Madam Quartley nodded in appreciation when she heard Yuliana's words. "You are so considerate, Yuliana."
"How can I not be?" Yuliana said with a hollow smile, "Zorion is my husband, I must be considerate to him."
Although Madam Quartley was happy, she reminded Yuliana. "It's a good thing that you're considerate, but you shouldn't be dressed like this to look for Tremaine. Even relatives should avoid arousing suspicion!"
Yuliana pretended to realize this and she patted herself on the head and said, "How silly of me, I was too excited. I'll be sure to be careful next time!"
If Yuliana had talked about Zorion in the past, Tremaine would have been patient, but he was not in the mood for it today.
With some cold air in the car, he became more clear headed.
But somehow, his thoughts became muddled again.
Yesseca once again entered his mind.
She looked at him with hatred.
She said that she despised him.
He could not get rid of the image in his head.
"Creak!"
Tremaine abruptly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car.
After a while, he turned in the direction of Agaphen City. He then stopped after five minutes.
He opened the door and got out of the car.
The icy wind gave Tremaine chills.
He stood out there in the cold for a while.
He then got back into the car.
He rerouted his direction and headed towards Nashaland.
The next day soon arrived.
Yesseca hadn't gotten a wink of sleep all night.
She decided to go to Essie again.
When she went downstairs, she saw Kylin.
She knew that Kylin was here to pick her up.
Yesseca got into his car.
"Send me to the office, please," Yesseca said.
Kylin looked at Yesseca with concern. "Yesseca, do you want to take a day off? If you want to rest, you don't have to go to work.."
"No need, I'm going to clock in," Yesseca said.
Kylin drove to Yesseca's workplace.
When he arrived, Kylin stopped the car and said to Yesseca in a serious tone, "Yesseca, what exactly are we?"
Yesseca was stunned.
She did not know how to answer this.
She was initially with Kylin mostly because of his relationship with Selina.
But now, Selina's position in her heart had changed. Where did that leave her and Kylin?
It was as though something was being tugged in her mind.
"We're a couple." Yesseca did not respond, and Kylin answered in her stead.
At the same time, Kylin stared into Yesseca's eyes, as if he wanted to receive an affirmation from her.
Yesseca licked her dry lips.
No matter how she felt about Selina now, Yesseca was already Kyi in's girlfriend. And all things considered, Kylin was a good man.
Yesseca nodded.
A smile appeared on Kylin's lips. He said in a softer voice, "Since we are a couple, we should share the same burdens. That's my duty as your boyfriend."
After a pause, Kyi in said, "Yesseca, I've noticed that you've been behaving strangely recently. I've been waiting for you to tell me the truth, but since you don't want to, I'll respect your privacy. But you can tell me about it in the future, it's my responsibility as your boyfriend to carry your burdens with you."
Yesseca's mouth felt parched.
If it was something else, she could tell Kyi in, but this was a different issue. He was Selina's cousin.
"I'll tell you when I have the opportunity," Yesseca replied quietly. "I'm off to work."
Fortunately, Kylin did not force her.
