Chapter 255 - 255. Proof (2)

Throughout the journey, there was only silence in the car until the four-wheeled vehicle arrived at the main residence of the Atmadja family.

Walking into the luxurious mansion, several maids were already standing in line to welcome Devan's arrival. Even Madame Seira seemed to be standing between them as if waiting for someone to arrive.

"Ah, you've finally come, honey," Mrs. Seira immediately approached her son with a happy smile.

Devan just nodded, returned his mother's smile, and went inside. Heading to the main room, there were already a lot of people there, Leo's parents, Grandma, Byanca's parents, other relatives who just arrived today, even his father was also there.

"Mom, when is Dad coming?" Devan asked slowing his pace, glancing in Seira's direction.

"Oh, your father? He just arrived today, maybe a few hours ago?" replied the middle-aged woman, embracing her son's arm and looking very reluctant to let go. Devan didn't refuse or protest, as usual, the man just accepted it because today he felt very tired and chose to let his mother treat him as she pleased.

"Today?"

"Why?" asked Mrs. Seira when she saw her son's response.

"How's Leo, Mom?" instead of answering, Devan even asked back.

"He's in his room," Mrs. Seira replied.

"Let him sit first Seira, then ask him. He must be very tired," said Grandma who suddenly stood up to greet her grandson.

"You'd better make him a drink," she added, pulling her grandson's arm against the couch.

"Let me do it, Grandma," said Byanca suddenly. Yes, the woman was there too.

Hearing that, Oma smiled and nodded, "Okay, do what's best for your future husband, honey," she said.

Byanca blushed, her face flushed red with embarrassment. "O-okay Grandma," she replied and left the room.

While Devan, who heard all this, kept his expression flat, didn't protest or do anything like that and still chose to maintain his calm demeanor as if nothing had happened to them.

His hatred for that woman seems to be ingrained. Let alone look at her face, just hearing her voice made his whole body feel very disgusted.

"How is your company? You seem very tired," Mr. Atmadja suddenly spoke, placing the newspaper he had been reading on the table and looking at his only son.

"As usual, everything is fine," Devan replied immediately, leaning his body on the sofa. This was his first meeting in years with his father. Because all this time, only his mother visited often, or if he visited his parents in Australia, his father was never home or doing anything else, so they never met.

Hearing his son's answer, Mr. Atmadja nodded. "Good, if you're having trouble getting ready for your wedding, I can take over the company for a while," he said.

"No need, Dad. I can still do everything myself."

"Good, that's the answer I've been waiting for," replied Mr. Atmadja.

They then had a short talk, a formality that family members usually do when they meet.

Devan only occasionally spoke when someone asked him, it was clear that he had absolutely no initiative to initiate a conversation with other people.

Until some maids come with trays of fresh drinks and some snacks that are suitable as snacks at family gatherings. And Byanca seemed to walk ahead of them, then arrange everything until it was served on the table.

"Please have a drink, Daddy," Byanca said to Mr. Atmadja who only replied with a smile, then turned to Devan and said more or less the same thing.

Even though she didn't get any response from Devan, Byanca still tried to keep a genuine smile on her face.

."Are you guys having a problem?" asked Mr. Atmadja when he saw the interaction of his son and future daughter-in-law and other family members also seem to have the same question, not without reason because, since Devan's arrival, the man hasn't said a word at all to Byanca who is his future wife.

Their interactions are like strangers.

"How is Leo? I haven't seen him at all since leaving the hospital," Devan said changing the subject.

Mr. Atmdja's brow furrowed faintly, it was unusual for Devan to ignore his question.

"If you want to see him, he's in his room, Devan. Maybe still sleeping," answered Mrs. Serly, telling him the whereabouts of her son.

"Later, Auntie. I don't want to bother her," Devan replied.

"Erm, it's up to you," said the middle-aged woman again.

Meanwhile, Byanca, who had just finished arranging the drinks and food on the table, suddenly jumped in surprise because suddenly Mrs. Seira grabbed her arm and pulled her to sit near Devan.

"You should be sitting here, honey. Don't walk away from your future husband," said the middle-aged woman.

Byanca who was treated like that in front of the family could only look down, blushing.

The woman's parents were also very happy to see their daughter being treated so well by her future in-laws.

"You have eaten?" asked Byanca turning to Devan.

The man just nodded in response.

"Good," said Byanca again. After choosing the wedding dress together with Mrs. Seira, she has never returned to Devan's house, because all the family wants her to stay at Atmadja's residence and wait until her future husband comes to visit.

Mrs. Seira, who saw the man's response, smiled awkwardly, loading her brain to melt the atmosphere that suddenly changed slightly.

"You know, they haven't seen each other in a long time. I understand that you two might need some time to get used to each other again," said the middle-aged woman.

"Is that so, Papa?" she asked as she turned her gaze to where her husband was.

Mr. Atmadja only responded with a nod without uttering any more sound.

"I used to be like that with Serly too, do you still remember Ma?" Leo's father suddenly raised his voice while laughing loudly, trying to lighten up the mood.

And finally, the rest of the family joined in. Now and then Byanca joins in, while Devan the man just stays silent and listens.

The man tries to think about how to show the tape to all the family and annul his marriage to Byanca. Because of the current situation, he was a little doubtful. Because it doesn't feel worth it if he just shows it off without a good plan.

He wants to make those moments, Byanca's worst moments, a moment that will remain in her memory for the rest of her life.
