The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?
Chapter 57 - Ch. 57 Shameless Cunning ManDeclan chose some baby blue and rose gold dresses for Kaylee to try on. That girl often shopped together with Wendy, but she was never with a man to pick her clothes. This was the first time she had experienced how a man was helping her choose clothes and telling her to try them on.
She felt her heart won't calm down every time she comes out of the fitting room to show Declan her new look. The man gave her a compliment that made her want to submerge her face in cold water to relieve her hot body temperature.
It seemed, in Declan's eyes, no matter what clothes Kaylee wore, that girl looked stunning that could steal every man's breath.
In the end, they took almost all of the clothes Declan had chosen for Kaylee. If Kaylee hadn't insisted on not taking them all, then Declan might have picked up all the dresses in this shop.
"Declan, this is too much."
"No, darling. There are still many things I want to give you."
"But..." we haven't officially dated yet. How could I accept these overwhelmed presents? Thought Kaylee silently.
No, that's not it. Only Kaylee thinks that way while the man seemed like already presumed that they are in a relationship.
Kaylee wanted to ask, but she didn't have the courage to hear the answer. What if it turns out that Declan already thinks of her as a lover? Doesn't that mean she's already attached to this man?
Kaylee still didn't know what she wanted, and she didn't know how she felt about Declan.
Declan had made it clear that the man wanted Kaylee to be his bride, and she knew she liked this man, but… were her feelings enough to make her want to be this man's wife?
While Kaylee lost in her own world, Declan caught something behind them, causing him to glance back. The corner of his eye had seen someone carrying a camera, but when he looked back, no one was carrying a camera.
Was it just his feelings, or was one of the paparazzi following Kaylee?
He just realized that now Kaylee's appearance and makeup belong to Roe's appearance, the famous pianist and song arranger.
"Kaylee, do you usually dress up as Roe when you go out?"
"No." although Kaylee was confused by their sudden change of topic, she answered calmly. "I will only appear as Roe during training or when I meet my client. On a normal day, I will dress up as myself."
"But now you are Roe, though."
Kaylee blinked a few times to digest the man's words. Her thoughts drifted back to several hours ago when Declan picked her up.
She remembered, as soon as she saw Declan sitting in the corner of the practice room, Kaylee quickly marched toward the man and took him out, making her gasp with horror as she covered her face with her hands.
"I forgot to remove my makeup." groaned Kaylee in a choked voice.
Declan chuckled at another expression of his beautiful lover. How many faces can a Kaylee Roe be able to put on? Why was the girl's every facial cast so captivating that Declan felt sure that no woman could ever steal his breath as Kaylee did?
"Is it possible you forgot to remove it because I picked you up?"
Kaylee's pair of black pearl eyes glistened at this. She pleads through her eyes to Declan with the utmost urgency not to tease her. Right now, she was bewildered and didn't know what to do.
No wonder why did she feel that many people were looking at her with curious eyes. People were starting to recognize her as the pianist Roe.
"Do you want to go home now?" offered Declan, noting that Kaylee looked so panicked she almost gave up.
Kaylee immediately nodded her head in agreement with the man's offer. If only she had the appearance of Kaylee, she wouldn't have to worry about lingering outside a little bit longer, nor would she care about the stares of those who always followed her away because Kaylee was a nobody.
Even though Kaylee was the Zouch family's daughter, no one knew what she looked like except for her school friends, and her parents were not people who like to appear on social media either.
As long as no one knew that Kaylee bears the name Zouch, no one would notice her even if she strolled through the shopping centers in this city.
Fortunately, not everyone is a fan of classical music, and not everyone knows Roe's face because Roe rarely appears in front of the camera.
There may be some who recognize Roe's face but feel doubtful. So far, Roe has never gone out to shop or appear in public, so their gaze targeted at Roe was curious.
They wondered if the girl who was dating a handsome man was Roe or if her face was similar to the gifted pianist.
"Come here,"
Like an obedient wife, Kaylee obeyed and let the man put on his oversized coat, making her snuggled into the man's arms.
The shameless cunning man couldn't hide his grin and took this golden opportunity to hold his lover in his arms. The innocent Kaylee couldn't think nor give a care about the man's hidden intention. She was busy hiding her face, and her finger clutched Declan's cloth tightly as if her life depended on it.
Kaylee could only breathe a sigh of relief when she got into Declan's car, and there weren't dozens of eyes to see her anymore. She touched her forehead and realized that she was breaking out in cold sweat.
She could also feel her heart pounding with fear and overly anxious to the point she found it hard to breathe. Kaylee never knew why she felt so frightened at the thought of so many people looking at her with probing eyes.
Did she do something wrong in the past? Why did she feel like she had done something unforgivable?
"Are you alright?" a deep, cello-like voice sounded very gentle next to her to the point it could get rid away all of her anxiety.
Kaylee turned to look at Declan, and she held her breath when she saw that the handsome man's face was looking at her worriedly while stroking one of her cheeks.
His big palm was warm, and also… her heart became more peaceful when she felt the soft touch on her face.
"Your face looks pale. Here, have a drink." Declan gave her a bottle of drink that he bought before returning to the car.
Kaylee accepted it and took a sip of the drink until the last drop.
"Is facing the public's gaze that scary?" Declan asked after Kaylee's expression improved, and the girl's body was no longer shaking. He even felt the skin of Kaylee's hands turn cold as he took the girl's hand.
Declan didn't know who was colder between his little lover's hands or those of his best friend.
It seemed like Kaylee was too afraid to be the center of attention of so many people. Moreover, since they entered one of the shopping malls, there have been many eyes watching Kaylee.
"I'm fine if people see me on stage. But… when I get off the stage, I don't know why… but I will get sick if a lot of strangers' eyes probed me."
"Forgive me. Next time I'll make sure you remove your makeup first, so you don't come out looking like Roe. "
Kaylee lowered her head, realizing that this man would undoubtedly ask her out… um… on another date.
"Why apologize? This is not your fault. I've been through this disease for a long time, so at least I'm used to it."
"No. Still my fault. I don't want my future bride to feel uncomfortable or suffer."
Ba-thump!
"Declan, I…" Kaylee couldn't find the words when Declan's thumb touched the corner of her lips.
The man's hand was gigantic on her tiny face, and now the big hand rested under her chin while his thumb runs down the curve of her lower lip. This movement made her unable to breathe, and there was a storm in her pounding heart.
The touch was very light but evoked 'something' in Kaylee that she never knew she had. Her body temperature was burning, and her breath turned into labor.
Kaylee felt herself no longer breathing when she saw Declan's face approaching her. Is that man going to kiss her? Is he...
"Kaylee, next time something makes you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away," stated Declan as he removed his hand from the girl's chin.
Kaylee's soul still hasn't returned to her body, and her brain is still in the process of analyzing what happened to her right now.
When she realized that Declan was not doing anything that could make her heart explode, Kaylee shifted her gaze to the front and answered the man's request.
"I... I will do it."
Declan smiled with satisfaction at this and started driving back to Kaylee's apartment.
Arriving in front of Kaylee's apartment, Declan got down to open the passenger door and help his girlfriend get out of the car.
"Thank you for today," said Kaylee politely. "I... I..."
"Yes?"
"When we had dinner the night before, you said I was your wife. But… I'm not your wife yet." Kaylee gulped nervously while lowering her head. "I don't even know our current relationship status. No, it's not that. I don't know how I feel myself. I…"
"…"
