Chapter 161 - Ch. 161 She Needs Declan

Roxanne rose to her feet and walked back to the meeting area. She decided to find Aubrey, who was working for her cousin. She wanted to find out how her cousin had met a girl as pretty as Aubrey.

She knew Robert loved Wendy very much and turn a blind eye when he knew his lover date strangers here and there. Wendy was an ideal woman for Robert, and he would never let her go. It was strange knowing Robert could meet and hire Aubrey.

Roxanne knew her other alter really liked Aubrey, and she liked the girl too, but she didn't like it when another girl would ruin Wendy's relationship with Robert.

Wendy was her best friend since childhood. Wendy's birth father was her father's right-hand man in their organization on Folkland Island. But she marveled… since when did Wendy and Nicholas' names become Larson? As long as she remembered, the siblings' surname was not Larson.

She could find out after returning to the city. But, for now, she wanted to meet Aubrey first.

Strangely… she couldn't find the girl. So Roxanne decided to ask the other campers' keepers.

"Excuse me, sir."

"Yeah. Can I help you?"

"Do you know where I can meet Aubrey?"

"Aubrey? Who is Aubrey?"

"She works here, as the innkeeper. She has chestnut brown hair and is this tall." Roxanne raised her right hand slightly higher than her head.

The guy tilted his head in confusion while trying to find the girl that fits Roxanne's description.

"I don't think we have a keeper like that. All the innkeeper here is guys. Perhaps you mean the waitress at the dining area?"

"I guess so. Do you know where I can find her?"

"Sure. Go straight there and try asking the head chef. He knows all the waitresses who work there."

"Okay. Thank you."

The guy looked at the young man's back in confusion. It was rare to see a teenage boy ask politely and with respect like that young man. He also wondered if it was possible that the young man liked the girl named Aubrey? She must be a beauty for the handsome boy seeking out for her.

The person shook his head and went back to his activities regardless of what had just happened.

By the time Roxanne arrived at the dining hall, she immediately looked for the figure of Aubrey in vain. Finally, having no other choice, Roxanne decided to find the chef and asked the same thing.

Surprisingly, the chef doesn't know a person named Aubrey??

"There is no worker named Aubrey here. It's the first time I've heard the name."

"Are you sure? But she was the one who gave me the cottage key and…" It was also Aubrey who had prepared the lunch box so that she and her friends could eat first last night.

"If that's the case, you should go to the receptionist. He is the only one who keeps the key and gives it to the guests who come to stay here. Maybe he knows the girl you mean."

Roxanne sighed in resignation. Somehow she felt she would also get the same answer from the receptionist.

In the end, Roxanne decided to wait for her friends in the dining hall while looking up at the hill where her cottage was.

Before Declan arrived last night, she was still meeting with Aubrey. The girl even took her to her cottage. But after Declan came… why couldn't she find the girl? The strangest thing was that no one knew Aubrey.

Very weird.

"Oh, Nick. Why are you daydreaming alone here?"

Roxanne giggled and smirked, "I'm waiting for you guys till I get bored."

"You're not packing?" Adam leaned his back against one of the wooden pillars next to his friend.

"Later. My acquaintance will come here, and I will go home with him." Roxanne noticed that several cars had started arriving to pick up her friends.

Some of the families who wanted to go on vacation together decided to pick them up in person so they could go to the airport and start their vacation.

As a result, the number of buses arriving here was two to three less than the day of their departure.

"What a pity. It will be only Fritz and me then."

"Why?"

"Jacob's mother came earlier, and she said she wanted to take Jake to a place. And the Campbell family is here too." Adam glanced at a medium-sized van until a husband and wife got out of the car looking for someone.

"That is Letti's parents?"

"Yup."

"How do you know?"

"I've seen them take Letti to campus. I think her parents love her very much because she is their only daughter."

"..." Roxanne looked at the faces of the husband and wife with a probing look.

Judging from the light in their eyes and the shape of their jaws, it seems that the Campbell couple was a good family. She was sure that this husband and wife loved Letti sincerely even though Letti was not their biological child.

After all, Declan wouldn't let Letti be adopted into a broken and violent family.

If Letti weren't Declan's sister, Roxanne wouldn't have thought about that girl. But now she knows it, and she couldn't help but want the best for her future sister-in-law.

Plus… she thought of her sister, who died in a plane crash. So feelings of guilt always arise whenever she remembers that day when she tricked her sister.

Her sister's disappointed expression and as if she had thrown her away made it hard to breathe.

Before her breathing became labor, Roxanne blackened out, and her other alter took over her body.

Once Kaylee took over, she blocked all bad memories and suppressed the guilt that was trying to devour Roxanne's soul. It seemed Roxanne wouldn't be able to show up for as long as she wanted without Declan near her.

Since then, Kaylee decided to let Roxanne out while with Declan so that the girl's relationship with Declan became closer. Plus, Declan expected her to be herself.

Only when she was alone or meets someone other than Declan would she come out and protect Roxanne from within.

After finishing their lunch, one by one, everyone went to meet the family who picked them up. Then, after making small talk for a while and saying goodbye or 'see you later,' it was only Kaylee and the others and the mentors going home by bus.

Since the number of people had started to drop considerably, and Kaylee's close friends had joined their families or taken the bus, Kaylee decided to return to her cottage.

Kaylee didn't rush up this time so she wouldn't be exhausted once she got to the top. Instead, she used her sweet time to take lots of scenic photos through her phone.

This place was lovely and filled with various kinds of flowers that only grow in winter. Ah, she also wants to take photos wearing women's clothes. She was sure that Roxanne would like it too.

But…

Kaylee sighed with resignation because she remembered that she didn't bring any women's clothes with her. She didn't know that she would be sleeping in a separate place, and neither did she expect that Declan would come to pick him up.

Plus, she already had enough luggage with her make-up kit and extra skin to make her cheeks a bit more masculine.

Kaylee had to settle for a photoshoot with her friends as 'Nicholas Larson.'

Many girls wanted to take pictures with her when the luncheon started, and Kaylee agreed to their request. Kaylee also invited her friend because she had experienced being ostracized. After all, her friends had envied her at the beginning of the semester.

Therefore, Kaylee invited Jacob and the others also to take a photo with the girls. While everyone was having fun taking pictures, then Kaylee quietly stepped aside and allowed her male friends to get close to the girls from the piano major and others.

After all, Kaylee was not fond of being love-interested from the same gender. And she never intended to flirt around those girls.

Well… Roxanne would love to flirt around handsome guys, but she knew… Declan wouldn't let her do it.

By the time Kaylee arrived at her cottage door, she felt a cold shiver run through her spines. Thinking someone was watching her from a distance like the creepy stalker did, Kaylee looked around to find out.

Why did she feel he was in danger? Wasn't it usually Roxanne who was very sensitive when something approached her with malicious intent? So why did she feel it now too?

Kaylee was grateful that it was still daytime so she could see her surroundings clearly. Her heart that had panicked and worried returned to calm after making sure that no one was stalking her.

Kaylee turned around once more to face the cottage door. Before she could hold the doorknob, the door was wide open, and her right hand was pulled so fast that her whole body moved inside.

What the…?

Kaylee was too speechless, not that she could talk now as a pair of full lips covered her entire mouth!
