Chapter 287 - 287. Shopping Center
"I\'ve been wanting to do this for a long time, so let me take care of my grandson. Besides, you\'ll be back in Australia soon," she added.
Claire took a deep breath, "Okay, Grandma. It\'s up to you," she said then sat back down and continued her breakfast.
A few moments later, everyone had finished breakfast. Dave is also neat and fragrant.
"Mr. Aaron, I\'d like to ask your permission to take Claire and Dave with me," Grandma said.
At the same time, Aaron\'s cell phone rang.
"Excuse me, wait a minute, madam. I want to answer the phone first," Aaron said politely.
"All right, please. I won\'t forbid," said Grandma.
Aaron just nodded then stood up and walked a bit away from the living room.
"Grandma, where do you want to take me?" Dave asked as he turned to the old woman.
"Where will you go, honey? I can take you anywhere," Grandma said with a smile on her lips. The reason she came so early was that she wanted to take Claire and Dave for a walk wherever they went. She was very bored at home, so far her only boredom buster was when Leo and Dave came once a week and took her everywhere. But, She also had to do it with great effort.
Now, there\'s Claire and Dave. She doesn\'t need Devan and Leo anymore. And before Devan came, as much as possible she wanted to take Claire and her grandson away first.
Her time with Claire and Dave did not want to be disturbed by anyone. Even Devan, Let\'s say she is selfish, but she does it because she feels love for Claire and Dave, after all, she does it only occasionally. So according to her, it doesn\'t matter.
"I\'m just following my mother, Grandma. Wherever she wants to go, I\'m going with her," Dave said innocently.
"You don\'t mind, do you, honey?" Grandma asked.
"I don\'t mind, Grandma," Claire replied with a smile.
Aaron, who had finished receiving the call, sat back down in his original position.
"You want to go?" asked Aaron.
"If you\'ll let me take them, Mr. Aaron," said Grandma.
"Of course. That\'s not a problem for me at all. I also happen to want to meet someone," Aaron replied.
"All right, thank you," said Grandma.
"You\'re welcome, Madame. Then I\'ll say goodbye first, Claire, Dave, you guys have fun," Aaron said again.
"Okay, Grandpa," said Dave.

It is now ten in the morning. A black limousine enters the basement of a shopping center in the city of J. It is the largest shopping center in Indonesia.
"Come on, honey," Grandma said and took Dave\'s hand and Claire\'s arm. They got out of the car and immediately headed for the elevator which was not far from where they were.
Entering the shopping center, soon some security approached.
"No need, we just want to go for a walk," Grandma told Security.
Don\'t ask why, because the shopping center they go to is one of the Atmadja family\'s assets. The shopping center is under the auspices of the D.A Group.
Not to mention the widely circulated news, anyone who saw them would immediately recognize.
"Okay, madam. I will ask some people to follow you from afar. You can ask them for help if you need anything," said the man in the security uniform.
"Don\'t worry, we will keep our distance as much as possible so as not to disturb you," he added.
"Okay, it\'s up to you," said Grandma and walked again.
Claire also wouldn\'t be surprised by all that treatment. Before leaving for Indonesia, she already knew that Devan was the CEO of one of the largest companies in Asia.
"Mom, why do those people watching me since earlier?" Dave asked, tugging at his mother\'s hand.
"Is it because I\'m so handsome like Dad?" he added with an innocent look.
Instantly Grandma burst out laughing. The middle-aged woman laughed loudly at her grandson\'s innocence.
"That\'s right, honey. Your good looks attract them," replied Grandma.
"I don\'t like being the center of attention, Mom, Grandma. I don\'t like it when people see me. It\'s very annoying," said the boy again with a frown on his face. And what the boy feels is also felt by his mother. Claire doesn\'t like being the center of attention.
Hearing that, Grandma smiled faintly. She then turned around and looked for the security guard who was following them.
"Wait for me a moment, honey. Don\'t go anywhere. I want to go there," said Grandma, pointing to one of the security guards.
"Do I need to accompany you, Grandma?" she asked.
"No need, honey. I\'m just a moment, won\'t be long," said Grandma and left.
Only five minutes later, the old woman returned.
"Come on," she said to Claire and Dave.
"Where are we going, Grandma?" she asked. It wasn\'t without reason she asked that, because all the visitors who had originally passed by and filled several places, had somehow diminished, and even now no one entered her view except the shop employees.
"You come with me, honey," Grandma replied, continuing to walk.
"No one\'s paying attention to you anymore, Dave. Are you happy, honey?" asked Grandma turning to the boy next to her.
Hearing that, Dave looked around him, and at the same time, a smile appeared on his face.
"Let go of my hand, Mom. I want to walk alone," said Dave and at that moment, his hand slipped from Claire\'s and Grandma\'s grip, running a little in front of the two female figures.
"Where are you going, honey? Be careful, don\'t run around like that," said Claire trying to match her son\'s position.
For a moment, Grandma was stunned. It turned out that his grandson wanted to run around freely.
At the same time, a wide smile appeared on her face.
"Okay, Dave. Run, I\'ll chase you," Grandma said in a hard voice.
"Okay Grandma, hahaha. Catch me if you can," Dave replied while shouting. It was as if there was no one else in that place but the three of them.
Claire, who heard the words of the two figures, panicked.
"Grandma, don\'t run. Dave, stop right there," Claire shouted trying to catch up to the two of them.
"Grandma...."
"Dave, stop right there. Don\'t run," Claire shouted. She couldn\'t understand how Grandma could act like a child like this.
"Grandma, stop running. You\'ll fall later," said Claire again. The knee-length dress she was wearing made her steps a little disturbed.
"Dave... Dave... Don\'t run," she said again, clutching her chest.
"Come on grandma, come after me," Dave shouted. Instead of obeying his mother\'s words, the boy accelerated his feet.. And that made Grandma look even more excited.
