My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1826

Yesseca was stunned.

She was initially enchanted by Tremaine's stories, but now she was once again aware of the nearing danger.

She took a step back.

The adoration in her eyes changed into anxiety. "You... you..."

She understood what Tremaine meant. He was being impulsive again, but she could not say anything. All she could utter was "You...you..."

Tremaine felt both amused and nervous when he saw Yesseca stammering in front of him.

He patted Yesseca's head. "What are you talking about, you little stammerer?"

Yesseca did not say anything.

She blushed and said, "You're the little stammerer,"

"He is not a little stammerer!" A loud voice rang out.

Yesseca went quiet.

So did Tremaine.

When they looked over, they noticed Montez

standing off to the side.

Montez looked upset. He said, "Yesseca, my daddy is so old, how is he a little stammerer? He's practically a ghost! You should call him an old stammered!"

Yesseca didn't expect Montez to appear. She just stood there, unsure of how to react.

Tremaine had a dark expression.

"Montez, go back to your room!"

Montez merely snorted.

Ever since Yesseca and his dad got together, Montez had been unhappy. He would hide in his room after coming back from school. He came out for a beverage when he saw Yesseca and Tremaine talking and overheard Yesseca calling his father a "little stammerer."

Montez didn't understand why Yesseca called him such a name.

In his eyes, however, Tremaine had nothing to do with the word "little".

He was so old!

How could he be "little?"

Montez was the little one!

And his daddy was a downright elderly man.

"Montez, did you not hear what I just said?" asked

Tremaine. Seeing that Montez did not move, Tremaine's voice became even colder. It scared even Yesseca.

Yesseca immediately said, "Don't scare your child like that."

Seeing that Yesseca was helping him, Montez's heart was filled with complicated emotions.

He felt sadness and grief...

He could not help but say, "Why would you choose someone like him, Yesseca? He's such an old man. I'm young and fresh, I'm the one you should choose."

Yesseca felt dizzy.

Hearing Montez spout nonsense in front of Yesseca, Tremaine turned to Montez and said, "It seems that I haven't taught you a lesson in a long time."

Though Montez was sad, he was still intelligent.

He turned around and ran away shouting, "Yesseca, see, this man isn't just old and fierce, he's also an evil man!"

Yesseca was frightened by Montez's words. She knew that Tremaine had a bad temper, and she was afraid that he might hit Montez. She quickly ran in front of Tremaine and held him back, "It's okay, he's just a little boy, he doesn't know what he's saying. Don't take it to heart."

Tremaine stopped and asked a strange question, "Am I old?"

Yesseca didn't respond.

She didn't expect Tremaine to ask a question like this.

"You idiot, I'm asking you a question!" said Tremaine as he knocked Yesseca on her head.

Yesseca patted her head. "Of course you aren't old. How can you be old in your prime?"
