Chapter 130 - Ch. 130 She's Stronger Than You Know

Robert looked at the big X on the paper his cousin had brought him.

"I know you're Kaylee, and you don't want to share the same room with a boy. You can't even share a room with girls because they think you're a boy. So I separated you from the others."

"You mean…"

"Your cottage is a bit far from the other cottages and is at the top of a hill, so you have to walk quite a distance to live alone. You can take off your disguise and put it on without any disturbance."

"Really?" Kaylee didn't hide her relief and happiness.

From the beginning, Kaylee liked to join this campus music camp. However, because of her identity, which is Nick, she can't join this camp. Kaylee was forced to come because his annoying cousin made such ridiculous requirements about the duel's award.

Luckily her cousin had come up with the best solution so she could still join her friends without having to worry about her true identity being exposed.

"Good idea. You're the best, cousin!" Kaylee raised her two thumbs in praise of her cousin.

"Are you sure you can do it?" teased Robert made Kaylee frowned. "Following the camp program and walking to your cottage will be very exhausting for you. What's more, you have to wake up earlier than the others so that no one will know where your cottage is. Wouldn't it be troublesome for the others to find out and decide to sleep with you?"

"Oh, that's right. It's alright. I can do it." Kaylee said with a tone of confidence and determination.

No matter how long and tiring the activities at winter music camp are, Kaylee will be able to do it.

"If you say so. Anyway, I've done my part. How about you?"

"Which one?"

"You promised you'd help me figure out who Wendy was going to date."

"Oh, right." Kaylee reached into her trouser pocket for her phone but realized she had left it in her backpack. And her bag is still in her classroom. "I'll send it…" Kaylee didn't finish her sentence because her eyes caught something interesting.

She saw a standing frame that was on his cousin's desk. The frame contains a photo of her cousin and two small girls. Kaylee felt she recognized the two children and wanted to take a closer look. Before she could see the image, her cousin changed the position of the standing frame and made it with the photo facing the table so that Kaylee couldn't see it.

Kaylee pouted at her cousin, thinking Robert was teasing her like he did when she was a kid.

"What photo is that? Why can't I see it?"

"It's just not for children." his statement made Kaylee pouted her lips even more.

"So petty."

Robert chuckled in a teasing tone. "Go now, Kaylee. I still have a lot of work to do." to prove his word, Robert typed something on his computer with a serious face.

Kaylee tsked at her cousin, but she walked out of the room nevertheless.

As soon as the study door closed again, Robert took a deep breath. Then he re-established his standing frame, which he closed before Kaylee could see what was in his photo frame.

The photo was of him in his teenage age together with two cute and adorable cousins. He was sitting cross-legged in a room holding a storybook.

One girl clung behind his back, almost strangling his neck while gripped his hair. Well, choking from a five-year-old isn't painful at all, but her grip on his hair was quite troublesome. The other girl was sitting on his lap and pulled the storybook so that it made it difficult for him to read it.

The Zouch little girls were too handful for him, but he adored them that he would beat everyone who dared to make them cry.

Without realizing it, Robert reminisced when he and his uncle's family still lived on Folkland Island. At that time, his cousins ​​were twelve and eleven years old, while he was twenty-four.

"Roxy, you're not a little girl anymore, and everyone had high expectations for you. Be pay attention on your behavior."

"Why?"

"You're the oldest, remember? Someday you will inherit everything your father has."

"What if I don't want to?"

"Roxy,"

"Rothbart, is my papa as bad as they say?"

"…"

"I can't imagine papa killing people."

"He never killed anyone. He only does it when the person is trying to harm his family."

Rothbart and Roxy looked at Kaylee, who picked flowers in the garden and gathered them in a basket.

"What if Kaylee becomes papa's successor? Good idea, right?" The enthusiastic voice came out of Roxy's mouth and her eyes sparkling with hope made Rothbart feel hopeless against this cousin of his.

"Your sister is too kind-hearted and easily influenced by others. She can't be a leader and too weak to face those… Nevermind."

"She's not weak. Kaylee is the strongest girl I've ever known!"

"I think you need to go to the doctor to have your eyes checked. Everyone also knew Kaylee gave up easily and is a crybaby. Don't try to change the topic."

"I'm not. Kaylee is strong. She only looks like that because she wants you all to think she's one."

"…"

"And besides, she's not as innocent as you think. She's wicked like me." grinned Roxy as she looked at her younger sister with an exciting look. "She's much stronger than you know."

What? What does it mean? Why did Roxy sound proud when she praised her younger sister?

Robert never knew the answer, even until now, he couldn't find it. People said it was the oldest daughter on the plane and died eight years ago, but… the Kaylee he knew never could play piano as good as Roxy.

Kaylee was a cellist and quite suck at playing piano, and yet… the new Kaylee could play piano and forgot how to play the cello.

The way Kaylee played the piano was the same as Roxy. And that face... it was Roxy, yet it felt like the girl was Kaylee. The two girls had similar looks, and it had been ages since he didn't meet them before the accident happened.

He couldn't differentiate both, and when he meets the girl again after a year of recovery after the crash, they said the girl was Kaylee... and he believed it.

However, how could Kaylee suddenly play the piano expertly?

It made him wonder if Kaylee is Roxy and the one on the plane was the real Kaylee.

Robert had his suspicion and asked about this to his uncle and aunt, but they didn't enlighten him. They persistently said that it was Kaylee who is still alive, and Roxy was dead.

Which one is true?

Nevertheless, his affection toward his cousin's sister remains the same.
