Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 35 - 35. Price For An Explanation (2)



"Now explain," Devan said again, ignoring what Leo had said to him.

"That woman is Anna."

"Without you saying I already knew."

Leo chuckled at his cousin's reply.

"I don't like repeating myself, Leo. Stop playing around."

"Okay, okay," Leo said then cleared his throat slowly.

"I met them at the City Park this afternoon, when I was accompanying Grandma," Leo began.

"The man in the photo is Anna's husband, and maybe the little boy is their son? I don't know."

"You guys didn't do 'sex' first did you?" Leo asked at last in a tone of voice pressed on a certain word with his eyes narrowed suspiciously.

Devan froze and fell silent hearing Leo's words, "I don't need an answer like that, I just want to know why you sent that trash to me," Devan replied in a flat and cold tone of voice.

"Weren't you looking for Anna's whereabouts?" Leo asked.

"Huh, my time is too precious for such a trivial thing."

"Is that true?"

"If you don't understand my question, you better go home," replied Devan rising from his position.

Leo smiled faintly at the change in Devan's demeanor which grew colder, "I'm just a joke, my cousin, don't scold me like that," Leo said in a made-up tone of voice.

"Besides, take a good look, isn't Anna's smile in the photo very beautiful to look at? It's very clear that this woman's life is currently really happy with her little family," he said while noticing the change in expression that might have formed on Devan's face, but unfortunately, he didn't find any expression. Just flat as usual.

"Stop babbling and get out of here," said Devan, starting to get up from his position.

"Eh, wait a minute. You didn't forget the previous agreement, did you? You have to accompany me..."

"Whatever," cut Devan who had walked away from where Leo was, up the stairs and into his private room which was on the second floor, leaving Leo alone.

Leo sighed deeply "Hmm, still want to lie to me Devan? I'm your cousin, no one else," he muttered and then got up from his position.

Even though Devan didn't say it directly, he knew very well that his cousin had deep feelings for Anna. If not, then why does Devan seem to have changed so much after that woman's disappearance? Even had very bad sleep problems. Not only that, several times, he accidentally heard Devan talking to someone on the phone and mentioning the woman's name.

Not without reason Leo sent the photo to Devan, he just wanted to show his cousin that the woman he's been looking for now has a life of her own and to stop thinking about her anymore.

"Because I'm your very kind and handsome cousin, I've done what I could. I hope that after tonight, you can forget about Anna slowly, MUST." Leo shouted in a very loud voice, then turned and walked towards the exit.

"She is married to another man, and also has a child," he shouted again turning around, but received no reply at all from the cold-faced man.

"The women in this world are not only Anna, let's date a lot of women as we did before," he shouted again in a louder voice.

"Don't let your manhood rust," he added, then laughed as he approached the door.

"I …." His words hung when a hard object suddenly landed right on his shoulder.

"Arghh-Shhh.." Reflex Leo turned around and found an Ipad lying pathetically on the floor.

"Stop shouting and get out of here," shouted Devan, appearing briefly behind the door to his room on the second floor and then shutting it violently again.

"You're so bad at throwing things at me like this," Leo replied, wincing in pain.

No more replies and after that Leo left the house.

"This is for you," Leo said as he handed the Ipad to the security guard near the gate of Devan's house right after lowering the window of his car, it is the Ipad belonged to Devan which hit him a few minutes ago.

"S-Sir?" The middle-aged man looked confused. The iPad is still intact, only has a slight crack at the edges, and is still on. If Leo guessed, the Ipad might be worth hundreds of millions? Or even billions?

"You can sell it, it's still good."

"B-but..."

"Do not worry. The owner of this Ipad has already thrown it away, and I've checked its contents in case it's anything important."

"I don't need it either. Take it."

"Don't refuse. I'll go first," said Leo again ahead of the middle-aged man, then drove back his car without waiting for a response from the security.

The middle-aged man is just staring in confusion at the extremely luxurious-looking object in his hand

Nico's Residence

____________________

Since their return from the park, Anna has been mostly silent. And it became more pronounced as dinner progressed. Usually, the woman will talk, invite Nicho to make small talk while enjoying dinner.

Like now, the woman never spoke a word. Only made a sound when offering food to Dave, the rest were just silent while staring blankly at the food that had just decreased a little on her plate.

"Uncle, Mom. I am full. I want to go back to my room, may I?" The boy suddenly made a sound and managed to break the silence.

"All right, I'll catch up after tidying this up, honey."

Dave just nodded then left the dining table, leaving Anna and Nicho.

Silence and awkwardness, that's how Nicho felt right now.

"Are you sick?" asked Nicho who could not stand the silence of the woman in front of him.

Anna only responded by shaking her head. She looked down, since earlier, her head was only filled with someone's face, even though she had tried her best to forget him, but instead of disappearing, the image of the man's face seemed to be getting clearer.

"Was the man in the park Dave's dad?"

"NO," Anna answered spontaneously with her head raised.

"Then?"

"Are they related to Dave's father?"

"I'm full," replied Anna suddenly standing up from her seat.

"Alright, alright. I'm sorry, sit back and finish your food," said Nicho immediately grabbed Anna's arm and pulled her back to sit.

"Don't refuse Anna, I've been watching you for a while. Sit down and eat or I'll force you and feed you?"

"I can eat by myself," replied Anna, sitting back down and continuing to eat.
