"Why are you refusing to go out with him then?" Selina asked.
Yesseca was in a tough position.
What should she tell Selina? She felt that she could not explain it.
"Yesseca, tell me the truth, is it because of Tremaine?" Right then, Selina was wearing a grave expression on her face.
Hearing this, Yesseca panicked.
She felt shaken as she said, "How could that be? How could I refuse Kyi in for Tremaine? There's nothing between him and me..."
She sounded flustered and in a hurry to make things clear.
Hearing her words, Selina stared right into her eyes as if she was trying to see her true feelings. "Are you sure?"
"That's right."
With that, Selina sighed with relief, "I have to tell you. The responsibility to look after you is now on me since Lothar isn't with us anymore. However, there is no way for me to care for you in every aspect. You need a man who can spend his life with you, and the best candidate for that is Kylin. I'm not lying. You will be happy if you get together with him. Plus, he is my cousin. If you two were to be married, we would be relatives. Isn't that great? What do you say?"
It was a great thing.
Even Yesseca couldn't deny it.
She nodded subconsciously.
Seeing her reaction, Selina was delighted. "That's settled then. You should give him a chance."
Just then, Yesseca was speechless.
She quickly said, "Selina, I didn't say I would give him a chance."
"But you nodded and agreed with me." Selina pretended to be confused.
"But that's not what I meant."
Patting her hand, Selina said, "Alright, alright. Let's leave things here. You don't have to say more. It's settled already."
Selina rendered Yesseca speechless.
Just as Yesseca wanted to explain, someone came over.
It was Matthew.
He was in a black coat. He brought in a burst of cold air as he came in with a bag of sour cream pudding.
Seeing Yesseca, he smiled and said, "It's good to see you, Yesseca."
Yesseca immediately stood up and greeted him, "You too, Matthew."
"We are a family, so you don't have to be so polite." Matthew opened the bag and took out the pudding, saying, "Have some. I happened to get some."
Yesseca was uneasy to have them as these were Selina's pregnancy cravings. Selina noticed Yesseca frozen in place. She extended a spoonful of pudding and fed it to Yesseca, asking, "Is it good?"
The sour cream pudding was sweet and sour. It had a unique flavour, but it was delicious.
Yesseca nodded.
Selina said, "I'll ask Kyi in to buy some for you."
Yesseca immediately said, "There is no need for that. Really..."
Before she could finish his words, Selina had fed her another spoonful of pudding, stopping her.
Soon, the pudding was gone.
Matthew asked Yesseca if she had been experiencing any abnormalities recently or having any more nightmares.
Yesseca shook her head and said, "Not anymore. I haven't had any more nightmares since that night, nor have I seen anything unusual."
"That's good to hear." Matthew said gently, "If there is anything, call us immediately, okay?"
Nodding, Yesseca said, "Thank you for worrying about me."
"It's fine." Selina said, "Yesseca, you are a sister to me. It's only natural for us to look out for you. You don't have to thank us."
Yesseca felt a warm current flowing through her heart.
Selina was kind to her, and she could feel her sincerity.
Yesseca felt lucky. Even though Lothar was no longer here, she still had someone who treated her as her sister.
Yesseca thought of the words that Selina had just said to her.
After all, Selina was doing this much just to see her happily married to someone who loved her.
Things would not go wrong if she went out with Kyi in as he was the man Selina had chosen for her. Plus, it was great if they did become true relatives.
Perhaps, she should give Kyi in a chance.
However, she still found herself hesitant.
