Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 55 - 55. Dave Is Sick

"What? An accident?" Leo asked and it managed to break Devan's focus.

"Accident?" Devan suddenly snatched Leo's cell phone.

"Now where are you?" he added with a sudden worried look on his face.

"Still on the road, stuck in traffic. Don't worry, we're fine Mr. Devan," Hendra replied when he heard Tuan Devan's voice suddenly taking over.

Hearing that, Devan heaved a sigh of relief, he no longer responded and returned to throwing the flat-shaped object at Leo regardless of his cousin's gaze.

Leo then ended the call unilaterally.

"Are you worried about Hendra?" Leo squinted suspiciously because he thought Devan's response was too much.

"Erm."

"While I'm here, you don't care about me as your cousin and you're worried about that middle-aged man?"

"Erm."

"You choose Hendra or me?"

"Hendra."

"Tsk tsk, how evil," Leo chuckled.

"I'm thirsty, you don't intend to make a drink for this guest?" added Leo.

"Get out of here. I'm busy."

Leo chuckled at his cousin's response.

"Where's Lija?" Leo asked rising from his position, usually, at this hour, the Maid was still in the house.

Devan ignored Leo anymore, letting his cousin do whatever he liked. He refocused on some of the files Clarissa had sent him a while ago.

"You've been cook?" Leo asked again as his gaze focused on the amount of food on the table.

"Erm."

"It is so much," Leo said as he walked over to the fridge.

"Even the normally empty fridge is now full of food, Devan are you sure you're okay?" Leo chirped again after gulping down the water of the bottle he had taken, then walked over to the dining table and sat there.

Until a few minutes passed, Devan no longer heard Leo's voice making him turn to look for his cousin's whereabouts.

There, Leo is eating the food on the table very voraciously.

"Looking for me?" Leo asked when his eyes met Devan's, even though his mouth was still full of food.

"I just found out that the portion of people who say they're not hungry will be that much," Devan drew closer to Leo.

"This is delicious, come and eat with me," Leo responded.

Devan snorted, but after that, the man sat down with Leo and ate together. Even though his appetite is gone, he will still fill his stomach, because he doesn't feel willing if the food that Anna cooks for him is only eaten by Leo.

"This week, you're going to visit Grandma right?"Leo asked.

"Eat and stop talking."

"Oma ordered to take you with me, whatever the reason," said Leo ignoring Devan.

"You should visit Grandma once in a while, Devan," he added.

"Um, I'll be there later."

"Okay."

And after that, there was no more talking between the two, they were busy with their respective meals.

"Thank you, Mr. Hendra," said Anna and opened the car door. Currently, he has arrived home after being stuck in traffic due to an accident.

Entering Nicho's house, Anna went straight to Dave's room at a fast pace.

"How is the condition?" Anna asked Naila, one hand reached out to touch the boy's forehead.

"It's getting better, don't worry."

Instantly a sigh of relief escaped from between Anna's lips, "Hmm, thank God."

"What did Dr. Rian say?" she asked again.

"The doctor said Dave was just a common cold, Miss."

Anna just nodded hearing Naila's words.

"Erm, then take care of Dave, I want to cook porridge for him," said Anna and stood up.

"Okay."

Before Anna reached the kitchen, the house phone rang loudly.

"Hello," Anna picked up the phone.

"Hello Anna, how are you?"

"Nicho?"

"You already know my voice. How are you?" asked Nicho from the other side.

"Yes, I am fine, how about you? Is everything going well?"

"Yes, that's it. Sorry I just had time to call you," said Nicho.

"No problem, I understand you're busy."

"How was your new job?" Nico asked again.

"Okay, smooth."

"Good, if you feel tired, just stop and keep Dave at home," said Nicho, the way he spoke as if he was Anna's husband.

"No. Naila is helping me. Don't worry."

"I only said it, Anna. What are you doing now? Shouldn't you be working?" Nicho asked, his intention to call was actually because he wanted to talk to Dave, he never expected that it would be Anna who would pick up the phone.

"I went home early. Dave has a fever."

"Dave is sick? So how is he now? Have you called the doctor?"

"It's getting better, don't worry. Dr. Rian has also checked him and given some medicine."

"I hope he gets well soon. I will go home if I have time," said Nicho again.

"No, no need Nicho. Dave is fine. You just focus on your work there and don't worry about us," replied Anna.

"But I miss you," said Nicho.

Anna froze, not knowing how to respond.

"Tsk, I'm just kidding. There's no need to be so tense," said Nicho when he didn't get a reply from Anna as if he could see the woman directly.

"You have eaten?" asked Anna changing the subject.

"Already."

"Ah yes Nicho, I forgot I have to make porridge for Dave, I'll call you later," said Anna.

"Okay, take care of your health, don't get sick," Nicho replied.

"You too. Bye." And after that Anna ended the conversation.

Time flies so fast, it doesn't feel like night has come. Dave's body temperature slowly returned to normal and that made Anna's worries lessen. She was currently lying next to her son, staring intently at his tiny face that looked so peaceful.

Without realizing it, a small smile appeared on her lips. "You look like him," she muttered as he stroked Dave's hair.

Dave's slight movement made Anna immediately pat the boy's thigh in an attempt to calm him down.

"Mom..." Dave's eyelids opened slowly.

"Why, honey? Let's go back to sleep."

"Mom, why haven't you slept yet?" Dave asked after looking at the clock hanging on the bedroom wall. It is now eleven o'clock at night. Even though he's over four years old, Anna's son sometimes acts like an adult, maybe because of his intelligence and genius? No one knows, Anna sometimes feels surprised.

"I'm not sleepy yet, honey."

"Is something bothering you, Mom?"

Anna smiled hearing Dave's words then shook her head.

"Then why haven't you slept yet? You will go to work tomorrow. I didn't want you to get sick. You should get enough rest, Mom," said the boy in his typical small child's voice that sounded a little hoarse.

Again Anna smiled. "Okay, I'll be going to bed soon."

"Mom, how are your workmates?" Dave asked again making Anna's smile hang. She never expected her son to ask such a thing.

"Okay, all of my friends are good, honey."

"That is good Mom. If something's bothering you, tell me."

"What will you want to do?"

"I will tell Uncle Nicho to help Mom."

Anna smiled widely at her son's words.

"Okay," she nodded.

"Now, back to sleep, okay," said Anna.

"Okay, Mom.. Good night," Dave replied then closed his eyes again.
