Chapter 210 - Ch. 210 Big White Teddy Bear
Chapter 210 - Ch. 210 Big White Teddy Bear
Ever since Declan knew that he had a cute and adorable baby sister, he never once forgot her birthday.
Every year he would come to visit the Grace Orphanage before the Campbell adopted her. And even after Letti joined the Campbell family, he would never forget and visited the Campbell place to celebrate her birthday.
But this year…
He doesn't remember at all!
"Brother. I don't mind you forgetting my birthday because I know you must have had too much fun with sister-in-law."
I'm not your sister-in-law yet. Added Roxanne in my heart.
"But at least give me face when he comes. After all, to hide the fact that I like him, I also invited other friends. You don't mind, do you?"
"Your college friend? Does this mean you won't hide the fact that I'm your brother?"
Leticia gave him an innocent smile. "In your dreams. I said I invited the RSH pianist and his wife because that person is my piano teacher."
Declan massaged his forehead in resignation. If his sister invites a boy she likes, doesn't that mean… that boy isn't Nick? After all, Nick couldn't come because his wife was with him right now. He was pretty sure his sister didn't know the real Nick, so he couldn't possibly come.
Declan should be relieved, but he wasn't relieved at all. He knew sooner or later his baby sister would feel what he now felt for Roxanne.
He knew that, but… he didn't feel willing to let the only sister he had cared for and protected since the baby fell into another man's arms.
On the other hand, Roxanne wondered which college friend Letti had invited.
"Letti, you said you invited your college friends here? Are they your classmates?"
"Yes. But I also invited my music group."
Music group? Doesn't that mean her?
Roxanne reached into her phone, and she realized that the group chat was so crowded with hundreds of chats that she didn't know what her bandmates were talking about.
Wait a minute. If Letti invites the music band, that means Letti invited Nick too!
Then… how did Nick come here while she's here as Kaylee? Plus, who called Nick to come here?
Oh shit! She didn't even respond in the group chat.
Roxanne opened her group chat and started reading quickly until she read a sentence about the girl's birthday.
Angeletti: Guys, free your time for the weekend ??
JJ: Is there a special event?
Angeletti: Let's have dinner together. We've never eaten together before ?
Freeze: I'm tired of eating with them, but I want to eat with you, angel ??
Adam: Ignore him. He had this incurable narcissistic disease ?
Angeletti: ??
Freeze: Hey!!
Angeletti: ?? It's my birthday this weekend
Adam: What? Wow, we're coming!! ??
What birthday present do you want? Doll? Jewelry? Dress? But I don't know your size
Freeze: It will be creepy if you've known it ?
Adam: Then how about a bracelet?
Freeze: What are you? You're not her lover
Adam: Doll it is
Freeze: Hey! Is she a child? She must have had a lot of dolls in her house.
Adam: Damn you! Why do you keep attacking me? ??
Angeletti: You don't have to bring anything for me. I just want you guys to come.
Freeze: Of course we'll come. Hey, Jake! Where are you? Are you there?
Adam: Where's Nick? He's been hard to contact lately
JJ: I'll tell Nick straight away.
Adam: You're with Nick? ?
JJ: Yup, we happened to meet at a music store. See you this weekend
Roxanne sighed after reading the part of Jacob meeting Nick by chance. It seemed like Jacob had told Nick about today's event, and Nick would act as if he knew and was willing to come here.
But to be sure, Roxanne contacted Nick first.
'Today is Letti's birthday, and she invited Nick and the others. Will you come?'
Not long after, Mifune's door opened, and three girls of Letti's age appeared, and they squealed with delight when they saw Letti's face. To welcome her three close friends, Letti got up and ignored her sulking overprotective brother.
"Hi, birthday girl, you look charming today." greeted Selena, one of Letti's closest friends. The young girl gave Letti a small pouch-sized gift package.
Letti giggled and accepted the gift happily while leading them to her reserved table. They chatted happily until the girls noticed the M University's professor.
"Mister Black? Why… why is he here?"
"He's the piano tutor I talk about. He also encouraged me to become a singer when he noticed my singing talent. He is the most important person in my life." Letti glanced at her brother while giving the sweetest smile to melt her brother's heart.
Declan snorted in disagreement. "Sweet-tongue naughty girl," he muttered to himself without knowing that Roxy, who was sitting next to him, could hear him.
Roxanne nudged Declan's elbow and leaned closer to the man. "Isn't it because she has a great tutor? She has a sweet tongue because you taught her." teased Roxy made Declan sigh in resignation. "Like a father like a daughter. It suits you."
"I am her brother, not her father."
"But you are her father figure since baby before she entered the Campbell family. The upbringing she received from you was more influential than the Campbell. That's why she said you are the most important person in her life. Isn't that great? Even the young man she likes will not be able to compete with your position in her heart."
Declan's mood improved a little, thanks to Roxanne's words. But his mood went down again when he saw a group of youths arriving shortly after Letti's classmates.
Roxanne turned towards the door and winced in surprise when she didn't see Nick. Jacob, Adam, and Fritz had come with each of their gifts. But the most remarkable gift was the one Jacob had brought.
He carried a white teddy bear with a red ribbon tie around the teddy's neck. It was so big that it almost covered Jacob's body, making Letti's friends laugh.
Roxanne laughed, amused at the gift the young man had brought. Ah, she could already guess that Letti's favorite birthday present must be this doll.
Even though she was no longer a child, all the teenage girls in this world still like big dolls with soft and fluffy fur. Plus, Roxy had seen a doll's pendulum hanging from Letti's sling bag. That means the girl was also a fan of dolls.
Jacob Cliverston… that kid knows how to please a girl, just like Nick.
But… where is Nick?
