The expression and wicked smile on his face made her heart beat wildly. Her face had turned red so quickly, anyone would notice.
She was wondering what to say.
But she couldn't even open her mouth.
And his handsome face was getting closer...
Suddenly, at a very critical moment, the phone rang.
Yesseca looked at her phone.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
That phone call came just in time.
Yesseca quickly grabbed her phone. "It's my phone. I'm going to answer it."
Tremaine looked at her quietly.
He furrowed his brows deeply. "Who would be so blind as to call at a time like this?"
"Montez." Yesseca called out in joyful surprise.
"Yesseca, I've missed you!"
Even though Yesseca didn't turn on her speakerphone, Tremaine was able to hear their conversation. Perhaps it was because Yesseca's cell phone wasn't getting good reception, or maybe it was because the room was very quiet.
Tremaine's lips twitched.
Because that blind person was his son.
"I've missed you too."
Hearing Montez's adorable voice, Yesseca felt her heart melt.
Montez then whispered, "Yesseca, I have something to tell you."
Tremaine had a bad feeling about what Montez was about to say.
Yesseca replied, "Yes, go ahead."
Still whispering, "My dad isn't at home. I don't think he's coming back tonight. Yesseca, can I come over to your house and see you? I want to sleep with you tonight."
Yesseca was quiet.
She turned around to look at Tremaine, only to see that he was already staring at her.
She gulped.
Tremaine's eyes looked very insistent.
Yesseca braced herself and said, "Montez, you'd better not."
She couldn't let Montez know that his father was at her house. That would be difficult to explain.
"Why not? That grumpy monster isn't here to scare me tonight. I'm coming to see you." Montez sounded very determined.
Tremaine's face darkened when he heard his son call him a 'grumpy monster.'
Yesseca smiled wryly and said, "Montez, I have some things to do, so I can't accompany you tonight. Well do it next time."
That wasn't a lie, she really couldn't have him over.
Although Montez was a child, he was also courteous. Having heard Yesseca's reply, he didn't insist but said regretfully, "Well then, Yesseca, that's a real pity. It's not easy to have a day where my dad isn't around."
Having said that, Montez suddenly paused. "Yesseca, do you know where my daddy went?"
Yesseca was alarmed at his question.
Montez added, "I did ask him as he left, but he didn't say. So I followed him secretly. He didn't head towards the White Feather Palace, so that means he didn't go to work."
White Feather Palace?
Yesseca was stunned.
What kind of place was that?
Yesseca guessed that was probably where Tremaine worked.
Montez continued, "Usually, Daddy goes over to the White Feather Palace at night. Where else do you think he might have gone?"
"I... I don't know." Yesseca sounded extremely awkward.
There was nothing going on between her and Tremaine, but for some reason, she felt that she couldn't tell anyone that he was at her house. She would feel terribly embarrassed for some reason if that happened.
