My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1593

Normally, Tremaine would have been furious by her conversation with Montez. But when she saw his face, he didn't seem very angry at all.

In fact, Yesseca could have sworn that he looked kind of playful.

She wasn't sure if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

"Montez is a child, you say?" Tremaine slightly parted his thin lips. "But you're an adult."

Yesseca cursed at herself.

She remembered that Tremaine held grudges.

This was because she had agreed with Montez's remark about him over the phone.

The smile on Yesseca's lips began to waver. "Mr. Quartley, in Montez's and my point-of-view, calling you a devil is a compliment. It's just our way of relating to your devilishly good looks."

Tremaine found this response rather satisfactory.

"Is this true?"

"Yes! Yes it is!" Yesseca nodded her head earnestly.

Tremaine smiled briefly.

He knew exactly what Yesseca was doing, but didn't intend to expose her.

Her attempt to appeal to his good graces really did appease his temper.

Tremaine put down his hand. "Go to sleep."

He could see the dark circles around her eyes and decided not to tease her anymore.

Yesseca looked at him quietly.

Was he really just going to let her go to bed? Just like that?

"So you'll leave then?" Yesseca asked.

"No." Tremaine looked behind her at something in the distance and said, "I'll stay and guard you, just for tonight. Whether it was a nightmare or someone causing trouble, I'll figure it out by tonight."

Yesseca's heart jolted.

Wasn't she just having nightmares? It didn't sound like it based on what Tremaine said.

"Does he know something I don't?"

She gasped. "Mr. Quartley, what do you mean? Aren't I just having nightmares? Have you found something?"

Tremaine squinted.

He hadn't found anything yet.

There was nothing unusual from the lab analysis report.

But he had a gut feeling that this wasn't as simple as it looked.

He wanted to look into it personally.

Tremaine replied casually, "It's nothing. This isn't the first time you've had a nightmare. I'll keep an eye on things so you can rest."

Yesseca felt disappointed.

It turned out it really was just a nightmare.

"No. Thank you, Mr. Ou art ley."

"It's important for you to feel safe." He looked at her thoughtfully.

Yesseca felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Tremaine was a really good man.

"There's really no need. You should go home and get some rest." Yesseca declined once again.

Tremaine assured her calmly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to a dried pickle like you while you sleep."

Yesseca's face blushed red. "That's not what I meant!"

She was just worried that he would get exhausted staying up all night, and felt that there was no need for him to stay!

However, since Tremaine thought of her that way, she might as well give up. "Do as you like then!"

Having said that, Yesseca stormed into her bedroom and laid down on the bed.

She had slammed the door shut, but then it swung open again a moment later.

Tremaine walked in.

Yesseca sat up in shock. "What are you doing here?"

She thought he'd be in the living room for the rest of the night.

Tremaine looked at Yesseca like she was a fool.

"How can I be sure unless I come in?"

Yesseca was quiet.

"Sleep. I already said I wouldn't do anything to you." Tremaine repeated.
