"Miss, are you awake?" asked Erik.

"I\'ll come in, Miss," he added after getting no response.

The sound of the door creaking open echoed through the corridor on the second floor.

Erik\'s brow furrowed when he found no one in the room. Miss Claire who was previously on the bed could no longer be found there.

"Miss Claire..." Erik called.

Hearing the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom, suddenly a sigh of relief escaped his lips.

Claire had woken up and was currently taking a shower. Knowing this, Erik immediately left the room and closed the door tightly. Choose to wait outside the room.

Until a few minutes later, Erik knocked on the door again.

And this time, he got a response from within.

"Come in," Claire said when she heard a knock on the door, the woman had just come out of her walk-in closet. Wearing a peach knee-length dress. Her long black hair was untied.

"What is it?" Claire asked again when she saw Erik emerge from behind the door.

"No Miss, I just wanted to check on your condition, because you haven\'t woken up since a long time ago, you even skipped breakfast this morning," Erik explained.

"I\'m fine. Just a little tired. I\'m sorry if I worried you," Claire said.

"Ah yes, where is my son?" she asked again.

"He\'s playing under, Miss," replied Erik.

Hearing that Claire nodded.

"It\'s already noon, Miss. I\'ll ask the Maid to prepare food for you, come down in a few minutes," said Erik.

Claire glanced at the clock in her room, and in that second a harsh breath escaped her lips. Turns out he slept until noon.

"I just want to eat here," said Claire.

"Okay Miss, I will ask the Maid to deliver your food in a moment," Erik replied.

"Also bring Dave here. I want to have lunch with him," Claire said again.

"Yes, Miss. As you wish."

And after that, Erik said goodbye. Back to the kitchen where Devan and a boy seemed to be waiting for his arrival.

"Miss Claire wants to have lunch in her room," Erik said right after stopping in front of Devan.

Hearing this, Devan\'s brow furrowed faintly, then said "Okay, let me bring the food for her."

"Is that right, Dave?" he said again, asking for support from his son.

"But sir, Miss Claire said she only wants to be with Young Master, nothing else," Erik said trying to explain.

"That\'s because she didn\'t know about my arrival," replied Devan.

"Okay, well, tell her someone wants to meet her," he added.

"No, no," he said again.

\'With all the misunderstandings that have befallen us both, saying I\'m coming might just make her appetite go away,\' Devan thought.

Erik, who heard the man\'s uncertain words, was silent, waiting for what he would say next.

"I\'ll wait until Claire finishes lunch, until then don\'t say anything about my arrival," Devan finally spoke again.

"Okay, sir," replied Erik, nodding in agreement.

Devan then turned to his son, "Honey, Mom wants to have lunch with you. I think she\'s not mad at you anymore."

"Daddy\'s going to eat with us too, right?"

"Later, honey. For now, Mom and Dave are the only ones eating together, later I will join," Devan replied.

"It is okay, right?" he asked, stroking the boy\'s head.

"Why Daddy?"

"Um, I\'m full, honey."

"Is that true?"

Devan nodded, "I\'ll just wait for Dave in the main room, how about that?"

"Um, okay Daddy," Dave said obediently.

"But can I ask you something, honey?"

"What\'s that Daddy? Just tell me," Dave replied.

"Don\'t say anything about my coming to your mother, okay?" said Devan.

"Fine, I will comply with all Daddy\'s requests."

"Good, smart boy," said Devan then lifted the boy\'s body, lowered him from the chair.

.while Erik who was between them just kept quiet and listened. Didn\'t even have the intention to ask. The man only gave instructions to a few maids to prepare food on a trolley that they would take to the second floor.

All the food was Devan\'s cooking, while the food the chef cooked earlier was wrapped, to be distributed to street children or beggars.

It was the Smith family\'s custom. Whenever there was excess food, Aaron asked them not to throw it away, and instead, the man asked them to wrap it up and distribute it to the poor, and it happened almost every day.

"Then wait for me here, Daddy. Don\'t go anywhere, okay?" said Dave to his father.

"Okay honey," replied Devan, cupping his son\'s chubby cheeks.

After that, the boy started to leave, following Erik along with a few maids pushing a trolley filled with heavy food, desserts, and cold drinks along with fruit.

Until Dave disappeared from his sight, Devan did not move an inch from his position. It seemed to meet Anna, he had to be a little patient.

Until now, Devan did not know about the wedding day changes that his family would make.

The man was too panicked by Anna\'s sudden disappearance, that he didn\'t have time to see his family. No, it\'s not that he doesn\'t have time, but rather he is angry, Devan is angry with his own family. Because they are the cause of Anna\'s departure.

To him, Anna was someone he had to prioritize. Finding her whereabouts and explaining all about this misunderstanding was something she thought she had to clear up first.

He should have been able to catch up with Anna after confronting his family and canceling the contest. Only, Devan didn\'t do it. Let\'s say he was too worried about Anna\'s feelings, afraid that she would disappear again as she did five years ago.

Walking with unsteady steps into the main room, the man did not sit there but continued to walk until he reached a glass window that gave a view of the front yard of the Smith residence.

Sitting there, struggling with his thoughts. He never thought that the feeling of fear of loss could be like this.

It felt completely different when compared to when he was with Byanca before.

Thinking about the woman, Devan suddenly thought of the existence of Leo, his cousin.

Since leaving the hospital that day, he hadn\'t seen his cousin. Receiving news from Hendra who said that Leo had been discharged from the hospital made him no longer worry about the man\'s condition.

Although until now he always ignores people at home whenever he calls him, including Leo, that doesn\'t mean he doesn\'t think about his cousin\'s condition.

Not telling them his news was also one of Devan\'s ways of venting some of his anger.

He promised, after returning to Indonesia. He will cancel the marriage.. No matter what, he will still do it.
