Yesseca accepted the roses and said, "Please thank him for me."
Preslie walked over and said, "Yesseca, your husband is such a romantic person."
Yesseca was embarrassed at Preslie's playful comment.
Previously, the man delivering the roses would leave right after giving them to her, but not this time.
He handed her one more thing.
It was a beautifully crafted glass heart.
He said to Yesseca, "Miss Cowell, if you're willing to accept the man behind the roses, please give the heart a kiss."
Yesseca did not know what to say.
She never knew that Kylin was such a romantic. She, on the other hand, was an easily embarrassed person and could not help flushing.
Preslie urged her on. "Yesseca, give the heart a kiss! Come on!"
Everyone around them was now looking at her.
Yesseca was getting very embarrassed.
She quickly kissed the glass heart to put an end to this embarrassing situation.
She did not know what the glass heart was made out of, but a bright red kiss appeared on the heart the moment she pressed her lips to it even though she did not have any lipstick on it.
Yesseca blushed even more intensely.
The man took the heart with the kiss on it and left.
Preslie continued to tease Yesseca. "Yesseca, I never would've expected Kylin to be such a romantic. God, even asking for a kiss of yours like this. Is he trying to ease the pain of not being able to kiss you in person?"
Yesseca did not know what to say.
She blushed and said, "Stop, enough with that."
Preslie stopped teasing her. "Seriously, though. The two of you have been dating for so long now, you really should think about actually kissing him. All men have needs, and it's fine if you don't go all the way, but you should at least allow him to kiss and hug you."
Yesseca's heart skipped a beat.
She had never thought that Kylin would do something like that.
Yet that was exactly what he had done. Was it really because...
Yesseca bit her lip.
Preslie was right. As Kylin's girlfriend, it was only normal for her to kiss him.
It would be very hypocritical of her to refuse even being a little intimate with him!
Yesseca made up her mind. Once Kylin was back, she definitely could not reject him if he wanted to kiss her or hold her.
Soon after, Kylin returned.
The following day, Yesseca received a call from him.
Kylin told her that he was back.
He said that he would pick her up after work and they could go for dinner.
Yesseca accepted his invitation right away.
The moment she got off work, Kylin was already waiting for her at the entrance. On their way to the restaurant, he told her all about the things that had happened these past few days.
During dinner, Kylin suddenly said, "My mother asked me why I've been hanging around in Glevania."
Yesseca had just scooped up a spoonful of food and put it into her mouth. She looked at Kylin with her cheeks puffed up.
Kylin was amused at her reaction.
He then said gently, "Let's eat first."
Yesseca tried her best to swallow her food.
Kylin stared into Yesseca's eyes. "I told my mother that I was dating a girl from here and that I really liked her. That's why I stayed in Glevania for her."
Yesseca felt a little shy at his words.
Her face was red and her eyelashes fluttered.
Kylin continued, "Then, my mother asked when I'd be bringing this girl home for her to meet. When do you think that's going to happen, Yesseca?"
Yesseca started feeling a little anxious.
