Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 302 - 302. Seira's Curiosity



"It's finished, it turns out that you are very beautiful even without any makeup," said Seira with a smile on her lips, she looked at Claire's face in the mirror.

"Thank you, Mom," Claire replied then took the middle-aged woman's hand that was on her shoulder.

Seira who was still watching Claire's face suddenly remembered something. "Honey, can I ask you a question?"

"What is it? Tell me, Mom."

"What's your mother's name, honey?" Seira asked pretending not to know.

"My mother? Uncle Aaron once told me, my mother's name is Jennie, Jennie Smith. Why do you ask like that, Mom?" asked Claire.

"I have a friend named Jennie, honey. Her face is very similar to yours," Mrs. Seira replied.

"Is that true?" said Claire enthusiastically.

"That's right dear. May I see your mother's face?" said Mrs. Seira.

For a moment Claire fell silent, her head lowered.

Seeing Claire's reaction, Mrs. Seira asked again, "What's the matter, honey? Did you miss her? I'm sorry. I'm sorry for asking like that." Madam Seira took a deep breath. She felt guilty again.

Hearing that, Claire raised her eyes and looked back at her reflection in the mirror.

"I don't have a photo of them, Mom. Photos of my parents are only at the Smith residence in Australia," Claire said after a few minutes of silence.

"You'll see when you visit the Smith family, Mom," she added.

Madam Seira took a deep breath. She had expected this, even so, she still asked Claire in hopes that her curiosity would be satisfied soon.

"What's wrong mom?" Claire asked again when she didn't get any response from the middle-aged woman.

"It's okay, honey. I just wanted to make sure of something," Mrs. Seira replied with a sigh.

"You'll see my parents' photo later, Mom," said Claire.

"Hmm... Alright. It's getting late now. You should sleep, honey," said Mrs. Seira again.

"But Mom... I feel uncomfortable leaving the family..."

"Don't worry, honey. Leave it to me. Now, I'll take you to the bedroom to rest," said Mrs. Seira, interrupting her future daughter-in-law.

"Ah yes, about Dave, I will take good care of my grandson. All you need to do now is rest in peace. You must be very tired," she added with a smile.

Hearing that, Claire was silent for a moment then nodded. "All right, Mom. Thanks for everything."

Mrs. Seira nodded, she then took Claire to one of the guest rooms, then rejoined the family in the living room.

"It's getting late, don't you guys want to give Mr. Aroon some time to rest?" Mrs. Seira's voice rang through the room and managed to make everyone turn their heads towards her.

"It's already ten o'clock at night. It seems your discussion will never end," she added and sat down next to her husband.

"Grandma, where's my mother?" Dave asked the middle-aged woman.

"I told her to rest first, honey. Your mother is very tired, it's late after all. I don't want her to be sick," Mrs. Seira replied, then glanced at her son briefly.

The boy nodded.

"Claire is fine, right?" Grandma asked to be sure.

"Yes, Mom. Don't worry, she's fine," replied Seira.

After that, she then took Dave to her room, telling her to rest too.

While the other family members are still in the living room.

Seeing his mother's reaction, Devan smiled faintly. He did all that on purpose just to give his mother and Claire some time to talk. He knew very well that his mother had much to say to his future wife.

And now, it looks like his plan is working.

Not only that. Earlier, when Claire and Devan left. The remaining family members in the living room alluded to the wedding day. Which initially only discussed general matters, and ended up deciding the time of marriage for Claire and Devan.

The decision was the result of the agreement of all family members in the living room, no exception.

And when Devan rejoined Them, Mr. Atmadja told the man everything. Devan did not refuse, he even entrusted everything to all of them.

So their wedding will take place one month later, it will be in Australia. All expenses for the wedding reception and other matters related to the event will be borne by the Atmadja family. Ranging from big to small things, the family did not allow the Smith Family to spend a dime.

After the discussion was over, Mr. Atmadja glanced at the clock in the room. It was almost eleven o'clock at night.

