Chapter 72 - 72. I Will Take You Home

Anna who had finished dinner did not immediately get up and leave, she waited until the dining table was empty so she could clean it before going home. Even though it's not her working hours anymore, it doesn't mean she has to just leave when the house is still dirty, because that's her responsibility.

She also won't protest when she is called a maid or something, because what she does in this house is nothing more like a maid, her status as a cleaning worker in the office is just a formality.

From her position, Anna occasionally glanced at the woman she knew whose name was Byanca, Devan's future wife. Her perfect appearance and demeanor are indeed the most suitable to be that man's companion.

What would have happened if she had told Devan that she was pregnant with his boy? She almost ruined someone else's happiness. Although in her heart, she somehow felt a little disappointed, Anna tried to push it away. She had no right to do so, she was just a stranger to Devan and this family.

Then she should maintain an attitude, and not expect anything more.

"Anna..." suddenly someone's call broke her daydream.

"Huh?"

"Aunt Seira has been talking to you from earlier, what are you thinking?" Leo looked at the girl.

"Ah, I'm sorry madam," Anna stammered.

"No problem, where is your house?" asked Mrs. Seira.

Anna then gave her home address, only the general address of the complex name and the street where she lived.

"Unfortunately, we are going in different directions," Byanca replied to the woman.

"Whereas, I'd like to take you home with us, right Mom?"

Seira just nodded in response, she wanted to offer the same thing to Anna, only Byanca preceded her.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Byanca. I can just take the bus home," replied Anna.

"No, it's not good for your health. How about you drop her off, Leo?" Byanca turned to the man sitting next to her.

"Huh? Why me?"

"Then, who else? If only I had brought my car, maybe I would have taken her home. She just realized. Only this night, I need your help, can I?"

"A-ah you don't have to bother with it, Miss. I'm fine now and Mr. Leo, you don't have to take me," said Anna quickly.

The person being spoken to was silent, "Leo comes on," Byanca persuaded as if not paying attention to Anna's words.

"Okay, okay. I'll take her home," Leo replied after a few seconds of silence.

Seira just smiled proudly seeing Byanca's concern for Anna.

"Thank you, Leo."

"So you can't refuse, Anna. Okay? Leo will take you home," Byanca said again looking at Anna.

"You are very kind to me, Miss, sir. Thank you."

"No need to overdo it, I just did what my parents taught me, Anna. Don't hesitate," replied Byanca again smiling.

"Ah yeah Mom, thank you for the cooking, it's very delicious. Hmm I want to learn to cook with Mama, can I?" she said again.

"Of course, for my future daughter-in-law, why not, honey."

"Thank you, Mom."

Seira nodded with a smile that had never faded from her face.

"Anna, clean this," Seira said again and then stood up, followed by Byanca and Leo who had just finished eating.

"Okay, madam," replied Anna obediently then approached the table. Seira, Byanca, and Leo returned to the living room, they chatted for a few minutes, to be precise only Byanca continued to chatter with Seira who occasionally chimed in, while Leo, the man was silent with his eyes occasionally looking towards the kitchen.

The phone rings again, "Mom, I'll pick up the phone first," said Byanca and then walked away from the living room.

"Isn't Devan going to come out?"

"Is Devan always like this, Leo?" she asked again.

"Yes, Auntie. He even slept in the office until morning," Leo replied.

"Omg. The saying is true, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree," Seira said later.

"And you? How's your job?"

"Very well, Auntie."

"Good, I heard you don't have a girlfriend yet?" Seira asked.

"I don't want to get ahead of Devan."

"Tsk."

"Do I need to find one girl for you?"

"Hahaha, no need, Auntie." Leo laughed at his Aunt's offer.

Seira, who saw her nephew's response, smiled, then took out her cellphone from her bag.

"You're not coming down?" Seira was talking on the phone with someone.

"Is this how you treat your mother?" asked Seira

Leo who heard it immediately guessed that Mrs. Seira was currently talking to Devan.

"Mama waits downstairs," Seira said again and then ended the call, not giving Devan a chance to reply.

Only a few minutes later, Devan came out of his room on the second floor, down the stairs to the living room.

"Is your job more important than your Mother?"

"Whereas Mama only visited for a while, you shouldn't work. You can continue it later when I get home," added Seira, clutching her chest again, feeling very annoyed.

Devan, who heard his mother's words, ignored her, "Where's Byanca, Mom?" asked Devan diverting the question.

"Receiving a call," Seira replied while moving the tip of her chin towards where Byanca was.

"You shouldn't ignore your future wife, Devan. She came to Indonesia just because of you, but what are you doing? Since I came, I've never heard you talk to her."

"Are you guys in trouble?"

Devan who heard Seira's question wanted to answer but was immediately thwarted by the arrival of Byanca who immediately sat next to him while leaning on his shoulder, acting very spoiled.

"We're fine, Mom. Don't worry. Devan might just be tired. I understand. Isn't that right, honey?" asked Byanca looking up slightly to see Devan's face.

Devan didn't respond.

"I'm grateful. I think you have a problem," said Seira again, she didn't care about Devan's silence at all, because her son had always been like that, making it difficult for people to guess what he wanted and what was on his mind, including for herself as a mother.

"It's getting late, I should go back to the hotel," Seira said as she put her cellphone back in her bag.

"To the hotel? Why not at Grandma's house?" Devan asked.

"She doesn't know I'm here."

Devan just sighed at his mother's answer.

"Okay, I'll ask Hendra to take you, mom," said Devan standing up and follow Seira.

And of course, Byanca, who was clinging to Devan's arms, did the same after grabbing her small bag which she placed on the table.

"Where are you going?" Seira asked when she saw Byanca following behind her.

"Back to the hotel with you, mom."

Seira turned around, "I will come back alone, you just stay here."
