He couldn't bring himself to eat anymore.
Getting down from the chair, Montez said, "Yesseca, I wish you two all the happiness in the world. I... I won't be attending the wedding, but promise me you'll be happy..."
Montez dashed off once he was done.
Yesseca was about to chase after him when Kyi in stopped her. "Yesseca, don't go after him. Let him be."
After that, Kyi in pointed outside.
Through the window, Yesseca saw Montez getting into the car that was waiting outside.
It was the Quartley family's car.
It was the same car that had dropped Montez off.
Yesseca was relieved.
Montez was probably heading home.
"I don't know why he's this upset because I'm getting married," said Yesseca softly.
Kyi in handed Yesseca a glass of warm water. "He must like you very much, and he cares deeply for you."
Yesseca accepted the water.
She looked at Kylin gratefully. "Thank you for being so kind to Montez today."
Kylin had not teased nor mocked Montez. Instead, he'd been perfectly polite and had treated him like an adult.
"No worries." Kylin smiled at Yesseca. "We are soon to be married, what's there to thank?"
Yesseca was a little embarrassed.
Kylin added, "I will send you back later. You should have a good rest these two days. You'll be a bride soon."
"What about you?" Yesseca asked.
"I still need to sort out some wedding details."
"You planned the whole wedding on your own. I didn't help in any way," said Yesseca with a pang of guilt.
Kyi in's voice was gentle. "Yesseca, there is no need for you to do anything. You just need to get ready to be a bride."
He paused for a moment. "Get some rest and promise me you'll be the most beautiful bride, my beautiful bride."
Yesseca nodded. "Okay."
The next day, Preslie came to look for Yesseca.
Having nothing to do on her day off, she chose to hang out with Yesseca.
Selina turned up shortly after.
Selina had brought a beautician along as well as a variety of skincare products.
She looked a little shamefaced, saying, "It only occurred to me last night that you have to look your best on your wedding day. There's no way you can miss out on skincare! It's a little late, but we can still do some last-minute glow-ups."
Yesseca didn't know what to say.
She'd turned Selina's offer down repeatedly, but she was as stubborn as a mule. Yesseca had no choice but to agree.
Later, the beautician began to work on Yesseca's face while Preslie watched.
She was very envious.
It was not that she was envious of Yesseca being able to go through a spa day before her wedding. Instead, she was envious of her having such a wonderful sister.
Preslie had a sister who only knew how to mock and laugh at her.
When Yesseca had a face mask applied on her, Selina enthusiastically invited Preslie to join in on
the fun.
She'd brought more than enough products for Yesseca to use. They would probably last her a whole year.
Preslie hastily refused.
However, Selina said, "You're going to be Yesseca's bridesmaid, aren't you? Don't be shy, you have to look your best as well."
Preslie felt flattered.
She hadn't expected to be treated so well.
At the same time, she felt a little awkward.
