Chapter 149 - Ch. 149 Letti Is Declan's Sister?

"Ehem… ahem… Sorry about that, Miss Kaylee… Uhm… can I call you sister from now on? You will soon become my brother's wife, after all."

Kaylee was flabbergasted, but she answered her friend… er… her future sister-in-law nevertheless.

"Yes, I don't mind. Nice to meet you… Uhm…" Kaylee pretended didn't know her name.

"My name's Leticia Campbell, but you can call me Letti. And one more thing, please forget what I said earlier. Good night and see you later."

Tut. Tut. Tut.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely quiet once Letti's voice had disappeared. Kaylee didn't dare raise her head because she was sure she would see a triumphant smile on the face of this shameless man.

"I think you managed to make two people hate you tonight."

"Thank you. I'm an expert in this field."

That's not a compliment! Why does this man sound so proud?

Kaylee felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it. She had no idea that she had misunderstood Declan's relationship with Letti. And to make it worse, Letti is Declan's sister.

Why did she cry over nothing? And how could she possibly know that Letti is Declan's sister?

"How… how did it turn out she is your sister?"

"Come here." Declan gently pulled Kaylee's hand and led the girl to sit on his lap as he sat down on a chair.

Kaylee's face was getting hotter, and she was sure that the red hue painted on her whole body because it was the first time she had sat on the man's lap. Despite being embarrassed, Kaylee didn't refuse and sat comfortably without daring to look the man in the eye.

"Do you remember I was an orphan and lived in the Grace Orphanage?"

Kaylee lowered her head, and her clever brain began to guess what Declan wanted to say next.

"So, Letti is also from the Grace Orphanage?"

"Yes. My mother left her the moment she was born."

"What?" Kaylee thought Declan had treated Letti like his own sister considering that he loved all the children living at Grace Orphanage. Never did she expected that Letti was his sister through flesh and blood! "She is your birth sister?"

"Half. We had different fathers."

"Oh. What happened? Why did your mother leave you at the orphanage?"

"I have no idea. Maybe she felt we were a burden in her life and discarded us at her will. But at least, she dumped her two children in the same orphanage. Otherwise, I would never know I had a sister."

"I don't know what to say. I can't imagine how could a mother… do that to her own children. Do you hate her?"

"I don't hate her. Besides, I don't remember her as much. She was a history that I didn't bother to look at. Plus, if that woman hadn't abandoned me into an orphanage, the Black wouldn't have adopted me, and we might never have met. I don't care what she had done to Letti or me. All I think about now is to survive and protect my sister until that kid finds someone who can take my place."

"Letti is very lucky to have a brother like you." Kaylee doesn't have an older brother but has a cousin ​​like Robert, who is like her older brother.

Her heart was happy for Letti after hearing the secret of the girl's birth which was not so pleasant.

"So now you know. There is nothing to worry about between your friend and me. I love Letti, but it's only because she's the only baby sister I have. My feeling toward you is a lot different, and you already know it. On the contrary, I still haven't forgotten the fact you were hugging your male friend behind my back."

Gulp! Why did this man remind her again?

"You don't have to worry about Jacob either. We're just friends, just friends," stated Kaylee repeatedly while looking straight into the man's eyes to express how deep-felt her statements were.

"What kind of friends hug each other affectionately. You know that there is no such thing as 'just friends between a man and a woman.' One of them must have a feeling."

"But… I don't have any feelings for Jacob."

"Then convince me."

Kaylee clutched her pajama towel nervously at the sight of her fiancé's wide grin. This man is teasing her!

As if finding new courage within her, Kaylee tilted her head and gave a quick peck on his cheek.

Kaylee was too embarrassed to kiss him on her own. Not to mention her heart pounded so hard that she couldn't find her voice. But she looked at Declan with a pleading look as if she felt sure Declan understood what she was trying to say.

However, this cunning shameless man made her want to go back to digging a hole to hide.

"That's not enough to convince me." Declan tapped his lips with his index finger then commented on a seductive evil smile. "You should have done it here."

This guy, really… Kaylee couldn't find the right words to describe Declan's super shamelessness.

Having no other choice, Kaylee put her hands behind Declan's neck and planted her lips against his cold full lips. Right at that moment, a familiar scent assaults her nose, bringing her buried memories came to the surface.

Kaylee recalled she went on a picnic to her favorite park with her friends and… 'her.'

She took over her mind and her soul completely as Kaylee pulled away and gave Declan a suspicious look.

"Why did you go to Folkland Island?"

Declan was a bit surprised to see that there is something different about Kaylee. Is it Kaylee's other side? No. It's totally different.

The girl on his lap was still the Kaylee he knew, but at the same time… she was not.

"Declan… are you investigating me?" Instead of backing away, Kaylee's both hands snaked around to feel his muscle and brought her face so close that her breath hit Declan's skin, making him skip a beat.

What is this? Is this girl an enchantress?
