When Tremaine reached Yesseca's apartment complex, he suddenly thought of something.
It was very likely that Yesseca would say something to provoke him. They would probably end up getting into another fight.
He had to keep his emotions in check.
He had to make sure that he was in a good place beforehand.
He called Sheldon and asked him whether there was anything that could make him happier.
He asked Sheldon for advice on what he could to feel better.
"Aside from drugs," Tremaine added.
Though drugs were the most efficient, as the president of a country, there was no way he could do something like that.
On the other end of the line, Sheldon was confused.
Why was the President asking him such a question out of the blue?
However, as a soldier, he had to obey his orders.
Since the President was asking, Sheldon answered truthfully. "Sir, there's something called phenethylamine in chocolate which can increase one's happiness levels. Frequent consumption of chocolate can make one feel happier."
"Are you sure?" Tremaine frowned.
To him, chocolate was junk food.
"Positive. Sir, I have a friend who eats a lot of chocolate whenever he's upset, and he becomes happy every time."
Tremaine considered this.
He hung up and headed to a nearby department store.
He picked out a box of chocolates, then changed his mind and got another box.
He figured that Yesseca would probably enjoy them as well.
After paying for the chocolates, Tremaine headed back to Yesseca's apartment.
After parking, he opened up one of the boxes.
There were several pieces of chocolate inside, in all kinds of cute and pretty shapes.
They all looked the same to Tremaine, however.
It was just chocolate. Why did they have to make them in so many different shapes?
Tremaine stuffed one into his mouth.
It was so sweet that he almost spat it back out.
He had never eaten something so sweet in his life!
However, he forced himself to swallow it.
This was supposed to make him feel happier so that he would not be so easily provoked by Yesseca's words and end up getting into another argument.
In the blink of an eye, Tremaine had made his way through the whole box of chocolates.
He felt like his throat was coated in pure sugar.
He felt that there was no chance of him getting into a fight with Yesseca this time.
Tremaine got out of his car and went upstairs.
When he reached the door to Yesseca's apartment, he suddenly thought of something else.
Yesseca already had a boyfriend, and he wanted to get her back.
And he wanted to get Yesseca back.
Was it possible that something had already happened between her and that man, though?
He narrowed his eyes.
After a while, he relaxed again.
It was not likely.
Although he did not have any conclusive evidence to prove this, he had a hunch that she and her so-called boyfriend had not gotten that far yet. Nothing had happened between them yet!
Tremaine knocked on her door.
Yesseca was getting ready for bed.
She had just finished talking to Kyi in over the phone.
They talked to each other before going to bed like lovers did.
After she hung up the phone, Yesseca breathed out a sigh of relief.
Because just before she ended the call, she said, "Kylin, I'll miss you."
She learned this line from watching one of her television dramas.
She figured that since she was Kyi in's girlfriend, she had to be more affectionate towards him, like every other girlfriend.
She was just thinking about her plans for the next day when she heard someone knocking on her door.
This startled her.
Having faced this multiple times before, she knew who it was.
Only one person would come knocking on her door at this hour.
