And Kylin, who was far away in the United States, was completely relieved when he saw Yesseca's happy face in the video.
He thought to himself that he was overthinking it.
Yesseca's life was good.
She'd called him just to talk about the old days.
At the President's Office.
"Your Excellency, I'll take my leave now." Since he had dropped off the documents with Tremaine, and it was one hour after work hours, Sheldon brought up the request of leaving.
Tremaine cast a suspicious look at Sheldon.
Sheldon used to stay late at the President's office every day. He would even patrol the area. But now, it was only one hour after work hours, yet Sheldon had already expressed that he wanted to leave.
This was very strange.
"Sheldon, why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Tremaine asked meaningfully.
Sheldon laughed dryly.
Why was he in such a hurry to go back?
Of course, he had to go back to eat.
Things were different on this day.
Sheldon had always had his dinner at the President's office. Since he usually had nothing to do after that, he would stay back at the President's office to make rounds even if he knew there was nothing in particular that the President wanted him to do.
But now...
Preslie was making dinner for him everyday. He did not want to waste time at work. Once he was done for the day, he was in a rush to go back.
"Your Excellency, I would like to leave since I've settled everything for the day," he explained. "It's been a long day. I'm tired."
Of course, Sheldon wouldn't tell Tremaine the real reason.
"So before this, you weren't tired?" Tremaine asked. "You used to work until midnight, and you would still not be tired."
Sheldon was silent.
He answered awkwardly, "I was younger and stronger back then. Now, I'm older. It's best if I go back to rest earlier."
Tremaine then exclaimed sincerely, "Take good care of your health then."
"Yes, I will," Sheldon replied in agreement as he was in a rush to head back.
Tremaine looked deeply at Sheldon and said, "You're not even married now, yet your stamina is weak. What will happen when you are married? Your wife will be dissatisfied with you."
Sheldon did not say anything.
He was taken aback.
"You may leave now," Tremaine urged Sheldon.
Sheldon was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you not leaving?"
Tremaine's face looked stern. "There are still some things to be done."
"Then, I'll leave you to it," Sheldon felt as though there was nothing much going on at the office. Tremaine should have left.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Tremaine finally returned to Quartley Palace.
He avoided dinner time.
Because he really couldn't stand it.
Recently, Yesseca had been fascinated by something unpleasant. She kept on making desserts.
It was not a big deal. If Yesseca enjoyed it, she could make it as often as she wanted.
But Tremaine did not like sweet foods.
Yesseca insisted that he should eat them, which made Tremaine feel unwell.
Therefore, Tremaine especially avoided dinner time for fear that Yesseca would force him to eat something sweet.
But who would have thought that he had miscalculated?
