The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!? - Chapter 216
Moments ago, when Lydia decided to accept Nick, Lydia’s phone received a message addressed to Nick. And the message was an instruction for Nick to find Declan Black.
Nick wondered why he should find the man as Declan was one of your ordinary citizens who entangled with Hades III’s second daughter without knowing it.
What is the use he seeks for Declan? What could the man do to help him against his father… against Hades IV?
“Why do your acquaintance tell you to look for Mr. Black?”
“Beats me. Either my acquaintance is crazy, or it’s a trap. Let me see your phone.”
Lydia handed the phone to Nick as if he were the one who owned it.
Nick pulled a slide from top to bottom when he noticed something. Someone has hacked Lydia’s phone, and he already knows who did it. It wasn’t long before he saw that an app had been installed without the owner’s permission, and it was showing someone’s location.
But… why the dot’s name is…
“Kaylee? Oh, right. Isn’t Mr. Black always be with her?” wherever Kaylee is, so is Declan.
That man was too possessive and liked to monopolize the girl.
“It seemed it’s not a trap.” Hades IV would never touch Kaylee with his own hand per the agreement.
Lydia glanced at Nick with a dull look. Alas, Nick didn’t notice her gloomy face and only focused on her phone to find out more about Kaylee’s location.
“…” Didn’t this young man get irritated when Lydia mentioned Kaylee’s name? Why did Nick mention her himself?
Nick didn’t know what his girlfriend was thinking as he was too busy digging into his memory about Mifune restaurant. He wondered why this restaurant’s name ring a bell in his head.
Oh, right! Didn’t Leticia Campbell invite her friends to celebrate her birthday at Mifune dining? Could it be Kaylee also come in disguise?
That’s not possible. Declan wasn’t going to let Kaylee come in looking like a teenage boy. Ever since Declan found out that Kaylee had disguised herself as Nick and had come to college, the man had monopolized Kaylee. Furthermore, Declan ordered him to appear as a member of the band at these winter vacation events.
Plus, if his acquaintances sent Kaylee’s position to him, wouldn’t that mean Declan was with the girl?
But… how did Letti get to know Kaylee? That was something that he couldn’t comprehend.
Nick decided to wait after Letti’s birthday party was over. He didn’t want to take the risk of coming if it turned out that Kaylee was there while looking like him.
Above all, he could be alone with Lydia longer before his father found him. He wouldn’t waste his precious time with his new girlfriend.
Nick returned Lydia’s phone and just realized the girl’s scornful gaze was on him.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Lydia looked away and walked back into the kitchen to wash the dirty dishes. Nick was confused and followed the girl to help her, but Lydia kicked him out instead.
“Go away.”
“Let me help you,” Nick offered without giving up.
“I don’t need it. Go.” Lydia pushed him aside as if she didn’t want to see his face.
Nick walked behind Lydia and wrapped his arms around her waist to give her a back hug. He didn’t know his sudden embrace made Lydia almost take her plate out of her hands, and her heart had stopped beating!
“Lydia, why are you mad at me? I did nothing to deserve your distant manner.”
“…” it’s warm, and… Lydia doesn’t know the right words to describe her feelings right now.
She felt she could see the fireflies above her head, and a pleasantly refreshing scent assaults her nostril.
Good heaven! She never thought that one day she would be in this young man’s arms!
She knew she would be as she is now his girlfriend, but she thought she had to wait due to this young man’s unusual situation.
“I… ehem…” Lydia didn’t know why her throat went dry as if she hadn’t drunk in days. “I’m not mad.” luckily, she could say it in an even tone as if she had never been irritated.
Well, she was no longer annoyed at this point. Ever since Nick hugged her gently, Lydia felt like all her irritation was gone.
“Liar. Then why are you ignoring me just now?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“You did.”
“I didn’t.”
“Fine, if you say so.” Nick tightened his arms, and settled his chin on her shoulder, causing Lydia to screech in surprise. “Oh, you have a cute voice.”
Luckily Nick was standing behind her. Otherwise, the young man would have been able to see the embarrassing look on her face by now.