"I never thought that tonight the discussion about the wedding reception was over. Whereas previously I only invited you to dinner," said Mr. Atmadja to Aaron.

"No problem, Sir. I'm very happy instead. Isn't it like this, we can all save more time?" Aaron replied with a smile. Not only that, he could return to Australia at any time. They had discussed all important matters tonight.

Everyone nodded. Feeling very happy.

"Now, let's take a break. It's late at night," said Mr. Atmadja.

Hearing that, Aaron nodded. So did the others, including Devan.

Everyone finally dispersed and returned to their respective rooms to rest.

***

The next day.

Mrs. Seira woke up earlier than the others. The middle-aged woman wanted to prepare breakfast for everyone, including Claire.

Assisted by several maids, she finished everything before seven in the morning.

"Arrange it neatly," said Mrs. Seira to the waiters who brought various kinds of breakfast menus.

"Yes, madam," replied the maids almost simultaneously.

Mrs. Seira smiled, then woke everyone up to have breakfast together.

Everyone was already gathered in the dining room, except for Claire. The woman had not appeared at all. It was unusual for Claire to wake up late.

"Have you woken up Claire?" Grandma asked.

"I did. I asked the Maid to do it earlier," Mrs. Seira replied.

"I'll check her room," she added and stood up, walking towards her future daughter-in-law's room.

Knock... knock... knock...

Claire who had just finished bathing was suddenly startled by a knock on the door.

"It's me, honey. Are you awake?" Mrs. Seira shouted in front of the bedroom door.

"Wait a minute, Mom," Claire replied then approached the door and opened it.

"Ah, I'm sorry, honey. I thought something happened to you," said Mrs. Seira right after the bedroom door opened.

"I'm fine, Mom," Claire replied.

Seeing the woman's appearance, Madame Seira smiled. "Wait for me, I'll get some dresses for you, honey," she said and walked away. How could she forget small things like this?

A few minutes later, Claire was done. A pink dress clings to her body. Together with Mrs. Seira, the woman went down to the first floor and joined the breakfast together.

It turned out that everyone was there, except for herself.

"How was your sleep, honey? Did you sleep well?" asked Grandma, ahead of Devan who also seemed to want to greet the woman.

"Good morning, Grandma. Good morning, everyone. I slept well," Claire replied as she greeted everyone in the room.

"Very well, then sit down and have breakfast with us," said Grandma.

Claire didn't respond and just nodded with a smile on her lips.

They then had breakfast together. No discussion was heard, only the sound of spoons and forks clashing filled the silence.

After breakfast, Aaron and Claire prepared to head back to the hotel.

The man decided to leave for Australia tomorrow morning. So he wanted to finish all his business in Indonesia before returning to Australia.

"I'll take you to the hotel," said Devan.

"No need Mr. Devan. Thank you, we can order a taxi. I don't want to bother you, don't you want to go to the office today too?" Reply Aaron.

"It's true. I want to go to the office. But before that, I want to take you to the hotel. I can't rest if I don't make sure you come back safely," said Devan. He still remembers everything Grandma said to him.

Yesterday in the afternoon, before leaving for Atmadja's residence, while they were waiting for Aaron's arrival, Grandma told them everything that had happened during their visit to the Mall.

Claire also did the same. Says that Byanca suddenly appeared and intends to hurt her.

Since then, Devan would never leave Claire alone or leave without his escort or knowledge.

He knew that Byanca was a cunning woman full of ambition.

He did not know when the woman would launch her action again. He was very afraid of her future wife was hurt.

Hearing Devan's words, Aaron took a deep breath.

"We've troubled you too much, Mr. Devan. No problem, we'll just take a taxi back to the hotel."

"Besides, I'm pretty sure that today you will be very busy at the office," added Aaron again. Not without reason, he said such things because he received a notification from his secretary that many companies want to cooperate with the Smith family, all because Claire engages with Devan.

And he firmly believed that the same thing happened to Devan's company.
