My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



The expression and wicked smile on his face made her heart beat wildly. Her face had turned red so quickly, anyone would notice. She was wondering what to say.

But she couldn't even open her mouth.

And his handsome face was getting closer...

Suddenly, at a very critical moment, the phone rang.

Yesseca looked at her phone.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

That phone call came just in time.

Yesseca quickly grabbed her phone. "It's my phone. I'm going to answer it."

Tremaine looked at her quietly.

He furrowed his brows deeply. "Who would be so blind as to call at a time like this?"

"Montez." Yesseca called out in joyful surprise.

"Yesseca, I've missed you!"

Even though Yesseca didn't turn on her speakerphone, Tremaine was able to hear their conversation. Perhaps it was because Yesseca's cell phone wasn't getting good reception, or maybe it was because the room was very quiet.

Tremaine's lips twitched.

Because that blind person was his son.

"I've missed you too."

Hearing Montez's adorable voice, Yesseca felt her heart melt.

Montez then whispered, "Yesseca, I have something to tell you."

Tremaine had a bad feeling about what Montez was about to say.

Yesseca replied, "Yes, go ahead."

Still whispering, "My dad isn't at home. I don't think he's coming back tonight. Yesseca, can I come over to your house and see you? I want to sleep with you tonight."

Yesseca was quiet.

She turned around to look at Tremaine, only to see that he was already staring at her.

She gulped.

Tremaine's eyes looked very insistent.

Yesseca braced herself and said, "Montez, you'd better not."

She couldn't let Montez know that his father was at her house. That would be difficult to explain.

"Why not? That grumpy monster isn't here to scare me tonight. I'm coming to see you." Montez sounded very determined.

Tremaine's face darkened when he heard his son call him a 'grumpy monster.'

Yesseca smiled wryly and said, "Montez, I have some things to do, so I can't accompany you tonight. Well do it next time."

That wasn't a lie, she really couldn't have him over.

Although Montez was a child, he was also courteous. Having heard Yesseca's reply, he didn't insist but said regretfully, "Well then, Yesseca, that's a real pity. It's not easy to have a day where my dad isn't around."

Having said that, Montez suddenly paused. "Yesseca, do you know where my daddy went?"

Yesseca was alarmed at his question.

Montez added, "I did ask him as he left, but he didn't say. So I followed him secretly. He didn't head towards the White Feather Palace, so that means he didn't go to work."

White Feather Palace?

Yesseca was stunned.

What kind of place was that?

Yesseca guessed that was probably where Tremaine worked.

Montez continued, "Usually, Daddy goes over to the White Feather Palace at night. Where else do you think he might have gone?"

"I... I don't know." Yesseca sounded extremely awkward.

There was nothing going on between her and Tremaine, but for some reason, she felt that she couldn't tell anyone that he was at her house. She would feel terribly embarrassed for some reason if that happened.

"Yesseca, you really don't know?"

"I really don't." Yesseca felt even more embarrassed.

She looked over at Tremaine

pleadingly. She hoped that he would help her think of a way to deal with Montez. But she only found him

calmly looking at her with no

intention of helping.

Yesseca gritted her teeth.

Tremaine was incorrigible!

He was the one who came over tonight, unannounced, which caused Montez to call her. Yet he wasn't going to help her with this.

This was just too much!

A thought then popped into Montez's head. "Yesseca, my daddy wouldn't have gone out to have an affair, would he!"

Yesseca was quiet.

Her face was as red as a tomato.

Tremaine's eyes were filled with a different kind of emotion.

Yesseca looked away from Tremaine.

She took a deep breath. "Montez, what are you talking about? You shouldn't be talking about such things at your age."

Montez replied adamantly, "It's true. On TV, they say that when men go out at night, if they aren't going to work, that means they are having a love affair."

Yesseca was silent.

She was about to cry.

"My daddy has been acting weird

lately." Montez then added,

"Recently, I've caught him laughing, out loud, which is something I've never seen before. Every time he

laughs, it scares me to death

Do

you know that every time the grumpy monster laughs, it creeps people out, and I get creeped out too..."

Yesseca had been embarrassed at first, but now she wanted to laugh.

"Don't you think you're overexaggerating a little?" Yesseca replied.

"It's true though." Montez voiced out clearly. "Yesseca, he's like a demon who never laughs, but now suddenly does. Don't you think people would be terrified to see a laughingo demon?"

Yesseca had a very vivid mental image of Montez's metaphor.

She replied passively, "That's true."

As soon as she said that, she felt an extremely cold pair of eyes staring at her.

She shivered.

"Aachoo!"

Montez spoke with some concern. "Yesseca, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

Yesseca wanted to reply, but it felt like she had a thorn stuck in her back.

She knew it would be best not to pursue this topic any further.

Besides, Tremaine was probably furious by now.

It would not be good for this cold-blooded man to get angry.

Yesseca forced out a smile and said, "Montez, I still have plenty to do. I have to go now. Well talk another time."

Montez answered sadly, "Ok, Yesseca, please don't stay up too late, get some rest."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Okay, I will."

"I really miss you, Yesseca."

"Me too." "Beep beep beep."

After hanging up the phone, Yesseca felt a very suffocating aura surrounding her from top to bottom.

She knew that it was Tremaine. He was looking down at her.

"Grumpy? Monster? Demon?" A faint voice whispered into Yesseca's ears.

Yesseca was quiet.

She laughed awkwardly. "That's just a childish joke, no need to take it so seriously."

Just as she said that, Yesseca felt her chin being pulled upwards.

Yesseca was forced to look at Tremaine.

"Eh?" When she met his gaze, a strange feeling erupted in her heart.

This, this wasn't right.
