Very weird. Why did Kaylee feel like she saw Declan smile when she saw Letti smile at her? She seemed to miss him so much that she thought she saw Declan in someone else.
Kaylee took her phone out of her pocket and tried to call Declan back. Declan doesn't answer her calls for the umpteenth time, making her wonder if Declan decided to let her go?
Far away from the camping site, someone inside Kaylee's mind just arrived in front of the Zouch family residence. He noticed that his phone vibrated, indicating that someone was calling him.
A lopsided smile spread across his face when he saw a name printed on the screen of his phone. Kaylee must have missed him, just as much as he had missed her.
Kaylee had been trying to reach him for the past few days, but not as vigorously as he had hoped. The girl only called him once or twice a day. In fact, the girl had not contacted him at all when Declan had given her three days in advance.
If Kaylee had called him in those three days, Declan would have picked up directly. Alas, three days had passed, and Kaylee just remembered calling him a few days ago. In the end, Declan decided not to see the girl.
Declan knows Kaylee has fallen in love with him, but her other side refused him. He wanted to know how much Kaylee felt for him when she couldn't reach him.
If Declan were in Kaylee's position right now, he would definitely contact his fiancée without hesitation. Even if he were late by three days, Declan would try to reach out to his girl relentlessly.
The fact that Kaylee wasn't too worried that Declan didn't pick up the call means that her other side's fear was much greater than her feelings.
What makes her other side scared? Even though he had only met Kaylee's alter side a few times, he could still detect her adoration and longing in her wicked eyes.
He knew Kaylee and her alter side had fallen in love with him, but it was the unknown fear that got in the way of their feelings.
Declan decided to find out and headed to Folkland Island for a few days to visit Hades' home.
The journey was not easy as people refused to talk or mention the name, but it was quite worth it. He got a piece of valuable information, and also… he just found out that Kaylee had indeed been to Spain eight years ago.
If Nick playing the 'ugly' song is Kaylee in disguise, that means… Kaylee is his 'first love'!
The first time he met the girl was nine years ago. At that time, the girl seduced him and asked him to be her first. One year later, the two of them meet again with very different traits. If Kaylee has had a split personality since childhood, Declan wouldn't be surprised.
But…
It was still a mystery whether Kaylee was the same girl who accompanied him or not. Kaylee was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, while that girl... needed to work hard to earn a penny.
If that girl was Kaylee, why did that girl work?
Or maybe he had caught it wrong? It was possible that he made that assumption himself, or perhaps the girl disguised as an ordinary girl not to attract attention.
Whatever it was, Declan wanted to find the answer today.
That's why, when Kaylee left for the camping site and wouldn't be going back to her parent's house for a few days, Declan came to meet Mister and Mrs. Zouch.
Unfortunately, Mister Zouch had left on a business trip and wouldn't be back until the weekend, so he only met with Britney Zouch.
"Declan, what a great day you came here. I feel lonely because my husband and daughter are not at home. Come on in!" Britney immediately walked ahead as soon as she heard from her maid that Declan Black was coming to her house.
Sooner or later, this young man would marry her daughter, and Britney has long wanted to have a son. Therefore, Britney did not act indifferent and quickly considered Declan like her own son.
"Good day, Britney. I hope I don't disturb you."
"Of course not. You're a part of my family now. You can come here whenever you want. Ah, too bad Kaylee isn't here. That girl said she was going out with her friends for a few days but didn't tell me where she was going. Do you know where she is now?"
"I know. Tomorrow I'll be there after her." Declan answered politely and gave a polite smile.
"Is that so? It seems she has accepted you completely. Then I don't have to worry about it anymore. Tsk. But, does she have to forget her mother once she has a husband?"
Declan smiled, amused at Britney's complain-like joke. "Britney, I'm here because I want to know about my wife."
Declan and Britney have both agreed that Kaylee has become Declan's wife, so they don't add the word 'future' or something in front of 'wife.'
"Yeah? What do you want to know? Whatever it is, I will tell you all so that she will not be able to escape from you."
Declan smiled faintly even though he wanted to smile widely at his mother-in-law's response.
"Did you know that Kaylee has an unusual fear?"
"Fear? What fear?"
"I have no idea. Sometimes Kaylee would daydream, and suddenly, her face paled in a cold sweat. But seconds later, she's back to normal, yet she couldn't remember what scared her."
"..."
Declan's eagle eyes didn't leave Britney's expression to find out the change in the older woman's expression. Unfortunately, her expression didn't change much, but his mother-in-law's mouth was tightly shut like a lock was locking the lips together.
"Britney, I've seen it with my own eyes. She has an altered side inside her."
Finally, Britney's blank expression changed, but why did the woman look surprised? Declan could even see his mother-in-law's pair of dark brown eyes looking teary.
"Is… is that true? When did that happen?"
Ha?? "Two weeks ago and also on our engagement night. What the…"
"Finally! Finally, she came back! I knew it. You are the key."
Declan: ??????
