Chapter 2194
It was extremely busy on Preslie's side of things, hence Yesseca went over to help her out.
When Kylin noticed that Yesseca was no longer at the spot where she had been earlier, he continued his search for her. However, he caught sight of someone he didn't expect to see. Tremaine Quartley.
Kylin was staggered.
Tremaine and Sheldon stood in a corner.
A corner that didn't attract attention.
If it wasn't for the fact that Kylin was specifically going to look for Yesseca, he wouldn't have discovered Tremaine at all.
Since Tremaine's arrival here, his eyes were glued directly to Yesseca's figure like white on rice, unable to tear his gaze away for even a second.
Sheldon stood to the side.
He was in a good mood.
Sheldon's mood got complicated when he first followed Tremaine to this location. However, once he's actually there and witnessed the lively scene before him, together with the smiling faces of both Yesseca and Preslie, his mood had also unconsciously recovered itself. So much so that he totally forgot about Tremaine's existence, his focus all on Preslie as he watched her laugh until her eyes were but crescents on her face. It made Sheldon laugh foolishly along with her.
"Sheldon, she's very happy," Tremaine suddenly spoke up in a low voice.
It was only then did Sheldon put away the silly smile on his face.
He agreed seriously, "Yes, Miss Cowell is very happy."
The joyful smile on her face could not be faked.
"She left me, yet she could still be so happy." Tremaine voiced out with a bitter laugh.
On the other hand, when he himself left her, he was in so much pain that he wished he could die.
Up until now his pain had not reduced, not even by halves. It had only grown increasingly deeper.
Together with his longing for Yesseca.
Sheldon plucked up his courage after he thought long and hard to ask, "Mr. Tremaine, since you still have feelings for Miss Cowell, why don't you go to her directly?"
Tremaine was about to reply when someone suddenly appeared in front of them.
Kyi in Whitlock.
He peered at Tremaine with disgust and wariness, "What are you doing here? Today is a good day for Yesseca, what is the meaning of your presence here?"
Sheldon noted that Kyi in's words were harsh and was about to reprimand him. He was stopped, however, when he heard Tremaine cooly say a single sentence, "Sheldon, let's go." Sheldon:""
Since when did Mr. Tremaine have such a good temper?
As he saw that Tremaine was about to take his leave, Kyi in didn't say anything but continued to glare at him with vigilance.
After a few steps, Tremaine suddenly stopped.
He swept a glance towards Kyi in with a commanding look in his eyes. "Kyiin, remember, you better not have any wishful thinking about Yesseca."
Kylin was so angry that he laughed.
"Tremaine, you were the one who didn't want Yesseca anymore and drove her out of Nashaland. Yet here you are saying that you won't allow anyone to like her? You're being rather overbearing!"
Tremaine stared straight at Kylin. "If I found out that you did something to her, I will not hesitate to have you removed."
With that said, Tremaine didn't bother with him anymore and promptly left.
In the car, Sheldon broached the topic once more that had been interrupted by Kylin earlier. He cautiously asked, "Mr. Tremaine, what are your thoughts about Miss Cowell now? From how I look at it, you seem to still have feelings for her. In that case, why don't you just go and clear the air with her?
"It isn't the right time yet." Tremaine closed his eyes.
Sheldon:".."
He sighed in his heart.
It wasn't the right time yet?
Mr. Tremaine was about to get married to Qiana. Could it be that he had planned to look for Yesseca after his wedding?
That couldn't be it.
He wasn't that sort of character.
Sheldon knew Tremaine. He would not betray his wife. Even if he had no feelings for her, once he tied the knot with her, he would definitely stay faithful to their marriage. Then what was Mr. Tremaine thinking about?
Sheldon couldn't make heads or tails about it. All he could do was pressed onto the accelerator and drove the car away.
It was almost noon before the crowd finally dispersed.
Selina had already gone to the store to help Yesseca calculate their earnings. She wanted to see the total number of people who had splashed out their money that morning. Matthew had also gone to help, only to be pushed out by Selina.
She said that it was a woman's business, hence men had to step back.
Matthew left with a chuckle.
As soon as he came out, he saw Kylin walk over with a frown on his face.
A glint of suspicion sparked within Matthew's eyes.
Previously, Kylin had still been very happy. Why had that changed to gloominess within an instant?
He smiled towards him and asked, "Is something the matter? Don't tell me you really thought that your sister and I had problems and that's why you're all down in the dumps?"
Kyi in's mind was churning heavily with his thoughts. It was only when Matthew talked to him that he found himself in front of him.
Kylin scanned the area around them. When he was assured that Selina wasn't around, he revealed, "Matthew, I saw Tremaine just now."
Matthew was dumbstruck.
"He stood there from the very start and it was only after I discovered him that he left. Matthew, I'm worried that he had bad intentions." Kylin fretted. Matthew contemplated this with an intent look.
Bad intentions.
He doubted it.
On the contrary, Tremaine's appearance had proven some of his assumptions.
Now they just need to wait for the day of Tremaine's wedding.
Matthew patted Kylin on the shoulder. "Maybe it's a coincidence that he appeared here. Don't think too much about it."
"How can I not think about it?" Kylin exclaimed, "Yesseca was hurt to this point because of him. Before, she almost went out of her mind for that reason and now that she's able to get past that period after such a hard time of it, he appeared again. Is he trying to hurt her once more?"
Kyi in's face was flushed red with anger as he expressed his grievances furiously.
Matthew knew Kylin was concerned about Yesseca.
"This is Agaphen City, not his place of domain. It won't be easy for him if he wanted to bring harm upon Yesseca. What's more, it's still uncertain whether he really did want to hurt her. You need not be this anxious." he comforted. Kylin clenched his fists. "If he still wants to hurt Yesseca, I won't forgive him!"
When he saw how Kylin, who had always been gentle-tempered, had become vicious, Matthew sighed slightly in his heart.
Kylin was truly genuine towards Yesseca.
However, he was afraid that he would end up with nothing in the end if it was pure genuinity alone.
The amount of money that Yesseca's store had earned had been calculated.
It was a number that neither Yesseca nor Preslie had dared to imagine.
Preslie's hands were shaking as she remarked in disbelief, "Yesseca, is this for real? Is there really so much money? These people had really invested this much money on our store. I'm not dreaming, am I?" Yesseca herself was somewhat dizzy from the revelation.
There were a lot of people that morning who didn't give her a moment to stop for a break. She knew their earnings won't be a small sum, but she had never expected it to be this much.
Selina was the only calm one amongst the three of them.
"Don't be silly, you two." she
admonished with a smile. "They just
placed their deposit, when the time comes you would still need to spend it on them. Now, you both need to quickly bake more desserts, otherwise there would be nothing for them to consume."
Yesseca came back to her senses at Selina's words.
"Yes, my sister is right. These people really trusted us. Even though our store was just opened for business, they were willing to invest their
money into our store. For that
reason, we must not let the
customers down! We must make desserts that's more delicious than the others in order to repay the trust these customers had in us!"
