"Don''t ask me to leave, I beg you," said Devan again, his voice lower than before. It was very clear that at this time the man was crying.


    "Then tell me, what should I do Devan?"


    "There''s no way I''m with a man who will soon marry a woman who is pregnant with his child," added ire again with a rough sigh.


    "Don''t make me confused. Better let me go now, and go back to Indonesia."


    Devan shook his head vigorously, tightening his grip on the tiny body as if he didn''t care about ire''s whimper.


    "Don''t ask me to leave, give me some time to exin everything, honey. What you know right now is not entirely true," said Devan.


    Hearing that, ire froze on the spot.


    "Does that mean you don''t want to admit your child is with Byanca?"


    "No, it''s not like that," Devan replied absentmindedly, and his answer stabbed into the recesses of ire''s heart.


    "I never touched the woman, honey. How can I admit the child in her womb," said Devan?


    ire was stunned, "What do you mean?"


    "I''ll tell you everything, but you have to promise me that you won''t kick me out again," said Devan, still hugging the tiny body.


    A rough sigh escaped ire''s lips. Maybe she should give him a chance. Whetherter her heart will get sicker or otherwise, she is trying to prepare herself.


    "Okay, I won''t kick you out again."


    "Then let me go first, You hugged me too tight, I''m having trouble breathing," said ire.


    "Ah, I''m sorry," replied Devan slowly loosening his grip on the woman.


    "I was just afraid you''d push me away, I''m sorry, honey," he added.


    Anna didn''t reply and just gave a nod in response.


    Seeing that, Devan immediately lifted ire''s body onto the sofa, carrying her with bridal style.


    Startled? Of course. ire gasped and reflexively wrapped her arms around the man''s neck.


    "I''m sorry for only being able to meet you now, honey," Devan muttered, kissing ire''s forehead beforending her body on the sofa.


    No, notnding the woman''s body, but his own body. Devan sat down without lowering ire, making the woman sit on hisp.


    "Don''t move much, just stay here," said Devan holding ire''s arm which seemed to want to go down.


    "I''m afraid you''ll run and leave me," he added again, using both hands to lift the tiny body towards him.


    And Devan''s sudden action made ire gasp, a clear blush filling her cheeks. Not without reason, because at this time, the dress she was wearing was lifted and exposed her upper thighs, sitting astride facing Devan with both hands still wrapped around the man''s neck was not something good for her heart health.


    If other people saw it, they might think that ire was trying to seduce Devan.


    "Listen to my exnation, don''t interrupt, OK?" said Devan, even his breath felt very clear on the woman''s cheek, the minty scent that was so refreshing made the other side of ire struggle.


    Whether consciously or not, the woman nodded faintly.


    Seeing ire''s response, Devan gave a faint smile. With a slow-motion, he lifted the woman''s waist closer to him, then pulled her head up andid her on his shoulder.


    That treatment again made ire blush.


    "Don''t protest, honey. Leave it like this, I miss you so much," said Devan hugging ire''s body and rubbing her back slowly and lovingly.


    ire did not respond, the woman seemed resigned and melted by Devan''s treatment of her. She even forgot how sick she had been in thest few days.


    "The child conceived by Byanca is not my child, dear. I have never even touched the woman, not at all," said Devan, starting to exin.


    "Recently I''ve been intending to cancel my marriage with her. It''s just that I''m waiting for the right time to do it," he added again.


    Devan then continued his sentence, exining all the things that happened to him with Byanca, how will he got the marriage, and their rtionship from childhood until now.


    Devan told everything without hiding anything, even when he vented his anger by having sex with other women he also said.


    How his rtionship can be strained as it is now, and how his life was before and after ire''s presence in his life.


    Devan also did not miss an exnation about his family''s strong desire to marry him off to Byanca. Also, Leo, who initially opposed his rtionship with ire and ended up supporting him, became the first person in his family to ask him to end the matchmaking.


    Anna listened intently to everything, not wanting to interrupt at all.


    Now and then Devan was silent for a few seconds to catch his breath and then resumed.


    "Everything you think about me is wrong, honey," Devan said again, stroking ire''s hair in his arms.


    "And what my mother told you was wrong, and I didn''t visit you for the past few days because I was visiting your family. I intended to surprise you by meeting you with your real family."


    "I never thought that it would turn out that my departure for Australia would bring disaster to you behind my back," he added with a shaky breath.


    "I didn''t even know Leo had an ident if Na hadn''t called me. Also with the house fire in the backyard."


    ire heard everything very clearly, slowly but surely calm returned to her heart. The heartache she had felt earlier suddenly disappeared. It turns out that in this case, she was also wrong because she trusted other people''s words without proving the truth first.


    The woman remained silent and did not respond, still waiting for the man to continue his exnation.


    "I''ve exined everything without covering anything up, honey. If you still don''t want to believe everything I say, that''s up to you. I''ve done my best, I hope you understand my feelings and ept me back."


    "Ah, one more thing, Leo called me earlier and told me the news about the change in my wedding schedule with Byanca."


    Devan then told her everything Leo had told him on the phone.


    "But don''t worry, the wedding won''t happen. My heart belongs only to you, honey."


    "I''m sorry if this misunderstanding makes your heart hurt, I''m sorry, honey," he added again.


    "I don''t want to lose you, I don''t want to be away from you anymore."


    Devan kept saying things like that even though he didn''t get a reply from ire.
