He went to the kitchen because he was thirsty, only that Anna's presence made Devan want to prank the woman and ended up being kicked out of there. Finally, he left the kitchen without quenching his thirst in the slightest.
Until a few moments later, all of Anna's dishes were served on the dining table, along with Devan who also came down from the second floor with a neat appearance, wearing a casual suit with a very masculine perfume smell wafting from his body.
"Are you busy today?" asked Anna in the middle of their breakfast.
"Why?" instead of answering, Devan even asked back.
"The wounds on my body are gone and only the scars remain. I want to go to my friend's house," answered Anna.
Hearing Anna's narrative, Devan did not immediately respond. The man stood still as if he was contemplating something.
"Okay, I'll take you," said Devan after a few minutes of silence.
Anna, who was a little hesitant with Devan who didn't respond, now suddenly raised her head with a big smile plastered on her face when she heard the man's words.
"Thanks," Anna said, not because she couldn't go alone, it was just that if she did, she was afraid she'd run into Brian's people. Anna didn't want that to happen.
Yes, this last one she asked Devan for help. After that, she would go as far away as possible with her son and Naila.
In Anna's heart, she already felt very guilty for asking for something again from a man who was another woman's future husband. She realized that she shouldn't have done this, it's just that Anna had no other choice and decided to ask Devan for help, after all, wasn't that man also the one who made her the offer a few days ago?
"Then finish your breakfast quickly and get ready," Devan said when he saw Anna pensive in her place and just stared at the food in front of her.
"O-oh, okay. Thanks again," Anna replied.
Devan didn't reply to the woman's words again and just nodded his head.

Wearing a knee-length dress with nav nuances combined with flat shoes given by Devan, Anna then left the room after feeling that all of her belongings were not left behind.
She put her long hair back in a ponytail, seemingly swaying along with the sound of her shoes hitting the floor in unison.
"Have you contacted them that you will come today?" asked Devan when she saw Anna coming down the stairs.
"Erm already. Don't worry," Anna replied with a smile. To be honest, there was a feeling of happiness mixed with sadness that was raging inside her.
Happy that she would soon be meeting her son, and sad that this might be her last meeting with him. Yes, Anna admits that after staying a few days at Devan's house, it turns out that the feeling that she has been feeling all this time is the feeling she has for Devan.
"You know the address, right?" asked Devan then got up from his position which was sitting on the sofa, greeted Anna's arrival.
Anna nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then let's hurry," said Devan grabbing Anna's arm. He was a little unwilling to let her go, and it would also be impossible if he asked her to continue living in his house.
If only Devan had a reason to cancel his arranged marriage with Byanca, also if only Anna had divorced from Brian. Then his relationship with Anna wouldn't be this complicated.
A ragged sigh escaped from between Devan's lips. The man held Anna's hand until he left the house.
Let the past few days be a brief memory with Anna.
And it turned out that what was felt by Devan and all the contents of the man's mind was also felt by Anna. It's just that the two of them were silent, and chose to keep it to themselves.
"You just wait here," said Devan then released his grip on Anna's hand, he then walked towards the garage where Hendra seemed to be cleaning the car.
"Good afternoon sir," said Hendra when he saw Mr. Devan.
Who was spoken to just nodded, did not stop his steps towards his red Ferrari?
"Do I need to drive you?" asked Hendra who followed behind the man.
"No need," Devan replied.
"Okay sir," said Hendra then pulled over a little, waiting for the red Ferrari to leave the garage.
While on the other hand, Anna was still standing in her position in front of the door, obeying Devan's request to wait for him.
While on the other hand, when Devan had reached Anna, the man walked to the other side of the car and opened the door.
"Come in," he said, Devan's expression now not at all excited.
"Thank you," replied Anna. And the same thing was shown by Anna.
At a slow pace, Devan's red Ferrari moved out of the man's compound and joined the other vehicles already on the highway.
Today's weather is very hot, coupled with the busyness of City J and all the noise that fills it, the red Ferrari cuts through the road at a speed that is neither too fast nor slowing down, seems to occasionally stop and get stuck in traffic jams.
Silence, no discussion whatsoever was heard between Anna and Devan.
"What's your friend's address?" asked Devan after a few minutes of silence, the man turned to Anna.
Anna who was leaning her head on the chair reflexively turned to the source of the voice, then said the address where Naila and Dave were.
Devan, who heard this, suddenly froze and he slowed down his car, "Where? Tell me one more time?" Asked Devan asking Anna to repeat what she said to make sure that his hearing was not a problem.
Anna sighed, obeying the man's words. "Apartment X," answered Anna curtly.
The obvious frown on Devan's forehead faded, apparently what he heard was true. "Are you sure there?" he asked.
Anna nodded, "Um, what's the matter?"
"I also have an acquaintance who lives there," Devan replied. He will take Anna to the same apartment where Leo, his cousin lives. Come to think of it, recently Leo never gave him any news or came to bother him like he usually does.
Visiting there, why not visit Leo as well?
"Is that true?" she asked.
Devan just nodded in agreement, the man then took his cell phone, intending to contact Leo's secretary. Yes, even though Devan is so cold and indifferent to Leo, but to be honest, he cares for Leo more than anyone.
Talking to his cousin's secretary for a few seconds, Devan then ended the call.
"Why? Is there a problem?" she asked.
"Maybe I'll also visit my acquaintances in the apartment.. His secretary said, he hasn't been in the office for almost a week," replied Devan, sighing roughly.