With great effort and while controlling her heartbeat, Lydia managed to complete her task. She had soaped and rinsed the dirty dishes clean and placed them on the plate holders.
But… how long will Nick hold her like this? She couldn’t even budge from her spot!
“Uhm… how long are you going to hug me? I’m done.”
“Hmm? I don’t wanna go.”
“I’m tired. We can just sit on the chairs and watch a movie if you want.”
“That’s a good idea. But what I meant, I don’t wanna leave.”
“Then, just stay.”
“Can I stay here?”
“…” why did Lydia feel like they were talking about two different things? Her suspicions grew stronger when she saw the expectant gaze of this young man. “Don’t dare to even think about it!” warned Lydia by tilting her head slightly to see Nick’s now frowning expression.
“I don’t care. I want to be with you.”
Lydia sighed in resignation. “Really. What forced you to leave? I don’t think you’re someone who likes to be forced by people.”
Nick let go of his arm and stepped back, causing Lydia to turn and wince in confusion. Why did the young man suddenly look serious now?
“It’s Declan Black.”
“Ha?”
“That’s why she wanted me to look for him. But… how did she know? Could it be… Mr. Zouch took advantage of this arranged marriage knowing that Declan Black had ‘that’?
“Ha?” what exactly is this guy talking about? “Nick?”
“I have to go.” Nick walked out of the kitchen and marched with vast strides to get out of Lydia’s house.
Luckily Lydia reacted quickly and grabbed the young man’s hand with all her might. She didn’t know why, but she felt she wouldn’t be able to meet Nick if they parted now.
“I’ll go with you.”
“…” Nick’s eyes went wide because he didn’t expect the girl to be willing to follow him. His gaze was filled with mischief, and he wanted to tease the girl. “Lydia, how did you do that?”
“Did what?”
“I never knew you loved me so much. You hide your feelings much better than me.”
“…” Lydia became speechless hearing this. Her irritation increased when she saw his mischief grin. “That’s right. I like you too much that it hurts me. I know you are never serious and like to flirt here and there to the point I lost count. I buried it deep and didn’t want to take it out. I can’t even stop myself from comparing all the men I’ve dated with you.”
“…”
“Ever since I first met you at Miss Kaylee’s house, I thought, ‘what a charming smile this boy had.’ Every time I come to Miss Wendy’s house, my eyes were always looking for you, and without me knowing, I have liked you beyond my control. But… you only see Miss Kaylee. Isn’t the reason you’re flirting around and having an older girl fetish because you like Miss Kaylee?”
“Lydia, I’m just teasing you.”
“I know. But I couldn’t help it. I told you, didn’t I? I don’t like a flirtatious boy like you, but I do. I’m looking for someone more mature instead of you, but… I can’t get you out of my head!”
“Lydia,” Nick tried to take Lydia’s hand, but the girl stepped back, avoiding his touch.
“Don’t touch me and just listen,” she asked with teary eyes making Nick feel helpless.
He never made a girl shed a tear. Plus, Lydia was his lover, the girl he loved the most, but instead shed tears in front of him.
“I thought as long as I could see you from a distance, even if I had to marry someone I didn’t love, I’d be fine. But then you threatened me. You said if I reject you now, you would never come back. How could I handle that? And even if we’re an item now, I feel like… we come from a different world.”
“We do.”
“Is that why you won’t tell me what happened? What happened to your sister?”
“It’s better if you don’t know.”
“You said you would tell me everything if I accept your feeling.”
“I said I might.”
“Is Mr. Larson your father?”
“No.”
“Then… who is your father?”
“His name is Conn Allanach. My real name is Nicolau Allanach and my sister’s Gwendy Allanach. In order to help with Kaylee’s recovery, my sister and I moved to New York using new identities a year earlier. Now Kaylee’s mental condition is getting better, and she will marry Mr. Black; our presence is no longer needed. That’s why our father wants us back.”
“It’s Miss Kaylee again,” Lydia muttered in a discouraging voice.
