Chapter 173 - Ch. 173 Does She Start A War?

Nicholas returned home after dropping Lydia home. Ever since he found out Lydia wasn't that mysterious girl, Nick was back to being normal, and so was Lydia.

They talked about trivial things, and occasionally Nick would tease her and tempt her. Of course, he got the same scolding from the girl, but Nick was relieved to see the girl was cheerful again.

As soon as he opened the door to his house, he heard his sister's booming voice.

"I won't let you take him! When we moved to New York, I told you not to involve Nick. Now you need him to help my father, and you want him back? What do you think of my brother, huh?!"

Nick smiled widely at the anger of his sister, who defended him. He walked over to his sister and poked his sister's shoulder lightly.

Wendy turned to him with a surprised look as she didn't hear his arrival.

"I don't care. Nick won't be back there. End of discussion." Wendy hangs up the call and walks to the kitchen to heat the food. "Have you eaten?"

"Of course I have. I ate with Lydia."

Wendy smiled, amused hearing her brother's cheery tone. "Don't tell me you like her for good now."

"I do like her. I like all cute girls."

Wendy shook her head resignedly while brewing tea.

"Wendy, regarding the elders' decision…."

"Stop it. I know you don't want to go back."

"No. I'm not saying that. I was just wondering when did you find out about the decision of those who wanted us back?"

"Just now. They've been calling me all day, but I'm still at the office, so… I'm only answering their calls now."

"Don't you want to go home?"

"You want to go home?"

"I have no idea."

"I thought you like living with your group mates. Isn't that why you accepted the contract offer with the entertainment party."

"I do like it, but…."

"If you think about my situation, then don't. I'll be fine."

A toothy grin was plastered on his handsome young face. "I know I can count on you. But they won't give up."

"They should also know we won't give up so easily either. Ah, by the way, mother just called me. She wants to know if we're going back to Larson's or not."

Nick sighed as if a heavyweight had fallen on him. "I struggled to get a month's vacation from my manager. But someone took Kaylee from me instead. What can I do? It looks like we have to go back to Larson's."

"Okay. I'll tell her about our return. But… what if this is a trap?"

"Trap?"

"We've lived with Larson for ten years. Do you think our father will send someone to threaten Larson or…"

"Wendy, you're too paranoid. Our father would never touch Larson. It's like asking for death."

"He wouldn't, right? I'll book a ticket now."

Nick sipped his tea while contemplating the moment when he was only nine years old. At that time, his father sent him and his sister to North America at Hades' request.

Little Nick couldn't speak the common language and was worried about moving and living in a foreign place. But it was Wendy who persuaded him and gave him courage.

"It's okay. I will accompany you, and we could see Kaylee again."

"Why do we have to move? Why not just stay here?" Nicholas's eyes were like a poor puppy whose master had just dumped.

"Master Hades said he wanted to give Kaylee a new life. Plus, Kaylee has lost almost everything and only remembers the two of us as friends. And it was no longer safe staying here. Besides, didn't you make a promise to Roxy?"

"…"

"Didn't you promise Roxy to look after and protect Kaylee in her place? Now Roxy is gone, and Kaylee needs someone to replace Roxy. It's time to keep our promise to Roxy, don't you think?"

In the end, Nick and Wendy moved to New York and lived with the Larsons by changing their real names. They moved one year earlier than the Hades family to study the common language there.

After that, they were reunited with Kaylee and Hades, now better known as Mister Zouch.

Mister Zouch thought that no one would recognize his daughter as Roxanne by hiding his daughter for a year. And when they moved to New York and met the Larsons for the first time, Nick didn't recognize the difference.

Nick thought the beautiful sister in front of him was indeed Kaylee because Roxanne would never want to wear polite clothes as Kaylee did.

Little did they know, Wendy immediately recognized her best friend. She immediately knew that the Kaylee she met at that time was Roxanne, and yet she kept the truth hidden.

After two years of college with her best friend and felt sure that Kaylee is Roxanne, Wendy came to Zouch's house to find out the truth.

She wanted to know why Roxanne was alive while Kaylee was on the plane when the accident happened. If it turned out to be Kaylee who was on the plane, why did the death announcement show Roxanne's name?

It was only from her conversation with Mister Zouch that she knew the reason why Roxanne had lost her memory. She just found out why Roxanne's character changed and became the same as Kaylee to trick everyone.

They all thought that the one who was still alive was Kaylee because she was quiet, innocent, and also highly compliant.

But… who would have thought? It turns out that Roxanne created a second individual in her.

"Sister? Wendy!"

Wendy gasped in surprise when she heard her brother calling her loudly.

"I thought you're booking a ticket for us, but why are you daydreaming?"

"Oh, it's full. It looks like we'll have to wait after the Christmas day."

"Fine with me."

Ting!

Both of them heard a notification sound from Wendy's phone. The happy face and dreamy smile on Wendy's made Nick curious and snatched his sister's phone from her hand.

"Hey! Give me that!"

Nick glanced briefly, and as soon as he saw something, his brow furrowed. "What? You have another online dating schedule? What about Robert?"

Without answering her brother, Wendy grabbed her phone back and walked to her room.

"Has she started a war again?"

Usually, if his sister is desperately looking for a date, it means Wendy wants to break up with her current boyfriend.
