Montez was so happy that he finished all the dumplings in no time.
After he finished the dumplings, Yesseca brought him to wash up.
After washing up, the two of them then went to bed.
Originally, Yesseca wanted to go to sleep directly after getting into bed, but Montez refused. Montez wanted to chat.
If it were before, if Montez wanted to have a chat with Yesseca so late at night, she surely wouldn't agree to it. But this time, she agreed.
The reason was none other than being afraid that she wouldn't get to see Montez much again in the future.
After reporting to Yesseca about what he did all day, Montez asked Yesseca, "Yesseca, what did you do today?"
He didn't mean much by it, but to Yesseca, she heard all different sorts of meanings in it.
Her face went pale.
She thought of how Tremaine had gone too far and kissed her earlier in the restaurant, even trying to pull her skirt down.
Her heart felt as if there were blades slicing it.
"Yesseca, what's wrong?" Montez asked when he found that Yesseca wasn't giving him any response.
Yesseca quickly snapped back to reality.
She took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing. I just went to work as usual."
Montez nodded, "Yesseca, we've not seen each other for a while. Did you miss me?"
Yesseca caressed Montez's head. "Of course, I really missed you, Montez."
Montez suddenly felt sad and said in a pitiful voice, "Then why didn't you call me at all?"
"Montez, you don't have a phone."
"You can call my Daddy."
Yesseca choked.
Call Tremaine?
Forget it.
She didn't want to see that man again for the rest of her life.
Montez's heart skipped a beat when he saw a different expression on Yesseca's face.
He lowered his voice, "Yesseca, are you dating? Could it be that you've gotten another man, and you forgot me already?"
Yesseca was rendered speechless.
She said rather helplessly, "You little thing, what are you talking? Since when am I dating another man? Stop talking nonsense."
Montez immediately grinned.
He knew it. How could his Yesseca date another man?
Tremaine had asked him to come to confirm it. Still, it was a fact that didn't need to be confirmed.
He was Montez. He was such a charming person. Yesseca would surely wait for him to grow up. She wouldn't date another man.
Montez hugged Yesseca and said, "Yesseca, you're so nice."
A smile appeared on Yesseca's face when the soft little boy hugged her.
She patted Montez's face, "You should sleep earlier. We'll have to get up early tomorrow. I'll bring you to a nice place for breakfast. They serve really good dishes there."
"Really?" Montez's eyes lit up. "Is it going to be tastier than yours?"
"Yes, it's tastier than the food I make."
Montez closed his eyes. "Then I'll go to bed early so that I can have breakfast with you tomorrow!"
Seeing Montez shutting his eyes, Yesseca sighed.
She thought of the child's father.
Their originally peaceful relationship was now broken. What would happen next in the future?
Would her relationship with Tremaine affect her relationship with Montez? Perhaps she would never get to see Montez again in the future.
Yesseca bit her lip.
Forget it, she should stop thinking too much.
She should cherish the time she had with Montez for the time being. Who knows, their time together might lessen in the future.
Yesseca hugged Montez and closed her eyes.
Noel got a call from Tremaine downstairs.
