"Miss what if in exchange I pay for all your groceries."
The middle-aged woman in front of Devan gaped "Really.." wasn't it nice she didn't have to lose her monthly spending money "You won't run away..?"
Devan shook his head and opened his wallet giving him his business card.
"Wow, you're the CEO.." The middle-aged woman stared in awe, already handsome, rich, she was also a company leader. "What if instead you become my daughter-in-law.." The middle-aged woman laughed blinking one eye.
"I'm sorry my mistress I'm married." Devan pointed at Evelyn who was outside "And my beloved wife is waiting." seeing Devan's gaze turn sharp and make her laugh awkwardly.
"Well.haha, as long as you really pay for my groceries.." Devan sighed and changed his position.
...
Devan dropped out of the Super market and immediately approached Evelyn who had just finished with her phone "It's over?." Evelyn got up from her seat.
"Speak to who?" Devan's gaze was so sharp towards Evelyn's hand holding her phone, as if to pierce through and find out who contacted Evelyn, that Evelyn frowned.
"Bony.." Devan squinted in disbelief.
"Really?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's not a man, is it?" Evelyn chuckles.
"If it's a man what's his business with you.."
"You know our deal Eve.." he hissed, Evelyn began to get upset, but she held it off.
Evelyn sighed and then looked at Devan "Listen to Dev, experience teaches me to be more alert to every man, because it's possible that the man will be just like you, thinking of me as a mere pela cur, but since it's true now, the truth is, I won't be angry I'll accept it, won't I also be your pela.."
"Eve.." Devan was astonished, now the guilt back gnawed at him.
Evelyn thinned her lips, hiding her clenched hand behind her back, "Have you?, let's go home."
Evelyn walks towards Devan's car, ignoring Devan's two bodyguards carrying all the groceries.
Now that Devan doesn't know how, just now that their mood has improved, Devan is back to make Evelyn upset, Devan berates him annoyed, only because of jealousy again-again he makes Evelyn angry.
Devan continued to look at Evelyn who was just silent and looked at the window, it seemed like she had completely ruined Evelyn's mood.
Evelyn was upset, she really wanted to be angry but was held back because she had to try professionally. Today Devan twice scraped his old wounds, taking them back to his old apartment, making him remember the bad memories in that apartment that made his heart ache, and Devan said as if Evelyn could easily find a lover, but she tried her hardest to live her life that did not even think of having another man in her life, did Devan know the reason, she said, all because of Devan, the man made him a furious pela cur that made Evelyn disgusted to herself, then now that she had really become the lustful gratifier of the striped-nose men, she said, does still want her to dream of being reunited with her true love..
No, Evelyn doesn't even deserve to just dream of having a family life.
What will his family be like, he is not even confident with himself who is a sex worker does he deserve?.
What about other people's responses, maybe people will say she's the least self-aware woman..
Therefore Evelyn does not want to add to the burden of her life with romance drama, let alone unreserved love because of her who is a pela cur, of course people will think a thousand times to make her a son-in-law, especially rich families like Willy and Devan.
Evelyn just wants to live a quiet life, until she ages and dies.
...
The cooking show went smoothly, without any hitch.
Evelyn properly cooked and served two menus on the table in thirty minutes.
Devan did not dare to come closer because his speech that was too blinded by jealousy made him afraid to make Evelyn's mood worse.
Evelyn was still smiling in front of her, but Devan knew that Evelyn was hiding her anger, in other words Evelyn's smile at her was fake..
Devan realizes since Evelyn decided to agree to their contract Evelyn is only being professional with her job, a job serving her in two years.
Spoiledness..
Mischievousness..
And Evelyn's smile was just a fake.
But Devan hopes that one day he can melt Evelyn's heart and turn that falsehood into sincerity.
"How does it feel?" Evelyn smiled tilting her face.
Devan nodded "Enak once.." Devan again feed Evelyn's food that is delicious, Devan does not lie it tastes very good, Devan does not even believe Evelyn can cook as good as this, it's just that Devan's guilty mood makes Devan feel choked in every mouthful.
To think that Evelyn was just playing a show made her heart ache, until when Evelyn did this, was there really no apology for her.
Devan was still sitting watching Evelyn tidying the dining table, and Devan was not allowed to help even though he wanted to.
"I'll have the waiter come every morning and clean up.." Evelyn turned and frowned.
"Don't I tell you I can do it myself." Evelyn simply did not want to interact too much with others, and served her two-year prison sentence quietly.
Devan pulls Evelyn's hand and lets Evelyn fall on her lap "Sorry.." Devan rested his head on Evelyn's chest.
"I'm just afraid of losing you. I'm afraid you turn to another man, then leave me.." Devan tightened his hold on Evelyn's waist. "I'm jealous to see you smile and even laugh on the phone."
Evelyn sighed then her hand stroked Devan's hair "Am not yours, for now, and I remember not to break the covenant."
Devan looked up "Why just this time..?. Eve, can't you stay with me forever. Don't leave me again."
Evelyn looked at Devan's reddened eyes, this man outside looked firm and cold, but why was it just for her he was glazed over and wanted to cry.
Evelyn shook her head "Can't."
"Why?, why can't.. I love you Eve.." Evelyn chuckles. "You haven't forgiven my guilt yet, neither punish me, punish me as long as you want, but don't leave me, hate me forever but stay with me."
"It's not all that simple as Devan.."
"If it's complicated, I'll make it easy, believe me." Devan held Evelyn's hand and then kissed her. "I'll do anything for you.."
Evelyn closed her eyes "By Damian, I forgive you, no matter how you're still the father of my son.."
"But that's just that."
"Eve,.." Evelyn turned her face not wanting to see Devan's gaze, but Devan cupped Evelyn's cheek until she saw Devan's pleading look again.
"Look at me Eve!. Despite my mistakes, tell me that your feelings are gone, tell me that you don't love me anymore.. "
"I don't love you anymore, my feelings are long gone."
