Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

"But it all comes back to you, I just gave a little advice," said Anna and only Naila nodded.

Until a few moments later, dinner was served on the table. Various types of menu ranging from appetizers to desserts.

"It's finished?" Leo asked from the direction of the living room.

"I'm hungry," he added.

Hearing that, Naila turned and gave a nod to Leo, and at the same time, those in the living room headed to the dining table, including Devan and Dave.

"Dave, what do you want to eat?" asked Devan as he lifted the boy onto his lap.

"Anything Uncle," said Dave.

Anna gave a faint smile then took some food for her son

"Just sit him on the chair, you'll be in trouble if you hold him like that," Anna said as she placed Dave's plate on the table right in front of an empty chair.

"I'll just sit in the chair, Uncle," said Dave when he heard his mother's words.

"Okay," Devan nodded then lifted the boy to the empty seat next to him.

Leo and Naila who saw the scene in front of them occasionally glanced at each other.

And after that, they ate together, there was no discussion at all, only the occasional clink of spoons and forks that could be heard colliding with plates.

"Anna eats a lot, I noticed you are thinner than the last time I saw you," Naila said while placing some fried shrimp on the woman's plate.

But, not even a few seconds. Devan transferred all the prawns to his plate, some of which he ate right away.

"Don't eat this one. Eat something else," said Devan after seeing that there were no more shrimp left on Anna's plate.

"What are you doing?" Naila frowned, "That's for Anna, not for you," she added again.

But Devan didn't respond and just ignored him, the man was still busy with the food in front of him.

"You don't like shrimp?" Leo tried to guess.

"Or are you allergic to shrimp?" he asked again.

Naila who heard that immediately turned to Anna.

"She's allergic," Devan answered a question that wasn't directed at him.

"Really? Why didn't you tell me? Oh, I'm sorry," said Naila feeling guilty.

Anna smiled faintly. Turns out Devan remembers little things like this.

"It's okay, just continue eating," said Anna.

"Okay," replied Naila.

Anna glanced at Devan who was also looking at her, smiling at each other.

"Ehem," Leo cleared his throat softly when he saw the sight.

Anna and Devan's reflexes returned to focus on their respective meals.

The night was getting late, Dave had slept with Naila, while Leo, the man was out for a while, he said he wanted to take care of something.

After putting her son to bed, the woman was thirsty and wanted to get a drink in the kitchen. Only when she wanted to return to the room, Devan suddenly grab her arm.

And here she is now, sitting in the living room with Devan.

"What's wrong? I thought you were home earlier," Anna asked before Devan.

"I want to ask you something," Devan replied, his voice very serious.

"Don't you come to work tomorrow? You better go home now, it's getting late," said Anna trying to change the subject.

"Don't try to change the topic, Anna."

Hearing that, Anna fell silent.

"You have to answer me honestly," said Devan again.

Anna still didn't respond at all.

"After that night five years ago, where did you go and with whom? Also what happened to you after that?" asked Devan directly without further ado. He had harbored this question for a long time, and after seeing Dave, he couldn't help but ask.

"Answer me, Anna. Tell me. Did something happen to you?" asked Devan again after waiting a few minutes for a response but Anna never answered all his questions.

Anna took a deep breath, she knew that Devan would ask her this sooner or later, but she never expected that he would ask tonight.

Anna's silence made Devan angry and rubbed his face roughly.

"Is Dave my son?" asked Devan directly.

Hearing that, Anna suddenly ran out of words, not knowing how to answer.

"Anna, I asked you." Devan approached the woman and held her shoulders, their position facing each other.

"Honey, answer me," he added.

"Is that Dave my son?" asked Devan repeating his sentence.

When asked directly like this, Anna suddenly felt awkward, but Devan patiently waited for the woman's answer.

"You just nod if he is my son, honey. Then I won't ask again," said Devan.

Hearing that, with a slow-motion, Anna landed her head on Devan's chest and nodded.

"Is that true?"

Anna nodded again.

Sensing Anna's response, suddenly Devan's heart beat faster than usual, his feelings raced. He closed his eyes for a moment and tried to catch his breath.

After that, Devan then hugged Anna tightly. "I'm sorry," he said.

"I'm sorry Anna."

"I'm sorry, I didn't find you as soon as possible," Devan mumbled guiltily.

Hearing Devan's apology, Anna still didn't budge, She didn't know since when the tears had fallen and wet her cheeks, Anna sobbed. Causing her to tighten her grip even more.

"Why didn't you come to me then?"

Anna sobbed in Devan's arms, "I-I'm afraid..." Anna replied hanging her sentence.

"Now, you don't have to be afraid. I will never go away or walk away from you and leave my son."

"I promise to always be by your side. And I'm sorry," he added again.

"Now stop crying, okay?" Devan said letting go of his hand and then rubbing the woman's cheek which was already very wet.

To be honest, there were a lot of things Devan wanted to ask Anna, all related to her life for the last five years before their meeting at the office, it just wasn't the right time to ask her all right now.

Only by seeing Anna's previous response and hearing the woman's sobs, Devan could tell that Anna's life had not been good.

After all, tell him whose life would be fine if they had to raise a child on their own, without a father by their side?

Therefore, Devan will be patient. Let Anna will tell you everything later.

Knowing Dave was his son, then that was more than enough for him.
