Chapter 62 - Ch. 62 Her Heart Is Not Ready!

Mrs. Britney Zouch directly welcomed her daughter with enthusiasm and promptly took Kaylee's hand to go to the dining room immediately.

Even though she wanted to let her daughter enjoyed her dinner time together with her parents, Mrs. Zouch keeps wondering about the development of Kaylee's relationship with Declan.

Every now and then, Kaylee would answer her mother's questions, but mostly she would remain silent because her mother kept on chattering without allowing other people to talk.

"Darling, let her finish her meal first. If she keeps hearing your babbling, she will feel full and not have an appetite for your cooking."

Kaylee laughed with amusement at her father's quirky rebuke while her mother frowns in displeasure at her husband's teasing mocking.

"Nonsense. My sweet baby would never disappoint me, isn't that right, baby?"

"When did I ever disappoint you?" Kaylee said while kissing her mother's cheek to make Mrs. Zouch beamed. "But, mama. I'm not a baby. Please, stop treating me like one."

"She is right."

Kaylee beamed at her father because, for the first time, Mr. Zouch agrees that she is not a weak baby who always needs attention from her parents.

"Really?"

"Yes, really. You are our little girl now."

Suddenly Kaylee's satisfied smile disappeared and was replaced by a scrunching nose making her parents laugh.

"So, darling, please don't torture me and answer me now. Did he confess his feelings to you? Did he ask you to marry him? What is your answer? Oh, please don't tell me that you said no. Come on, tell me now. You promise to tell me everything."

Well, she did promise her mother to tell her, but not everything.

"Mother, please let me finish my dish first, okay."

"Okay."

Kaylee breathed a sigh of relief to hear her mother agree to her request, but the feeling of relief only lasted for a moment when her mother returned to bombarding thousands of unanswered questions.

Fortunately, Mr. Zouch intervened to help her so that Kaylee could still enjoy her mother's cooking deliciously.

Once they finished dinner, Kaylee decided to take a shower and change into clean clothes. She deliberately enjoyed her showering time for a long time and soaked in a giant bathtub.

She played with the bubbles created from the soap with both hands while smiling to herself. It has been a long time since she spoiled her body with a warm, bubbling bath, and her favorite rose scent stimulated her tired body into relaxation.

She didn't have a bath-up in her apartment because she only rented a simple apartment to avoid the public eye.

Only when she returned to her parents' house could she find as much time to soak as much she liked. However, lately, she's been too tired, and the work pressure mixed with college assignments was so draining that she spent more time sleeping than enjoying her bathing time.

But today, Kaylee wanted to pamper her body because it has been a long time since she felt the pleasure of soft soap and bubbles that cover her entire body from neck to toe.

Apart from that, she wanted to linger here so that her mother wouldn't interrogate her too much. Even though her mother felt she would die of curiosity, she would never tire her out.

Once she saw that Kaylee was tired and sleepy, her mother would tell her to sleep.

And sure enough, when Kaylee came out of the bathroom and met her mother, Mrs. Zouch immediately told her to go to sleep as soon as she saw Kaylee yawning wide.

Kaylee smiled happily, knowing that at least for tonight, she could avoid her mother's endless interrogation. She went into her princess-like room and checked her phone to see that two people had mailed her.

One was from Jacob, while the other was from Declan. Since this is Kaylee's because she left Roe's phone in the studio so that no one interrupts her day off, she knew right away that Jacob mailed her thinking she was Nick.

Kaylee opened Declan's short message asking about her daily life, and her face turned red when she saw that the man had written that he missed her very much and couldn't wait to see her tomorrow.

Kaylee was fanning her face with both hands, wondering why the room temperature was getting hot.

In the end, she walked to the window of her bedroom to open the window to let the cold night breeze blow her face. Her body was shivering a little from the cold but enough to subdue the heat in her body.

Really. Kaylee couldn't understand why her body felt burning every time she thought of Declan. Or is it possible that she is sick?

After feeling her temperature had returned to normal, Kaylee closed the window and turned around to reach for her phone.

After pondering for a while, Kaylee decided to give the man a short 'Good night' reply. She opened the message coming from Jacob and winced at the contents of the message.

'Nick, let's join the winter camp program!'

There is absolutely no way she would join that program. M university always holds camp programs twice. Winter and summer camp program.

The camp will be held for three days and two nights and will have a music talent show on its last day .

Well, Kaylee wouldn't mind joining the camp and playing music all day for a full twenty-four hours. This camp was a dreamy activity for musicians and those who desire to play their musical instrument all day long without being a bother.

When she was in college, Kaylee never missed this music camp and always invited Wendy to come along. Even now, Kaylee was excited to join it, but…

There was only one problem.

Kaylee has to share a bedroom with her friends. If she were female and enrolled as a female student, Kaylee would not have a second thought to join this music camp program.

But she is Nick and is registered as a male student. Automatically she will sleep in a room with her male friends, maybe even… take a bath together?

Brrr…

Thinking of this made Kaylee's whole body shudder with horror because she didn't dare to imagine it. She was still traumatized and couldn't get rid of that accident regarding the 'elephant trunk' at the beginning of the semester. Kaylee did not want to see other parts of a man's body that would poison her innocent mind.

Kaylee replied to Jacob for refusing the man's invitation without giving a reason. She could not possibly admit to the young man that she was a woman and could not share a room with the other boys.

'I'll pass.'

'Eh? Why?' an immediate reply appeared without Kaylee having to wait long.

'I don't like cold weather.' Kaylee knew that her excuse sounded ridiculous, but that was the only answer she could think of at the moment.

'Boo! Boring!'

Kaylee laughed at the reply. She knew Jacob would not believe her ridiculous excuses, but the young man wouldn't force her to tell the truth.

The man knew his boundaries and never made her uncomfortable. That's why Kaylee always felt comfortable when she was with that young man.

Kaylee laid on the bed looking at the two young men's log messages, which confused her.

The two people confessed their feelings to her, and Kaylee had to admit she was excited about their confession. The difference was, Kaylee believed she was more comfortable and would be happier if she was with Jacob.

Didn't Nick tell her to chose a man that makes her comfortable?

But… why did her heart and mind always think about Declan? She felt as if her whole body wanted to return to the man's arms.

Suddenly Kaylee remembered the moment when Declan hugged her abruptly so that their two bodies had no gaps, making her face feel hot again for the umpteenth time.

Ugh! Don't think about it, Kaylee. Hurry up and sleep! Kaylee ordered to herself.

Nobody knows since when Kaylee fell asleep, but the girl had slept soundly without knowing that her mother planned to reach out to Declan Black tomorrow.

The next day, her mother invited Kaylee to perform a beauty ritual at her favorite salon. As usual, Kaylee was always a pushover regarding her mother's request. Hence she couldn't say no.

She let her mom dragged her to the salon and went shopping in town.

After beautifying themselves and shopping for a while at the biggest shopping mall, Britney Zouch dropped a bomb right in Kaylee's nose.

"Darling, Mister Black is on the way here and picking you up."

"Wh... What??"

"I will meet my old friend, and I feel bad if you come with us. It will be boring for you. So, you better go on a date with your future husband."

"B... But... but..."

"Speak of the devil. Here comes your future handsome hubby."

Instantly Kaylee felt her heart shattered as her mother glanced at a handsome man walking towards them with all his glory.

Shouldn't she be seeing that man in a few hours? Why did her mother make her meet that man right now?

Her heart is still not ready!
