"Then? Why are you looking for me? Don''t tell me you miss your cousin, hahaha."


    "I just want to make sure, you''re still alive or dead," replied Devan with the same expression, very t.


    Hearing that, Leo burst outughing. The manughed.


    Devan ignored Leo again, instead, the man turned to Anna.


    "You better take Dave into the room, his body can hurt if he sleeps in that position," said Devan.


    Hearing the man''s words, Anna saw her son who was leaning on her chest and it was true, Dave fell asleep without her knowing it.


    "B-but..."


    "Use that room, Anna," said Devan again, pointing to Leo''s room.


    "Right, you can use it. Don''t hesitate, Anna," Leo said.


    "Th-thank you," Anna stuttered slightly.


    "You can carry him, right? Or do you need my help?" Devan offered without paying attention to Leo''s expression next to him.


    "No, let me alone," said Anna and rose from her position. The woman then took Dave to Leo''s room and put him there.


    Now only Leo and Devan were left in the living room.


    "Stop looking at me like that," Devan said without looking at his cousin.


    "Since when was Anna with you?"


    Devan didn''t answer.


    "What about Byanca?"


    "If you want to cancel your matchmaking, then do it as soon as possible before the D-day approaches," said Leo.


    "I know you have feelings for Anna, but before your rtionship continues any further, then I suggest finishing your bond with Byanca first," he added.


    "Don''t you give hope to Anna, but you don''t do anything with Byanca. I just don''t want that woman to get hurt again."


    One of Devan''s eyebrows rose when he heard Leo''s words. "No need to worry about that. It''s my business," he replied.


    "Don''t hurt her. If you do, then the first person who will beat you is me. You have to remember what I said Devan," Leo said in a very serious tone of voice.


    Devan was silent. It was the first time he''d heard his cousin speak this seriously.


    Not getting any response from his cousin, Leo threw his body onto the sofa while having a rough sigh. All Na told him was what happened to Anna right now, including the forced marriage she had to do to protect Dave.


    The girl had never mentioned how Anna''s life had been five years ago. It turned out that his previous guess was wrong, he thought the man who met him in the park at that time was Anna''s husband, but it wasn''t.


    He once asked Na if Dave was Brian''s son? However, the girl only answered that the boy was Anna''s son from another man. Exactly who it was, Na didn''t tell him.


    However, somehow he firmly believed that Anna''s son was his nephew, or in other words the son of his cousin.


    While on the other hand, Devan can''t describe how he feels right now.


    "Where''s Anna?" Na, who had finished clearing the dining table, now joined in the living room.


    "In my room, apanying Dave to sleep," Leo replied with a smile.


    Hearing that, Na turned towards Leo''s room and saw Anna through the only half-open room door.


    ***


    It''s already seven o''clock in the evening, Anna is busy helping Na in the kitchen prepare dinner. As for Dave, since waking up this afternoon, the boy has been clinging to Leo and Devan. Invite the two men to y in the living room.


    All kinds of toys were there, and they were all Leo had given him since Na and Dave had stayed at the man''s house.


    "Anna," Na called as she approached Anna who was busy cutting meat.


    "Why?" Anna nced briefly at the source of the voice.


    "What''s your next n?" Asked Na curiously.


    Hearing the girl''s question, Anna''s hand movement stopped but only for a few seconds. The woman was silent for a few minutes as if she was contemting something. To be honest, she is confused about her next life, because of her original n, she wanted to go away from City J. But after hearing all of Devan''s confessions, she became doubtful.


    "Next n? If you were in my position, what would you do?" Anna asked Na.


    "Hmm, if I were you, I would ask Devan to marry me. What if it wasn''t that? You already have children, and it should have happened," Na answered honestly.


    Anna was silent, did not give any response, and that made Na even more sure that all of her guesses were correct.


    "He has a fiancé," Anna muttered but her voice was still able to reach Na''s ears.


    "So why? Even if he is married though you have the right, to tell the truth, that you have children from him. Don''t keep it to yourself," replied Na.


    "Do you need my help with that?"


    "No, I don''t," said Anna immediately.


    "Well, without me even saying it, he must have had an inkling of this. As a parent, I''m sure Devan must have felt a bond with his son. Moreover, their faces are very simr," replied Na.


    Anna was silent, slightly confirming the girl''s words. It wasn''t that she didn''t want to say it, it was just that Anna didn''t know how to start.


    Because it would be strange if she immediately said it directly. Let''s say Anna is waiting for the right time. After all, at this point, she already knew Devan''s feelings for her, and that was enough for her.


    "Let him take care of his fiancé first," said Anna.


    "Alright, that''s up to you. I don''t want you to suffer anymore Anna," replied Na forced to obey the woman''s decision. She will not ask further about Devan and his fiancée. All she cares about right now is Anna and her son, nothing else.


    "Thank you," Anna said with a smile.


    "Emm, don''t hesitate to tell me," replied Na.


    "How about you? You seem very close to Leo?" asked Anna turning to the girl.


    "A-ah that, I-I don''t have anything to do with him. Only as friends," Na stuttered, suddenly awkward, and quickly moved away from Anna.


    "Don''t tell me you''ve been here a few days and you already have feelings for him?" Anna teases Na.


    The girl''s suddenly flustered attitude became the obvious answer to Anna. A faint smile appeared on her lips.


    "Don''t fall in love and trust men too easily, Na."


    "Also, don''t give all your feelings and forget about yourself. I don''t want you to be like me. Put yourself first, then others," added Anna again.


    Hearing that, Na blushed.. "A-alright, enough of you as a lesson for me," replied Na blushing.
