Chapter 247 - 247. Awkward (2)
Very rarely did he learn about the living things around him. Also, this was Dave\'s first time seeing a fish pond like this up close, usually, he would only see it in the aquarium, and even then it was just a glimpse.
So it\'s only natural that he doesn\'t know about it.
"Dave likes fish?" Aaron asked again when he didn\'t get any response from his grandson.
"If so, later I will buy a big aquarium and keep it in your room," he added again.
"But I don\'t know how to take care of them, Granpa. I\'m afraid I\'ll just kill them later," Dave replied with a frown on his face.
Aaron wanted to laugh at the boy\'s response. "Okay, if that\'s the case. This fish pond also belongs to you," he said.
"Granpa? Is that all right?" Dave asked looking enthusiastic.
"Of course, Honey."
"That means I can also feed them?" Dave asked again, his eyes sparkling brightly at the sight of the fish still swarming down there, even some swimming under his feet because Aaron purposely threw a handful of fish feed around his grandson.
"Sure, do you want to try it?"
"Um," he nodded, then got off the rock where he was sitting. Walk slowly towards Aaron.
"Be careful," said the man who immediately greeted his grandson.
They enjoyed their time together there for almost an hour.
While on the other hand, Erik who had put Dave\'s toys in the room immediately went downstairs and arranged for the family dinner.
While on the other hand, Claire and Devan who seemed to be still sleeping on the same bed still didn\'t show any signs of waking up.
Until a few minutes later, a typical wake-up groan could be heard filling the room, followed by small movements of Claire\'s fingers.
She blinked, trying to adjust the light that entered his retina until she had a very clear vision.
The white ceiling combined with the blue color, forming the sky and white clouds like during the day was the first sight that greeted her.
But the next second, her body stiffened. She felt something heavy pressed against her stomach, followed by her last memory of being on Devan\'s lap or rather in the man\'s arms in a position that was a bit embarrassing for her.
Claire immediately lifted the blanket that covered her body up to her chest and found someone\'s strong hands were hugging her.
Instantly she felt heat on her face, a red hue was again drawn on her cheeks when she turned and found Devan still sleeping.
Since when did she move into bed?
Seeing the man\'s peaceful face, Claire tilted her body to face Devan without taking the man\'s hand off her stomach.
Observing the curve of the face of the figure in front of her without even blinking. This was the first time she saw Devan up close like this.
Only one word can describe it, Handsome. Before, when Devan explained to her, told her at length about what happened to him without hiding anything, even though she didn\'t hear the whole thing because she was asleep, but just hearing the gist of it made her understand, and could give an assessment of attitude lately.
Maybe it\'s because her feelings are too sensitive so that every little thing that happened to her lately makes it seem like it\'s something big. Nor should she believe all Mrs. Seira\'s words, and photos in her cell phone.
She is too concerned with her feelings without asking Devan for an explanation first.
Claire wouldn\'t doubt the man\'s words, because Devan had never lied to her. And he\'s coming to Australia at this time further strengthened her feelings and trust in the man.
Leaving his family and fiancé just for her sake as if he didn\'t care about anything was enough to prove that Devan was serious about her.
For a moment Claire was fascinated and amazed. Whether consciously or not, one of her hands moved, she seemed to want to caress the man\'s face.
Only, her hand suddenly stopped in midair.
"Admiring me? Hmm?" Devan suddenly opened his eyelids, one of his hands held Claire\'s in the air, then slowly lowered it and placed it on his sturdy jaw.
Startled? Of course. The woman gasped because the man in front of her suddenly woke up without giving any signs.
Caught staring at Devan, a bright red blush appeared on Claire\'s cheeks. She was very shy.
"Satisfied with admiring me?" asked Devan slowly moving and shortening the distance between them.
"Or do you want more?" he added and brought Anna\'s hand to his chest.
"N-no. Let-let goes of my hand," Claire responded, stuttering a little trying to pull her hand back.
"I-I\'m going to take a shower," she added and got up from her position.
"I\'m hot."
Hearing that, Devan smirked. Claire\'s hand was still in his, "Okay, I\'ll help you," he said and took a seat, the same as the woman.
And the next second, Claire\'s tiny body was in Devan\'s arms.
"W-what are you doing? put me down," Claire struggled to try to escape, but with her very tiny body, it\'s not comparable to Devan who has a burly body.
"Don\'t move too much, honey. You\'ll fall," said Devan, pushing the bathroom door and going inside.
"I-I can take a shower myself. Put me down Devan," said Claire not giving up.
Hearing the response of the woman in his arms, a feeling of pleasure filled Devan, the man cheered inwardly. Does that mean that his relationship with Anna is back to normal?
"You\'re not mad at me anymore, aren\'t you?" asked Devan, gently lowering the woman into the bathtub.
Claire didn\'t respond and just looked down in shame. Her hands were in front of her chest in a crossed position, as if she was protecting something.
"I-I can take a bath myself, come out," Claire muttered in a voice that sounded a little small, but still able to reach Devan\'s ear.
"Get out or I won\'t see you," squeaked Claire, sounding a little shy. The tone of her voice and the words she spoke were in stark contrast. Because she should have shouted while saying that, not squeaked like a frightened mouse.
Hearing the words of the woman in front of him, Devan became very excited. With just such an appearance, Claire had managed to awaken another side of the man\'s body.
"Okay, I\'m out," Devan said and walked out, leaving the room while rubbing his face roughly.
He dug his hole, it seemed that at this time Devan needed to soak in cold water.
Stepping out of the bathroom, his leg movements suddenly stopped when his eyes met the figure of Aaron who seemed to have just opened the bedroom door.
