En route to Northland.
Yesseca and Tremaine sat in one car, while Sheldon and Preslie were seated in another.
Halfway, Tremaine suddenly said to Yesseca, "I think you should find a different friend."
Yesseca looked at Tremaine in confusion.
Tremaine said indifferently, "Befriend someone smarter, because I'm sure that will make you smarter too."
Yesseca was speechless.
She glared at Tremaine in displeasure. "Stop with your nonsense. Preslie is a very smart girl. You just don't know her."
The corner of Tremaine's mouth twitched.
A woman who could knock herself unconscious by walking into a wall was deemed smart by Yesseca?
Tremaine subconsciously said, "Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together."
Yesseca had no retort.
She was very unhappy. "Why do you always call me stupid? Am I as stupid as you say all the
time?"
Tremaine answered without hesitation, "Of course."
Yesseca was getting worked up, but suddenly, Tremaine grabbed her hand in one swift motion.
Yesseca's breath stuttered.
His hands were big and warm.
Yesseca's small hands were engulfed by Tremaine's palm. It felt as if they were stuffed into a pair of comfortable, warm gloves.
Tremaine stared into Yesseca's eyes. "Yesseca, don't pull this on me next time. Don't just drop off the grid without telling me. I almost thought you ran away with someone else!"
Yesseca's lips were a little dry.
Then, she suddenly asked, "What if I really ran away with someone else?"
Coldness flashed in Tremaine's eyes. He looked as if he could break an iron into half. "Then I'll skin you alive"
Yesseca shuddered.
Looking at Tremaine's cold expression, she suddenly had a feeling that if she really run away with someone else, he would really do as he said. He would skin her alive!
Confusion flashed across Yesseca's eyes.
What kind of person was Tremaine?
Sometimes he was nice and kind, but sometimes he was downright cruel.
She really couldn't understand Tremaine.
While Sheldon was driving, Preslie was sitting in the passenger seat.
Preslie's mind was a mess the entire ride.
Sheldon must have thought that she was really dumb to be able to knock herself out.
Sheldon definitely looked down on her.
However, she was not normally that stupid.
It was the ridicule of her family that had made her lose her sense, which resulted in such an accident.
She thought about it all the way to Nashaland, and she couldn't help but open her mouth. "Um, I've never bumped myself into the wall when I walk. This is the first time."
"I, I was going through a tough time today, that's why all this happened. I, I don't know how it happened as well."
"But I'm definitely not clumsy enough to knock myself out when I walk."
While Preslie was explaining herself, she didn't dare to look at Sheldon and kept her head down as she talked as if she was speaking to herself.
Sheldon looked at Preslie strangely. Preslie kept talking and he couldn't help but interrupt her. "Miss Fernandez, what is it that you want to say?"
Preslie gulped nervously.
