She gave a hollow laugh and said, "Mr. Quartley, I'll take my leave. You can continue with your work."
After saying that, Yesseca was about to leave, but was blocked by Tremaine at the door.
Looking down at Yesseca, he said, "Do I look like the king on a poker card? Do I look like I have a stroke?"
Yesseca smiled awkwardly.
She couldn't wait to slap herself.
How could she say what was on her mind out of pride?
Out of the blue, Tremaine's face got closer, and Yesseca could feel his hot breath on her. "Look at me carefully and see if I have facial paralysis."
The man's face stopped a millimeter away from Yesseca.
Yesseca was stunned.
She felt as if her neck was being strangled, and she could not breathe.
This man is too much.
It would be good if he could prove that he did not have a paralytic face, but why did he have to put his face so close!
Didn't he know that he was handsome?
Who could stand being so close to a freaking God?
Just when Yesseca didn't know what to do, there was a knock on the door.
"Daddy, Yesseca."
The door to the study opened and Yesseca walked out.
At that moment, Montez found that something was fishy.
It was because Yesseca's face was as red as a tomato.
His small body immediately tensed up. "Yesseca, did my dad hit you? Why is your face so red!"
Madam Quartley was coming up the stairs at this moment, together with Montez.
She could see that Yesseca came out with a red face.
Montez was still a child who didn't know anything, but Madam Quartley was not a child anymore. Even if she was old now, she was once a youngster too.
Madam Quartley couldn't help but feel happy.
Did her cold-blooded grandson finally listen to her and start to find a wife? Didn't he make the girl blush?
Yesseca touched her face and it was burning hot.
D*mn it!
It was all his fault. Why was he getting so close to her?
It was so disappointing that she blushed when a man was leaning so close to her.
"Yesseca, talk to me. Did daddy hit you? I am going to find him." Montez was filled with justice.
In a haste, Yesseca grabbed Montez's hand. "Montez, what are you talking about? Your dad would never hit me."
"Then why is your face so red then?" Montez asked.
Yesseca didn't know how to respond.
Awkwardly, she said, "Perhaps the weather is too hot."
"Is it hot?" Montez said, "It's not hot."
Not knowing what to say, Yesseca then gave a dry laugh. "Didn't you say that you'll bring me to your new toys? Where are they? I wanna see them."
After all, a child was a child. When Montez heard that Yesseca wanted to see his toys, he instantly stopped thinking about Yesseca blushing.
He said happily, "Follow me, I'll bring you there."
It was already late when Yesseca came. After watching Montez's new toys for a while, it was soon time for dinner.
With that, Montez asked Yesseca to stay home for dinner.
Yesseca rejected at first, but she couldn't resist his pestering and finally gave in.
"Yesseca, please eat with me. The butler said that daddy is so busy that he might not be able to have dinner with me. I will be lonely then, please accompany me for dinner," Montez said in a coy voice.
Montez always said so... but the most important thing was that Montez said that Tremaine would not come down for dinner at night, so Yesseca agreed.
When she arrived at the dining room, she still felt depressed although Tremaine was gone.
That was the eldest daughter- in- law of the Quartley family.
When Yuliana saw Yesseca, she was stunned and then said in a strange tone, "Hey, the person who shouldn't have come is here again."
Rolling her eyes, Yesseca ignored Yuliana.
