Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 237 - 237. Aaron's Guess



"Previously I apologize for disturbing your time, sir," said Erik from the other side.

"What's wrong? Tell me directly, don't mince words," Aaron replied.

"Someone wants to see Miss Claire, sir," said Erik.

Hearing that, Aaron's brow furrowed, "Who?"

"Mr. Devan, sir. CEO of D.A group" replied Erik.

For a moment, Aaron froze on the spot. Why did the man want to meet his nephew?

"He's waiting outside the gate, sir," Erik added again.

"When did he arrive?" Aaron asked to be sure.

"Probably about a few minutes ago, sir."

"Hmm, okay. Tell him to come in and wait in the main room, I'll pass this on to Claire," said Aaron.

"Yes sir, according to your orders."

And after that, the connection is lost.

"Who's, Granpa?" Dave asked as he looked up at the man.

"Nobody, honey," Aaron replied, smiling again. But that smile only lasted about a few seconds when he realized something.

How can his grandson's face be so similar to Devan's? This time he just realized it. Even though he had only met the man once, it didn't mean he had forgotten how curvy his face was.

'Could it be…' Aaron guessed but immediately dismissed what had just crossed his mind. But no matter how hard he refuted the allegation, everything seemed to be getting clearer. Especially now that the man wanted to meet with Claire.

Staring unblinkingly at his grandson, Aaron then flashed a faint smile.

"Dave wants to see Daddy?" he asked as he crouched down, leveling his position with the boy. Although this is just a guess, he bets with himself by bringing his grandson to meet with Devan.

"Of course, Granpa," Dave replied with a bright smile.

"Okay, then come with me out, honey," Aaron said then lifted Dave's body and carried him.

"Where's, Granpa?"

"Meeting someone."

"Meeting someone? Then I'd like to say goodbye to mother first, grandpa," Dave replied.

"No need dear. Maybe your mother is still sleeping because she is tired, did Dave have the heart to wake her up?"

Immediately the boy shook his head, "No Granpa. Then don't wake her up. I don't want to disturb Mother, Granpa," he said.

Hearing that, Aaron smiled. "Good, smart boy," he said then rubbed Dave's head which was in his arms with one hand.

Treated like that, Dave also smiled.

They then started to get up and left the room, headed to the main room, where Devan was.

Who initially wanted to tell Claire about the man's arrival, ended up failing. Because of his baseless guess that suddenly popped into his head. Let's say he's a little silly, but he's also very curious. In the end, he chose Dave to prove it all.

"Does Granpa want to take me to see Daddy?" Dave asked, currently they were in the elevator leading to the first floor.

Hearing his grandson's question, Aaron just responded with a smile without making a sound.

"Sir," said Erik when he saw Aaron.

"Where?"

"Mr. Devan is already inside, sir. Please come in," Erik said as he shifted his body to the side, giving Aaron space to pass.

"Erm, don't tell Claire about this," he mumbled back.

"Okay, sir," said Erik, nodding confidently. Although he had many questions in his head, the man chose to keep them to himself, feeling that he had no right at all to question his superiors' decisions.

Entering the room, Dave who was in Aaron's arms looked stunned for a moment when his eyes met Devan's face. And the same thing happened to the man.

For a moment the two just stared at each other.

"Daddy?" shouted Dave at once.

"Granpa, he's Daddy. He's Daddy. Put me down," said the boy again to Aaron while struggling to free himself from the man's arms. Meanwhile, Devan immediately rose from his position.

Hearing that, of course, Aaron was no longer surprised. Because he had expected this to happen.

"Calm down Dave, you'll fall," said Aaron and then continued his stopped steps, entered the room, and lowered Dave on the sofa very carefully.

"Daddy? How long has Daddy been here?" asked Dave immediately, the boy did not stay still, he immediately approached Devan.

Seeing this, Devan immediately welcomed his son, spread his arms wide, and hugged him tightly.

"Yes, Dear. Daddy is here," said the man, tightening his embrace, smiling a smile that seemed so sincere.

Witnessing the scene in front of him, Aaron subconsciously smiled. But the next second he came back to his senses and cleared his throat slowly.

"Welcome, Mr. Devan," said Aaron greeted the man.

Hearing someone talking to him, Devan loosened his grip on Dave, lifted his tiny body, and sat him on his lap.

"Ah, thank you, Mr. Aaron."

"How are you?" Aaron asked pleasantly.

"As you can see."

"Thank God. I never thought that you are the father of my grandson," Aaron said again and it managed to make Devan smile awkwardly. Felt very guilty, because until now he had not married Anna, while their son was grown.

"Ah yes, sorry for not having time to say goodbye to you that time."

"And once again, I am very grateful that thanks to your help, I was able to meet and bring Claire back to this family," he added.

In between his words, a maid entered the room and served drinks and snacks on the table, and then left the room.

After the maid left, Aaron said again, "If I may ask, why did you come here? It seems that your goal is not that simple considering the distance between Indonesia and Australia is very far," asked Aaron without further ado.

"I'd like to see Anna if I'm allowed," Devan replied.

"Do you mean Claire?"

"I have to meet her, I have a lot to say to her. Please, can you help me to meet her?"

Hearing that, Aaron was silent for a moment. As if considering the man's words. Because it was strange for him to see his nephew's relationship with Devan. They already had a child but the way they behaved was not someone who had a close relationship. Aaron became doubtful as to whether Claire was married to that man or….

The information he had asked Erik had also not reached him until now. even though he wanted to know how his nephew's life was before meeting him so that it would be easier for him to act in the future, because if it was like this, he didn't know whether what he was doing or what he wanted to do would be okay or would only hurt Claire.

Aaron is undecided on how to deal with Devan.
