"Ahahah, no, no. I'm just kidding," Leo said imdiately when he got a glare from his cousin.
"Go out."
"Okay," Leo said as soon as he got up from his position, moved in silence, and quickly left the room.
After Leo left, Devan sighed harshly.
It was still early and the man had co to interrogate him.

No one realize that it was already noon, Anna, Naila, and Dave were now in the dining room, eating lunch.
As usual, various nus filled the table in front of them, ranging from grilled ats, seafood, and various types of vegetables and fruits.
"Elena..." Anna called as she lifted her eyes.
"Yes, madam?"
"Any ice water?"
"Wait a minute, madam. I'll get it for you."
Anna only responded with a nod.
"Carlos, may I ask you sothing?" Anna asked the man who was always behind her.
"Please, madam."
"Aren't you tired of standing up and following ?" Anna asked without looking at the man.
"It is my duty, madam."
"Don't you ever have personal things to do? Like eating? Or showering?"
"I was wondering because you're always standing at the door when I open it," she added
"You'd better continue your lunch, madam. Thanks for worrying about ," Carlos replied, a reply that didn't satisfy Anna's curiosity at all.
"Aren't you tired of taking care of ?"
"It is my duty, madam," Carlos replied, repeating the sa sentence as before.
"There's no need to be so serious. After all, there's no Brian here, if you want to do sothing, just go. Don't worry about . I can take care of myself, just consider this my generosity to you," Anna said again and took the last mouthful at the plate.
"No need, madam. The only thing I need to do is continue to be near you and take care of you, wherever and whenever. This is my duty," Carlos replied, his tone not changing one bit. Still the sa as before, firm and polite.
"Hmm, alright. Thank you," replied Anna with a tired sigh. It seed that her efforts to get Carlos away from her were in vain, the man's dedication to Brian was higher than anything else.
"Here's a drink, madam," Elena suddenly appeared with a glass of iced water in one hand.
"Thank you," said Anna accepting the glass and downing its contents.
After finishing lunch, Anna decided to relax a bit in the central room of the Mansion on the first floor, watching tv accompanied by various snacks that Elena brought from nowhere.
Until a few tens of minutes, Anna turned to her son who was sitting next to her, "Let's take a nap, honey," said Anna.
"Um, but you have to accompany ," the boy replied.
"Sure, honey," Anna imdiately picked up her son, left the room, walked towards the elevator with Naila following behind.
The three of them were never separated unless Anna had returned to her room.
"So what did you want to say earlier?" Asked Naila suddenly getting up and taking a sitting position on the bed.
Dave had been sleeping since a few minutes ago Naila had been waiting for Anna to speak and resud what they were talking about this morning but the woman didn't make a sound, so Naila couldn't wait any longer.
Anna, who had just closed her eyes, was suddenly startled by Naila's sudden movent.
"Shh...Dave will wake up later," Anna said, she then got up from her position, normalized her feeling, then walked to the door, peeked at the keyhole to make sure that the situation was safe and no one would eavesdrop on their conversation.
Naila who saw that frowned, she then got up and walked to the sofa, waiting for Anna.
"It seems sothing very important," Naila said right after Anna sit on the soft chair, her eyes never left Anna.
"I want to ask for help," Anna began after taking a deep breath.
"Eh?" Naila was confused, not because of the woman's words, but her slightly strange behavior.
"But before that, I want to be honest with you first," said Anna imdiately.
"Eh? Indeed all this ti...." Naila said hanging, looking a little hesitant to continue.
"Erm, right. What you have in mind is true. I lied a lot even to myself."
Naila was silent hearing that.
"Okay, I'll listen."
"But after you know all about , you have to promise not to tell anyone, and also I'm telling you this because I have no other choice. I need your help, Naila," Anna said at length with a breath that sounded hoarse.
"Slow down, don't rush. I'm not going anywhere.
Hearing Naila's words, Anna was silent for a mont.
"Do you rember the conversation that night at Nicho's house?" Anna asked after returning her breathing to normal.
Naila nodded, "So why what's with that? Haven't you t Dave's father?" she asked.
"Brian isn't Dave's dad."
"Ha?" Suddenly Naila's brow furrowed as if she couldn't properly understand what Anna's ant.
"Yes, the man who is my husband now is not Dave's father, Brian is not the father of my son. He is just my ex-lover five years ago," Anna explained again.
"But..."
"No..."
"No, I an why did you marry him? Were you guys really in a relationship all this ti? Does Mr. Nicho know this?" Naila asked, her sentence sounded ambiguous because she was a little confused in describing the contents of her thoughts at this ti.
"I see what you an...." Then Anna told to Naila everything about herself, starting from how she got into a relationship with Brian, how they were dating, and how their relationship ended five years ago.
Not only that, but Anna also told all about her life, about how she survived after her mother died, how she helped pay for Brian's education at that ti, all these things she told without a trace.
Also, about how she got to et Dave's dad at that ti, how their day one-night relationship was. And how the life she lived after.
eting with Nicho also did not escape her, until Naila ca to the house and beca her son's babysitter.
Anna told Naila everything about herself without adding or subtracting anything.
