"Should I take you to a Japanese restaurant first so I can see your smile like this? You look sweet and very beautiful," said Devan.
"Stop teasing me, Devan and watch the way," Claire replied.
Devan chuckled "How can I see the others when the most beautiful woman in the world is next to me?"
Claire didn't respond, the woman chose to turn her head away and pay attention to the scenery outside the car.
Only a few minutes later, they finally arrived at a very large Japanese restaurant.
Immediately someone greeted their arrival, and the unexpected happened. The restaurant owner was very enthusiastic when he saw the arrival of the famous couple. The owner of the restaurant also provides services for free, especially for them, also some special menus which are quite expensive are given free of charge.
Not only that, but the restaurant owner also asked them to take a photo together, as well as some of their autographs. And as a fee, they are free to eat whenever and wherever in that restaurant for life.
Since Devan was in a very good mood, the man didn't protest and just complied with their request. While Claire, the woman looked very happy when she was treated like that by the restaurant owner.
"You look so happy, honey. Is the food delicious?" asked Devan, currently they are enjoying lunch in the private dining room at the restaurant. Various types of food menus filled the table in front of them.
"Erm.. so delicious. But sadly, I couldn't eat them all. I wanted it though. The food will be wasted if it's not eaten," replied Claire, taking a deep breath.
"Can I wrap it up?" she added while looking at Devan with a pleading face.
"Do whatever you want, honey," Devan replied with a smile on his face. To him, Claire looks cute when she wants something and asks for his approval.
Instantly a wide smile formed on Claire's lips, "Thank you, honey," she said.
Devan's heart fluttered when he heard Claire's call addressed to him. "Erm, call me like that. I like it."
"Now, Eat up your food, honey," he added.
Claire just nodded and continued to eat.
"Guess, is Dave having lunch right now too?" asked Claire suddenly, pausing her meal for a moment.
"Of course, I'll kill them if they starve my son," Devan retorted.
"Our son, Devan. Dave is not only your son, but he is also my son," said Claire, disapproving of her future husband's words.
"Yes, Dear. Up to you. Now eat up your food," said Devan again repeating his words, Claire just nodded in agreement.
Finished eating, Devan called a waiter to wrap the food that Claire wanted.
"Pack this food," Devan said to the waiter.
"W-well, sir," replied the waiter, he looked a little confused but still obeyed Devan's orders. Because this is the first time a rich man wants leftovers to be wrapped. Couldn't he just order new food again if he wanted to wrap it up?
"We will wait here," said Devan again.
"Y-Yes, sir," replied the waiter and took the food that was on the table and out of the room.
Just a few minutes later, the waiter came with the restaurant owner.
Devan and Claire immediately stood up, "Where's the food?" Claire asked the maid.
"Ah, sorry for everything, Sir and Miss Smith. I asked the waiter to throw away that food and I have asked the chef to make you a new one. I hope you can wait a little longer," said the restaurant owner.
Hearing that, Devan looked at Claire and found her face turning sullen.
"Why was the food thrown away? I want the food wrapped, not others. It would be a shame to throw it away. Even though the food can fill some people's stomachs," replied Claire.
The restaurant owner was stunned to hear that. "Forgive us, Miss. I will prepare new food soon. Don't worry," he replied in a very polite tone of voice.
"No need. You don't have to. I just wanted the food earlier, but you threw it away," said Claire.
"Forgive us, Miss. I thought that letting you wrap leftovers, would be rude, so I asked them to throw it away and replace it with a new one," said the restaurant owner.
Claire took a deep breath, "Never mind, there's no need to apologize like this. Thanks for the service, then we go. Come on Devan," said Claire.
"A-alright, Miss. Thank you for visiting, it is an honor for me to be able to serve you both, see you next time Sir and Miss Smith, "said the restaurant owner while bowing to give thanks.
Leaving the restaurant, the weather that previously felt cool has now turned dark, black clouds can be seen scattered in the sky. Maybe it will rain soon.
"Where are we going? It looks like it's going to rain, we'd better go home, Devan," Claire said, leaning back in the car seat.
Devan put on a sullen face, "No, I don't want to," he refused. It felt like he wanted to curse the weather that had suddenly changed.
"So what if it rains? I also won't take you to play in the rain, honey," Devan turned his head to the side.
"How about we watch a movie at the cinema?"
"Cinema?" Claire replied she then looked at Devan, looking thoughtful. So far, she has never been to the cinema because she is too busy working to pay off her adoptive parents' debts. Even after returning to the Smith family, she never thought about this because she was busy taking care of her son.
"What are you thinking, honey? Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Devan while waving his hand in front of Claire's face.
"Oh, it's okay, fine. Let's go to the cinema," said Claire immediately turning her gaze to another direction.
Seeing that, Devan smiled. He then took his cell phone, wanted to book a movie ticket.
Right after leaving the restaurant parking lot, it was raining very hard. No talk was heard, only the sound of raindrops accompanied by romantic music that became the voice in the car.
The highway they passed was not too crowded. But Devan deliberately drove the car slowly. Solely just because he wanted to linger with his future wife.
With that kind of atmosphere, Claire unconsciously fell asleep in her chair.
