Husband's Regrets: Revenge Marriage
(MM&GL) CHAPTER 20. Help Felix.

Everyone can love easily. But not everyone can understand what love really means. It is very cliche to talk about love. If we give it our all, it means we love it.

But love is not about giving and receiving. But about sincerity, clarity, and also trust. Being an important key in love itself, if it has not given all three, it is not love.

Devan may want to give the whole world to Joana so that she can be his. Unfortunately what Joana needs is not that. He just needs freedom without Devan's intervention, running his own life like a normal human being.

"Miss, there's a package for, you." Tita approached Joana, who was living daydreaming in her art gallery.

Since the incident this morning, Devan went straight to the office and has not contacted him at all. Devan is very busy.

"What package?" Joana frowned confusedly.

"From Mr. Felix," said Tita handing over a sizable box to Joana.

Joana gets more confused, she stares at the package and Tita turns.

"This what's it all about?" ask Joana.

"I don't know, Miss. You can open it right away, let me help you," Tita said.

"No, I'll open it myself. You just go" said Joana, refusing subtly.

Tita nods her head in agreement, only to go not far from Joana, as she is asked by Devan to keep an eye on Joana. Everyone must be afraid that later Joana will return to acting rashly, because the mood of Joana often changes at any time.

Joana herself opened the box slowly, as she held it heavy enough, so she could not guess what it contained. Joana opened it slowly, until the moment the box opened, she was shocked by the contents.

"Cat?"

A very beautiful brown cat, her eyes sparkling green. Joana shook her head, how could Felix give her a cat gift but put in such a container?

"Felix really, thankfully the cat didn't die" said Joana, grabbing the sweet cat into her cradle.

However, as he held onto his leg, there was a letter that was purposely stuffed with the cat's leg.

Joana saw it, a small pink envelope that was very funny. Joana took it, but she hesitated a little, she glanced at Tita who was still standing watching her.

"Ehm, Tita, I think I'm thirsty. Can you get me a drink?" joana.

"Good, Miss." Tita nodded slowly and left the room.

Joana heaved a sigh of relief, she just dared to open the envelope and it turned out to contain a letter written by Felix.

Hi, I hope you like the little gift I gave you.

I can't come often, but hopefully with this it can help.

Under the folds of this cloth, there's a small cell phone and also medicine for you. Save it well, don't let Devan know.

Joana was a little surprised, he looked around again, when it was confirmed that it was safe, then he opened the cloth used as the cat's base. Apparently there was a mini phone that Felix deliberately put there.

"Miss, this is the drink."

Joana flinched, she hurriedly put the phone back in and covered it up. Then he received a drink given by Tita.

"Thank you, I'll drink it. After that I want to rest" said Joana.

"Well, let me help you bring this," said Tita, extending her hand to take the large box containing the cat.

"Don't, no, I'll bring it myself. Just take me to the room," Joana quickly refused, she couldn't let Tita touch it before she kept Felix's cell phone to safety.

Tita nods in understanding, and helps Joana to go to her room, after which she leaves Joana alone.

Joana herself immediately opened the phone, it turned out that even though it was small, the phone was very sophisticated. It can be used to open the internet and others. As Joana was looking around, her phone rang making her surprised. But he immediately picked it up.

"Hello?" joana said doubtfully.

"I'm good," Joana replied a little awkwardly. "Thank you, thank you for the help" he continued.

"Don't say thank you, Joana. I haven't been able to get you out of Devan's hands" Felix said.

"Yes," said Joana again, really still awkward with Felix.

"All right, I'm glad you're okay. In the future, I will send you a tutorial from the doctor about training for your feet. And don't forget to keep taking the medicine, the doctor said it could help your foot heal" Felix said.

"Ehm, yes. Thank you," said Joana again.

Both of them must still be equally awkward, because they only met once and then not for long.

"All right, I'll hang up. Remember, keep this phone well, don't let Devan know" Felix said.

Joana just nodded even though Felix did not see her, after making small talk for a while, the call finally ended.

Joana grasps her phone tightly, she glances around her, confused about having to hide it so Devan can't find it.

Joana goes around the room, looking for a place Devan won't reach. And after thinking hard, Joana finally kept the phone under the bed, but she took it back.

"No, it's not safe here. Devan could have seen it. I have to find somewhere else" said Joana.

Joana looks for another place, until she finally finds a place that Devan will not reach. That is in the closet at the bottom, Devan is unlikely to reach the place because it only contains a bedcover.

"It's as safe as it seems, hopefully Devan doesn't find this phone," said Joana expectantly, he himself was very afraid if Devan would find out, most likely he would be the one to get the rampage from the man.

It was late at night when Devan came home. The house was very quiet because people were sleeping. He himself went straight into his room which looked dim.

Devan looked at Joana curled up behind her thick blanket. His face was cold and unfathomable. He took off the coat he was wearing and the shoes, and he lay down next to the woman.

Feeling the movement beside her, Joana opened her eyes. He scrunched his forehead while looking back.

"Dev, just got home?" joana asked in a hoarse voice, her eyes were still very sleepy.

"Hm, it's night. Sleep again" said Devan, gently rubbing Joana's arm.

Joana did not immediately reply, she suddenly twisted her body to face Devan.

"Hugs" said Joana in a voice that was not so clear.

"Hm?"

Joana close her body, it seems like she herself is getting used to the presence of Devan who is always with her. Joana hugs Devan unsolicited, the woman also inserts her hands into Devan's shirt, wiping her warm chest.

"Joanna?" Devan was quite surprised by Joana's attitude, but the woman had fallen asleep again.

Devan let out a long sigh, he rubbed Joana's hair slowly. The look in Devan's eyes was completely unpredictable at all. After making sure the woman slept well, Devan released Joana in a very slow motion so as not to wake the woman up.

Devan got off the bed, he walked into the closet and opened it. Without saying anything, Devan searches for something stored behind the bedcover that is there. Upon finding him, Devan smiled sinisterly with glittering eyes.

Devan held the small phone firmly, barely squeezing it even. Don't think she's stupid, not knowing what Joana's done.

"Keep trying to run away from me, the more you want to leave, the stronger I want to hold you back, too" furious Devan with teeth clenched with anger.

"Felix ...."
