Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

He promised, after returning to Indonesia. He will cancel the marriage. No matter what, he would still do it, he wouldn't hold back anymore.

It was only because he had been procrastinating all this time, looking for the right time, that something like this had happened.

He becomes aware that there is no right time because he has to create it himself.

Suddenly, the sound of a cell phone ringing broke him out of his thoughts.

Devan immediately reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a flat object from it. Seeing the new number listed on his cellphone screen, the man's brow furrowed faintly.

He didn't know how many times he saw the number calling him, Devan couldn't count and after he looked around, it turned out that there were many incoming messages from the same number.

Devan sighed harshly, it seemed that the owner of the foreign number had an interest in him, until he finally decided to answer the call.

"Hello," said Devan.

"Finally you picked up my dial, Devan," came a voice from the other end.

Hearing that, Devan's brow furrowed again, "Leo?"

"Yes, it's me, your cousin. Ah yes, this is my new number, don't forget to save it," said Leo.

"What is it? You've been bothering me a lot since yesterday," asked Devan without small talk.

"Where are you now?" instead of answering, Leo asked back.

"I heard you were out of the hospital," Devan said trying to change the subject.

"How are you now?" he asked again.

"The one who should ask that question is me, Devan. Since that time in the hospital, I haven't heard from you. You suddenly disappeared, making everyone here worry about you," Leo said in one breath.

"I'm busy," replied Devan curtly.

"Are you okay? Where's Anna? How is that woman? She's back to health, right?" Leo asked in succession.

"Is she sick?"

"You don't know? Aunt Seira even slapped her when she was sick. Didn't Anna tell you this?" Leo asked.

And instantly, Devan's hands clenched tightly without realizing it, his face was red for no reason. Just hearing that Anna was sick had made him curse himself for not paying attention to her health, especially now? His mother had even slapped her?

This is too late. He didn't know what was going through his mother's mind to do something like this.

It's not that he doesn't love or respect his mother, it's just that. Anna did not have any faults and had to accept such treatment. Anyone would feel angry if they heard it.

"Devan..."

"Devan..."

"Didn't you hear me?" Leo asked, because he had told him at length but got no response.

"Ah yes, what did you say earlier?" replied Devan who regained his consciousness.

"I asked, where are you now? How is Anna doing? Are you okay? You better hurry home, the big family wants to meet you, it seems they want to discuss your marriage with Byanca," said Leo repeating all his words earlier.

"You'd better go home early and cancel your wedding if that's what you want. Do you know? Yesterday, Aunt Seira accompanied Byanca to the boutique to choose the wedding dress," he added, his voice a little lower this time.

"You better go home today and tell the big family about everything. Don't delay too long, it's not good, Devan."

"I can't," said Devan curtly.

"Ha? Why? Don't tell me you changed your mind? Did something happen? I know it wasn't you who impregnated Byanca, I know better than anyone."

"I know that. It wasn't me."

"So? Ah yes, I forgot to say that your wedding date is a few days," said Leo.

"What?"

"Yes, it was Aunt Seira who wanted this. Only Byanca is pregnant, and the extended family approves of it. They all know this and think that the child that Byanca is carrying is yours," Leo explained again.

Devan's jaw tightened.

"that day I had the intention of revealing Byanca's rottenness, it's just that I had an accident. I lost my cellphone, even though I have the evidence there."

"I think the reason I got into an accident is the same reason as the fire in your backyard," Leo guessed, this was just the man's guess, he didn't have any evidence, but somehow this bothered him.

Because the chain of events happened on the same day, and they both had the same thing. Both have evidence of Byanca's dirty play with another man.

"You should go home now and sort things out. Don't delay time too much, Devan" Leo said again, sounding from his voice, he seemed a little emotional.

"I'm advising you because I care about you guys. There's no way I'd let you leave Anna and her son, and marry a woman who is pregnant with another man's child," Leo kept on talking, spilling out all the things he'd been holding back for the past few days.

"I can not."

"Why?" Leo asked a harsh sigh.

"I'm not in Indonesia."

"Ha? What do you mean?"

"Long story. Maybe I'll be back tomorrow or the day after," Devan replied.

"Where are you now?"

"At the Smith family's residence in Australia, Anna's house to be precise," Devan explained again. And that only added to Leo's confusion.

"Anna? Australia? What do you mean Devan?"

"Never mind, it's a long story. I'll be back after finishing my business here," said Devan.

"OK. Because only you can cancel your marriage."

"Thanks for your help, Leo," said Devan. This was a rare and sacred word for Leo, and just because those words left Devan's lips, he was pretty sure that his cousin was not okay.

"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to protect my nephew," Leo replied after a few seconds of silence.

"How are Anna and Dave? They're all right, aren't they?" he asked again.

"Yeah, they're fine. Don't worry," Devan replied.

The way the two of them interacted was very different from usual, and it meant that the problems they were facing were very serious.

"Okay, then I hang up, my mom looks like she's on her way here," Leo said.

"Um," Devan replied simply.

And after that, the connection is disconnected.. At the same time, his sense of hearing heard the sound of footsteps approaching towards him.
