Matthew, Selina, Marleigh and finally Kylin. All of them flashed in her mind.
Her mind lingered on the heartbroken expression on Kylin's pale face.
Yesseca's heart felt like it had been pierced by a thousand needles.
"Kylin, I'm sorry." Yesseca muttered. "I'm sorry. I've let you down."
She couldn't deny that Kylin was really good to her.
She'd also thought that she would be with Kylin for a lifetime.
However, things were unpredictable.
No one had expected this to happen.
Yesseca looked into the distance and softly asked, "Lothar, did I do anything wrong?"
No one responded to her.
Lothar couldn't answer her.
Yesseca laughed bitterly and said as if she was talking to herself, "I didn't do anything wrong. Definitely not. I only wanted to protect everyone. I had to follow him."
Perhaps it was because Yesseca was too caught up in the view.
She didn't realized that someone had snuck into the room until a pair of hands were wrapped around her waist.
It was Tremaine.
Yesseca's heart seemed to be suspended in the air. She was so nervous that her body tensed.
His cool scent spread to Yesseca's nose.
"Hey, dummy, what are you looking at?" Tremaine's deep voice rang in Yesseca's ears.
A look of bewilderment flashed through Yesseca's eyes.
She remembered that Tremaine liked to call her dummy.
He always wore fierce-stricken face whenever he called her that. Now, Tremaine was hugging her with his voice reverberating in her ears, and she felt uncomfortable.
She wanted to be free of his grasp but she was afraid that it would provoke Tremaine to anger.
Seeing that Yesseca didn't answer, Tremaine forced her to turn to face him.
Yesseca lowered her head and her eyes fluttered.
Tremaine wanted Yesseca to look at him.
He lifted Yesseca's chin. "Look at me."
Yesseca could only look at Tremaine.
Tremaine's eyes were deep and dark. "Dummy, listen to me. I have already declared to everyone that you are my wife. If someone harasses you in the future, tell me. If anyone dares lay a finger on you, they will be my enemy. I will never let them get away with it!"
Yesseca felt her eyelids trembling even more.
Tremaine was clearly standing right in front of her, but she felt like she could no longer see him.
His words were supposed to be touching.
However, Tremaine term of endearment for her sounded disgusting in her ears.
If Tremaine really liked her, would he still use such a nickname?
Yesseca couldn't understand it.
After a moment, she spat out, "You are a very strange person."
Tremaine was confused by Yesseca's words.
He asked, "What do you mean?"
Yesseca didn't want to elaborate. "There's nothing much to it."
Tremaine didn't get to the bottom of it either.
He took Yesseca's hand and said, "Let's have dinner."
Yesseca was stunned.
Dinner.
She remembered the last time she'd ate dinner with the Quartley family. Montez, Yuliana, Tremaine and even Madam Quartley had been there.
Madam Quartley and Yuliana had seemed to dislike her very much...
While Yesseca was thinking, Tremaine took her to the door. As she walked to the dining room, she bumped into Montez.
