Lothar had already made up his mind.
He did not hesitate for even a single moment. "Do what you like, I still won't betray Selina."
"Terrific, you'd better wait and see." After finishing his words, Reid directly hung up the phone.
Holding the phone, Lothar's fingers trembled.
After a moment, Lothar put his phone back in his pocket.
It was nothing big, at most he would just get his head chopped off, or just directly get killed.
Both himself and Yesseca owed Selina a big favor, and he would never stab Selina in the back.
After calming himself down, Lothar went upstairs.
Yesseca opened the door for Lothar.
Lothar held the box in his hand high up and said, "Yesseca, look what I bought for you."
Yesseca's eyes immediately lit up when she saw the take out box. "Pickled mangoes! My favorite!"
Lothar had a smile on his face. "Yes it is."
"Lothar, I cooked some food as well, let's eat everything together."
"All right."
Yesseca went to set up the table.
Lothar was still in a daze.
What was coming would come.
He had thought that he could escape.
He had thought that Reid would forget and never call him again.
Little did he expect that he would receive a phone call from Reid on this day.
He knew that Reid's threat during the call was definitely not a false one.
He had heard some things about Reid, and he too knew Reid's means of doing things.
Reid would surely find a way to deal with Lothar, and he might even take his life.
Lothar thought that it was high time to gird his loins.
If he lost his life, what would happen to Yesseca then? Could she take good care of herself and live a good life?
Lothar cast a glance at Yesseca.
Yesseca was there, serving the dishes at the dining table.
He thought that she probably could. After all, Yesseca wasn't ill now that she had had her surgery done, and she could stand on her two feet
now.
He also believed that if he was really gone, Selina would probably help Yesseca out a little, and Yesseca wouldn't live too much of a difficult life.
Lothar felt at ease.
One had to pay the price for doing wrong things. He had accepted Reid's offer that time because of Yesseca.
Now that Yesseca was all cured, it was time for him to clear the overdue payment of his sin.
"Lothar, come and eat." Yesseca smiled at Lothar.
"Okay, let's eat." Lothar took his seat.
"Try out the dishes I've prepared." Yesseca put some food onto Lothar's plate.
Lothar took a bite of it. "This is delicious."
Yesseca smiled brightly.
She was a very optimistic person. After finding out about Lothar's actual situation, she had been quite depressed for a while, but very soon she was all fine again.
A day would still pass, be it a happy day or not. Why not choose to make every single day a happy one then?
Yesseca knew very well that being sorrowful was nothing but useless.
She also believed that as long as she tried hard, there would surely be better days to come.
"Yesseca, I have something to talk to you about." Lothar suddenly spoke.
"I have something to tell you as well."
"Then go ahead."
"No, you go ahead first."
Lothar cleared his throat and said, "Yesseca, I don't think that it's a good idea for you to be cooped up at home for the whole day. It would be better if you find a job."
He could support Yesseca for a lifetime, but now that Reid was threatening to take his life, woe might betide him at any minute. Yesseca must have a job for a stable source of income.
Yesseca's lips curled up. "Lothar, it's exactly what I have in mind. I was thinking so as well, and I was going to tell you that I am planning to look for a job."
Lothar felt much more relaxed. "Now, isn't that good."
The two of them continued on eating.
After finishing his food, Lothar waved his hand at Yesseca. "C'mere, Yesseca."
