As soon as the door closing sound was heard, Roxanne no longer made a friendly face towards Louisa. Vice versa, Louisa took off her mask and looked at Roxanne as if she were looking at her enemy.
"So this is how your real face looks like? It's terrible. No wonder you always wear a mask all the ti."
"Hmph! Aren't you the sa? You give everyone the impression that you are a ek and reserved girl. But who would have thought you are a shaless wild girl."
"It's all thanks to Declan's teachings."
Louisa glared in disbelief at Roxanne's response. In addition, Roxanne still had a broad smile filled with very high self-confidence.
"What do you an thanks to Declan's teachings? Are you insulting him?"
"Huh? Why do you think I'm insulting him? I wonder, what is Declan like in your eyes?"
"How could you not know? Aren't you his girlfriend? How can you not know what Declan looks like in everyone's eyes?"
"Hmm… I don't know. How about you?" Roxanne put her innocent confused-like facade to trick the woman, and it works. Louisa answered without resistance.
"Declan is not easy to approach and always gives off a cold aura to strangers. But when he is with his close friends or with his family, he becos a warm and loving person. He is a wise man, calm, and always makes the right decisions."
"Pft!" Roxanne could barely contain her laughter at that.
"Why are you laughing? I knew it. You don't know him that well, and you still feel you deserve to be with him."
"My lady. It's you who don't know him well. Yes, he is a calm person and always puts on a cold aura to strangers. And yes, he will turn warm when he is with the people closest to him. But… he still has a side that no one else knows about."
"What is that?"
"Why would I tell you? It's enough if only I know about it."
Louisa bit her lower lip in annoyance before she flashed a crooked smile at Roxanne.
"Are you sure he's the person you've seen all this ti? How can you be sure he won't betray you one day?"
"Miss Dunst, I know what you want to talk about. Please mind your own business unless you wanted to say to Declan that I don't like you."
"What's the use of you telling him?"
"Are you blind? Declan will grant all my wishes. If I tell him I don't want him to see you again, he'll cut you off straight away." her provocation earning a death glare from the other won.
"You! He won't do it."
"Wanna bet with ?"
"You have no idea how close the two of us are. Declan and I have known each other for over ten years. I know all his favorite foods, his allergies and also I can cook for him. He even complinted my cooking and gave a warm hug. Now, let ask you this. Do you know what he fears the most?"
"…"
"You say you know a side of him that no one else knows, but I also know what he most wants to hide from the world. Did he ever tell you about him fleeing to Spain?"
Spain?
"You weren't his first love, Miss Zouch. He t his first love there, and once his first love returns, I'm sure he will leave you."
First love? Which one? She also t Declan in Spain many years ago.
"I heard that his first love was the one who made him want to live again. I also heard that his first love was a pianist who always played a song for him to wake him up from his coma."
Ba-thump! Roxanne felt her heart rumble hearing this.
"The fact that he's in love with you now... don't you think that you were only a substitute?" Louisa's evil smirk widened, noticing the girl across her beca silent as hell. "He doesn't really love you. He only sees you as a substitute for his first love because you are a pianist too."
Roxanne's hands that were on her lap tightly clenched hearing this. Right now, her heart was shaking violently as if a storm was trying to destroy her sanity.
But she still masked her facial expression. She wouldn't show her weak side in front of this flirtatious woman. Not only this woman, but she also would never show her weakness to the outsider.
"Substitute? I am not a substitute, and even if I am a substitute, the reality is that I am standing by his side, and not you."
"…" Why? Why couldn't she grow a seed of doubt in this woman's heart? Louisa wanted to scream and scratch this girl's face so that Declan would look at his already ugly fiancé in disgust.
"Miss Dunst. I know you want to take my husband from . But I tell you, I won't let him go. As long as Declan wants to be with him, I will stay by his side, and he is mine. So…" Roxanne placed her hands on the dining table and leaned closer to the woman. "Dress politely in front of my husband. This place is Declan's house, and that ans this place is my territory. Please dress modestly here."
"You're not even married to him. How dare you claim this place is your territory?"
"He's asked to live with him."
Louisa gasped in disbelief when she heard Roxanne's short answer. The two of them have lived together? So… they slept together?
Roxanne could guess what Louisa was thinking. The woman must have thought she had lived here and slept with Declan.
It was true that Declan had asked her to live with him, but Roxanne put it off and decided to stay at her parents' house or stay at Wendy's.
As for sleeping together… well, they did sleep together, but they just slept without doing anything. They never went all the way despite Declan penetrate her with his thick fingers or devour her secret garden.
Even so, Roxanne had no interest in correcting the misunderstanding that was in Louisa's mind.
"If you understand, I can lend you my clothes right now. If you still don't want to change, you'd better leave right now."
"You kicked out?"
"That's right. I kicked you out. What can you do? You think Declan will defend you?"
Even if Declan defended Louisa, that's fine too. It only ant that Declan loves her a little, and she is more than glad to break up with that man!
