The two of them arrived at one of the restaurants near Declan's house area, and both imdiately ordered food according to their tastes. After ordering the al, Roxy looked at Declan with great curiosity.
"So, who managed to trick you?"
"Hmm?"
"Didn't you say earlier that soone tricked you into buying sothing you didn't need?"
"Oh, that. He…" Declan couldn't finish his words because Roxy had continued her sentence.
"I wonder what kind of person managed to trick you. I never think anyone will be able to trick you, let alone makes you interested in buying sothing. What kind of stuff did you buy?"
Declan smiled, amused hearing that. "I might do it if it relates to you."
"Ha?"
"If soone kidnaps you and demands a payoff from , even all my assets in this country, I will give him."
Roxy rolled her eyes at that. "How could anyone dare to kidnap ? Before they touch , they will run away as soon as they see you."
"I'm flattered, Miss Zouch. That ans you have entrusted your life to ."
"I have put my full trust in you, Mr. Black."
Declan smiled faintly as he gave his wife a light pinch on the chin.
"So who is it? Don't dodge my question." Roxy protested because she didn't get the answer she wanted.
"I wanted to answer you, but you interrupted first."
"Ah… hehe." Roxy wrapped her arms around Declan's arm while smiling sweetly. "Forgive . I won't interrupt again. So who is it?"
"Why are you so curious about the person?"
"Tsk. If you don't want to tell , just say so." Roxy let go of her embrace and reached for her drink with a frown.
"It was Nicholas Larson."
Roxy turned to Declan when she heard her friend's brother's na being called. "Nico? What did he sell? Isn't he a musician?"
"Do you know that your friend will return to the south today?"
"What? Why?"
"It seems their father wanted them back."
"…" so that's why Hades IV was in front of Wendy's house last night. The man ca to the north to pick up his two children.
Roxy took out her phone in her bag to see if there was a new ssage. She couldn't believe Wendy would leave this country without telling her.
And as she expected, Wendy did call her repeatedly last night, but she didn't know it. In the end, Wendy sent her a pretty long text.
'Kaylee, I'm going away for a while with my brother. I don't know when we'll be back because suddenly we have family matters to attend to.
Please don't bla because I can't et you in person to say our goodbyes. My father ca ho uninvited, and I had to go with him.
You've t with Mr. Black, and I am sure that you will find your happiness with him. I won't worry about you anymore because I'm sure your life will be cloudless in the future.
But, I'm worried about your cousin. I'm pretty sure he'll catch up with as soon as he finds out I'm ho. Can I ask you a favor?
Whatever happens, don't let him catch up with . Please. Let's just say I'm indebted to you. I'll pay for it when the opportunity arises.
PS: Even if I'm not there, don't ever feel left out. This ssage is for your other side.'
Roxy looked at the ssage with a gloomy look. She took a deep breath and let Declan also read the ssage's contents from her best friend.
"She knows about you too?"
Roxy nodded weakly. "Sotis, I wake up in the middle of the night and need a friend. She recognized as Roxy the first ti she t in New York. So, I always call her every ti I show up."
"Let guess. You drank with her."
Roxy smiled faintly hearing that. "How did you know?"
"My wife's tolerance was high enough as if she had practiced it for a long ti. I don't think I can drink with you."
"Why? Are you afraid that I will take advantage of you?"
"Of course not. What is in is yours."
"…" here he is… how can there be soone so thick-faced like Declan? "I wanted to call her, but if I did, she would get worried."
"They'll be fine."
"I know. But… looks like I have to go back to college as Nick."
"…"
"Nick is in the South anyway. Ah, did he tell the Adams manager? I hope their popularity won't decrease because Nick isn't around. What do you think?"
"What?"
"About the popularity of the Adams. Nicholas was their group leader, after all."
"In my opinion, you worry too much about other people's business. Also, why did you have to go back to campus? These two siblings really could not leave us in peace."
Roxy laughed, amused at the protest tone of her lover. "They had helped a lot when I needed soone. At least helping Nick finish his studies smoothly isn't difficult for ."
"That's not the problem. Your friend asked you to take care of Robert, while her brother asked to take care of his girlfriend. Both siblings are troubleso."
Roxy looked at Declan with a confused look while trying to digest the man's words.
Nick asked Declan to take care of his girlfriend? Nick has a girlfriend? Who? Since when?
And why did the boy ask Declan instead of her? Why would Declan be willing to help Nick?
Many questions filled her brain, and she wanted to find answers quickly. But before she had ti to ask, their food had arrived.
Nevertheless, Roxy kept asking.
"Who?"
"Nicholas," Declan replied while shifting Roxy's plate of food in front of the girl.
"I an, who is his girlfriend? Since when has he been dating?"
"Seems like recently. Here, eat a little." Declan fed Roxy calmly and makes sure the girl finished her al.
"Why did he ask for your help? Why didn't he call ?"
"How should I know? Maybe because he thinks you're Kaylee and doesn't want to involve you."
"By involving you instead."
"He's wise."
"What?"
"He knows that I'm the only one who can help him right now, so he reached ."
"Ha? I don't understand."
Declan smiled faintly as he stroked the back of her head gently. "Eat first. This is not the right place to talk."
Roxy glanced around and realized that this place was very crowded, and many ears could hear them.
Even though the odds were slim, Roxy understood Declan didn't want to risk soone paying attention to their conversation.
