The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?

Chapter 67 - Ch. 67 She Gets Smarter



Kaylee felt cold sweat running down her spine when she realized everyone was stunned when she heard Declan calling her affectionate endearment. She had noticed a woman standing next to Helena Black. She did not know who that woman was, but because she was standing next to Mrs. Black, doesn't that mean that woman is also a part of a family?

Apart from the woman who showed dislike for her, the others seemed beaming with a content smile at her.

Kaylee decided to ignore her lover… Uhm… that man's endearment nickname for her and greeted Mr. Old Black properly.

"Good evening, Mister Black. Happy birthday and God may bless you with healthiness and boundless joy. This is for you." Kaylee gave a small black parcel to Mr. Old Black.

The man took out the black box from the gift bag and opened it. His eyes were sparkling when he saw what was in the box.

"Oh, dear. Did my son tell you about my collection?"

"Yes, he did. Do you like it?"

"I don't like it. I love it! It makes me want to hasten your marriage."

What?! Not only Declan, who is shameless beyond word, but his father was way worse?

Well, the apple never falls far from the tree, after all.

The red hue on her cheeks was making everyone, but one enjoyed her bashfulness.

"Uncle, whose marriage?"

For the first time, Mr. Old Black just remembered his niece's presence. "Ah, where are my manners? This is my niece from Canada, Victoria Cliverston. Vicky, they are the Zouch family."

Victoria's jaw dropped when she heard the name 'Zouch' come out of her uncle's mouth. Is this family the 'Zouch' that has hundreds of the largest banks spread around the world?

And her uncle wants to pair the only daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the world with Declan?!

If Declan married the young lady Zouch, Declan's position in the Black corp company would be more secure. This would make it even more difficult for her son to win over Declan's trusted people, let alone that man's position.

She had to think of a way to stop this matchmaking. She won't let Declan take over everything that should belong to her… her son's!

All of the Black corp belongs to her son… belongs to Jacob!

Victoria looked at Kaylee with investigating eyes. This girl is indeed a beauty that it is difficult to describe in words. Her hair was shining like priceless black pearls, her skin was white like snow in winter, and her chewy lips looked like the most delicious strawberries in the world.

If only Jacob were twenty-five or this girl was a teenager, Victoria also wanted a daughter-in-law like Kaylee.

Unfortunately, she only had one son, and the boy was still eighteen years old.

Ah, it's okay. Age is not a barrier. After all, Jacob is no longer a child and should have known what love is. If she can make her son fall in love with this young lady, her plan to snatch Kaylee from Declan is more manageable.

After chatting for a while, Helena told Declan to invite the Zouch family inside first.

As Britney Zouch expected, her daughter was the center of attention as soon as they entered the show's main hall. No one does not adore the beauty of her fairy-like daughter.

The youths couldn't stop staring at Kaylee and wondering, why did a girl as beautiful as a fairy in a fairy tale never appeared all this time?

On the other hand, the girls looked at Kaylee with envy and jealousy for walking next to the most handsome bachelor in this country. They all came here to hook the man's heart when they heard that Declan Black would appear at his father's birthday.

Since Declan Black started his own business and was successful, the man hardly ever appeared at the top socialite events, and no one knew that Declan Black was the Black corp's sole heir.

Black's surname was so common that they would not think Declan Black of Oscar Security is the only son of Mister Old Black.

And now, the news that Declan Black is the heir to the Black corp makes the girls very enthusiastic about coming to this place so they can grab the opportunity to become Mrs. Black.

But who would have thought that man had made his choice, and they couldn't protest at all because Kaylee's beauty was very otherworldly. Not to mention, the girl was the beloved daughter of the infamous Mister Zouch.

Infamous? Yes. It is because Mister Zouch was a cruel and heartless man when facing a stranger who was not at his level.

However, Kaylee never knew about her father's nature as the old man only showed nothing but a doting father and a loving husband in front of his dear ones.

Declan never left Kaylee's side during the event, not to give the men a chance to approach his little bunny.

On the other hand, Victoria felt excruciatingly annoyed that her son didn't show up even after telling him to come into this room at precisely seven o'clock in the evening.

Vicky tried to reach out to her son's phone, but the insolent kid instead turned off his phone. She decided to go out to find her son, but she couldn't find him.

"That ungrateful child. How could he have mastered this place and hid from me?"

It's no secret that Jacob was an expert at hiding when he doesn't want to obey his mother. This annoyed Vicky, and she had no other choice but to return to the event room.

After all, most of the guests were colleagues of her uncle. Some of them were important people with great potential to help her get rid of Declan.

She decided to identify everyone there and sort out which ones she could invite to become her allies.

After nearly half an hour of meeting so many people, Kaylee began to feel her cheekbones tired. She smiled too much and responded to people who talk to her. If only Declan weren't there with her, Kaylee wasn't sure if she could survive or not.

Kaylee was not someone who likes to talk to strangers nor to be the center of attention. Fortunately, Declan was standing by her side, who somehow managed to get the people who approached them to leave immediately after just saying hello or presenting themselves.

She had no idea that Declan was deliberately staying by her side to drive away from the men who were about to approach her and give off a cold aura to the girls who were trying to get his attention.

Kaylee felt that she could no longer handle the pressure and needed fresh air, so her fingers grabbed the end of Declan's sleeve without realizing it.

"Yes, sweetheart?"

"Can I go for a moment? I feel stuff here."

"Come with me." Declan took her hand and led her out of the room and toward a balcony extended to the backyard.

Little by little, Kaylee started to breathe more freely, and her head didn't feel dizzy anymore.

When they arrived at the balcony's end, Kaylee saw a collection of beautiful flowers with various colors that made her smile.

"This place is so pretty."

"Indeed. Very beautiful."

"I know, right?" Kaylee turned her head towards Declan, who had been looking at him with a gentle gaze filled with millions of loves.

'Indeed. Very beautiful.' Did the man just say it to praise her beauty?

Kaylee turned her head back to hide her blush. She didn't know what expression on her face right now, but she was sure that her face was flushed red because now she was feeling the same heat as before.

Kaylee hugged her own body without realizing it while stroking her arms because the temperature was freezing.

Declan noticed that his little lover was shivering and took off his tuxedo before wrapping it around Kaylee's body.

"Ah..." Kaylee was surprised that she didn't expect this sweet gesture. "Thank you."

"I can make you feel warmer than this."

"How?"

Declan answered her by hugging her tightly, making Kaylee's heart rocket up into outer space.

"Uhm… That… Declan… I…" stuttered Kaylee as her heart was pounding too much that she couldn't speak.

"Yes?" Declan smiled amusedly above the top of her head as if she didn't understand what the girl was trying to say.

"I... I... I'm thirsty," stated Kaylee, suddenly making Declan's lips twitch. "Can you get a drink for me, please?"

Hm? Since when did his innocent bunny get smarter?

Since this place was quite far from the event hall and no man here that would approach his 'wife,' Declan decided to grant her wish.

"Alright. Wait here."

Kaylee nodded her head quickly, making Declan want to laugh. After tapping the top of Kaylee's head gently, the man walked inside to get a drink.

Kaylee breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the man's back had disappeared from her sight.

Really... someday she will die of a heart attack if she continues to stay by that man's side.

Unfortunately, her feeling of relief vanished when she heard a voice calling her name.

"Roe?"

Kaylee was alarmed hearing that name, and when she shifted her gaze to the call source, her expression turned horror.

"Jack?"

What's Jack doing here? And how could that young man recognize her as Roe?!
