Kaylee remembered that when Declan cornered 'Roe' by acting as if to compliment her, the man also said the exact words as he opened her grip gently.
'These two hands are too precious. Don't hurt yourself, miss.'
Is it possible… Declan knows? Does this man know that she is Roe and Roe is Kaylee?
"You... you know?"
"What do I know, Miss Zouch?" Declan knew what the girl is asking but pretended not to know.
"That… that I… I…" Kaylee stammered, not knowing whether she should continue her words or not.
If Declan didn't know that Kaylee and Roe were the same girls, wouldn't that mean she'd exposed her identity? On the other hand, if this man already knew but Kaylee acted as if she wasn't Roe, wouldn't this man know that she was lying?
Kaylee didn't want to expose her identity as Roe. At the same time, she didn't want him to see her as a liar girl.
