Yesseca shook her head. "What happened just now had nothing to do with you. It's my own issue."
After that, Yesseca pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Looking at Yesseca's retreating figure, Kyi in's eyes flashed with confusion.
He had never fallen in love before.
But he also knew what love was.
However, he had a growing suspicion that what he and Yesseca had wasn't love at all.
Kyi in sighed.
He looked away.
Love could not be rushed. He would have to take it easy.
Recently, Yesseca's troubled expressions had been worrying him. He didn't know if it was because Yesseca didn't feel happy with him. He wanted to do better and make her feel content whenever they were together.
After Kylin went back, he happened to bump into Matthew.
Matthew asked, "Was Yesseca in a good mood when she went back?"
Kylin hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Matthew asked.
Although Matthew was cousin-in-law, Kylin and Matthew had a very good relationship, and he was willing to express his feelings to Matthew. "Matthew, were you and Selina happy while you were dating?"
Matthew smiled bitterly. "There are too many conflicts and too many things happening between us. Of course, if it weren't for those issues, we would be happy every single day."
Kylin said, "After I got together with Yesseca, we haven't ran into any conflicts or problems."
"That's great."
"But I feel like Yesseca and I are unhappy. I think she's been depressed recently." Kylin sounded upset. "Is it because I'm not good enough? Is that why she's dispirited when she's with me?"
Matthew held his breath.
He knew why Yesseca was unhappy, but he had no plans to tell Kylin the truth.
It was not something that he wanted to talk about openly. He wanted to resolve the problem by himself.
Matthew patted Kylin's shoulder. "Kylin, you're a good man. Everyone's relationships are different, don't think too much about it. Perhaps Yesseca is someone who is more reserved. Don't compare her with other girls."
"Is that so?" Kylin said softly.
"Yes."
Kylin raised his eyes. "She's a great girl. I'm just afraid I'm not good enough. After all, I don't have much experience. I don't think I know much when it comes to making my significant other happy."
"Kylin, you don't need to learn such skills. The most important thing for you to do is to be sincere, just as you are now," explained Matthew.
Kylin felt a little relieved by Matthew's words.
He smiled and said, "I understand. I'll continue treating Yesseca with sincerity. I'll stop overthinking it."
"Yes, that'd be for the better."
Kylin went back to his room to rest, but Matthew did not leave.
He thought about what Essie might have told her to warrant such resistance from Yesseca. Although Yesseca did not reveal anything, Matthew could see the defiance in her eyes.
Yesseca was no longer as affectionate with Selina.
What on earth was Essie planning?
