Chapter 257 - 257. Loser
"Hey, Why did your discussion turn out like this? Devan, don\'t say anything bad. I can guarantee Byanca is the perfect woman for you," said Mrs. Seira trying to reassure her son.
"Mom, maybe Devan is tired, so he\'s like this. Isn\'t that right, honey?"
Devan did not reply, instead, the man looked away in another direction.
"Besides, why was the wedding date changed without my consent? Don\'t you guys take my opinion seriously?" Devan raised his voice a little.
"Devan, watch the way you talk, you can\'t raise your voice like that," said Mrs. Seira.
"I want to ask you one more time, where have you been lately? Why do you always ignore my calls?" Mrs. Seira asked her son.
"That\'s none of Mama\'s business," said Devan, his face looked crumpled, it was very clear that he was holding back his emotions.
"Is this how you behave before your wedding, Devan?"
"Mama just wants to ask you to accompany Byanca, but you always ignore me, not only me but your future wife\'s phone you also ignore, what happened to you?"
"Is it because of that woman?"
"Be aware Devan, she\'s just a nuisance, she just wants to ruin your relationship, you\'re only blinded by temporary pleasures," now Mrs. Seira couldn\'t stand it anymore and vomited what she was holding back.
"Women? What are you talking, Seira?" asked Mr. Atmadja.
"Devan, are you playing with another woman behind Byanca?" The middle-aged man then turned to his son.
Hearing that, Devan didn\'t answer immediately, struggling with his thoughts.
He wanted to tell the truth but didn\'t know where to start.
Loser? hmm, in terms of explaining feelings, maybe it\'s true that he is a loser.
This is the perfect time to say it all.
"Devan, answer me, why are you silent?"
"Is what your mama said true?" Mr. Atmadja again asked his son.
"Hmm, you should ask Byanca first," said Devan at last.
"What do you mean, Devan? Why me?" asked Byanca, starting to feel anxious and worried. Thinking about the tape evidence that Edward had obliterated would at least lessen her feelings of dread.
Even though she didn\'t know, why did Devan always talk as if he knew something?
"Why do you always corner your future wife?" said Mrs. Seira.
While the rest of the family just listened silently, not daring to make any sound.
"Looks like your relationship is a little tenuous," now Lana chimed in.
"I feel that way too, honey," said Jerry \'Byanca\'s dad\'.
Hearing that, Grandma who was among them took a deep breath and then joined in the conversation. "You shouldn\'t meddle in their business. Let them sort things out on their own. All we need to do now is help and support them both," she said in one breath.
"Right, I agree with you," said Serly, interceding.
"Seira, don\'t go too deep into their relationship. Don\'t get too involved in their business, I think you understand that every relationship will get into trouble, let them solve it themselves," she added.
The person she was talking to made a sour face, "The thing is that their wedding day is so close, and Devan always ignores Byanca. I can\'t stay silent watching this," she replied.
"Alright, give them time to talk. They need to learn a lot, Seira, they are not young anymore for this kind of business, how long are you going to interfere in their business?" said Serlynot because he defends Devan or Byanca, it\'s just that she feels that Seira has crossed her limits as a parent, she feels that she still considers Devan and Byanca to be small children who need direction and guidance from her.
To be honest, Serly also feels the same way as Seira regarding Devan and Byanca\'s interactions. No, not only her but the rest of the family are like that too.
Even Grandma.
It\'s just that they choose silence because they feel that this is not a problem that needs to be exaggerated, and again Byanca and Devan are no longer children.
But, unlike Seira, the middle-aged woman still treated her son and future daughter-in-law like a child who needed direction to act.
Seira was silent hearing Serly\'s words, but only a few seconds later spoke again, "That\'s not what I mean, I just don\'t want their relationship to falter, the wedding reception is coming soon. And during that time, we don\'t know what things could happen and ruin all of this, I\'m just trying to keep it from happening."
"As a mother, I would do anything for them," she added.
Byanca, who heard all of this, was silent, looking down, not knowing how to respond.
"Since we are all here and touched on discussions like this, I want to ask you, Devan. You must answer Mama honestly," said Seira turning to where her son was.
"Where have you been lately?"
"There\'s no way I should report on everything I do, right?" Instead of answering, he asked back.
"Why don\'t you ever pick up the call from me?"
"I\'m just lazy to talk, Ma," answered Devan casually.
"Did you visit the woman\'s house?" Seira asked.
Without Byanca knowing, she clenched her fists. She knew very well, who the woman meant by Mrs. Seira.
Meanwhile, the family members who were there quietly waited for Devan\'s answer.
"So why mom? after all, it\'s none of your business," Devan said, raising one hand and supporting his chin, looking so relaxed, as if all of his mother\'s questions had no meaning at all.
"Leave her, be aware, soon you will marry, Devan," replied Mrs. Seira unmitigated.
The man didn\'t respond and just kept quiet, much to Madame Seira\'s vexation.
"From now on, you should pay more attention to your future wife and mother of your child," said Mrs. Seira again.
"Seira, what are you saying?" Mr. Atmadja immediately rose from his position hearing his wife\'s words just now.
The middle-aged man didn\'t know about Byanca\'s pregnancy because it was only arrived today, unlike the rest of the family, that Byanca\'s pregnancy had become an open secret.
