She could just have breakfast at home, which would be much more convenient and economical, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.
She had just gotten together with Kylin. She wanted to spend more time with him instead of constantly declining his invitations.
So, she agreed.
When Yesseca reached her door, she saw a small figure sitting on the stairs.
That person had buried his face between his knees, so his face could not be seen clearly. Coupled with the fact that the corridor was dark, Yesseca didn't even know it was Montez.
She had to ask, "Hi there, what are you doing here? Where are your parents?"
The little boy raised his head.
Yesseca was surprised to see who it was.
It was Montez.
"Montez, why are you here?" Yesseca cried out.
Montez looked at Yesseca with a very sad look in his eyes. "Yesseca, I thought you didn't want me anymore. I've been waiting for you for such a long time. I felt like I had to wait till the end of time before I could see you again."
He must have watched too much television. Montez's quirky speech could always make her laugh.
Yesseca look at him quietly.
She quickly opened the door. "Come on in. You'll catch a cold sitting out here."
After walking inside, Montez said sadly, "Yesseca, I haven't eaten yet. I'm so hungry,"
He then pointed at his stomach. "Look, my stomach is flat."
Yesseca looked at him in silence.
She then said, "I'll cook you some noodles for you then,"
Montez nodded happily.
Yesseca went to the kitchen to cook some noodles. When the noodles were cooked, she added a fried egg on top and sprinkled some freshly chopped spring onion to complete the dish.
Montez ate the dish with much gusto.
Yesseca felt conflicted as she watched Montez devour his delicious dinner. "Montez, what are you doing here? Does your family know you're here? Didn't they object to you coming here?"
She was talking about his father, but now she referred to him as his "family".
Montez took a bite out of his fried egg and said, "Yesseca, I have some good news for you. That grumpy monster can't control me now. He has no control over me for a month, so you don't need to worry. I can sleep here with you,"
"He..." Yesseca hesitated for a moment. "Why can't he control you?"
"He will be away for a month," Montez took another mouthful of noodles.
He was so happy.
He was in Yesseca's apartment, eating noodles that she had just cooked for him and soon would be sleeping on the same bed with her.
Life was great.
Yesseca held her breath.
Tremaine told her the same thing when he came to see her at her workplace. Why would he be away for a whole month?
Yesseca bit her lip.
What was she going to do?
Tremaine would be away for one whole month.
This had nothing to do with her!
It would be best if she and Tremaine never saw each other again.
It was just...
Yesseca looked at Montez's face, which was brimming with joy.
She wouldn't see Tremaine anymore, but what about Montez?
Yesseca watched Montez finish his plate of noodles. He then held the plate in front of her and spoke in a clear voice, "Yesseca, I'm done eating. Your cooking is delicious. It's simply the best in the world!"
As she looked at Montez's cheerful smile, Yesseca sighed in her heart.
Forget it.
Montez was innocent.
Although he had such a perverted father, Montez was innocent.
She couldn't place her hatred for Tremaine on Montez.
"Montez, since you're done eating, you should go home," Yesseca said.
However, Montez refused.
He lurched over and hugged her thigh. "Yesseca, don't chase me away. I want to sleep with you."
Yesseca still said no.
Montez pursed his lips. "Yesseca, tell me the truth.
