Chapter 175 - 175. Love Confession (2)

"I want you, Anna. I love you very much. I don't want you to disappear like that time," Devan said continuously.

Anna froze like a statue when she heard all of Devan's words. Remembering all the things she's been through so far and also Devan's feelings that she never expected.

Anna's feelings were raging, without her realizing it, the tears had gathered and filled her eyelids, and maybe they would soon escape.

Devan who was still bowing his head on Anna's shoulder didn't feel any movement and didn't hear any response from the woman either.

Devan slowly raised his head and looked at Anna's face which was already wet.

"Why are you crying? Hmm?" asked Devan in a gentle motion stroking Anna's cheeks gently.

"Did I hurt you?" he added again.

Anna shook her head and sobbed.

"You already have a fiancé," Anna muttered in a hoarse voice.

"Don't think about it. If you ask me to cancel, then I will," replied Devan.

"What about your family? Mrs. Seira and..."

"Stop thinking about it and worrying about their whereabouts. It will be my business," replied Devan who immediately cut Anna's words.

"B-but Devan..."

"Anna, now I will ask you," Devan interrupted again.

"Do you have the same feelings as me?" Even though he already knew Anna's feelings for him, it would be different when she said it directly. Yes, Devan wanted to hear it from Anna's mouth.

He didn't know what happened, so that their discussion touched this topic, even though the position of the two was unusual and each of them was still half-naked.

Hearing Devan's question, Anna blushed. Suddenly clumsy not knowing what to say. Stayed on the man's lap for a few minutes, until suddenly Anna moved and hugged Devan, resting her head on the man's shoulder.

With her actions, Anna hoped that Devan would understand her point. Because to be honest, the woman was a little embarrassed and didn't know what kind of answer to give, because there didn't seem to be a suitable sentence to answer the man's question.

Their skin touched again, making Devan close his eyes reflexively for a moment.

"Okay, I take this as your answer, Anna," said Devan.

"So don't stay away from me anymore, don't avoid me let alone have any intention of leaving and disappearing again okay?"

At the same time, Devan smiled faintly when he felt Anna's nod on his shoulder.

After that they were silent for a few minutes, both Anna and Devan never thought before that the separation that was about to happen turned out to be like this. Both of them already know each other's feelings and of course, they are happy.

"What's the time now?" asked Anna breaking the silence, her head still on the man's shoulder.

It's almost one in the afternoon. Why?"

Hearing that, Anna moved to move her body away from Devan but failed, because Devan's hands wrapped perfectly around her waist and locked her.

"Don't move, honey. I want to be like that for a few minutes," Devan said then moved one of his hands and grabbed Anna's head, bringing her back to lean on his shoulder.

Anna didn't respond, her face was already red.

"It turns out that your body is getting smaller when compared to five years ago," said Devan.

"And I like it even more. It would be very fitting if it was under me," he added again.

"Aw," Devan screamed then chuckled because Anna suddenly pinched him.

"Want to do it again?" asked Devan while stroking Anna's back which was still naked.

"Aww." Again, Anna pinched him.

"I'm just kidding, honey. Before becoming your husband, I will not do anything more than this. I promise," said Devan.

"And for what happened five years ago, I want to apologize for snatching your crown without your permission."

"I'm sorry," Devan said again.

"Even so, I don't feel sorry at all. Because of that incident, I was able to love you as I do now."

Anna blushed again. It would be a lie if she was not happy to hear the man's words.

'May I believe it?'

'May I put my hope in him?' thought Anna. On the one hand, she could not lie to her feelings, while on the other hand, she was afraid. Anna was very afraid that she would feel the same pain again as before.

Suddenly Anna's stomach growled making the owner sink her head into the man's shoulder in shame.

"Want to find something to eat before you go in?" he asked.

Anna nodded faintly.

"Okay, then put your dress back on," Devan said.

"Let me help you," he added with both hands slowly moving up the woman's dress, once in a while Devan kissed Anna making the woman bite her lip, trying to keep her voice from escaping and being heard by Devan.

"Done," Devan said as he put his hands on Anna's waist.

"Thank you."

"Now it's your turn," said Devan.

"What?"

"You took my shirt off, so you have to put it back the way it was," Devan replied.

"All right," Anna stuttered, looking a little embarrassed, she then complied with Devan's request.

Anna stopped the movement of her hand when Devan kissed her again.

"Devan..." Anna immediately pushed Devan away from her.

"Stay there and don't move," Anna pleaded, then buttoned the shirts one by one. While Devan, the man watched Anna's face, stared at her without even blinking.

"Done," said Anna then got up from Devan's lap, and returned to her chair, although it looked a little difficult the woman managed to sit in her place as before. If she was honest, she was surprised, how could Devan easily lift her body earlier?

While on the other hand, there was a feeling of displeasure when he saw Anna return to her seat.

"What do you want to eat, honey?" he asked.

"That's up to you," answered Anna. "Also if you can, don't call me that. You have to remember that you still have status with Byanca, I don't want anyone to..."

"Don't worry, I call you that only when there are two of us," replied Devan, interrupting Anna.

Anna sighed and didn't respond anymore.

"Do you want to go to a Japanese restaurant?" offered Devan.

"Yes, I do," answered Anna enthusiastically that very second. "A-ah, sorry," she said again when she felt that her response was too much.

While Devan, the man laughed lightly. "Okay, let's go to a Japanese restaurant," he said. Not without reason, he offered the restaurant to Anna, because a few days when the woman was still at his house, he could guess that Anna seemed to like that cherry country.

Anna just nodded in agreement without giving a reply.

The red Ferrari then slowly drove up and out of the baseman's apartment X.
