My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Yesseca was quiet for a moment.

Did he mean that she could address him as Tremaine from now on?

Montez paced around the door anxiously.

"Why hasn't he come out yet? What's taking him so long?"

He was very nervous.

Was his father being careful with Yesseca as he applied the medicine on her?

Was Yesseca in so much pain that she wanted to cry?

His father hated crying. If Yesseca cried, his father would get very angry!

Yesseca would be terrified of him!

He had to protect Yesseca!

No matter how scarily his father would glare at him, he wouldn't run away!

Yesseca was his woman. If he didn't protect her, who would?

He rushed into the room, determined to meet his doom.

"Bang!"

He rushed right into someone's solid body.

Montez was dizzy from the impact and nearly fell to the ground. Luckily someone held him up in time.

Montez looked up and spotted a pair of coldlooking eyes.

They were Tremaine's eyes.

"Daddy." Montez looked pitiful.

"That was very hasty. Are you rushing to your death?" Tremaine asked coldly.

Montex stood there quietly.

"Montez." Yesseca called out to him.

Montez turned around right away and looked at Yesseca. He sensed the urgency in her voice. "Yesseca, you're alright, aren't you? You have no idea how worried I was about you. I've paced over two hundred rounds outside, worrying about you the entire time."

Yesseca's arm still hurt, but after hearing how worried Montez was, the pain disappeared. She laughed and said, "It's alright, I've applied some ointment on the wound, and your daddy said that there won't be any scars."

Montez's eyes lit up. "That's great."

Then Montez's stomach made a rumbling noise.

There was a brief silence

He blushed in embarrassment.

It was then that Yesseca remembered that the three of them hadn't eaten anything yet!

She was fine, but Montez was still a child. She couldn't let him starve!

Yesseca suggested, "Why don't we go out for a meal? I can't prepare any food for you tonight, so It'll be my treat!"

It was already quite late at night.

Yesseca had planned to invite them to a hotel for dinner, but they had changed their mind.

The night market was out tonight. Some of the best food items around town couldn't be found in a hotel, but on the roadside stalls found in the streets and alleyways.

Yesseca hesitated.

Montez wasn't the problem. She was worried about Tremaine. Could such a high profile person forgo his dignity and eat at a roadside stall?

Yesseca said this to herself.

She would suggest it anyway. Whether she would take them or not, was for Tremaine to decide. If he refused, she would take them to the hotel. Regardless, she had her money ready.

She didn't expect Tremaine to agree right away.

Yesseca couldn't believe it.

She said, "It's a roadside stall. It may not look like much, but the food is delicious!"

Tremaine hummed in agreement. "Hmm."

Yesseca took Tremaine and Montez to a roadside stall that sold barbecued meat.

This was the same stall that she and Lothar frequented.

Not only did their food taste good, but it was also much cleaner than the other food stalls.

Yesseca ordered a lot of food, all of which were their specialties.

This was Montez's first time eating barbecue. It was so delicious that he ate with his eyes closed in ecstasy. "Yesseca, this is my first time eating such delicious food. It's so good. How can there be such delicious food in this world?"

Yesseca was amused by his antics.

She had to say, "You're just exaggerating."

"It's true." Montez said earnestly, "It's really delicious. It tastes better than the ones in the hotel."

Yesseca fluttered her eyelashes proudly. She knew that the best food in town was found in the roadside stalls on the streets.

Unlike Montez, Tremaine didn't eat much.

Yesseca asked, "Not to your liking?"

"Yup."

"What do you like to eat then?"

"All food tastes the same to me. I'm just full."

Yesseca was speechless.

She asked, "Don't you have a favorite food? Something that you crave for? Something that gets your stomach growling?"

Tremaine squinted his eyes.

He gazed at her face, as though he could see right through her.

Yesseca felt guilty under his gaze.

She touched her own face. "Why are you looking at me like that? I asked if you have a favorite dish."

"Yes, I do."

"What is it?" Yesseca asked quickly.

Tremaine said knowingly. "You'll see."

Yesseca felt dizzy.

"Can't you just say it? Why do you have to be so mysterious about it?"

After he finished talking, he smiled quietly.

Yesseca was stunned by his subtle smile.

The moon was very bright tonight. It

looked like there was a thin layer of mist around him. With that subtle smile of his, he looked incredibly dashing.

Yesseca gulped.

"Wow, Tremaine's smile is really attractive."

It was unfortunate that his smile

was like ne

firework. As beautiful as it was, it only lasted for a moment

before it disappeared completely.

That handsome face turned cold yet again.

Yesseca felt very full at this point.

She imagined how nice it would be if Tremaine smiled like that more often.

After all, a man's smile was very lovely to look at.

She wanted to keep all the good-looking ones to herself.

"That's enough." She heard a cold voice suddenly.

Yesseca was shocked.

She thought that Tremaine had read her mind.

Yesseca looked up with a guilty conscience and realized that he wasn't talking to her. He was talking to Montez.

When she turned to look at Montez, Yesseca started laughing.

He had eaten way too much. Not only was his lips oily, but both of his chubby hands were covered in

oil as well.

He was still stuffing a skewer of meat into his mouth.

Tremaine grabbed the skewer from him.

Montez felt that this was very unfair.

"Daddy, why did you take my skewer away? If you want to eat them, then go get more yourself. Why did you have to steal mine?"

Tremaine squinted at Montez and said, "Since you sat down, you've eaten 88 skewers of meat. That's more than enough for you."

Montez stared blankly at him.

Yesseca was silently surprised at how much he could eat.

She noticed that Tremaine hadn't looked at Montez the entire time. How did he know how many skewers he had eaten?

Montez stuck out his tongue and said, "Fine, then I won't eat any more."

Yesseca could see that Montez couldn't eat another bite. After all, he had eaten so much already.

She stood up and said, "Montez, it's late. You need to go home and get ready for bed."

Although Montez was reluctant to leave, he followed them out.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Tremaine took Montez to Yesseca's apartment first.

When he arrived at her apartment, there was an unexpected incident.
