Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 135 - 135. I Can Help You

Naila just responded with a smile and walked past Leo, back to the living room where Dave was and seemed to be enjoying a tv program that had been on for some time.

"Have you had lunch?" Leo asked following Naila.

"Erm," replied the girl curtly.

"Oh."

"Auntie, what did my mother say?" Dave turned his gaze towards Naila when he sensed that the girl had returned.

"Be patient, dear, your mother will follow later. Trust me," said Naila immediately and then turned to Leo.

"It's okay, right? If Anna follows me here later? Don't worry, we won't bother you. I just want to use your address as her destination. After that we will leave here," added Naila in one breath.

"Anyway, Where's her husband?" Leo asked.

Naila was silent for a moment then shrugged, "I don't know," she answered briefly.

"Ha? What do you mean?"

"After her wedding a few days ago, her husband went somewhere even before the first night," Naila replied and the next second her body froze. She unconsciously said things she shouldn't have said. Naila wanted to tell what was happening to them earlier but didn't get to the discussion of Anna's husband and the woman's recent marriage.

Realizing her mistake, Naila fell silent after saying that.

"A few days ago?" Leo's brow furrowed.

"Her husband left even before the first night?"

"Does that mean Anna has been married twice?" Leo asked insistently, hearing Naila's story he became more curious and couldn't stop himself from asking. Hee realized that asking about life and what had happened to that woman was a mistake because it was none of his business.

Only, Dave's presence among them made him unable to miss any small thing that happened, a crazy thought and conjecture that was still vague in his mind kept haunting him, especially when he saw the boy at close range like this, he similar to his cousin 'Devan'. Is it possible?

Leo shook his head, rejecting his thoughts.

Never getting an answer from the girl sitting next to him, Leo cleared his throat softly, "You hesitate to tell me?"

"No problem, but one thing you need to know is that I'm not someone you should be wary of, nor should you be afraid of."

"I can help you guys anytime. You might think this is weird, even I feel like I'm not myself. It's just that I can't bear to see a kid of Dave's age, his face reminds me of someone."

"I also don't know how Anna's life has been for the past five years, I know that she is married, has a child, and lives happily with her husband," Leo added at length, the man is lying down on the sofa.

Naila, who heard the man's chatter, was glued to the spot, her eyes only fixed on the TV with a blank stare. Her thoughts drifted away.

There was a feeling of wanting to believe the man's words, but on the other hand, if she said everything, it would mean that she had broken his promise to Anna. For a moment Naila felt a dilemma.

Did she have to tell the truth? But what's the point? The man was also not necessarily able to help them voluntarily.

"Later, if I need your help, is it okay?" said Naila after a few minutes of silence.

"And the incident this afternoon, the people who chased me were my father's men. They wanted me to go home, but I refused and tried to run away, lucky to have you, so I was able to escape from them," she added, explaining what happened this afternoon.

"And as for Anna, she will catch up with us later. As for her husband, I don't know, don't ask me, because I don't know anything about him."

"Is that true?" Leo asked, what he wanted to know was what kind of problem Anna was having. Maybe this is one of Leo's efforts to find loopholes and justifications for the allegations that are eating away at his head.

Naila nodded in agreement.

"Okay, use your time as comfortable as possible here while waiting for Anna's arrival, don't hesitate," Leo said with a sigh.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome since you seem reluctant to tell me everything, then this is all I can do for you guys," Leo replied. The first time the man showed a serious face and all the words that escaped his lips showed that as if he wasn't Leo, usually Leo was talkative with all his antics.

After that there was silence, no further discussion could be heard, only the sound of the TV filled the silence. They were all lost in their thoughts.

"Ah, I almost forgot," Leo said suddenly and got up from his position, walking towards the entrance of his apartment.

Naila who heard the man's voice immediately opened her eyes which were closed on the sofa, but only briefly then closed again.

"This is for you and Dave," Leo said as he placed the paper bag right on the table in front of Naila.

"Take a shower and change your clothes, there's no way you're hanging around my apartment with torn clothes like that right?" he added again and managed to make Naila's eyelids open perfectly.

Immediately she looked around her body, and it was true, the knee-length dress she was wearing had a long rip on the left side, and it managed to expose the skin of her thighs, luckily she was wearing hot pants, if not, maybe the skin from her thighs to the hips was showing.

Naila suddenly took an upright position, one of her hands seemed to be trying to cover the skin of her thighs.

"It's useless for you to cover it, I've seen it since in the car," Leo said.

"Why are you just saying it now?" Naila protested.

"I thought you were trying to tease me on purpose."

"Ah damn," Naila immediately got up, grabbed the paper bag in front of her, and ran to Leo's room, her steps were so light as if this was her own house.

Leo who saw the girl's behavior just laughed, then he sat back down right next to Dave.

"What are you watching buddy?" he asked.

"Can't you see, Uncle?" Dave responded without even turning to the source of the voice.

"May I know your father's name, friend?" Leo asked in a slightly whispering voice.

At that moment, Dave just turned his head and looked at Leo, "I don't know, Uncle.. My mom said she'll tell me when I grow up," Dave replied with all his innocence.
