Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 183 - 183. Drunk

However, the man ignored it at all and tightened his hands even more causing Naila to sigh roughly, resignedly.

Anna who saw this only smiled faintly and resumed her activities which were making some seasonings.

Suddenly heard the sound of a button being pressed, making Anna's hand movements stop for a moment. Immediately she stopped her activities for a moment, walked towards the door to see who had come.

The door opened, revealing the figure of Devan who looked a little messy.

Anna's brow furrowed, "What happened to you?" she asked as she walked closer.

The one who was asked didn't answer, kept going in and hugged Anna.

Instantly the smell of alcohol wafted up, rushing into the woman's sense of smell. Devan is drunk, but it seems the man is still able to maintain his consciousness.

"I'm thirsty," Devan said without letting go of his arm.

"Okay, then you go in first and rest," replied Anna but did not get the slightest response from Devan.

Anna slowly let go of the man's embrace, carried him in, and laid him down in Leo's room.

"What happens with him?" Naila asked right after Anna came out of the room.

The one who was asked just shrugged her shoulders went to the kitchen without saying a word to Naila.

Took a glass of water for Devan, Anna then re-entered the room.

"Here, have a drink," she said after placing the glass on the nightstand.

"Thank you," Devan replied, his voice hoarse.

After gulping down the contents of the glass, Devan took off his top shirt, causing Anna to instantly turn her face the other way. Even though this was nothing new to him, she still felt very awkward and embarrassed.

"I'm hot," said Devan then threw himself back onto the bed carelessly, hearing that, Anna grabbed the AC remote and lowered the room temperature.

It's just that, when the woman wanted to leave, her steps suddenly stopped when the corner of her eye caught Devan who seemed to be restless.

Anna came closer to the bed and reached out her hand to touch Devan's forehead which was already wet with beaded sweat. Even though it was still early in the morning and the room temperature was already cold, but Devan was sweating a lot.

"What?" asked Anna when she heard Devan mutter. The frown on her forehead disappeared when she realized that the man nearby was just delirious.

Not only once, but Devan kept on delirious with his eyes still tightly closed, sweat also kept pouring from his forehead, and even now his neck was also wet.

With a slow-motion, Anna stroked Devan's head trying to make the man feel comfortable. She didn't know, his hands move on their own.

"Anna," called Naila who suddenly appeared behind the door.

"Shhh..." Anna motioned for the girl not to make the slightest sound.

Naila nodded in agreement, then closed the door again tightly.

Being in that position for about ten minutes, Anna took her hand away when she saw that Devan had calmed down.

"What's with him? Did something happen?" Naila asked when she saw Anna coming out of the room.

"I don't know either, looks like he didn't come home last night," replied Anna.

Hearing that, Naila just nodded and didn't ask any further.

Until lunchtime came, Leo just woke up from his sleep, saw Devan who was sleeping in his room, the man's brow furrowed.

"He's staying here?" Leo asked Naila, currently, the man was sitting on a chair at the dining table.

"He just came this morning," Anna answered immediately.

Currently, the woman was serving lunch with Naila.

Hearing that, Leo didn't respond anymore.

"Dave, come on over here," Leo said to the boy who was walking towards him.

Dave just nodded in agreement.

"You guys wait a minute, let me wake Devan first," said Anna. It was already midday and she wanted to take him out for lunch.

"No need," Leo said.

"Just leave him alone, he'll wake up on his own," he added. Seeing his cousin sleeping so soundly like before was a rare occurrence, nobody knew Devan better than Leo. For the past few years, his cousin has had trouble sleeping.

Hearing Leo's words, Anna nodded in agreement, "Okay."

After that, she joined in and had lunch with Naila, Leo and Dave.

Byanca with Mrs. Seira is now in front of the gate of Devan's house.

"Deden?" Mrs. Seira frowned when she saw the middle-aged man at the post where Lukman usually was.

"What are you doing there? Where is Lukman?" she asked again.

"Madam?" The middle-aged man immediately approached the car driven by Miss Byanca and Mrs. Seira.

"Lukman is sick, Madam. So Mr. Devan asked me to replace him for a while," added Deden while bowing slightly.

Seira nodded in understanding, "Okay, then open the gate," she asked.

"B-but madam..."

"Why? Devan not home?" cut Mrs. Seira right away.

"Sorry madam, Mr.Devan asked me not to open the gate to anyone without his permission," replied Deden.

"Huh? I'm his mother. Just open the gate."

"S-Sorry Madam..." Deden's words stopped when he saw Miss Byanca suddenly get out of the car.

"Where's the remote?" asked the woman as she walked towards the guard post.

"Miss..." Deden said hanging when he saw Miss Byanca who had found a small object.

"I'm his future wife so you don't have the right to stop me, especially now that I'm with Mama," Byanca said with her gaze directed towards a gate that slowly opened.

Deden who saw it could only surrender and did not comment anymore.

"Come on, honey," said Mrs. Seira to Byanca.

"Okay, Mom."

After that, the car they were traveling in slowed down and entered Devan's yard. Byanca's goal was to take Mrs. Seira with her to Devan's house so that the man wouldn't throw her out when he saw her coming.

Before arriving, Byanca had already contacted Devan's secretary and asked where the man was. Knowing that her future husband wasn't in the office made her think that Devan would be home today, and that's why she came.

Until now, the incident a few days ago she still kept to herself and did not tell her extended family. Byanca did it to make her marriage happen without any obstacles.

She was worried that if she told them all about Devan's treatment, her parents would be angry and it might end up canceling the marriage that was about to happen.

Byanca didn't want that to happen. She so longs for the status as Devan's wife. Although after marriage later, the man does not meet his inner needs, it is not a problem for him.

"What are you thinking, honey?" suddenly Mrs. Seira's voice broke Byanca's focus.

"Is something bothering you?" she asked again.
