Chapter 157 - 157. Jealous
Not feeling the movement of the woman next to him, Devan turned around with his body still leaning, and at the same time, he sat up straight.
"Is it your habit to sleep anywhere?" Mumbled Devan put his cell phone back on the table, intending to move Anna to his room, only his hand movement stopped when the doorbell rang.
Hearing the tone of the button being pressed, Devan turned towards the door and found Hendra there, the middle-aged man immediately entered and walked towards him without closing the door again.
"Good afternoon, Sir," the middle-aged man greeted after bowing in respect.
"Um, what\'s wrong?"
"This is the item you asked for earlier," Hendra replied as he handed the man a sim card.
"Just put it there," Devan replied with his chin pointing at the table in front of him.
"Yes sir."
"Would you like anything else?" asked Hendra.
"No, you can go now."
"Okay, then I\'ll excuse myself," said Hendra farewell, and at the same time, Devan turned back to the woman next to him. Slowly lifted her body very carefully and carried her into his arms.
While on the other hand, Hendra who had reached the door suddenly froze when he saw Miss Byanca suddenly appearing at the door.
"W-welcome, Miss," Hendra stuttered while saluting.
"Devan is there, right?" she asked.
Hendra choked not knowing what to answer. If he had the right, he might have taken her away from here before he saw Mr. Devan with Miss Anna.
Seeing the silence of the middle-aged man in front of him, Byanca\'s brow furrowed, didn\'t wait any longer, she just walked in.
"Honey," Byanca called in a voice that echoed through the house.
"Honey, I..." the woman\'s words trailed off when she saw Devan climbing the stairs with someone in his arms.
Byanca immediately quickened her pace, approaching the man.
"Devan, who is…" Her question was answered right after he got to the man\'s side.
"Anna?"
"Why is this woman here?" Byanca\'s breathing was heard to start rushing, her face was already reddened because she couldn\'t accept the sight that entered her eyes at this moment.
"DEVAN, ANSWER ME," Byanca raised her voice, one arm holding Devan\'s shoulder.
"Shhh, Shut up. You can wake her up," Devan replied in a cold and flat tone of voice, and it made Byanca freeze on the spot.
While Devan, the man had entered his room and lowered Anna very carefully on the bed.
Byanca who witnessed this became furious, her chest rumbled, this is not true, this cannot be tolerated.
"Damn woman!" Cursed Byanca then ran closer to the bed, she couldn\'t calm down before she could tear the woman\'s face.
"BITCH, BITCH!" Byanca\'s voice rose, her hand wanted to reach for the blanket covering Anna\'s body but stopped, Devan held her wrist.
"YOU…"
Devan immediately shut Byanca\'s mouth and pulled her roughly, out of the room, carrying her away from there, down the stairs to the first floor.
"YOU EVEN TREAT ME LIKE THIS JUST BECAUSE YOU DON\'T WANT TO WAKE HER UP, Bitch?"
"Watch your word."
Byanca\'s hands clenched into fists, "Is this how you behave behind my back? We\'ll be getting married soon."
"I AM YOUR PROSPECTIVE WIFE DEVAN, I AM THE RIGHT TO YOU."
"YOU CAN\'T BE LIKE THIS."
"NOW YOU DRAG THAT WOMAN, OR I WILL DRAG HIM OUT," Byanca\'s tone was getting higher, along with her legs moving to go to the second floor but the man\'s arm was holding her back.
"Who do you want to drag?" at the same time, Devan grip hard on Byanca\'s arm and made the woman stumble back slightly.
"YOU DEFEND HER? IN FRONT OF ME?" Byanca was already filled with anger.
"I told you to lower your voice," Devan replied, taking her hand again and dragging her towards the door.
"WHERE WOULD YOU TAKE ME?"
"LET ME GO!"
"DEVAN, MY HANDS ache," Byanca whimpered amid her screams.
Devan suddenly stopped his steps and turned to face the woman, raising his hand which was tightly gripping Byanca\'s wrist, gripping it tightly made the woman wince again in pain.
"Do I care?" said Devan then pushed Byanca out of the door, then closed it tightly. Leaving the woman alone outside.
"YOU CAN\'T TREAT ME LIKE THIS DEVAN, I\'M YOUR Fiànce," Byanca shouted even after the door had closed again. The woman was furious, her face already red with anger, her chest rumbling with increasingly ragged breaths.
"FUCK BITCH," Byanca cursed, stomping her foot hard on the floor and then leaving the house.
While Devan who had closed the door no longer heeding Byanca\'s screams outside, he walked back to the second floor to his room to make sure that Anna was okay and not bothered at all.
Opened the bedroom door very slowly, a faint smile appeared on his lips when he saw the woman sleeping with her peaceful face, Devan then looked for Anna\'s cellphone with very careful steps, afraid to wake the woman and after finding it, he then left the room, stepped, relax into the living room. But before that, he turned into the kitchen and took a drink, his throat feeling a little hoarse.
Devan installed the new sim card that Hendra gave to the woman\'s cell phone, after which he scanned his contacts.
Suddenly his cell phone rings and displays his mother\'s name on the screen. Seeing that, Devan sighed harshly.
"Hello Mom," said Devan.
"Hello Devan, where are you now?" Mrs. Seira\'s voice came from the other side.
"I am at home."
"You\'re coming here now, there\'s something I want to talk to you about."
"Just say it here Mom, I\'ll hear it."
"No. It\'s not something trivial to talk about on the phone. I want you here now."
"Devan is tired Mom, I want to rest. How about Tomorrow, okay?"
"You are refuse?"
"No Mom, it\'s not like that..."
"Okay, if you don\'t want to, let me go there."
"No, do not. I mean, let me go there, Mom, you don\'t have to bother," Devan replied quickly, he didn\'t want Anna to become a victim of the middle-aged woman\'s tantrum.
"Okay, I wait now."
Devan has not responded and the connection has been lost. Turning towards the second floor, a rough sigh escaped his lips.
He was very sure that Byanca had complained to the extended family about his actions today, therefore Mrs. Seira asked him to come to Grandma\'s house.
Slowly getting up from his position, Devan returned to the room to get ready.
After that, he left a small note on the nightstand for Anna.
"I\'M OUT, DON\'T WORRY I\'LL BRING YOU HOME IN THIS AFTERNOON, WAIT FOR ME."
That\'s the contents of the note stuck there.
Out of the house, Hendra immediately greeted him outside the door.
"Good afternoon, sir."
"Um," replied Devan shortly, starting to walk.
"You want somewhere?" asked Hendra following behind the man.
"No need, I\'ll go alone. You stay here, take care of the woman," said Devan.
"Yes sir."
"Ah yes, I forgot. Don\'t let she go before I come."
"Yes sir."
