Yesseca especially told Tremaine that she made the cookies herself and they couldn't be kept long. She even told Tremaine to let Montez know about that and asked him to finish the cookies up as soon as possible.
But what she didn't expect was that Tremaine didn't tell Montez any of that, and never even gave him the handmade cookies she made. He kept them in the cupboard, just waiting for the cookies to go bad.
She'd made those cookies laboriously. In order to make one box, she had to spend half a day in the kitchen!
Tremaine's way of doing things really grieved and maddened Yesseca!
Five minutes later, Tremaine reached home.
As soon as he returned, he saw Yesseca standing in a spot, huffing in anger.
When she saw Tremaine, Yesseca opened her eyes wide and glared at Tremaine.
Seeing Yesseca like this, Tremaine suddenly thought of a creature.
Pufferfish!
Yesseca looked very much like a pufferfish at the moment.
Tremaine immediately took out his phone and searched for a picture of a pufferfish. He then placed the phone in front of Yesseca and said, "Do you see this?"
Yesseca looked over and only saw a round, bloated fish.
Her eyes widened. "Why are you showing me this?"
Tremaine teased with a faint smile, "Don't you think that you are a bit like this fish?"
Yesseca said nothing.
She was already angry, and now she was even angrier when Tremaine said that. Yesseca lifted her hand to hit Tremaine and he couldn't avoid it in time. His phone fell to the ground.
Thud!
A crisp sound rang out.
Tremaine's face darkened.
He was not worried about his phone, but because of Yesseca's inexplicable action.
As for Yesseca, she regretted it.
She was angry with Tremaine, so why did she vent out her anger on Tremaine's phone? Wasn't that just a bad thing to do?
Yesseca immediately bent down to pick up his phone and placed it on the table.
Fortunately, Tremaine's phone did not break, probably because it was of really good quality.
Seeing Yesseca pick up his phone, Tremaine's face relaxed a little.
He stared at Yesseca and said, "Yesseca, you must have eaten explosives today!"
Yesseca glared at Tremaine, "I indeed ate explosives!"
Tremaine held Yesseca's hand and said, "Let's go!"
Yesseca was dumbfounded.
She broke free from Tremaine's hand. "Why are you holding my hand?"
Tremaine raised his eyebrows and said, "I need to clean your stomach out of gunpowder if not your body will be blown into pieces!"
Yesseca kept quiet.
She took a deep breath.
No, she wouldn't be angry.
This was how Tremaine spoke, in a frustrating and infuriating manner! She absolutely wouldn't be angry!
"Let me ask you something!" Yesseca finally got to the point. "Did you give Montez the cookies I made?"
He wanted to say that Montez had had diarrhea the last time he ate Yesseca's cookies. He really didn't dare to let Montez eat any of it anymore, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
Yesseca would be sadder and would even think that he was blaming her.
Tremaine pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I forgot about it because I've not seen Montez for some time. Look at you, it was just some cookies. Don't be upset over it. It's all my fault. Don't be angry. If making the cookies are tiring, don't make them anymore."
After that, Tremaine took Yesseca's hand and said, "It's late. Let's rest. I'm tired, I have to rest."
Tremaine wanted to smooth things over as soon as possible, but in Yesseca's eyes, it seemed that he didn't care at all.
Tremaine did not care about the cookies she had worked hard to make, and he'd casually ruined all her hard work.
After saying so much, he still didn't care at all.
Yesseca felt very sad and angry.
She once again shook off Tremaine's hand and said, "If you need to rest, go rest yourself! I won't rest with you! You big jerk!"
After saying that, Yesseca stomped away.
Tremaine was stunned.
He frowned. He wanted to catch up with Yesseca, but he didn't.
One reason was that he was afraid if he did, the matter won't be solved. And in his eyes, this wasn't anything big to fuss about. He just couldn't understand why Yesseca was angry.
Tremaine figured her anger would subside sooner or later, and she probably needed some space.
Yesseca ran to the garden outside of Quartley Palace. She walked in circles in the garden.
At first, she thought that Tremaine would catch up with her, but after so many rounds, she didn't see any trace of Tremaine at all.
After her anger subsided, sadness swept over Yesseca.
