After contemplating what to do, Lydia decided to walk to Brooklyn's main street, where the music performance was. She knew this street would be packed, especially since they all knew there would be a show from M university.
But she didn't expect the streets here were filled with a sea of people that made it difficult for her to walk. She didn't know where Kaylee or Wendy was. She also doubted the two of them would ever hear their phones ringing in a crowd like this.
At least she had come and kept her promise to Wendy. So she didn't need to show face to the two of them.
Lydia decided to go home, but…
"This is the last time. I will see him play music one last time." after muttering to herself, Lydia decided to join the other patrons for a show.
Lydia could see a stage filled with various kinds of musical instruments. She could even see Nick's favorite marron guitar. But… she couldn't see a single one on the stage.
Where's Nick? Where are the rest of Nick's music team?
Lydia looked at the clock, which showed that there were still fifteen minutes before the show started. In the end, Lydia decided to try to break through the crowd to get closer to the stage so she could get a better look at Nick.
Kaylee and Declan had just arrived not long after her and were both far behind the crowd.
"Oh my, can we break through this mob?"
"That's not the real question," Declan said without answering Kaylee's question.
"If not?"
"Should we watch the show?" Declan would rather see Kaylee or Roxanne playing the piano than see the music of teenagers like Nick.
"You don't want to support your sister?"
"..." Of course, he wanted to support his sister. But he couldn't contain his jealousy because Kaylee cheered other guys than him. Plus, in the music team, there is also his nephew, Jacob.
"Come on. I want to hear my friends' performances." Kaylee coaxed as she winked cutely and tugged on the man's arm.
Declan could only sigh in resignation and walk ahead of his wife to create the way. His body was so much bigger and more powerful that he could easily break through the sea of people that surrounded them.
As they reached the middle of the sea of people, Declan felt his hand holding Kaylee being held back, causing the man to turn his head towards his wife.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to see them in the front row?"
"I do. But, isn't that Lydia?" Kaylee pointed to the side where a cute girl who had her hair pulled into a cute bun was standing uncomfortably.
Declan had never met Lydia before, but if his wife meant the young girl who had been with Wendy and his wife, Declan could confirm that it was the same girl.
"I don't know who Lydia is."
"Lydia is my make-up artist. You met her when you picked me up in front of the shop."
"Ah, so it's her."
Kaylee smiled widely, and spontaneously she called the young girl's name in a loud voice, startling Declan and the others.
Declan chuckled, amused at his wife's behavior, who completely ignored the strange stares of the people around her.
"LYDIA!!"
After calling the girl over and over, she finally turned to look at the thick-face caller. Her pair of brown eyes filled with relief, and she walked over to the lovebird trudging through this crowd of people.
"Miss Kaylee. I'm so glad I meet you."
Kaylee chuckled at that. She could understand that a lone girl who had no one would be confused in this crowd of people.
"Then you are lucky I see you coincidentally. But, you look fabulous. Wendy's choice of clothes is perfect for you."
A blush graced Lydia's face as she lowered her head shyly.
"You can be as pretty as this, but why don't you ever doll yourself up?"
"I prefer dressing other people, miss Kaylee. I can't see my work in myself, but I can see it in other people."
"You're too humble." Kaylee put her arm around Lydia's arm, ignoring Declan, who was once again frowning.
Seriously. When Kaylee asked him out today, Declan had no idea they were going on a double date with Kaylee's best friend. And now that he's taken the opportunity to separate the two, they've found a lost puppy instead.
When can he be alone with his wife?
"Since I've found you, how about you just come with us?"
"Eh? Am I not intruding?"
"…" Yes, you are! Declan wants to answer it, but his wife beats him to it.
"Absolutely not. We're glad to see you here. Isn't that right, Declan?"
"..." Declan didn't answer and just gave a small polite smile toward the girls.
It seemed he needed to punish this wife.
When he saw Lydia was shifting his gaze in another direction, Declan lowered his head only to whisper at his wife.
"Roxy, if you keep it going, don't blame me if I wouldn't let you go tonight."
Roxanne felt her whole body shudder in horror at Declan's threatening tone. How did that guy know she was Roxanne?
The girl turned to Declan with an innocent look as if she didn't understand what the man was saying.
"What are you talking about? I'm Kaylee, Declan."
"I know you're not. You can't fool me, love." Declan brushed his nose against hers, inviting a cute giggle from the girl.
"Since when did you know?"
"When you call the girl out loud. Kaylee wouldn't be able to scream that loud."
"Tsk. How could you make it so effortless to notice my changes? You're so annoying."
"I'm annoyingly mad in love with you."
Roxanne gave a slight punch on his shoulders and let Declan hug her tightly.
What a possessive man! The man could never stand being away from her, and he would be in a bad mood once she stood away.. Roxanne could only surrender because she has fallen in love with a man like this possessive man.
