Chapter 147 - Ch. 147 Where Are My Kisses?

Thousands of scenarios ran through Kaylee's mind, and she also smelled something that assailed her nose. This smell reminded her of the place she once lived a long time ago. It was the distinctive smell of wood and cinnamon since her previous residence near the woods.

Why did she smell this scent from Declan? And how did he find her here?

Kaylee was reminded of Declan's bizarre behavior by sticking with her during the last extra class with that guy. At that time, Kaylee was still disguising as Nick, but the man deliberately approached her every time she distanced herself as if she was the magnet that pulled him.

Wait... Didn't Nick mention Declan when they came home from the music battle night?

"Kaylee, what kind of person do you think your fiancé is?"

"Declan? He's a nice guy, although sometimes I can't understand his way of thinking. Why are you asking about him?"

"No, nothing. I remember you were afraid when you faced him."

"Yeah, I did feel scared the first time we met. But not anymore. I heard from Cassidy, people around him always feel scared at his name, although I don't know why. When you get to know him, you will find he is the most kind-hearted man you've ever met."

"I'm pretty sure he was kind toward you only."

"..." she couldn't refute as Declan treated her nothing but sweet and gentle.

At that time, Kaylee did not suspect why Nick suddenly became curious about Declan. The young man had hardly ever shown any curiosity towards someone before, let alone a grown man.

Even though she was puzzled, Kaylee didn't find anything strange about Nick's attitude.

But now, Declan is here… in the cottage room that her cousin has provided. Does that mean Declan knows that Nick is her??

"De… Declan," Kaylee stepped backward when the man walked up to her. Alas, she couldn't avoid him anymore because her back was already against the room's wall.

Why did she feel that she had fallen into that man's trap at this time? Even if she wanted to run away, she wouldn't be able to do so. Right now, she's in the camping area, and everyone thinks she is Nick. If she ran away right now without using her disguise, what would her friends say?

But… for some reason… she couldn't take her eyes off her fiancé's handsome face. Her heart trembled until she felt like jumping for joy when the man suddenly stood before her.

There was a feeling of fear in her heart, but not the fear that those who scared at Declan. She was afraid that what she saw was just an illusion because her heart yearned for him too much.

"You… Are you real?"

Declan smiled at her gently, and his gaze softened at the longing look from his wife, then raised both his hands to reach the towel on her head. Declan gently wiped Kaylee's wet hair with the towel while massaging Kaylee's head, making the girl sigh in pleasure.

Kaylee and Declan both realized that not the slightest resistance from within Kaylee made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you still avoiding me?" asked Declan to make Kaylee frowned in displeasure.

"Aren't you the one who avoided me? I tried calling you several times, but you never answered." pouted Kaylee while bringing her face close to the man's chest.

This smell… unmistakable… This smell was…

"Did you miss me?"

Kaylee looked up at Declan then answered his question by nodding her head once.

Once he got the answer he wanted, Declan could not contain his yearning. His two hands, still holding the towel on either side of Kaylee's head, pulled her towards him while lowered his head to kiss the girl.

Kaylee felt a bit surprised by the sudden attack but then closed her eyes and opened her mouth while welcoming his passionate love.

One of Declan's hands slipped behind the nape of Kaylee's neck, and with a reflex, Kaylee tiptoed to give Declan access to explore her sweet cavern.

Kaylee's hands snaked around his torso while Declan's other hand circled her waist to bring her closer against his sturdy body. Their shadow that appeared on the floor looked like a shadow where only one person stood there instead of two.

The two turned their heads in different angles to taste each other from all spots. When they both ended their making-out session, both of them were gasping for breath.

"I miss you, love." Declan gave a feather-like kiss on her forehead before hugging his wife tightly, making Kaylee smile happily.

"You should pick up my calls if you missed me." Kaylee pouted as she felt Declan's chest vibrate, indicating he was laughing.

"It's your punishment." was his answer in a matter-of-fact tone as if it was the most obvious answer.

"What??" Kaylee lifted her head and pouted her lips to protest, but her pouting lips earned a peck instead.

"You owed me something, anyway."

"Ha?"

"Didn't we agree to kiss once a day?"

"Eh?"

"I lost my kisses more than a week. So, where are my kisses now?"

This guy… is utterly shameless to the point Kaylee couldn't think of another way to escape.

Kaylee slipped her hands between the two bodies and tried to push the man away even though it was a useless effort.

"You dare asked me for kisses when you have a secret lover behind my back!?"

"What?"

"I know you had been cheating on me."

"I don't know where you heard the rumors from, but I assure you that is not true." Declan wondered how Kaylee could think like that.

"Rumors? But I saw it with my own eyes. You stroked her head and smiled at her like she was the most important person to you."

Declan frowned upon hearing that. As he recalled, he had never stroked the head of any other girl besides Kaylee, let alone smiled as if she was the one who meant the most to him.

Could it be that it was Louisa? He used to always stroke her head and hug her. But after he fell in love with Kaylee, Declan was no longer doing it.

No. There's no way Kaylee mentioned Louisa.. After all, Kaylee hasn't met Louisa yet. So, which girl is Kaylee referring to?
