Louisa, Axel, and Declan were classmates in their college days, and among the many girls who approached him, Declan preferred Louisa.
The girl was not perfect, and he knew there was something that the girl was hiding behind her pure and sweet angelic smile. As long as the girl doesn't cross the line, he always considers Louisa, his best female friend.
If Declan hadn't met Kaylee or fallen in love with her, maybe Declan would have granted Louisa's request. He always did and ready to be there whenever Louisa needed him.
Years ago, Louisa tried to seduce him, and they even kissed under the moon because he got carried away. But their kiss did not create the slightest spark at all, making him feel sure Louisa wasn't the girl he wanted.
Like a gentleman, he apologized to Louisa and told her to slap him or beat him for using her. But the girl gave an angel-like smile at him and didn't mind their brief accident kiss.
