Hearing Devan's name being called, Anna froze on the spot. "Devan? How do you two know each other?" Anna asked curiously.
"It's not what you think, Claire. We've only met once. It seems your relationship isn't simple," Aaron replied.
"No, don't get me wrong. Devan already has a fiancé, and will soon be married. I and that man don't have any relationship," said Anna trying to look calm, even though inside her heart was so sore and tight, even though she tried her best to hold back and try to look fine, her facial expression still changed. and that slight change caught Aaron's eyes.
"Really? Hmm, too bad. I'm starting to like him though," Aaron sighed.
Suddenly a maid approached, distracting the two people who were still busy talking to each other.
"What is it?" Anna asked, raising her gaze and looking at the woman who was already standing next to her
"Sorry Madam, Young Master woke up and was looking for you," replied the Maid and it managed to raise a big question mark in Aaron's mind.
"He's looking for you," she added.
"Alright, tell him I'll be right over," said Anna
"Okay, madam."
"Young Master? Who is it?" asked Aaron with his brows furrowed in confusion.
"It seems I have to go first, my son woke up," said Anna as she rose from her position, ignoring Aaron's question directed at her.
"Eh? S-son? A-alright. No problem, go away," the man replied awkwardly.
Anna just nodded, then walked towards the elevator.
Left alone, Aaron took out his cell phone and called someone.
Until now, he didn't know much about how Claire's life was in Indonesia, or rather Anna. Only a few general things, and even then Devan told it directly. Like how they met accidentally and could be as close as now.
That's all, nothing more.
There was a slight feeling of relief in his heart because his efforts in finding his nephew were not in vain and finally produced results he never expected.
"Brother, I finally met your daughter, she's grown well and she's beautiful too," Aaron mumbled then plopped down on the sofa, trying to relax his body as much as possible. Heaving sighs of relief sounded over and over again, proving that the burden he had been carrying so far had eased a bit.
A few seconds later, his sense of hearing caught the sound of clashing footsteps approaching towards him.
Soon, the man corrected his previous position.
"Daddy?"
A boy's voice that sounded so adorable greeted Aaron's ears. It was Dave's voice, the boy was in Anna's arms with his head on her mother's shoulder.
"Mom, who is he?" asked Dave spontaneously.
Just those two conversations and it had already taken Aaron by surprise. 'Does that mean I already have grandchildren?' Aaron thought cheering happily.
"H-He's my Uncle, honey," Anna said and sat down on the sofa.
"Ah yes, I forgot to say that I already have a son, Uncle," she added again.
"What's his name?" asked Aaron looking impatient.
"Dave, call me Dave, Granpa," Dave answered immediately.
"Hahaha, you even know how to properly address me, honey. That's right, I'm your grandfather, keep calling me that. I like it," Aaron responded enthusiastically.
"Where's your dad Dave? I haven't seen him since earlier, is he at work?" asked the man again.
For a moment Anna was silent as if she was at a loss for words. How did she explain this to her Uncle?
Even the little boy seemed confused to answer and only looked at his mother's lips as if waiting for her to open.
Seeing Claire's response, Aaron cleared his throat softly. As if he realized his mistake. It seemed his question just now was something that his nephew didn't want to discuss and he casually asked.
Who's fault did not finding out all about the woman's life before meeting her. After all, they had just met.
"Forgive me. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. You can tell it slowly later, Claire," said Aaron.
"I just want you to come with me, back to Australia," he added.
"I can't go without my son," replied Anna.
"Don't say such ridiculous things. He is your son, he is also my grandson, which already means you have to take him too. Who the hell stopped you, Claire?"
"Okay then take me away today, Uncle," said Anna immediately. She also can't stand living in the house of a man who has been playing with her feelings.
If only now, she was fine, maybe she would take some time to consider all the things Aaron said to her. Yes, if only.
"B-but..."
"Today or never?"
"Alright, alright. Then I want to contact Devan first, as well as say goodbye to him," replied Aaron.
"No need, Uncle. You'll only annoy him," Anna's response sounded so cold and indifferent.
"Really? Hmm, OK. It's up to you. then I will order the ticket first, hopefully, today there will be a flight to Australia," said Aaron while playing on his cellphone.
Anna who heard that just nodded didn't give any response.
And only a few minutes later, Anna and Dave were ready to leave for the airport. They didn't take anything with them, just a shabby backpack containing a few valuables.
"Shall we go now?" Aaron asked.
Anna nodded in agreement. Hopefully, with her departure, this time can heal a wound that eats away at her heart.
Because staying will only add to the burden and may make her very depressed.
How could she trust Devan so much to the point where she never realized her place in that man's heart? She shouldn't have opened her heart to anyone in the first place.
'Goodbye Devan, I hope you are happy with Byanca. I'm sorry for leaving without telling you anything. And also, thank you,' thought Anna, leaning back in the car seat, without realizing it, the clear tears were again obediently filling her cheeks until they were wet.
"Hurry up, Sir. The flight to Australia is only twenty minutes away," Aaron said to the driver.
"Yes sir." And at the same time, the car was speeding.
"Is it okay to just leave? You don't want to call anyone and tell them you're gone?" asked Aaron after gathering his intentions. He turned to Anna who was busy with the view of the highway they were passing.
"It's fine, Uncle. Don't worry about anything. Af ter all, no one will ever need to hear from me," replied Anna in a very small voice, but the words still sounded clear to Aaron's ears.
"Hmm, fine," replied Aaron while taking a deep breath.
