Chapter 176 - 176. Love Confession (3)
The red Ferrari then slowly sped up and out of the baseman's apartment X.
Until several hours passed.
Anna had finished with the menu in front of her, the woman had eaten very well and now she was very full.
"You still want to visit somewhere before heading back to the apartment?" Devan asked Anna.
"May I? Naila texted me to buy milk for Dave."
"Is he out of milk?"
"It seems so." Anna nodded.
"Oh, is Naila your friend?"
Anna nodded in agreement because it was like that. She already considered the girl her friend.
"Okay, we'll stop at the supermarket."
"Do you have time? I didn't bother you, did I?" she asked.
Devan smiled faintly, "I'm free today."
"Okay, thanks," said Anna.
The man just nodded in approval.
After that, they got out of there. Head to the nearest supermarket. No talk was heard in the car. Silence ruled the atmosphere making them a little awkward.
"What's his name? Dave?" Devan suddenly spoke.
Reflexively Anna turned and nodded.
"How old?" asked Devan again feeling very curious.
"Four more years," Anna answered, and that made Devan pause for a moment.
"Is that Brian's son?" asked Devan courageously.
"Why? You don't like it?" Anna replied an answer that Devan didn't expect.
"No, I was just asking, Anna."
The person she was talking to just nodded, looking back at the vehicles passing by along the highway. Even though she already knew Devan's feelings for her, Anna didn't want to tell him about her son's whereabouts. Let it be a surprise for him. After all, sooner or later they will surely meet.
Entering a supermarket parking lot which is not too big, without waiting long Anna and Devan immediately got out of the car.
Currently, Anna's appearance was slightly different. The woman no longer tied her hair back. The kiss marks that filled her neck made her want to part her hair to cover up the red marks that Devan had done.
Devan grabbed Anna's tiny hand and held it, pulling her through the crowd that filled the supermarket.
Only about a minute or two, they finally arrived at a shelf filled with various types of milk and ages. Immediately Devan took some of the most expensive cans of milk and put them in the shopping cart.
"No, not this one," said Anna suddenly moving in front of Devan and blocking the man from walking.
One of Devan's eyebrows raised, "So what? Dave is 4 years old right?"
Anna took a deep breath, then put the cans back in their place. "I don't have enough money to buy all that, Devan," Anna said as she reached for the red bottled milk, and it was the only milk her son usually drank and according to her pocket, Anna took a few boxes and put them in the trolley.
"Just this one," Anna added again.
"Don't do it, Anna, this one is better. Don't worry, I will pay for it for you," said Devan, making Anna reflexively lift her gaze and look at him.
"I still have money and don't need yours. This one's good anyway," Anna replied as she pulled the trolley, wanting to get away from there.
Hearing Anna's words, Devan sighed harshly. "Hmm, okay. It's up to you," he said following the woman.
"You still need something?" asked Devan, equating his position with Anna.
"Maybe some groceries or the like, I'm reluctant if I come without bringing anything," Anna replied as she looked around looking for things that might be on her shopping list.
After arriving at the alley selling all kinds of groceries, Anna immediately took some fruits, vegetables, pasta, and the like and put them into the cart.
Devan took the meat and some other food, "I'll pay for this," he said before Anna protested again and returned everything he had just taken.
The woman did not respond, only glancing at him briefly.
After feeling that all the things she needed were met, Anna pulled Devan to the counter.
"Let me pay for my groceries first," said Devan walking ahead of Anna, while taking out his black card.
Anna gawked when Devan turned out to pay for all her shopping.
"Don't do it again, I don't want you to see me like that. I still have money and can pay for it myself," said Anna right after entering the car.
"Okay. I'm sorry. Next time I'll do it again," replied Devan with a chuckle, the man then started the car engine without paying attention to Anna's gaze that seemed to be skinning him right then and there previously, he had expected that Anna would say that given the woman's true nature who always felt that she could do everything herself.
"I have a lot of money, Anna. You can use it as much as you want, don't hesitate," said Devan again.
"I'm not at all interested in your money," Anna replied immediately.
"Tsk tsk, but you took the money you refused back then."
Suddenly Anna became awkward, "Th-that's… that's because I had to," she stuttered.
"If you ask for it back, I will return it, but gradually. because I can't if I have to pay it all at once," added Anna again.
The corners of Devan's lips lifted into an arc, smiling. "No, you don't have to. I was just joking," said Devan immediately.
"Who's serious anyway?" Anna grumbled, her voice so small that only she could hear clearly.
"What?" Devan glanced over.
"No, it's nothing," Anna replied in her usual voice.
After only traveling for about ten minutes, they finally re-entered the baseman's apartment X, which was their original destination.
"I'll take you first, before going to my acquaintance's room," said Devan helping Anna lift the cardboard containing the groceries they bought earlier.
"Thank you."
"Um," Dean nodded.
Entering the elevator, Anna then pressed a button marked with the number five. Devan who saw it still looked normal and didn't suspect the slightest that he was currently heading to Leo's apartment, his cousin.
"What a coincidence, my acquaintance also lives on the same floor," said Devan.
"Is that true?"
Devan nodded in approval.
Getting out of the elevator, Anna immediately looked for the apartment room number listed on her cellphone screen.
At first, Devan felt normal and thought that all of this was just a coincidence, now suddenly frowned as Anna stepped closer to Leo's room.
"Ah, there it is," Anna monologued as soon as she approached the door of the room which had the same number on the screen of her cell phone.
Devan froze on the spot when he saw Anna who was already standing in front of the door.. It was Leo's room. How could it be?
