Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

"Eh? Didn't you say that you were going home tonight? How did you know..."

Leo hadn't finished his sentence and the line had been cut. Devan ended the call unilaterally.

Carelessly putting the empty bottle still in his hand, Devan immediately ran to the second floor and locked the door to his room. After that, he then went back downstairs, normalized his expression for a moment, and then opened the door.

Just as Devan opened the door, a middle-aged woman immediately rushed into his arms but at the same time, the man took a few steps back, dodging as if he already knew this was going to happen.

"Mom..." Devan said as if he was surprised at the arrival of the middle-aged woman.

"Don't overdo it, I'm sure Leo already told you about my arrival," the woman replied walking in and immediately landed herself on the sofa.

Devan, who heard his mother's words, just rubbed the nape of his neck while grumbling in his heart when he heard his cousin's name called. He didn't care about the existence of a beautiful woman who was looking at him intensely.

"You won't let your future wife come in?"

"Come on, honey. Come here, you must be very tired," cried Mrs. Seira again calling Byanca.

"Okay, Auntie."

"How many times have I told you not to call me that. Soon, you will be part of the Atmadja family, call me Mom. Isn't that right, Devan?" said Mrs. Seira but Devan did not respond in the slightest.

"Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to visit?" Devan asked joining in, sitting across from Seira.

The woman rolled her eyes, "You never respond to calls from me."

"Ah, I am busy, Mom."

"It's always been like that. Is your job more important than me?"

Suddenly Devan rose from his position, "Mom, what do you want to drink?" he asked changing the subject while he made his way to the kitchen.

Mrs. Seira chuckled, "Byanca, what do you want to drink, honey?" Seira asked.

"Anything, Mom," the woman replied, smiling gracefully.

Seeing what Devan did, Seira's brow furrowed. "You want to make it yourself for us?" she asked Devan, getting up from her position and walking towards her son who was already in the kitchen.

"You don't have a maid?"

Seeing this, Byanca immediately followed from behind.

"Let me do it, Devan. You and Mother just sit," said Byanca snatching the glass in Devan's hand. And that made Seira smile faintly.

"No need, I can do it," said Devan immediately snatched back the glass.

"Yes, give it to Mama," Seira said then pushed Devan and Byanca's bodies away from the kitchen.

"You sit down," she added.

Devan did not respond, and only obeyed his mother's words. Sitting on the sofa, turning on the tv, as if Devan didn't care about Byanca's existence at all.

Very awkward atmosphere.

Silently, Seira watched the two figures from afar. It had been a long time since she had last seen a scene like this, she suddenly became impatient to have a grandson from the two of them.

Seira then decided to go around the house, leaving Devan and Byanca in the living room.

"How are you?" Byanca spoke up, trying to break the silence between the two of them.

"As you can see," Devan replied curtly without taking his eyes off the tv.

"How is your work?" the woman asked again.

"Very well."

"Are you still mad at me?"

"No."

"Then why are you acting like this? Devan who I know has never been this cold to me, you know? I miss you," said Byanca shifting her body, shortening the distance between them.

Devan, who felt Byanca getting closer to him, didn't budge.

"I'm sorry," Byanca said again when she didn't get a response from the man who was her future husband.

"Huh?"

"I want us to be like we used to be, Devan. Don't be like this to me," Byanca replied.

Devan was silent, having no intention of responding.

"I-I'm sorry. I admit I was wrong."

"Forget it. It happened a long time ago, don't bring it up again," Devan replied in a flat tone of voice.

"A-alright."

And after that, there was no more conversation between the two of them until several tens of minutes passed Devan turned to the kitchen.

His brows furrowed in confusion when he couldn't find his mother anywhere.

He then rose from his position.

"Where are you going?" Byanca does the same.

"Wait here and rest," Devan replied.

"No, I'm coming," Byanca said immediately grabbing Devan's arm and holding him.

Devan wanted to let go, but the woman gripped him tighter and Devan finally gave in and let Byanca do whatever she wanted. He also could not refuse because his mother was in this house.

"Devan..." A man's voice suddenly sounded from outside. Who else if not his cursed cousin, Leo.

"Who is that?" asked Byanca.

"Leo," replied Devan, and at the same time, the man who had just been named appeared and walked towards them.

"Wow, did I miss something?" Leo shouted again making Devan, who had been cursing him in his heart, wanted to beat the man.

"Hello, Byanca. Long time no see, how are you?" said Leo holding out his hand and was immediately greeted by the woman.

"Hi, I'm fine. How about you? You're just getting more handsome," Byanca replied with a smile.

"Don't praise me like that, I don't want to be a victim of someone's anger," Leo said glancing at Devan, but was immediately rewarded with a sharp glare from the man.

For a moment Byanca looked down shyly, occasionally glancing at Devan, only to see the man's expression change.

"How was your flight?" Leo asked pleasantly.

"Very well."

"Good, even though I was worried, because of the bad weather lately," Leo replied with an expression as if he was really worried about her.

"You don't need to overdo it," said Devan in reply to Leo's words.

"I'm just worried about my future sister-in-law," Leo replied then laughed, he didn't notice Devan's expression as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

"Ah yes, where's Auntie? Didn't you come with her?" Leo asked after his laughter subsided, he then looked in all directions for someone's whereabouts.

"In the kitchen," replied Byanca, immediately turning back to confirm the presence of Mrs. Seira.

"Huh?" The kitchen was empty, no one was there.

"Devan, where's Mama?" asked Byanca.

Right after saying that, a scream echoed from the second floor.

"DEVAANNN..."

Reflexively everyone looked up to the origin of the sound. There! Right in front of Devan's wide-open room, Mrs. Seira Atmadja stood.

Suddenly Devan froze on the spot, he forgot to take out the room key after locking it earlier. How could he be this reckless? Her mother must have seen Anna in bed.

"Why is Aunt screaming?" Leo asked as he stepped closer to the stairs leading to the second floor.

Byanca who saw the expression of her future mother-in-law immediately let go of her hand on Devan's arm, following Leo from behind.

"Why are you screaming, Mom?" asked Byanca approaching the middle-aged woman.

While Leo who had arrived at the door suddenly froze in place when his eyes found a woman who was very familiar to him.

"Devan, can you explain this to me?" said Mrs.. Seira when she saw her son walking closer.
