Yesseca immediately felt a warmth in her heart.
At this moment, Selina came back.
She said, "Yesseca, it's getting late. I'll have Matthew send you back later."
Matthew said, "There's no need. Someone will come to pick her up."
Selina was slightly surprised to hear that. She asked, "Do you mean Tremaine?"
Hearin her words, Yesseca nodded as she lowered her head. A tint of pink crept to her face as she smiled.
Seeing her expression, Selina felt a surge of emotions.
On the one hand, she was happy.
After all, she was glad to know how close Yesseca and Tremaine were.
On the one hand, she felt sad.
It was because she was reminded of Kylin.
With the two emotions mixed, she felt hatred for herself.
It was all her fault.
If she had not tried to match make Yesseca and
Kylin, this wouldn't have happened.
Just as she was sulking in remorse, she felt a large hand on hers.
She looked up.
It was Matthew who held her hand, and he was looking gently at her.
She knew that he saw through her thoughts.
Ever since Yesseca went to Nashaland, Selina had been blaming herself. If it weren't for Matthew, who had always been there for her, she didn't know what would become of her.
Just then, she nodded at him.
With Yesseca around, she couldn't say much.
So she could only express her gratitude using her eyes.
Without words, she told him not to worry about her as she wouldn't let herself dwell on it.
He smiled and patted her face.
Tremaine had planned to go to Agaphen City after a short rest at Quartley Palace.
But he couldn't stay any longer.
After waiting for a few minutes, he got up and boarded the private jet.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived in Agaphen City.
And he went straight to the Perry family residence.
He didn't go in directly.
Yesseca must be chatting with Selina, so he decided to wait outside.
After dinner, Selina brought Yesseca to the living room to chat more.
As they chatted, Selina felt like she had lost the senses on her tongue.
Out of the blue, she was craving for something sour.
Well, this was what it meant to be pregnant.
Matthew immediately said, "I'll get it for you right away."
However, Selina replied, "It's okay. Just get the servants to get it. You've been running about all this time."
He smiled, "It's alright. It's gratifying to be able to put a smile on your face. You'll be able to see my sincerity when you eat it too."
Just then, she blushed from his words.
After a while, he left.
When he left, Yesseca said, "Doesn't Matthew have such a silver tongue?"
There was a smile on Selina's face. "I agree. He's so good at handling me. He knows just the right words to say."
After a pause, she asked, "Does Tremaine coax you when you're feeling down?"
Yesseca smiled dryly.
Tremaine?
If only Tremaine had learned from Matthew, there would not be any conflicts between them.
When Tremaine finished his words, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He turned to look at Matthew.
However, Matthew looked calm.
Tremaine thought it was no wonder he would think so highly of Matthew.
Matthew was an intelligent man, and he knew his way around words.
Tremaine said in a low voice, "Don't worry. There's nothing between her and me. I am just accompanying her out of courtesy."
He had to explain as he knew that Matthew saw Yesseca as his relative.
Matthew was like a brother to Yesseca, meaning he would be his brother-in-law if he were to marry Yesseca.
Matthew smiled and said, "I believe in you."
Tremaine was satisfied to hear this from him.
He nodded and said, "You have to believe in me. Do you think I would fall for someone like Navidia? Impossible. She doesn't even meet any of my standards."
Matthew was rendered speechless.
Although he hadn't seen Navidia before, he'd heard of Navidia's beauty and her mesmerizing eyes. He never expected such words from Tremaine.
Hah! He really was something.
Matthew replied, "Although I believe in you, I am not the one who needs your reassurance but Yesseca. She has always been sensitive, and it might be better if you don't be so blunt to her. Take it slow, and she'll come to understand."
"But she trusts me," Tremaine said firmly.
He said so because the call with Yesseca earlier ago had made him believe that Yesseca had faith in him.
Matthew smiled wryly in his heart.
Tremaine was bright and had become the president at such a young age. However, he was not so good at navigating relationships. It seemed he was a fool in it.
Therefore, Matthew went straight to the point, "You're wrong."
And of course, Tremaine was stunned.
What did Matthew mean by wrong?
What had he done wrong?
