Chapter 168 - Ch. 168 Pay With Kiss
After finishing changing, Kaylee went back into her room only to see Declan had also finished dressing neatly. Declan looked at his wife with a satisfied smile when he saw that the clothes he had brought for the girl suited her perfectly.
"Thanks for the cloth."
"It's not free." Declan walked over to his wife and immediately snaked his hand around her waist to pull her closer to him. Declan tapped his lips with his finger with a mischief look. "You have to kiss me as payment."
Roxanne rolled her eyes lazily, but she still gave what he wanted nevertheless.
"Done. Can we go home now?" begged Roxanne, inviting an amused chuckle from him.
"Yes. Let's go home. Are you done packing?"
"Yup."
Declan carried Roxanne's bag with ease as if it weighed nothing. Then they walked out of the cottage hand in hand.
After locking the cottage door, Declan led Roxanne to a dead end, making Roxanne confused.
"Aren't we going home?"
"We are."
"But why are we here?" Roxanne was confused because Declan didn't take her to climb down but instead walked towards the ravine.
Declan didn't answer her question and gave her a mysterious smile which made Roxanne even more curious.
Once they reached the ravine, Declan took her to the left, and only then did Roxanne see another trail leading to higher ground.
"There is another route?"
"That's right." Declan helped Roxanne up the stairs one by one with great care.
The steps of this road were very narrow and uneven. It was very different from the stairs at the music camp. If they were not careful and slipped, they might even fall into the abyss.
Fortunately, a wooden handrail served as a barrier between the stairs and the ravine, so they wouldn't fall to the side if they slipped.
"The cottage we slept in yesterday belongs to the inn above and doesn't belong to the campsite area."
"Ha?" Roxanne was getting more and more confused by Declan's words.
By the time they arrived at the top of the hill, Roxanne could see a large building and several cottages similar to the cottage area.
Roxanne saw Declan's luxury car parked there not far in front of the cottage, and a familiar man was standing in front of the vehicle.
"Then how can I sleep in a cottage that doesn't belong to the campsite area?" Roxanne remembered that it was Aubrey who gave her the key separately.
The girl also accompanied her every time she wanted to return to her cottage room. And just today, when she wished to show her gratitude to the girl, Aubrey was missing.
What's even weirder… why did she feel like she saw Aubrey when she saw the young man standing in front of Declan's car?
Both have the same hair color and a similar aura. Was it possible… Aubrey disguised herself as that man… or was it the young man disguised as Aubrey?
After all, isn't that what she's doing? On weekdays, she disguises herself as Nick, but at night she disguises as Roe to attend rehearsals with her orchestra group or meets clients?
Wait a minute. If this young man indeed were Aubrey who accompanied her and helped her during the music camp program, that would mean…
"So Aubrey works for you?" Roxanne's guess made Declan grin.
"Smart girl." Declan gave the bags he was carrying to the young man Roxanne suspects was Aubrey.
Roxanne just realized this young man was indeed a man because there was no way a girl could carry her heavy bags. She alone had a tough time holding it alone, let alone a delicate girl like Aubrey.
Wait a minute… As far as she remembers, Aubrey wasn't as tall as this young man…
Roxanne watched the young man stored her bags in the trunk of Declan's car.
She thought back to her time with Aubrey. She was pretty sure Aubrey wasn't as tall as this young man. The girl was indeed taller than her, but only slightly. As for this young man… he's almost the same height as Declan!
Even if that man disguised himself as Aubrey, or Aubrey disguised himself as this young man… there's no way a person's height could change overnight.
Roxanne was still looking at the young man intently until she realized that she was admiring the young man's handsome face. She was just about to take a look at the young man's face when her vision was suddenly blocked by something.
Apparently, Declan had covered her eyes with his palms making Roxanne turn to the man with a frown.
"What are you doing?"
"I should be the one asking you. What are you doing staring at another man while I'm by your side?"
"…" Wow! Who would have thought this man would feel jealous so quickly just because she was looking at other men? Roxanne sighed excessively as if she was feeling exhausted. "You feel jealous when Jacob hugs me, and you feel jealous when I take pictures with my friends. Why should you feel jealous just because I'm looking at other people? It's not like he's more handsome than you."
"Are you saying the last sentence just to cheer me up?"
Roxanne hugged Declan's arm tightly and made sure she buried his sturdy arm between her two soft mounds.
Declan's eyes darkened at her seductive gesture, and he enjoyed the pleasant roundness of his arms.
Ah, too bad he's wearing his black coat, so he can't feel the curve of his favorite hill.
"Of course not. I'm talking reality. You're the most handsome, hottest, and the sexiest guy I've ever met. That's why I fell in love with you. You are my first love." Roxanne said it using her sweetest tone while showing her best smile while blinking her eyes to add her cuteness.
She was sure that Declan couldn't resist her overload cuteness!
"Fine. I can never win against you." Declan brushed his nose against her, earning a cute giggle from the girl.
"But… I have a quick question. Who is that guy?"
"…"
This girl… didn't Roxanne just now try to lessen his jealousy? Why is the girl now asking Kristopher's name??
How should he punish her now?
