Husband's Regrets: Revenge Marriage
(MM&GL) CHAPTER 22. Silent But Scary.

Devan again smiled, this time sweeter than before, leaving Joana confused.

"I've made the mistake of thinking of you as someone else. But my heart is never wrong" Devan replied without any doubt.

Joana can't answer, but she keeps staring at Devan, trying to figure out the lie from the look in her eyes. But he didn't find it at all.

"Already, don't overload your mind too much. I still have a job today, I'll pick you up tonight again" Devan said gently stroking Joana's hair before the man got out of bed and opened the closet to pick up his work clothes.

Joana straightened her body when she saw Devan open the closet. He was so scared, he glanced at the bottom where he kept the secret phone.

"Oh shitttt! Why should it fall." Devan curses slowly as his suit falls down.

"Devan!" Joana suddenly shouted as Devan lowered his head to grab her suit.

Devan was surprised, he looked at Joana with raised eyebrows. "What's wrong?" ask Devan.

Joana gulps her saliva, she confuses herself what to say. Because of keeping a secret, he became very scared like this.

"No, no, I want to go to the toilet. Please help me," said Joana looking around for a reasonable reason.

"Oh, why bother me. I'll help you." Devan just obeyed how Joana's game that woman was playing right now.

Although Devan had been very anxious to get angry, he held himself back. He does not want to make Joana afraid anymore and will run away from her side.

Devan immediately holds Joana and takes the woman to the bathroom. Her face looks ordinary, but somehow Joana feels that Devan is currently angry with her. He could see from the glare of his eyes that often glittered.

"Once you go, leave me. You get ready, it can be too late" said Joana as soon as she arrived at the bathroom.

"All right." Again Devan said without much protesting.

It really makes Joana confused as well as afraid. He couldn't guess what Devan was thinking right now. Because the man can change all the time depending on his mood.

"Devan couldn't possibly have known about the phone, right? I've kept it very deep, she definitely won't see," Joana said, reassuring herself that it won't be discovered.

"Maybe I'm just too scared to lie to her. I'm sure Devan doesn't know about the phone" Joana said again, trying to find something that could unravel this anger in her heart.

Joana shakes her head, trying to shake off her negative thoughts so that she is not too paranoid. He was just still carried away by the nightmare he had just experienced. Devan wasn't home yesterday so chances are Devan won't know about the phone, that's what Joana thought.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Joana went straight out of the bathroom. He thought Devan was gone, but the man was still standing in front of the bathroom.

"Devs! Why are you standing there?" Joana is again surprised by Devan's behavior which suddenly appears before her eyes.

"I'm looking after you, is it over?" As always, Devan is incredibly calm facing Joana.

"Yes already, you're not leaving?" Joana scrunched her forehead confused.

"And I told you I was looking after you. Now let's have breakfast, after that I just go quietly," said Devan deftly grabbing Joana's wheelchair and pushing her out of the room.

Joana looked up for a moment, noticing Devan's seemingly ordinary face. But why did he feel such a bad feeling. Devan seemed to be holding back his anger, but it didn't seem to him. Or maybe just his feelings?

"Later in the evening dress up beautiful, when I come home, we'll go straight away" said Devan suddenly.

"Where are we actually going?" joana asked very curiously.

"Consecret. You'll know later."

Joana let out a long sigh, she could not do anything if Devan had already said that. He just followed what Devan wanted. That morning, Devan treated him very well.

"I'll go first, just call me if you need anything" Devan said.

Joana nodded in response, she kept her plate still filled with food.

"Joana," call Devan.

Joana looked up, looking at Devan as if asking what was wrong?

"Are you sure there's nothing you want to tell me?" ask Devan.

Joana rounded her eyes, but as much as she could seem to stay calm.

"What story, Dev? There is nothing" Joana said in a very convincing tone.

Devan clenched his hands, apparently Joana really does not want to be honest with him. Now he knew what he was going to do.

"All right, I'll go first." Devan got up from his seat, approached Joana and kissed her forehead before leaving.

Joana heaved a sigh of relief, finally Devan left her. He was already very worried that the man would suspect him later.

Devan came to Felix's office with a creepy look. Maybe if there are birds around Devan will run away all because from a distance of 10 meters only the man's anger is visible.

What folly is Felix actually doing to dare to betray Devan like this. Devan doesn't care, if it's true Felix deliberately wants to help Joana escape his hands and intends to betray behind her, no matter how their friendship, Devan will definitely destroy the man.

"Good morning, Mr. Devandra. You came so early." Felix's assistant greeted me kindly.

"Where is your Master?" Devan asks directly to the point, anyone knows that he does not want to play around at this time.

"Mr Felix is inside, sir." Felix's assistant replied with a trembling body, he was already afraid of himself seeing the look on Devan's creepy face.

Devan gritted his teeth, his hands clenched. He then glanced at his two assistants and Felix sharply.

"Leave us both," he said in a serious tone.

They went out without being ordered twice. They must have loved their own lives more than meddling in Devan's affairs.

After everyone left, Devan went straight into Felix's room without knocking on his door first.

Felix, who was checking the files, was surprised of course because of Devan's arrival. But then he smiled relaxed.

"Bro, this early? What the hell is going on? Is there a problem?" Felix greeted as if nothing had happened, he could even still smile sweetly at Devan.

"There's a problem." Devan said coldly, he was disgusted to see the innocent look of Felix who could smile as if nothing had happened.

"Why? What's the matter? About the company or-"

"I hate pretending let alone making small talk, Felix. Now that the decision is in your hands, you want to tell me yourself, or am I going to kill you with my hands?" Sergey Devan with all the emotions that are not covered.

This time Devan's patience was completely exhausted. Should he be betrayed by those closest to him? Is it hard to be an honest person? Devan would rather if Felix said it directly than secretly in the back want to destroy it. After this, Devan will definitely take decisive action if he already knows what reason Felix did it.
