Chapter 235 - Ch. 235 Frontier Shadow

The following day, Roxy woke up feeling very airy and carefree. Even though 'Kaylee' was no longer accompanying her in the soul, she believed she could face any obstacle.

The only thing left was… her mother.

For the past few days, she hadn't dared to go home since she couldn't communicate with 'Kaylee.' She only received her mother's call, and even then, she only said a word or two before hanging up her phone.

Roxy got up and straightened her body with lowered eyes. Her fingers squeezed the blanket carelessly as she thought about what she would do next.

She was too lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize Declan had entered the room.

"Are you awake?"

Roxy looked up and smiled at the man very sweetly. "Good morning, hubby."

Declan smiled amusedly as he walked over to her to give her a good morning kiss on the forehead. "Morning, wifey. Let's go back before others arrive."

"Okay. But why do you have panda eyes? You didn't sleep?" Declan didn't have time to answer the question, Roxy continued her sentence. "Is it because of me?"

"Are you testing my limits?"

"It depends on whether you dare to cross your limits or not."

Declan narrowed his eyes at his lover with a mischievous look. "You dare to be like this because you know I won't do it here."

Roxy couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I'm smart, aren't I?"

"Hhhh… luckily, I have mentally prepared myself beforehand."

"Ha?"

"Falling in love with a woman like you who has unlimited naughty ideas, I have to mentally prepare myself if I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Roxy giggled as she opened her arms wide as if asking for a hug, and Declan was more than happy to give what she wanted.

Roxy breathed a sigh of relief while being in the man's arms made her heart fill with peace.

Everything will be fine. She must be able to face the past and start a new chapter in life. That was what she repeated in her heart as if she wanted to hypnotize herself.

"Did something happen?" as usual, Declan could always sense the hidden uneasiness from his wife and guessed that something was bothering Roxy. "Did you have a bad dream?"

Roxy shook her head, "She's gone." muttered her in a very low voice. "Kaylee is gone… she said she was no longer needed."

"I see." Declan patted Roxy's back gently and tightened his embrace. "Don't be sad. She may not exist anymore, but she is you, which means she hasn't completely disappeared."

"…"

"As long as you remember it and embrace your moment with someone, that someone will stay in your heart."

Roxy smiled, amused at the man's words. Why did he say the same as Kaylee? Do they have one mind?

"She said the same thing with you. Hhhh…" Roxy took a deep breath. "Why do I feel like you two are planning something behind my back?"

"We're not."

"Then, explain the USB."

"What USB?" he had forgotten the rose USB he took from the trash bin.

"My USB. I threw it at the cottage. But she said she saw you took it."

"Ah… that USB. Your mother gave it to me. Of course, I'll keep it."

"..." this man. "Never mind. Anyway, are you unable to sleep because of me? You have dark circles in your eyes." Roxy touched Declan's eye socket with her finger.

"I was careless. Just now, I was tricked and lured into buying an expensive product, but in fact, I don't really need it."

"Ha? What thing?"

"Aren't you feeling hungry? There is no food in this place, and it takes half an hour to reach the city. Let's go home now."

Despite being confused by Declan's multiple-meaning sentence, Roxy complied and let Declan hold her hand. The two of them walked towards the car, and not long after, their car drove away from the location.

On the ride home, they passed a freight car with many men wearing yellow helmets behind them.

"Are they the workers?"

"I guess so," Declan replied curtly. "What do you want to eat?"

"Anything is fine. But aren't you sleepy? Do you want to rest first?"

"I'm fine. I'm used to not sleeping for days."

"If you say so. But let me know if you want to take a rest. I'll drive."

Declan turned to his wife in surprise. "You can drive?"

"Of course. Do you think I'm a spoiled girl who needs a chauffeur?"

Declan chuckled at that. "I've never seen you drive, and besides, you rarely drive your car."

"That's because you often come to pick me up. Ah, I haven't brought a car since I became Nick to college. Every day I have to get up early to change my appearance so that I will feel sleepy. I choose to take the subway or taxi when I go to campus."

Declan smiled as he listened attentively to Roxy's story. One of his favorites was hearing her tell a long story like this. Her voice was like music to his ears, and sometimes he got to know her better through her stories.

But his mind couldn't get rid of the conversation he had with Nick last night.

If what Nick said was true, then Roxy wouldn't know about Frontier Shadow, let alone about her sister, who was its leader.

But…

"Roxy, have you heard of Frontier Shadow?"

"Frontier Shadow? Not really. What's that? Is it the company name?"

"…" As expected, Roxy didn't know it. He also doubted that Mr. Zouch knows it.

Even though Mr. Zouch wasn't the eldest, but he wasn't the youngest either.

'All members of Frontier Shadow are the youngest children. If you don't believe me, you can seek Pierre Zouch, a doctor in Spain and the youngest brother of Kaylee's father.'

Hhhh… Now he understands his father's worries.

'Are you sure you want to get involved with the Zouch family? Their family is not as simple as we think.' That was the warning from his father before they announced their engagement.

Declan looked at his smiling wifey with a loving look and wide smile.

Nevertheless, he didn't regret his decision.
