Chapter 41 - Ch. 41 The Most Lovely Creature

Declan led Kaylee to sit on the chair while pushing the chair like a gentleman. This was the first time a man had treated her like a princess, and she couldn't help but feel her heart starting to vibrate at this sweet gesture.

After that, Declan sat across Kaylee while smiling thinly at her, making Kaylee not know what to do other than lowering her face.

Wait a minute. Wasn't Declan just asking her out to dinner to fix the impression of their not-so-good first meeting? Why did she feel like she was on a date with that guy?

And also… why weren't there any other visitors on this second floor besides the two of them? Kaylee had no idea that Declan's eagle eyes were always gawking to her expression, and now the man showed an amused smile that his date was glancing in all directions as if she was looking for something.

"What's wrong?"

Kaylee gasped as she listened to the man's cello-like voice and lowered her face again.

"It's nothing. Don't you feel that it's strange?" Kaylee asked in a very soft voice, but Declan found her voice so sweet in his ears.

This was the first time Kaylee spoke without one having to ask first. During their first meeting at the Zouch residence, Kaylee wouldn't talk, and her words would stop once she answered, 'it's nothing.'

Kaylee, who sat in front of him, was somewhat different from the Kaylee he met at the Zouch residence.

At that time, Declan remembered Kaylee didn't dare look him in the eye at all and looked agitated as if she had prepared to run away from him.

But now, the girl didn't look like a frightened rabbit-like when he was with Roe.

Even though Kaylee didn't feel entirely at ease, but at least the girl didn't intend to run away.

Instead, he noticed a blush on both cheeks the moment he kissed her hands.

"What makes you feel strange, Miss Zouch?"

"When I came downstairs, the diners at this restaurant were so busy that many were queuing outside. But on this floor… it's very quiet."

"I thought you didn't like crowds."

Kaylee blinked a few times as she tried to digest Declan's words. What did this empty second-floor place have to do with her dislike of crowds?

Kaylee's blinking eyes were just average, but somehow Declan saw the girl's lashes rising and falling seductively as if calling out to him. Without realizing the two of them, Declan gave a gentle smile as he looked at each girl's expression solemnly.

He never knew that Kaylee had a million cute expressions. Whether it was an expression of anxiety, fear, or the courage to defend herself as he cornered Roe, he loved all of it. And now, the girl's confused expression looked so adorable. Her nose scrunched cutely while her forehead frowned, making him want to kiss them.

Kaylee was still trying to think hard to digest Declan's last sentence when she realized the man's gaze could not leave her. Instantly Kaylee ran out of words and lowered her face again.

She had never received such a gentle look in one's eyes when looking at her. The man stared at her as if he adored her like she was the most beautiful girl in the world.

Kaylee didn't know why Declan looked at her that way, but she did know that her heart needed a doctor to treat it so she wouldn't have a heart attack.

"Uhm... Mister Black, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because I want to enjoy the most lovely creature in front of me." was the short answer making Kaylee wanting to faint.

She never knew that this man could say some sweet words that melted any girl's heart. If Kaylee didn't know that Declan Black was Black Moon, maybe she would ignore it and try not to be affected by his flirtatious words.

In fact, she would not have accepted this man's dinner invitation in the first place.

But, ever since she found out that Declan Black was Black Moon, somehow she couldn't think negatively about him anymore.

After all, the person who managed to produces such a romantic yet majestic masterpiece couldn't be a hideous person, right.

"You're flattering me, Mister Declan."

"Am I? I spoke the fact, though."

"Good evening, Mister and Madam. Have you fixed your order?"

Kaylee felt saved by the waitress's presence and immediately opened the menu to order the food she wanted. Since her stomach was not in good shape and her appetite was not very good, she decided to order light dishes such as vegetables and soup.

After that, Kaylee was back to zero as she didn't know what to say to break this awkward silence. Luckily, Declan helped her by opening a conversation.

"I heard from Mrs. Zouch that you joined an orchestra."

"Yes, I am."

"Do you mind if I know the name of your orchestra group?"

"It's NYA (New York Angel) Orchestra."

Declan chuckled at the name. "It is such a coincidence. My group name is RSH (Royal Symphony Heaven) Orchestra. We are both rivals, Miss Zouch."

"Yes, I noticed that. Our two groups have been competing for the best orchestra group for the past two years."

"That's right. But strangely, I never saw you in the NYA group," stated Declan made Kaylee choke on her own saliva.

Kaylee's body became tense as she realized she had made a big mistake. NYA's pianist is Roe, not Kaylee!

Meanwhile, Declan could barely contain his laughter at the girl's bunny-like behavior.

It seemed Kaylee wanted to run away from him right now, but Declan would not let her get away from him.

Plus, Kaylee was the only girl he has fallen in love with after accepting that his first love... his savior, was a boy.

"Ah, now I remember. Their pianist's name is Roe." as if oblivious to Kaylee's panic state, Declan continued his statements making the girl grip her skirt tightly and lower her head to hide her face, which was now filled with dismay.

Declan couldn't bear to see the girl looking helpless, so he decided to correct this misunderstanding. The man got up and knelt with one knee and opened the grip of Kaylee's hands gently.

"These two hands are too precious. Don't hurt yourself, miss."

Kaylee felt her heart stop beating at that moment. Where had she heard these words?
