. If I can get him better, maybe he wonโ€™t be in such danger anymore.โ€™ The next second, she nodded.

Seeing Zinnia agree, a gentle warmth flickered in Yannisโ€™s eyes.

Watching Yannisโ€™s eyes brimming with laughter, Zinnia felt herself being infected by his cheerful mood and found herself feeling a bit excited as well.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sofia and the others prepared to leave. Her gaze lingered on Zinnia for a moment before finally turning to Yannis. โ€œYannis, weโ€™ll entrust Zinnia to your care,โ€ Sofia said gently.

โ€œSofia, youโ€™re welcome to visit Zinnia anytime,โ€ Yannis said.

Sofia gave Zinniaโ€™s hand another gentle squeeze and said, โ€œZinnia, if you ever need anything, just call us anytime, okay?โ€

โ€œAlright, Sofia. You take care too,โ€ Zinnia said, smiling gently as she met Sofiaโ€™s reluctant gaze.

โ€œZinnia, if anything happens, just call me and Iโ€™ll come get you,โ€ Maisie said before leaving. She wished she could take Zinnia home, but since Zinnia chose to stay with Yannis, Maisie could only say goodbye, her reluctance clear.

โ€œOkay,โ€ Zinnia replied.

With Zinnia now officially entrusted to Yannisโ€™s care, the matter was temporarily settled.

Zinnia glanced at Yannis, who was bent over tidying up the table. Now that it was just the two of them in the living room, she finally asked, โ€œWhy did you ask me to stay? Jackson said you donโ€™t like being disturbed by others.โ€

Yannis paused briefly before saying, โ€œZinnia, youโ€™re not a bother at all. Youโ€™re helping me get better, and Iโ€™ll provide room and board. Honestly, if you left thereโ€™d be no one to eat my cooking. Food just doesnโ€™t taste the same when Iโ€™m eating alone.โ€

Yannis was not one to tolerate disturbances. But he found himself not minding having Zinnia around. He couldnโ€™t quite explain why he made this decision. Maybe it was just a spur of the moment choice, but he didnโ€™t regret it one bit.

Yannis thought to himself, maybe the house just feels too empty. I donโ€™t want to come home every day and never see her petite figure again.

Zinnia said, โ€œIโ€™ll nurse your body back to health as soon as possible.โ€ She thought, โ€˜Once he is better, if Master still hasnโ€™t come for me, Iโ€™ll move out. This is just a temporary arrangement. I wonโ€™t overstay my welcome.โ€™

Yannis replied, โ€œNo rush. I will show you to your room. If you need anything, just let me know.โ€

Since Zinnia had already packed her things, she didnโ€™t have to go downstairs again. Yannis grabbed her suitcase and led her to the guest room.

Yannis said, โ€œZinnia, your room is right here. Youโ€™ll have to make do for now. Tomorrow Iโ€™ll have someone redecorate it to your liking and have your clothes delivered.โ€

Though it was just a guest room with simple decor, everything was of the finest quality. After all, Yannis demanded nothing but the best. Yet Yannis felt it was too plain for Zinnia to live in.

Yannis pondered, โ€˜The color scheme is too monotonous. I will have it redecorated tomorrow; after all, a young girlโ€™s room shouldnโ€™t feel so cold and unwelcoming.โ€™
