Chapter 258 - Ch. 258 Declan Is The Key



"This… This is your son?" asked Britney as she tried to dig up her memory.

She was pretty sure she\'d seen Declan\'s face somewhere, but she couldn\'t remember it.

"Yes. I told you, right. He is handsome. I\'m sure Declan and Kaylee will make a great couple."

Britney did not respond to her friend\'s words, but her eyes continued to look at Declan\'s face, who was hugging Helena with a gentle smile.

The longer Britney looked at Declan\'s photo, the more confident she became that she had seen this face. But where? Where had she seen him?

Britney was sure she had never met Declan, but why did she feel like she had?

"What does he do?"

"He\'s a founder and director of Oscar Security. But he also teaches at M University as a piano teacher. You know I like listening to music, so I took him piano lessons when he was little. Who would have thought that he liked to play it so much until now."

Piano? Has Britney ever seen Declan playing the piano somewhere?

That\'s also impossible. Instead of listening to other people play the piano, Britney preferred to listen to her daughter playing it.

"He is handsome but, I don\'t want to force them."

Helena sighed at that. "You\'re right. We can\'t force them. The truth is, I\'ve tried to force Declan to attend a blind date with a few girls, but none worked out. I\'m afraid he has a disorder."

"Disorder."

"You know, if your son has above average good looks, you will worry about the percentage of chances he has different preferences."

"What? Why do you think so? You\'re overthinking it."

"Yeah, I hope so."

The two continued their conversation. Although Britney seemed engrossed in talking with Helena, her mind kept drifting towards a question.

Where had she seen Declan?

That day, the Zouch family welcomed Helena Black with open arms, and they all enjoyed dinner together. Kaylee was very polite and would occasionally put on a cute pout when her father teased her.

Seeing the temperament and adorable nature of Kaylee made Helena fall in love even more. But she refrained from appreciating Britney, who did not want to pair up their two children.

As soon as Helena returned home, she told her husband everything, including her wish to set Declan to her best friend\'s daughter.

"Wait. What did you say? The Zouch?"

"Yes."

"Do you mean the Zouch that owned hundreds of banks around the world?"

"Hm-hm. Isn\'t the background great?"

"No. Although it\'s remarkable, we don\'t want to join his circle," said Mr. Old Black firmly.

"Why?"

"Darling, you can pair up Declan with all the girls you want, but not the Zouch."

"But what if Declan likes her?"

"How can you be sure he\'ll like her?"

"She\'s beautiful… and cute."

"There are a lot of other pretty girls, and none of them attract him."

"She\'s innocent. Declan doesn\'t look like one, but he has a soft heart. He will like her."

"Alright. If he does like the young lady Zouch, I\'ll let him be. But don\'t force him to marry her."

"I won\'t." After all, this matchmaking does not necessarily end in marriage. She only needed to assemble her son and her friend\'s daughter once.

On the other hand, Britney couldn\'t sleep because she was thinking about her friend\'s son. It\'s not like she\'s cheating on her husband. Yes, Declan was a handsome young man, but it was because of something else.

Britney closed her eyes to try to sleep, but her mind drifted back to eight years ago where Roxy contacted her when she had only arrived in Spain a few days.

"Mama, when will papa stop chasing me?"

"Then come home, Roxy. Your papa is worried about you."

"I don\'t want to get married."

"I\'ve reassured him, and he won\'t be discussing marriage again once you get home."

"He won\'t?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

There was a squeaky laugh from the other side. "But I like it here. And you know, ma… I met someone."

"Who?"

"Just someone. I don\'t know his name."

"His name? So it\'s a guy. Roxy, you do know that every guy…."

"I know, I know. He\'s a good guy. I can feel it. Oops. Uncle found me. Gotta go now. Love you, ma."

"Wait, Roxy."

Britney opened her eyes again as she recalled her conversation with her eldest daughter at that time.

Roxy met a guy… and… Didn\'t Roxy draw a man\'s face in her sketchbook?

Is it possible…

Britney opened the blanket without knowing the loud pounding woke her husband. Regardless of the sound of her husband\'s sudden awakening groan, Britney came out of the room and ran towards the warehouse.

"Brit?" Bossley was surprised by his wife\'s behavior and decided to get up to catch up with his wife.

He was even more surprised when he realized they were headed for the warehouse… to be precise, the warehouse for Roxy\'s belongings and some of Kaylee\'s belongings.

Does his wife miss their late daughter?

Bossley stood at the door, watching his wife unpack Roxy\'s belongings.

Once she found what she was looking for, Britney took the box and opened it to remove all its contents.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Bossley walked over to his wife.

"What are you looking for at this time of night?"

"Roxy\'s sketchbook."

Roxy? "What for?"

"I just wanted to confirm something." was her short answer without stopping her searching.

Her hands\' movements stopped as her eyes caught Roxy\'s familiar sketchbook. Hesitating but filled with renewed hope, Britney took it and turned to the first page.

As if a force was pulling her out of the abyss, that\'s how Britney felt when she saw the face of a young man in her daughter\'s sketchbook.

Roxy\'s imaginary man… is Declan Black?

"Who is this young man?"

"It\'s… Declan. His name is Declan."

"Ha? Who is Declan?"

"Darling, I think I know how to bring Roxy back."

"…"

"Declan is the key. I know he could bring her back."

Roxy drew a lot of Declan\'s face in her sketchbook. When \'Kaylee\' showed up and claimed she couldn\'t draw, sometimes her daughter would dance her finger across a table as if to draw something.

Whether her daughter realized it or not, deep down inside her daughter\'s heart, that girl yearned for this young man.

And thus… begins the arranged marriage between Declan Black and Kaylee Zouch. Britney was even more relentless and eager to marry them until it overwhelmed Helena.

But as you can see… the arranged marriage worked out just fine and Roxy did come back.
