She saw that it was a number she didn't recognise.
Yesseca answered her phone.
A familiar voice rang out, the arrogance in his voice as apparent as ever. This time, it also sounded rather tired. "Yesseca." Yesseca's hand trembled, almost dropping her phone.
She never expected Tremaine to call her.
"I'm busy with sthings here, so wait forto cback. Once I'm back, we'll go make everything clear with that so-called boyfriend of yours." Tremaine paused, then continued, "Your sister's the one who set you up with that man, right? She forced him on you. Yesseca, both of them have ulterior motives towards you." Tremaine had always been like this.
He was extremely domineering and insufferably arrogant.
That was why he never tried to be tactful. He would just go straight to the point.
Hearing him say that, Yesseca's nervousness turned into anger.
Tremaine was actually accusing Selina! He had even accused Selina and Kylin of having ulterior motives! She couldn't stand for this.
She was so angry that she had completely forgotten that Kylin was right next to her.
She raised her voice. "You're the one who doesn't mean well, Tremaine!" "Yes, I don't sugar coat things with you. When I get back, I'm taking you back to Nashaland with me. I won't take no for an answer, Yesseca. I'm determined to get you." Yesseca was shocked to hear him say that.
Normally, Tremaine's threats wouldn't bother her very much, but now that she knew who Tremaine really was, she was terrified.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, she remembered what Selina had told her.
If Tremaine were to do anything to her and they weren't able to save her in time, what would she do? Her fear intensified.
Another unfamiliar male voice rang out and she heard Tremaine say, "That's all. I need to go." He hung up.
Yesseca clutched her phone blankly.
"Creak!" Suddenly, Kylin brought the car to a stop.
Yesseca then cback to her senses.
She looked at Kylin.
There was a sliver of restraint in his eyes, and his gentle voice was slightly hoarse. "Yesseca, did he call you?" Yesseca's eyelashes trembled.
She didn't answer, which confirmed his suspicions.
"You're still keeping in touch with him." This time, Kyi in's voice sounded a little cold.
Cold and disappointed.
Yesseca opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
Kylin suddenly opened the door, and strode out of the car.
Yesseca held her breath.
She could tell that Kylin was very upset.
She had been with Kylin for so long, and he had always been the perfect gentleman. This was the first tshe had even seen him unhappy. Yesseca quickly got out of the car and followed him.
"Kylin, wait." He stopped.
After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Yesseca, get back in the car. It's cold outside." Instead of getting into the car, Yesseca looked at him and asked, "Are you angry?" "No, I'm not." "I can tell that you're angry." Kylin was quiet again.
After a moment, he looked at her and said, "Yesseca, I'm not a saint. In fact, after you toldabout that man, I was really upset. Although I didn't say anything about it, I felt extremely upset." Yesseca felt her heart being pierced by a thousand needles.
Kyi in's voice beceven deeper.
"Later on, when you toldthat you still wanted to be my girlfriend, I was so happy figured that that meant that you wouldn't be in contact with that man anymore, that I had finally managed to move you... yet you spoke to him on the phone, and you were distant at the birthday party." Kylin was much too depressed to continue.
He had misunderstood Yesseca's distance at the birthday party to be because of Tremaine, not because of Lothar.
Then, she'd answered that phone call.
The way she'd said that Tremaine didn't mean well sounded flirtatious to him, and it pierced him.
Kyi in knew that he was probably overreacting.
But he still couldn't help thinking about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDuring the birthday party, Yesseca was so distant towards him. Was it because her mind was thinking about that man? Did she wish she was celebrating her birthday with that man instead of him? He knew that he was on edge.
Later on, when Yesseca answered the phone, Kylin instinctively felt that it was that man.
Yesseca's mobile phone wasn't exactly soundproof, so he could make out sof the things that man had said, like "I'm taking you back to Nashaland".
That line completely broke him.
He had always been calm and gentle, and he almost never got angry or upset. At this moment, however, he felt like he was losing control.
Kylin looked at Yesseca and said,
"Yesseca, I'm sorry, this is really out best of character for me. I trust you, but if you're withbecause of Selina, there's really no need for that. You're a kind girl, but there's no need for kindness in a relationship.
This is something that's going to change your whole life, so you should listen to your heart. If you don't like me, I'm still willing to let you go. I'll explain everything to Selina, and I respect your decision." Yesseca was feeling rather short of breath. A bunch of memories flashed through her mind.
The memories of Kylin treating her well.
Suddenly, a strong impulse surged in her.
It finally helped her make her mind up. "Kylin, you're wrong. I was distant at the birthday party because I was thinking about my brother. I was thinking about how happy he would be if he could see how wonderful birthday party forsomeone had planned out such a Also, my brother always toldto stick to my promises. Since I've agreed to be your girlfriend, I won't think about any other men. If you don't believe me..." Yesseca took a deep breath and then stood on her tiptoes to kiss Kyi in's cheek. "Kylin, let's get married." Kyi in's mind suddenly went blank.
It was partly due to the warmth on his cheek and partly because of Yesseca's words.
After a while, Kylin cback to his senses.
He stared into Yesseca's eyes, breathing heavily.
"Yesseca, are you sure you're not marryingjust because of what Selina said?"
Yesseca said, "I'm sure. Kyi in, you're a good man, and we'll eventually get to this stage. If that's the case) m there's no need to drag things out. You said that if I was willing to, you'd marryin a heartbeat. Do you still want that?" Kyi in didn't hesitate for a moment. His answer was loud and clear. "Of course! Yesseca, that's exactly what I want!"
