Yesseca gave Tremaine a bright smile when her eyes landed on him.
Whenever Yesseca smiled, Tremaine always thought and felt that her smile was the most beautiful in the world, but somehow her smile that evening didn't sit right with Tremaine.
He immediately said to Yesseca, "Yesseca, I still have some work to do. I might be a bit busy. You can go to bed first, I'll sleep later."
Saying that, Tremaine wanted to run away, but Yesseca grabbed Tremaine's hand.
Yesseca was still smiling.
But in Tremaine's eyes, it seemed that she was wearing a fake smile. "No matter how busy you are with work, you still need to have dinner. You haven't had dinner, have you?"
Alarm bells in Tremaine's mind began to ring more.
He immediately said, "I've had dinner in the office."
"Oh." Yesseca said, "Then, let's have some dessert."
Tremaine felt a warning bell ring in his head.
"No, thanks. I'm going to work."
"No, I made it specially for you. You can work after you eat it." Yesseca dragged Tremaine into the dining room.
As soon as he entered the dining room, Tremaine was stunned.
In front of him was a huge cream cake.
Seeing the thick cream on it, Tremaine felt his stomach rolling.
Yesseca smiled and said to Tremaine, "Eat. When you finish this cake, you can go back to work. You are tired every day and need some strength and sweetness. Eating this cake can help you replenish your energy."
"Can I not eat it?"
"No."
"Well, I don't care. I won't eat it regardless," Tremaine said.
Yesseca still had a smile on her face. "Tremaine, you said that I shouldn't punish myself for others' mistakes, so I decided not to punish myself and baked a cake for you. If you don't eat it, I will continue to be angry at you."
Tremaine was speechless.
Thinking of Yesseca's angry expression, Tremaine felt a knot in his chest.
Although he hated eating cream cake, Tremaine would rather eat a whole tonne of it than have Yesseca be angry at him.
Otherwise, she would be angry at him and unwilling to sleep in the same bed with him.
If she didn't sleep with him, how would he endure the rest of the long, lonely nights?
Besides, he was already used to the nights of sleeping with Yesseca in his arms.
It was really uncomfortable not to sleep with Yesseca in his arms.
"Okay, I'll eat it!" Tremaine gritted his teeth and said that.
Yesseca took a step back and extended her hand dramatically. "Please!"
Twenty minutes later, Tremaine finished eating the huge cream cake.
Tremaine's face had changed completely.
He gritted his teeth and said to Yesseca, "Yesseca, you win!"
After that, Tremaine strode out of the dining room.
The cream was so greasy that he had to make dozens of cups of strong tea to ease his stomach.
After Tremaine left, Yesseca finally couldn't help laughing.
Seeing how Tremaine ate the cake in pain without a choice, Yesseca finally felt so much better.
Yesseca walked out of the dining room.
She prepared to make some tea for Tremaine as she knew that he couldn't stand the greasiness of the cream cake.
She'd bought some tea that day.
It was bought for Tremaine.
Although Yesseca wanted Tremaine to suffer, she didn't want him to be in torment too long. So, she decided to brew him some tea to ease his distaste of the cream cake.
As soon as Yesseca walked out of the dining room, the phone rang.
Yesseca glanced at her phone and saw that it was a call from Selina.
