When they arrived at Declan's penthouse, they smelled a fragrant aroma coming from the kitchen, making Roxanne wonder.
"Has anyone come yet?" Roxanne immediately looked inside to look for someone, but since it seemed that the person she was looking for was still in the kitchen, she couldn't find anyone.
"It's…"
"Hey, you came right on time." a deep baritone voice sounded from within.
Not long after, a young man appeared with all his glory accompanied by a charming smile that made Roxanne froze for a moment.
The young man had unusual platinum hair and extremely beautiful ocean-like blue eyes. She had often met blue-eyed lads like Jacob or Diego Regnz, a twenty-year-old boy who was still in college and the successor to the Flex group, which was the top three in the business world.
But she had never met someone who had the most beautiful blue eyes like this person!
Plus, this man's skin was as white as snow, and his lips were as red as rubies. She was absolutely sure no woman would not fall in love with this young man as soon as they saw the man's smile.
This person… this person… so attractive! No. Attractive is an understatement, and she couldn't find an accurate word to describe this handsome man.
If only his hair were black, this guy would be the male version of snow-white!
Roxanne didn't know how long she stared at the young man longer than she should have that Declan had to clear his throat a few times to get his wife's attention.
"Are you satisfied?"
Roxanne scratched the nape of her neck awkwardly while turning her attention towards the sofa without glancing back at the handsome guy or Declan.
The sound of a crisp laugh that escaped from the most handsome man in this place made Roxanne even more unable to look at the man.
"Declan, I never knew you could act jealous like that? Miss, you have nothing to be ashamed of. This guy also reacted the same way when he met me for the first time."
"Hey," protested Declan.
"You also said that you love me, remember?"
The platinum-haired youth's words caught Roxanne's attention and immediately glanced at Declan with a raised eyebrow.
Declan realized what his wife was thinking, and he quickly explained so that she wouldn't misunderstand. "Not what you think. I'm a straight guy," he said sternly, then glanced at his friend in annoyance. "Why did you make her misunderstand?"
Axelard laughed and walked over to them.
"Nice to meet you, miss. My name's Axelard Cavendish, but you can call me Axel or Axe."
"..." Roxanne felt like she couldn't find her voice, so she just took the man's hand in silence.
Wow… his hands were even white and soft as snow! Is this person even a human??
After feeling the two of them shake hands for a long time, Declan took his wife's hand back and pulled it out of Axelard's grip making his annoying friend laugh amused.
"You guys wait here first. I'll be done soon." Axel returned to the kitchen to continue his cooking activities.
Roxanne and Declan sat on the sofa, with Declan looking at his wife suspiciously.
"This is the first time I've seen you speechless. If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were Kaylee."
Roxanne turned to the side, avoiding Declan's eagle-like gaze. She seemed to be avoiding the man, but she was secretly trying to hold back her amused smile.
"Is he so handsome that you are voiceless? Didn't you say you wouldn't glance at other men even if someone were more handsome than me?" Declan sulked like an outcast child as he wrapped his arms around his wife's waist.
"Are you really fascinated by him?"
Roxanne couldn't hold back her amusement and turned to kiss Declan lightly.
"I admit, I didn't expect you to have a friend like that person. But… I still choose you."
"Why?"
"Because there is only me in your eyes and only you who accept me as I am and love me completely. I prefer to be loved and love a guy who loves me back." Roxanne brushed his nose with hers and ended it with a kiss on Declan's lips. "Hubby, don't be mad, okay? You never told me your best friend is super duper handsome that words can't describe."
"…" she still dares to praise another man right in front of his nose!? This vixen girl…
"It was your fault, so I wasn't mentally prepared."
"…" who should prepare mentally before meeting a new person?? "Roxy,"
Roxanne skipped a beat when she heard Declan's desperate tone as if the man was desperate to make her turn to him.
"I'm just teasing you. Don't give me that look." Roxanne kissed all over Declan's face in a sweet and soft kiss as if to make sure she would never leave his side.
But when she realized Axelard had arrived in the dining room while setting the dishes, Roxanne quickly stood up with a cherry-red face. The man even smiled amusedly while shaking his head, seeing their intimacy making Roxanne wanted to dig a hole.
Gosh!! She didn't know Axelard had come out of the kitchen and seen her kissing Declan's face! She wanted to run away.
"I… I'll be back." Roxanne decided to hide in the bathroom for a while without noticing a lopsided smile on Declan's face.
Declan got up and walked over to Axel to help the man with the cooking with a big smile.
"You're so sly, Declan. You pretended to be desperate so that she couldn't help but regard you. I know you weren't outraged when she was fascinated by me."
"The important thing is that she's looking back at me. Even though you're my best friend, I don't like seeing her watching you."
"Then why did you invite me here?"
"Aren't you the one who keeps bothering me to meet her?"
"I am your brother. Of course, I want to know what my future sister-in-law will look like."
"Tsk. What brother?" Declan glanced at his watch and realized the others weren't here yet. "Louisa and the others haven't arrived yet?"
"Louisa said she would be late. As for Kris and Aubrey…" Axelard seemed hesitant to tell him, making Declan look at him suspiciously as he folded his arms across his chest.
"Don't tell me you used them again."
Axelard gave him the most innocent smile he has. "This is the last time. After all, I already cooked dinner tonight. Wouldn't it be fine if I borrowed them?"
"No one told you to cook. You offered yourself."
"You're the best man I've ever met. I love you."
"…" What is this guy talking about?
"You… Why do I feel like I am the third wheel in your relationship?"
Declan couldn't believe his friend put another show in front of his little wife.
Really... he could never win this guy.
