Sure enough, Montez said, "Yesseca, you should wear my daddy's clothes first. It's much too late now. Tomorrow, I'll get the housekeeper to buy you some clothes and send them over."
Yesseca was silent.
She looked at the shirt in Montez's hand with some embarrassment.
How could she wear Tremaine's shirt?
She figured since she didn't have to leave, she would borrow a dress from one of the maids. But then she realized that it was really late and everyone had already gone to sleep. It wouldn't be very nice of her to wake them up so late at night.
"Forget it, this will have to do for tonight."
Yesseca changed into his shirt.
Tremaine was very tall, so his shirt reached down to Yesseca's thighs.
"Yesseca, you look pretty in my daddy's clothes," Montez said with a smile.
Yesseca felt embarrassed.
Wearing a man's clothes felt strange, she wasn't used to it.
Yesseca picked up Montez and said, "Well, Montez, let's go to bed."
Montez was very sleepy. After Yesseca pacifying him for a while, he soon fell asleep.
Yesseca however, couldn't fall asleep.
She was also very tired, but just couldn't fall asleep.
Perhaps it was because she was wearing a man's shirt...
Tremaine's tight-fitting clothes were now on her, and there was a lingering fragrance on it...
Her mind kept thinking about the moment when she bumped into Tremaine when she was soaking wet.
He looked at her body from top to bottom...
Yesseca's ears were red, and they felt very hot.
She closed her eyes and forced herself to stop thinking about that moment.
However, the more she forced herself not to think about it, the stronger the memory became.
His bold eyes constantly flashed in her mind, which made her blush. Her heart beat faster and even her body felt very warm.
Yesseca opened her eyes and sighed.
What was wrong with her?
Why couldn't she stop thinking about him?!
Just as Yesseca was about to take out her phone to pass the time, she suddenly heard Montaz's soft voice.
There was an inaudible sound.
It was very soft, so Yesseca couldn't hear him very clearly.
She glanced at him, but his eyes were closed. Only his mouth moved. Yesseca could see that he was talking in his dream.
Another sound was heard.
Montaz made that sound again.
From the way his mouth moved, he seemed to be saying something.
Being curious, Yesseca placed her ear close to his lips. She wanted to hear what he was saying, but her curious gaze suddenly turned solemn.
"Mom... Mom..."
That's what she heard him say.
Yesseca suddenly felt emotional.
She didn't know who his mother was, and she had never heard him or Tremaine talk about her before. It was as if this woman had never existed.
She had assumed that neither of them cared.
But now she knew she was wrong.
Montez did care.
Any child would miss their mother very much. Like all children, he yearned for maternal love.
But for some unknown reason, he never talked about it. He only revealed his inner thoughts when he was asleep.
Yesseca couldn't help but touch his cheek with her hand.
He was so young. Where was his mother? Why did she leave Tremaine? Why didn't she want Montez...
