Hearing Leo's voice, Claire blushed. A blush filled both of her cheeks. Seeing Naila's presence, Claire couldn't help herself.
"Naila?" she muttered.
"Come on, don't mind them both, honey," Devan whispered sensually in her ear and managed to break the silence in the crowd.
Everyone felt jealous of the interaction that was in front of their eyes, instantly forgetting the unpleasant incident that happened a moment ago.
However, a new question arose in the minds of the guests. How could Mr. Aaron appear at an event like this? And who was that beautiful girl and boy who was with him?
There were many conjectures, but no one dared to make a sound.
Reaching the altar, Granma gives a little greeting to the guests present, also apologizes for the mess that happened a while ago, she apologizes for the entire extended family to guests and media. Not only that, but she also gave a brief introduction about Claire and Dave. And it managed to surprise the guests.
"I didn't think that the news about the Smiths was true," said one guest.
"It turns out that she is the sole heir to the Smith family, very beautiful."
"I wonder, how did Mr. Devan get this lucky in finding a life partner?" another guest said.
"Mr. Devan is a charismatic young CEO, and Miss Claire is a very beautiful sole heir. Oh, they are such a perfect combination."
"Lucky, I'm sure this will be the hottest news of the year," said a reporter who had been pointing his camera at the Altar.
Such were the voices heard from the guests. They all kept praising the couple, forgetting the previous unpleasant incident.
Not only that, some of them immediately put up an attitude and thought hard about how to establish a cooperative relationship with the two companies. The company from the Smith family and the Atmadja family, because it will bring benefits to them.
But on the other hand, some of them feel a little threatened by the joining of the two families, even though they don't think about it. Yes as long as they can still establish a good relationship with one of the families, then everything will be fine.
"As the son of the Atmdja family, I am Devan Atmadja, sincerely apologize to the guests for what happened earlier."
"I also want to thank the guests who have taken the time to attend," he added, he also announced that today there was no wedding ceremony, only an engagement ceremony.
The engagement event between himself and Claire Smith. He did not forget to introduce the guests to the whereabouts of his son who was more than four years old. Not only that, but Devan also told a little about the beginning of his meeting with Claire until now, only the outline.
Devan's plan wasn't like this. In the previous plan, he had intended to marry Claire today, but after talking to Aaron about his plans, things changed a bit.
Aaron wanted his nephew's wedding to be held in Australia without the slightest disturbance. He wanted all his family and distant relatives, colleagues to attend. He wanted this to be broadcast and known to all. He wanted to give such a luxurious event to Claire, the niece he considered his daughter.
Unlike today, having a wedding after an unpleasant incident like before was something he had a hard time accepting. He didn't know, he just felt it wasn't worth it.
And because of that, Devan and Aaron finally agreed that the wedding ceremony would take place at another time, without interruption and any other bad things.
Hearing Devan's announcement, everyone was silent and listened.
After that, Grandma said goodbye and came down from the Altar with Dave still in her hands, followed by Aaron who also walked beside her.
The priest took over, a series of engagement events began. Starting with the priest who reads the opening prayer to the ring exchange event. All watched with great reverence.
Just when Devan wanted to put a ring on Claire's ring finger, the girl subconsciously held her breath with her hands slightly trembling.
Sensing the reaction of the woman in front of him, Devan smiled faintly then knelt in front of Claire while opening the ring box in his hand.
"Will you be the only woman in my life?" said Devan loudly.
Claire blushed, her heart beating even harder. Feeling very happy. "I…I…I want to," she said in a timid voice.
Seeing that, the other side of Devan rebelled. His future wife's expression was so adorable and made him want to hug her right now.
Devan immediately pinned the ring on the girl's ring finger with a very gentle motion and kiss her hand. After that, it was Claire's turn to put the ring on the man's hand.
"Take it easy, honey. If you continue to display a shy expression like that, I'm afraid I can't help myself and pounce on you right now," Devan said in a whisper and managed to make Claire's hand movements stop in the air, staring intently at the man in front of her.
"Why? do you want me already?"
"Aww…" At the same time, a muffled scream came from Devan's mouth. Claire stomped his foot so hard it hurt a little.
Leo and Naila who saw that just laughed crisply.
"If you say it one more time, I'll throw this ring away, you pervert," Claire said as she pinned the ring on Devan's ring finger. Immediately the sound of applause rang out from the direction of the guests, everyone cheered happily.
"I love you," said Devan.
"Erm, thanks," Claire replied.
"Only that?" Devan protested as if he didn't accept the answer Claire gave him.
"Erm," the woman replied, then grabbed Devan's arm and turned to face the guest, showing the rings on their ring fingers.
"I love you," Devan mumbled again, but his voice was very clear to Claire's ears.
The woman didn't respond, as if she didn't hear him.
"I love you," said Devan again not wanting to give up.
"I love you," he repeated.
"I love…." His sentence was interrupted when the unexpected happened. Claire suddenly kissed his cheek making the man freeze for a few seconds.
"Can you shut up? I'm not deaf," Claire whispered in Devan's ear then returned to her original position.
And her actions made the guests excited again.
