Suddenly, Tremaine felt a sense of relief for installing the surveillance cameras in Yesseca's bedroom instead of her bathroom. Otherwise, the word shower would have made him hotter. He did not know what he would do if he did see it with his own eyes.
Yesseca's message was for Montez. For some reason, Tremaine typed a few words back swiftly.
"Not yet."
After typing, he sent it out.
He received a reply soon.
"Montez, why aren't you asleep yet? It's late."
It took him a while to think of a reply.
"My dad isn't asleep yet."
Seeing the messages, Yesseca did not know why Montez had brought up that Tremaine was awake. But it did not stop her from writing back.
"Does he go to bed late every time?"
"Yes, my dad is always busy, so he sleeps late."
"Since your dad is so busy, you must show him some concern, okay?"
Tremaine smiled when he saw that text.
And so he sent a reply.
"I care about him a lot, what about you? Do you care for him?"
She was stunned.
Why had Montez asked such a question? She didn't even know how to reply now.
Tremaine waited for some time, but he did not receive another message from her.
Therefore, he reread the text he had last sent.
Could it be that she had noticed something from it?
After thinking about it, he replied with another message.
"I was just asking. Don't think too much."
Soon, he received a reply.
"I wasn't overthinking. Your dad is a nice person. I think many care about him too."
He was both satisfied and unsatisfied with her answer.
He was satisfied because she said that he was a nice person; he was unsatisfied because she wasn't taking the question seriously.
He knew that he would let the cat out of the bag if he enquired further, but he couldn't help himself from asking.
"Why do you think he's nice? Which part of him is nice?"
On the other side, she was typing away seriously.
"Although he looks cold and unfriendly, he has a kind heart and is handsome. That's why I say he is a nice person."
Seeing this text message, he smiled.
"Do you think he's the perfect guy to you then?"
Yesseca held her breath.
Was Tremaine a perfect guy to her?
She would have answered no in the past.
But now...
After some thoughts, she had to admit that he was almost flawless, except for...
With that, she wrote another reply on her phone.
After waiting for a long time, Tremaine finally received a text message from Yesseca.
For some reason, the wait was particularly difficult.
As soon as he heard the notification sound, he picked up his phone and immediately clicked on the message.
"Your dad is quite perfect. But he looks a bit too cool. It would be nice if he could smile more often. He is a handsome man. I am sure he would better smiling."
After reading this text message, another text message came.
He clicked on it to open it.
"Alright, it's time for you to go to bed, Montez. It's getting a little too late. I won't reply to you anymore. You still have to wake up to go to kindergarten. Rest well."
With that, he put down his phone.
Suddenly, he felt the need for a mirror.
However, there was no mirror in the study.
Therefore, he went upstairs.
They had just gotten a mirror on the stairwell, and it was Montez who requested it.
The reason was so he could admire his good looks from time to time. So he asked Noel to get one and put it at the corner around the stairs.
