Chapter 182 - 182. Moved
"I\'m just telling the truth, Anna. Now that you\'ve met Dave\'s Daddy, so stop feeling alone anymore. Now we are around you."
Anna choked, not knowing how to reply.
"Even without you asking, I\'ll do it," said Devan in reply to Naila\'s words.
"Now come on in, it\'s getting late," he said to Anna again.
"I\'m still not sleepy," squeaked Anna.
"Maybe you need to accompany her, Devan," Leo said.
"Aww..." he moaned as a pillow landed on his head again.
"Stop saying things like that, you pervert," said Naila, glaring at the man.
"Why? They already have children too. So it\'s only natural to do it again? Well, who knows they might want to give me a new niece?" Leo replied.
"Okay, okay, I\'m just kidding. Don\'t throw at me again," he said immediately raising his arms as if he was trying to defend himself from the throw pillows that seemed to almost hit him again.
While on the other hand, Anna glanced at Devan who was also looking at her, making her suddenly shift her gaze to another direction.
Naila glared sharply at Leo, then turned to look at Devan.
"Remember this is Mr. Devan, you can\'t do anything to Anna before you marry her," Naila said in a very serious tone of voice.
"Don\'t let you hurt her let alone make her cry. If not, then I\'ll take her away, as far as possible, to a place where you can\'t find her," she added. For this, Naila was very serious about what she said.
"Naila..." Anna\'s words stopped when the girl immediately interrupted her.
"You deserve to be happy Anna. I don\'t want you to suffer again. And I\'m serious with my words," said Naila.
Leo, who heard the girl\'s words, was silent, it was the first time he had seen Naila speak in such a tone of voice.
While Devan, the man suddenly embraced Anna with jaws that seemed to harden. "That\'s not going to happen," he said simply. He didn\'t want Anna to leave, let alone disappear from his life.
"Good," said Naila.
Knowing that Naila cared about her to such a point, Anna was touched. Never thought that in her life she would find a friend who cared more about her than herself.
"It\'s getting late now, we should go in and sleep, Anna," Naila said approaching the woman, taking her hand.
"O-oh, okay," Anna stuttered, turning her head to look at Devan briefly.
"Good night," Anna said to the man and rose from her position.
"You said you weren\'t sleepy just now?" Devan protested.
But Naila quickly took Anna away, did not give any response making Devan gape, because this was the first time he had been ignored by someone.
"Turns out she\'s more terrifying than you, Devan," Leo said, causing his cousin to immediately glare at him.
"What?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Leo asked again as he plopped down on the sofa.
"I agree too. I\'ll be on Anna\'s side if you hurt that woman," Leo added.
Hearing his cousin\'s words, Devan just snorted.
"It\'s getting late, you should go home," Leo said taking a pillow and covering his head in an attempt to block the light from entering his eyes, preparing to sleep.
While on the other hand, Devan grabbed his cellphone and sent someone a message. The man played with the flat object for almost an hour and then put it back on the table. Slightly resting his head on the back of the sofa while stretching his muscles.
Only a few minutes later, Devan then left Leo\'s apartment.
It was half-past two in the morning, Devan\'s red Ferrari sped up through the deserted highway.
Right now, the man didn\'t feel sleepy at all, after knowing the truth, it would be a lie if he didn\'t feel happy, even since leaving Leo\'s apartment, he often smiled faintly without realizing it.
However, some things still bothered him a lot and made him unable to calm down, his thoughts were raging, jostling around his head making him dizzy.
Many things are now lodged in Devan\'s mind.
Suddenly it started raining, drenching all the roads in its path. Not too heavy, but already able to make someone soaking wet if you stay a few seconds under the splash.
He didn\'t know what happened, suddenly Devan turned his car around and drove fast again, the roar of his car collided with rain.
Instead of going home, it turned out that Devan was driving his car to the city center.
Entering the basement of a building that reads La Factoria.
La Factoria is the best bar in downtown J. Not only provide beer, but also some food such as pizza, salad, soup, and other fast food.
Entering a vintage-inspired room, indie music echoes throughout the room.
Not too crowded, only a few people seemed to fill a few tables, maybe can be counted on the fingers.
Devan chose the most corner place, the man wanted to calm his mind a little. After all, usually, he would only sleep well at night after drinking a few alcoholic drinks.

The next day.
It was already eight in the morning, Naila and Anna got up early to clean up and also prepare breakfast for Leo.
All kinds of high protein foods are served on the table.
Leo still seemed to be sleeping on the sofa, it seemed that the man was sleeping too late and woke up late like this.
While Dave, the boy was already tidy and now sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking busy reading a book.
Waiting for a few minutes, Leo didn\'t wake up making Naila feel uncomfortable. Because he doesn\'t usually wake up late like this.
"Where do you want to go?" Anna asked when she saw Naila leaving the kitchen.
"I\'ll wake Leo up," Naila replied as she walked into the living room.
Hearing that, Anna just sighed deeply. If it was her, she wouldn\'t have the courage of Naila.
"Leo," Naila called, shaking the man\'s arm.
"Leo, wake up. It\'s already noon," said Naila again.
"Erm," Leo just mumbled.
"Get up and let\'s have breakfast."
Hearing that, Leo turned to face Naila. Instead of getting up, the man grabbed Naila\'s arm making her sit on the sofa right in front of him.
Leo\'s arms then wrapped around Naila\'s waist making the girl startled.
"What are you doing?"
"Let go," Naila pleaded.
"Don\'t move Naila, I\'m still very sleepy," Leo muttered in his hoarse voice.
"Just a minute, five minutes," he added.
"Okay, but let go of your hand. I\'m not your pillow, Leo," Naila protested.
However, the man didn\'t care about it at all and tightened his hands even more causing Naila to sigh roughly, resignedly.
