Chapter 193 - Ch. 193 Roxanne Meets Louisa

Ignoring the lovers' act like the world belongs to them, Axelard distracted Louisa by asking her.

"Louisa, don't you feel cold? Wanna use my coat?" offered Axel.

Louisa straightened her back while masked her ugly expression and shook her head. "I don't feel cold."

Louisa took an empty bowl and poured it with soup before handing it to Declan. "Deck, don't you like this soup? Here."

Declan glanced at the bowl his friend gave him with a frown.

"No need. I'll take it myself. It's better if.…." Declan was about to return the bowl of soup to Louisa, but his little wife took the bowl instead.

"It looks yummy." without saying any further, Roxanne devoured the soup that Louisa gave her, making Declan look at her with interest.

Is Roxanne jealous of his friend? He didn't want to make his wife misunderstand, let alone feel jealous of his only female friend. But occasionally, seeing her being possessive like this wasn't bad either.

Roxanne enjoyed her meal, while Declan looked at her lovingly without regard to Louisa, who was now looking at them with a gaze filled with jealousy and hatred for the girl Declan was currently looking at.

She'd wanted to meet Kaylee Zouch for a long time and find out what she looked like. When she tried to create a misunderstanding between them by sending a picture of him hugging Declan, she also failed to do so.

For some reason, all the photos stored on the cameraman's computer she rented disappeared, and the images that had been printed and sent to Kaylee's house never reached the girl's hands.

If the photo reached Kaylee's hands, that girl would never sit around casually next to Declan. She should throw a tantrum and break their relationship.

Now that she had met face-to-face because Declan had finally agreed to her request to host this dinner, Louisa felt a slap in the face.

Kaylee Rosalie Zouch was indeed a beautiful girl, but everyone could see that she was prettier than Kaylee. She also has a sexier body than the girl. But why Declan only look at Kaylee?

Above all… "Axel,"

"Hm?"

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to cook today? If I had known you were cooking, I would have come earlier to help you. Besides, I can cook all of Declan's favorite dishes. How about you, Kaylee? Can you cook?"

Roxanne couldn't cook, but there's no way she'd admit it directly to the woman who was trying to steal her husband away!

"What is she cooking for?" before Roxanne could come up with a clever answer to Louisa's provocation, Declan had answered it first. "My wife's hands are too precious to work in the kitchen. We'll hire a chef when we get married."

Roxanne's heart melted hearing this and kissed Declan's cheek affectionately, making Louisa's heart heat up even more.

Isn't Kaylee Zouch a meek girl? Why was the reality so different from the rumors she had heard?

She tried to intimidate the girl by showing her curves that were sexier and more luscious than her. But Kaylee Zouch didn't feel inferior and continued to act normal as if she was just a stranger passing by.

When Louisa wanted to sow the seeds of doubt on Kaylee and declare that she was more worthy of being with Declan, the girl also seemed unconcerned.

Really… what happened?

Any girl will feel inferior and insecure when they see her body!

"Hubby, I want some ice cream."

"It's already late. Aren't you cold enough?"

"Nope. I want to eat the ice cream at the HW shop. Could you buy it for me?"

One of Declan's eyebrows shot up hearing that. Why did he feel that his wife was trying to kick him out of his own house?

"Come on, buy me some ice cream, okay? Hmm? Hmm?"

Declan sighed, then lowered his head to whisper to the girl.

"Be good while I'm not here."

A wide smile spread on her face at the man's whisper, and she gave him a nod once as if she wanted to reassure Declan that she would be a good girl.

Declan got up and put his arm around Axel's shoulder, who was chewing his food. "Come with me."

"Ha? Me too? Why?" Axel swallowed his food as soon as he received a death stare from Declan. "Fine." not daring to argue with his friend, Axel hastily got up without taking a sip and followed Declan out.

As soon as they exited the penthouse, Axel glanced at Declan in confusion.

"Are you sure you're leaving the two of them alone? You are not afraid that your house will become a battlefield."

"My house is her home too. If she wants to make it a battlefield, I can do nothing about it."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems you have been blinded by love."

"You'll feel it too once you find the one."

Axel shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Ah, looks like I won't be finding it any time soon. I'm enjoying my solitude more now. Ah, I forgot to give my sister a present."

"Sister? I didn't know you had a sister?"

"My uncle from England adopted a cute daughter. I already treat her like my own sister. Do you want to see it? She's adorable." Axelard showed Declan a photo.

"Hmm. She is. How old is she?"

"She'll be fourteen next month. I wonder if they managed to find it."

"..." Declan's steps stopped when he heard Axel's last words. He looked at his best friend suspiciously and asked in an icy voice. "What gift will you give to your adopted sister?"

"Oh, that. I meant to give her a painting of Patricia Lourence in…." Realizing his mistake, Axelard stopped his sentence.

"So… you had my confidant steal it!? That is a criminal act."

"Of course not. I'm not a thief. I just told them to persuade the owner."

"You mean to threaten him." Declan folded his arms in front of his chest.

"Persuade, not threaten." insisted Axel like a guilty child.

"You know very well Kris can never persuade people well. His persuasion always ends in a threat." Declan started to regret allowing his friend to borrow one of the best people in his company.

"That's why Aubrey with him." Axelard gave his innocent smile. "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Aren't we going to buy some ice cream? The sooner we come back, the better. Aren't you worried about your future wife?"

Declan massaged his temples in resignation. After all, Kris and Aubrey have gone somewhere Axel sent them, and they wouldn't be back soon.

"It's Louisa I'm worried about." after all… the girl is dealing with his vixen wife.
