After creating an uproar, Dev continued, "You don't have to find out who my wife is. She's a simple woman, and I love her very much. I hope you can keep her privacy and not disturb her, never bother her with your curiosity, let alone stress her out. I don't want any of that to happen because she's bearing the fruit of our love."
For the second time, the public was made dumbfounded by Dev's statement. No exception Darrel, for a long time he did not know the news of Agya, it turns out that the woman was happy with his life.
"Huh? What truth is this? Mr. Dev's gonna have a kid soon?
"Quick that? Did Mr. Dev was married a long time ago? What about Alenaa?"
"It deserves Mr. Dev did not confirm his relationship with Alena some time ago. Apparently Mr. Dev has a wife.
"She's very good at keeping her relationship secret until it's not smelled by the public."
"Congratulations Mr. Dev. I'm getting curious about his wife's face."
"Ah will be what the descendants of Mr. Dev later. I'm so curious about this mysterious family."
Dev ends his speech, then returns to the MC to close the forum.
Once again Dev stared at the camera. Did Agya see all that? What is his wife's response now. Wasn't this confession he wanted long ago?
"Congratulations Mr. Dev." Now the congratulations from Dev's business partner overwhelm the man. Even many of them are investors and competing to run their new business with Dev. Not only that, Wilantara Group's stock price soared in a few seconds after Dev's statement of his love for his wife.
"Happy Dev." said someone who made Dev's forehead wrinkle deeply.
"Sir Daven." unceremoniously, Dev immediately welcomed the embrace of his adoptive brother, not expecting Daven who became his enemy in seizing the rights to have Wilantara Group present in the forum.
"I admit my defeat Dev, I shouldn't have competed with you just to snatch something that wasn't mine."
"Sister, we can work together. Go back and be part of the Wilantara Group. I can give you a subsidiary to lead."
"No Dev. I'll focus on the effort I built myself."
"But--."
"No need to pity me Dev. I am happy with my life. Ah yes, can I meet my sister-in-law?"
"of course. I'll set a schedule for that. Maybe with a double date."
"It's not a bad idea. Anna is also pregnant with our second child."
"really? My wife would be so happy to meet Anna."
"But Dev. Will you let me meet your wife? Papa still hasn't accepted me and Anna."
"I'll try to talk to Papa."
"Okay, congratulations to you once again. I can't stay here for long" said Daven, then he left there in a hurry. Perhaps he was afraid that his presence would be known to his father.
"Sir, some reporters are waiting for you to hold a press conference" secretary Kim said.
"What do they want to know? I've already stated everything." Dev stepped out of the auditorium with long steps. However, his steps stopped when again his eyes must be damaged by the presence of Darrel.
"You!" dev's jaw hardened, he so hated the man who once filled Agya's heart.
"It looks like you're still hostile to me" Darrel smiled, stepping over to Dev as he put his hands in his pants pocket.
"What are you doing here?" dev's gaze was still the same, cold and full of oppression.
"I. Ah I just watched your inauguration as President of Wilantara Group, as well as congratulating your success in impregnating Agya."
"Shitts. What do you mean?!" cetus Dev's. His gaze increasingly looks unfriendly, even his hands that have been clenched firmly, ready to be thrown into Darrel's face.
"You think all this time I just kept quiet and let Agya go for you? Ck, if you think so then you've got Mr. Dev Wilantara wrong." Darrel pulled one corner of his lips into a mocking smile.
"Then what do you want?"
"I'll take back my love from you."
"Haha." Dev was wide-eyed, he did not care about the passersby beside him, "You are really a crazy man. You want to take a pregnant woman from her husband? Has my brain moved to the knee of Mr Darrel Wesley? Ah, do it if you can. I'm waiting for the results of your efforts." cynical Dev with a face to challenge him, he was not at all afraid of the boy's words yesterday afternoon.
"I'll prove it to you, Mr. Dev." cried Darrel looking at Dev's back moving away. He was twice as upset as Dev, damn that guy has managed to have Agya's heart? No, Agya must still love him so much, how could the woman forget him in just a short time.

"Do I have to eliminate him now, sir?" ask Secretary Kim, reassuring his young master's words.
"Huh, let him live. I want to see how much he fought to take Agya away from me." Dev stepped towards the window. His mind is back in chaos.
"They're still there?" Now Dev's attention is on the media who are still waiting on the Wilantara Group page.
"They're waiting for your press conference."
"Cancel everything and get them out of here. I don't want to see anyone anymore."
"Good sir." Secretary Kim nodded her head and walked out of Dev's room.
***
Elsewhere, Agya was still staring at his place, his body seemed to freeze when he heard Dev's statement just now to the public. Dev confesses his love in public? Ah is this not a dream? What should he behave like now? Saying thank you to Dev? No-no, that sounds pretty ridiculous.
Oh then what response should he show when Dev returns?
"She's a simple woman, and I love her very much. Never bother him with your curiosity, let alone stress him. I don't want any of that to happen because she's bearing the fruit of our love."
The sentence was again ringing in Agya's head. Ah, how romantic that stiff guy is.
Chequek.
The open door hendle voice shifted Agya's gaze now. The woman smiled broadly as she moved from her seat. I can't wait to welcome someone who will appear from behind the door.
"Mommy." The smile that originally expanded wide now instantly receded for a moment.
"What's wrong? Do you think Mami is Dev?" Madame Valerie smiled mockingly as she closed the door of her daughter-in-law's room and walked inside.
"Gum."
"Are you looking forward to your husband coming home? Mami didn't expect Dev to be publishing your relationship today."
"So you don't know Dev's plan?"
"No, he didn't tell Mami."
"Oh, I think mom knows everything." Agya again landed her body on the sofa, as did Miss Valerie.
"Have you eaten, baby?"
"It has. Bi Noam just brought me chicken porridge and seaweed soup."
"You don't feel nauseous anymore?" Agya shook her head slowly, "It's been a little reduced, not as often as it used to be."
"Thank God."
"Ehm, Ma. Will Dev be very busy with his new position at Wilantara Group? I'm afraid he doesn't have time for me anymore."
"Honey. Dev will always make time for you. You don't have to worry."
"But Ma, these last few days Dev has always come home in the morning, just stopped a few hours and left again."
"Ah indeed some days Dev is very busy taking care of his inauguration as Presidir, but after that he will not be as busy as this."
"really?"
"Yeah dear." Madame Valerie nodded, closing her eyes briefly. He chose to lie so as not to make Agya think more.
