"I see. You don't need to explain everything like this Devan," Anna interrupted immediately. Even though she didn't ask the man anything, and Devan had already told her everything he had done with Byanca.
"I just don't want you to misunderstand, honey," Devan replied. He understood how Anna was feeling right now. A woman whose trust has been betrayed by another man is now again trying to establish a relationship with her, Devan knows it may take a long time for her to gain her trust. Therefore, he decided not to hide anything from Anna. Whatever that is.
"I know you don't have to worry about me," said Anna.
"I can understand your situation," she added.
"You're not angry are you?"
"Devan, we are no longer kids. I'm not angry just because of a problem like that," answered Anna.
Hearing that, Devan sighed harshly.
"Mom, Daddy, what are you guys talking about? I don't understand at all," Dave suddenly spoke making Anna and Devan instantly look at the boy.
"Dave is still a kid, you'll understand when he grows up."
"Really?"
Anna nodded.
"Then I want to grow up fast, so I can help Mom if something happens," said Dave making Anna smile widely.
After a thirty-minute journey, their car turned at a crossroads and entered a complex filled with only mansions. Very quiet and only occasionally seen four-wheeled vehicles passing through the road.
Stopped in front of a gate that seemed so high, someone immediately opened it and let the car in.
"The courtyard is very large, in the middle, there is a fountain surrounded by a bunch of lilies of all kinds and colors.
From her position, Anna could see a luxurious and majestic building ahead. Shades of white and gold dominate, several pillars lined with mini fountains in every corner of the house.
"Th-this?" Anna stuttered as if in doubt.
"You like?"
"T-this is too much Devan. I can't live in a house like this," replied Anna.
"If it's for you and my son, nothing is too much, dear. I will give anything," said Devan with a smile.
Not without a reason why Anna said that because the place they were at now was more luxurious and majestic than the house where Devan lived.
"Don't refuse or you'll hurt my feelings," said Devan.
Hearing that, Anna let out a rough sigh. "OK. Thank again," the woman replied.
Devan just nodded, drove his car to a special parking lot in the yard.
"Come on honey," said Devan right after opening the door for Anna.
"Dave and daddy huh?"
"Okay," Dave replied, and with that, Devan lifted the boy's body, carried him in his arms.
"Come on in," he said as he grabbed Anna's hand and pulled her gently out of the car.
Not long after, Leo's car entered the yard and headed for the parking lot.
"Anna, wait for me," Naila shouted when the girl got out of the car and met Anna who was already walking towards the door.
"You scream one more time, I'll hold you," Leo said approaching the girl, and at the same time was given a sharp glare from Naila.
"Come on in," Leo said pulling the girl's arm, walking after Devan into the house.
Entering the two-story house, several maids greeted them after opening the door, there were five people and all of them bowed their heads in respect.
"What's this?"
"I hired them so you don't get tired of living here, honey."
Anna sighed again.
Escorted Anna around for a moment on the first floor, she then pulled the woman's arm towards the elevator in the corner of the room.
"Let go of my hand," Naila said to Leo who followed behind Devan and Anna.
"Ah sorry, I didn't mean to. My hand moved by itself earlier," Leo replied, letting go of the girl's hand.
"You're weird," said Naila following Anna.
On the second floor, there are several empty rooms. Each one is for Anna, Dave, Naila. While some of the remaining rooms were left empty.
"Is this my room?" Naila asked unsure when Devan showed her the woman's room.
Those who were asked just nodded in agreement.
With a big smile, the girl burst into the room. Not only spacious but all the furniture that fills the room is very luxurious and looks elegant at the same time.
"Leo, you take care of him, I'll go with Anna first," Devan whispered in his cousin's ear then turned and walked back with his hands that never left Anna's.
"And this is the room for Daddy's hero," said Devan, then opened the door. Inside was not as large as Naila's before, but for a child of Dave's age, it was already very spacious.
The whole room was decorated in the style of a boy's age Dave, various animated characters filled the walls, several glass cabinets were lined up in the corner of the room all filled with various toys.
"You bought all of this for Dave?" asked Anna when she was in front of the glass cabinet filled with toys.
"Of course, who else if not for my son?"
"That's a lot Devan, you're overdoing it. Dave won't be able to use them all."
"No problem, I'm even still ordering a few more toys from overseas," Devan replied with a smile.
"I don't want my son to be bored in this house," he added.
"You like it, honey?" asked Devan glancing at Dave who was in his arms, and at the same time, a deep sigh could be heard coming out from between the man's lips.
"He's sleeping," Devan said then walked over to the bed and gently put Dave to sleep.
"I didn't realize when he slept," he added, stroking his son's hair.
"He looks a lot like me," he mumbled then laughed lightly.
"Now, let's go to your room."
"Eh?"
"Why, dear?" Asked Devan looking up slightly because he was sitting on the bed and Anna was standing right next to him.
"I'm just here, rooming with my son."
"No, honey. Dave is growing up, you can't stay in the same room with him," Devan replied.
"Come on," he added as he pulled Anna's arm out of the room, leaving Dave fast asleep.
"Don't worry, Dave's room is close to yours," Devan said as he turned the doorknob.
Anna just nodded then followed Devan into the room.
Anna paused for a moment, scanning the entire room with a look of amazement. The decoration of her current room looks very different from Naila's.
In the woman's room, Japanese-style decorations filled almost the entire room. King size bed with low legs, wall hangings, and various abstract paintings framed by wood and bamboo, a mini fountain in the corner of the room surrounded by small white stones, lanterns of various shapes add to the modern impression in the room. Not only that, there are lots of open-air vents making the atmosphere in the room feel fresh and soothing to the eyes.
"You like it?" Devan asked the lady.
Anna nodded that very second.
"Thank you," she said.
