Chapter 83 - Ch. 83 Forgive Me, Please!

Declan had been wondering about the mysterious sudden change in his fiancèe's nature. After that girl was doing strange things that she never did, Kaylee suddenly fell asleep for no reason. And that too... in the middle their making-out time.

The girl also had a fear that filled her eyes that Declan had never seen before.

As expected. Kaylee Roesalie Zouch is a mysterious girl and yet charming in her own way. That was the first impression of her when he fell in love with the girl.

Nevertheless, he hoped that he would never see the rays of fear dance on those black diamond eyes. That's why he decided to find out what Kaylee's past was like.

He genuinely didn't care what the girl's past was like or the hidden background Mr. Zouch had so neatly covered up. However, if he wanted to get rid of those frightened eyes from Kaylee, then he had to find out the cause first.

Despite his determination to seek an answer, he would save it for later.

For now, the most pressing issue was getting the girl to talk to him.

Declan planned to find out if the girl would fell asleep again when he kissed her with great passion. But after making it hard for the girl to breathe, Kaylee did not fall asleep, and he only found the irresistible dilated eyes and crimson cheeks that made him want to eat her alive.

It was so irresistable and...

Ehem...

Let's back to the main topic.

Declan suspected the change in the girl's nature might be just a one-time thing.

But again, he would save it for later and seriously thinking a way to make the girl forgive him.

As soon as they got out of the car, Kaylee gave him a torturous silent treatment. She walked as fast as possible as if to avoid him and didn't respond even though he had already offered to buy her favorite ice cream.

This time, the girl was especially mad at him and refused to walk side by side with him.

"Kaylee, would you forgive me, please?"

"…" The sulking little bunny still refused to see him and walked until they met the crowd.

Kaylee's steps promptly stopped when she realized she couldn't break through the crowd without getting bumped here and there. She decided to go back and chose to go home when she heard the sound of jazz music from the corner of the crowd.

As a music lover, of course, Kaylee was eager to find out the source of this crowd. Moreover, these street musicians play Christmas songs with nuances of jazz and blues.

Unfortunately… she didn't know how to break through this sea of ​​people for a closer look. The only way is…

Kaylee glanced back at where her annoying fiancé was standing there, looking at her with a blank expression as if he didn't know what she was thinking.

Or maybe the man didn't know, but Kaylee still didn't want to talk to him.

What should she do?

Little did she know, Declan knew precisely what she was thinking. Her facial expression like an open book for everyone to read. He knew Kaylee wanted to look closer at the music source, but confusion broke through the crowd of people made her stop to advance.

Needless to say, Declan knew right away Kaylee wasn't used to being in the middle of hive activity. Maybe that girl had walked around a busy shopping center, but at least the number of people in an elite shopping area was not as hectic as this place.

Not everyone could afford branded goods that cost their fortune, while this place was a public place where everyone could come and walk. And don't forget they will celebrate Christmas day so that they could hear Christmas songs and street performances on almost the corner of the street.

"You still don't want to talk to me?"

Kaylee's body froze when she heard the baritone sound next to her right ear, indicating that Declan was standing right behind her. She also realized that Declan was deliberately standing behind her to keep her protected from the haste pedestrian who accidentally bumped her slim figure.

Kaylee was not short, but she feels she is the shortest girl in the world to face people like Declan, who have monstrous towering built.

"Sweetheart, forgive me, okay?" coaxed Declan so gently in her ears while holding her right hand slowly.

The man dared to put his other hand around the girl's waist even more when Kaylee didn't resist him.

"Did you forgive me?"

The sulky girl clenched her jaw and twisted her body to face her fiancé.

"You already promised me. You said you wouldn't do something I don't like."

"What don't you like?"

"You kissed me!" groaned Kaylee as if she had reached her limit line.

"You like it, though,"

"I…" she was too speechless and couldn't deny it. She did like it but...

"You don't like it?" came the shameless inquire to the poor voiceless bunny.

"Not too often." Kaylee lowered her head in ashamed and wished she could revert the time. Why did she even respond like that, as if she was admitting she liked the kiss?

Well, she did, but this man's mouth was too dangerous for her innocent mind... especially for her soul.

She didn't know why when this man did an intimate act; it made her feel like something was coming out of her heart.

Kaylee didn't know what that 'something' was, but she knew she would regret it if she let her guard down and 'it' escaped.

It seemed this man could trigger something that should not be touched inside her every time this man's advances leveled up.

"Okay. I'll kiss you once a day." Declan gave his innovative shameless solution.

"…" Is there an ending to this man's shamelessness? Kaylee felt that this man's shamelessness increased over time to the point she couldn't measure it with words.

Kaylee glanced sideways to avoid the intense gaze from her fiancé. She did not expect that what greeted her was the cold, oppressive gaze from a pair of unfamiliar eyes.

Her heart was beating fast, and she felt cold sweat running down her neck, making her clutch her fiance's cloth seeking mental support.

"What's wrong?" Declan realized something was wrong with his fiancée and couldn't help but forget about teasing her.

Kaylee turned towards Declan to make the man aware of the same gleam of fear dancing in her beautiful eyes.

Really, what was this girl afraid of? Declan wondered in his mind and followed Kaylee's sight only to find nothing.

Kaylee also shifted her gaze to look for something anxiously, made him wonder what Kaylee had seen.

"Kaylee, what is it?"

"There... I thought... someone follows me here."

"Who?"

"I... I can't see his face."

His? So it's a male. Noted Declan.

Declan reached into something from his coat pocket and pulled out a ball-like thing before tossing it up. Miraculously, the ball didn't fall down but instead floated into midair and shot towards Kaylee's sightline.

Curious about what Declan was doing, Kaylee glanced at the tablet that the man was currently holding.

"What are you doing?"

"Find out what scares you."

"I am not afraid." Miraculously, her anxious heart and intense fear vanished once she heard the man's response.

It made her feel protected when she noticed his serious expression to find out what had scared her.

Kaylee gasped in awe when she saw this area's scene from the tablet. Who had ever thought the ball thingy was a mini drone that could observe and capture anything it catches. 

If she wanted to find something… or someone who was following her secretly, this mini drone was very efficient at searching for the culprit in the middle of the crowd.

After scanning and looking for something suspicious for a few minutes, Kaylee couldn't find anything. Unlike Declan, who was already used to his job, he saw something fishy but decided not to tell Kaylee.

"There is nothing."

"It seems so. I think I saw it wrong."

"Or maybe there is a fan who recognizes you."

"It is impossible. Right now, I'm not Roe, and not many recognize my face as Kaylee. Besides… Kaylee has no fans."

"Yes, she has." Declan gave his trademark smirk when Kaylee looked at him with a questioned look. "Me. I'm your number one fan." obviously, Declan never missed an opportunity to show his adoration and love for this charming girl. "We already talk for a while. It means you already forgive me."

"I have not." protested Kaylee but let the man pull her closer until there is no gap between their bodies.

"So you want to go home?"

"Ha?"

"Since you haven't forgiven me, doesn't that mean you want to go home?"

NO!! She still didn't want to go home. She wanted to see the street performance and enjoy Christmas carols on this street.

This man is extraordinarily cunning and always managed to corner her into going with what the guy wants.

"I forgive you," she said those words at last.

Declan grinned as he brought the girl's head right in front of his chest. As soon as Kaylee couldn't see his expression, his smile vanished instantly. His two eyes glanced to the side where his mini drone camera caught something.

Seriously.. Never did he imagine that Kaylee had a stalker.
