Chapter 304 - 304. Devan's Orders (2)
"Stay here, take care of Claire and my son. But don't let her know that he is in your care," Devan said without stopping his steps.
"I'll drive myself," he added.
"Yes sir. Your order is an obligation for me," replied Hendra.
Devan nodded and left. Leaving the hotel by entrusting Claire's safety to Hendra and his people.

It was noon, exactly 1 o'clock. Aaron finally came out of the room. He wanted to visit somewhere. That's right, he made an appointment with someone at the cafe next to the hotel. But before that, he wanted to confirm the condition of Claire and his grandson.
Knock... knock... knock...
Claire who was lying next to Dave slowly got up from her position. Checking who visited her before opening the door.
"What's the matter, Uncle? Do you need anything?" Claire asked the man.
"There is no. Have you had lunch?" Aaron asked again.
"Not yet, Uncle. What is it?"
"Eh? Didn't the hotel maid bring you food?" Aaron asked.
"It's not like that, Uncle. I just feel full, only Dave ate earlier," replied Claire.
"Mom, who is that? Has Daddy come yet?" a boy's voice was heard from inside the room.
"Oh, Grandpa. What's the matter of visiting my mother?" Dave asked again, walking over to his mother, one hand rubbing his eye. It was very clear that the boy had woken up from his sleep.
Immediately Aaron crouched down and carried his grandson. "Why are you awake, honey?" he asked.
"I thought my dad was coming, Uncle. So, I woke up," Dave replied in a slightly lazy voice.
Claire sighed at her son's words. After all, Dave and Devan separated a few hours ago, and the boy missed him already.
"Have you missed your daddy already?" asked Aaron in a soft voice.
Hearing that, Dave nodded. "Mom, why did Daddy take so long?" he asked Claire.
"Your daddy is very busy, honey. He will come later, be patient," replied the woman.
Aaron who saw the interaction of the two people was silent for a while. "Come with me, you haven't eaten either, and Dave might be bored if he stays in the room all the time," Aaron said.
"Where are you going, grandpa?" Dave asked immediately, on behalf of his mother.
"I want to meet someone, honey. Will you come with me?"
"But, Uncle. I'm afraid we'll interrupt your meeting," said Claire.
"Since when have I been bothered by your existence? You are the most important to me, nothing else. Besides, I feel at ease if you are within my reach," replied Aaron.
"Next time, Uncle. Dave is still sleepy, I'm afraid he'll fall asleep later."
"No, Mom. I'm not sleepy. I want to go, I want to go, being in the room is boring," Dave immediately chimed in his mother's words.
Claire looked at Aaron. "Okay, we'll come with you, Uncle," Claire finally agreed.
"Then get ready, in ten minutes I will pick you up," Aaron said then lowered Dave from his arms.
***
Walking out of the hotel lobby, a black limousine suddenly stopped right in front of them. Aaron's brow furrowed.
Claire stopped in her tracks when she saw Hendra getting out of the car and immediately walked towards them.
"Good day, sir and Miss," said Hendra respectfully to Aaron and Claire.
"He is Hendra, Uncle. Devan's driver," said Claire, answering the confusion on Aaron's face.
Hearing that, Hendra again bowed his body, "Mr. Devan asked me to take you wherever you are going, sir, miss," he said.
Suddenly Aaron and Claire glanced at each other.
"So, as long as you are in Indonesia, then I will be your driver," added Hendra again, and it managed to make Aaron and Claire speechless.
The man took care of his nephew. A faint smile appeared on Aaron's lips. "Alright, take us to Podo Moro Cafe," said Aaron.
"Okay, sir, please come in," said Hendra and opened the car door.
Podo Moro cafe is one of the cafes in the city of J. Not too big, but comfortable enough to relax. At the Café, there are various kinds of menus served, ranging from Indonesian food to typical food from neighboring countries.
"Uncle, earlier you said that you wanted to meet someone, then where is your friend, Uncle?" she asked. They are now in the cafe. Choose a place in the corner of the room, a comfortable place in the cafe.
"Maybe he'll be here soon," said Aaron. He then glanced around. His brow furrowed, if he's not mistaken, people in black uniforms just kept hanging around him. Whether this was just a feeling or if there was something he didn't know, Aaron wondered. This is very strange.
Even though they looked indifferent and didn't care about their surroundings as if they didn't have any relationship with the people around them, some of the same people he had met many times since leaving the hotel room.
"What's the matter, Uncle?" asked Claire when she saw Aaron's reaction.
"Oh, it's okay. Eat it, your food will get cold. That's not good," Aaron told Claire. The food they just ordered arrived.
"Mom, I like this ice cream," said Dave, the boy seemed to enjoy the jumbo ice cream in front of him.
"Yes, Dear. Just slowly. Don't be in such a hurry, or you'll choke on it," said Claire, turning to her son.
"Okay, Mom," Dave replied, nodding.
"Grandpa, why don't you order any food?" Dave asked again.
"Later, honey, when my friend comes," said Aaron.
"Uncle, book a new place. Leave us here. When you're done with your friends, come back here with us," Claire said suddenly. She didn't know what Aaron was going to do, but she thought it was something important.
"Should I?"
Claire immediately nodded, "Yes, Uncle. Finish your business with your friend. We will wait for you here. Don't worry, we're still in the same café after all," Claire replied.
It was only a few minutes later, and the person he had been waiting for finally arrived. Aaron immediately stood up from his position and approached the middle-aged man, he was not alone, he was with a handsome adult man.
Claire's body stiffened.
