Chapter 1715
Essie was standing by her door.
Most of the time, food delivery people were men. That was what Yesseca thought.
Essie entered Yesseca's room and closed the door.
Yesseca snapped back to reality.
She was short of breath. "Essie, are you okay?"
"No," Essie replied coldly.
She rolled up her sleeves and pants. There were bloodstains everywhere.
Yesseca didn't dare to look.
Essie came closer. "Terrifying, isn't it?"
Yesseca's throat felt dry.
Essie said coldly, "This is what Matthew did. He almost killed me. Yesseca, I almost died by his hands!"
Yesseca did not reply.
She didn't even defend Matthew.
She had experienced a near moment of death.
If Essie hadn't pushed her down, she might have been shot in the chest.
"Essie, thank you for saving me," said Yesseca.
Essie's face was still cold. "You really should be thanking me. You almost killed me, but I saved you."
A guilty expression appeared on Yesseca's face. "I'm sorry. I didn't know I was followed."
Essie sneered, "Yesseca, you've been used by Matthew. You call him your brother-in-law but he used you, and even wanted to kill you. Yesseca, it was your own brother-in-law, the person you trust the most." Yesseca didn't say anything.
Essie added, "That's right, Selina appears to be a person of virtue as well. The truth is, they're hypocrites. Everything they portray to you is fake, Yesseca, please see them for who they truly are!" Yesseca's eyes were filled with emotions.
After a long time, she suddenly said, "Essie, can you let me see my brother?"
"You want to see your brother?" Essie raised her voice.
Yesseca nodded.
The smile on Essie's lips became sinister. "Then give the medicine to Selina."
Yesseca went to her bedroom.
She took out the little bottle.
"Can I see my brother if I give her this?"
Essie stared into Yesseca's eyes.
Yesseca had changed.
Back then, she would straightforwardly refuse to give this to Selina, but now, she was wavering. Essie could tell that Yesseca was changing her mind.
Essie lowered her voice and said, "Yes, you can see your brother if you give this to her. You will see your brother, healthy and alive. You're just taking what you deserve from Selina, you're not doing anything wrong." Yesseca was breathing rapidly.
After a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind and spit out, "I'll give it to her. I'll take back what's owed to my brother."
That night, Yesseca went to visit the Perry family home.
Kyi in was not there.
When Selina saw Yesseca, she immediately asked what had happened between her and Kylin. She looked worried. "This morning, I felt like something was off about Kylin. He was distracted when I talked to him." Erine added in, "That's right. Mr. Kylin is usually very polite to us servants, but today he didn't seem to pay any attention to us. He left very early in the morning."
Yesseca lowered her head as she looked at Selina and Erine. "I don't know anything about that."
Selina requested Erine to accompany Yesseca while she made a phone call to Kylin.
She told Kylin that Yesseca was with her.
"Yesseca is there?" Kyi in's voice, which had sounded emotionless, suddenly became more energetic.
"Yes, so you'd better come back soon," urged Selina.
Kylin was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'm not coming back."
Selina was shocked. "Why not?"
She thought Kylin would immediately return when he heard that Yesseca was around.
Kyi in's throat was dry. "Selina, did Yesseca tell you she wanted me to come back?"
He already knew the answer, but he still had to ask.
Selina hesitated for a moment.
After Yesseca had arrived at the Perry family home, she didn't mention Kylin at all.
Selina hesitated and said, "Yes, she must miss you. She definitely wanted to see you when she visited the Rerry family. You didn't pick her up, that's why she missed you."
Kylin felt like his throat was dry.
He didn't pick her up because Yesseca didn't want him to pick her up.
But he didn't want to tell Selina about this.
Kylin said, "I have some things to take care of. You take your time. I'll go first. Don't worry about me." Selina muttered, "Why are you so busy?"
Kylin said, "I have plenty of time to meet Yesseca tonight. Let's talk about it after I'm done with my work." Selina thought for a while and said, "Sure, go ahead. I'll have dinner with Yesseca first."
After Kylin hung up the phone, his eyes drifted to a book on the bookshelf.
He'd stayed in the bookstore all day that day.
He kept reading books from the same genre.
A young female clerk in the distance had been observing Kylin for some time.
He had been in the bookstore for a day. The clerk noticed him because of how attractive he looked.
She paid more attention to him after she saw the book he was reading.
Kylin had read all the books on how to make your girlfriend happy and safe.
The female clerk was a little confused.
For someone who looked like him, he would definitely have no shortage of women going after him. Why would he need to read books like these?
It was already getting late. The bookstore was about to close.
Apart from Kylin, there was no other customer in the store.
And it seemed that he had no intention of leaving.
The female clerk gave it some thought and walked forward. She politely said, "Excuse me, sir. We're going to close soon."
Kylin put down the book in his hand.
He had not realized how fast time had flown by.
He had bought several books.
He had already finished reading everything he needed, but he needed to buy a few books to make sure that the bookstore still made some business.
When he was paying the bill, the
female clerk asked curiously, "Sir that's an interesting book that you're reading. Does a man like you need to make your girlfriend happy?"
Kyi in glanced at the clerk and asked in a gentle voice, "Why should I not?"
The female clerk looked at Kyi in's words and said with a smile, "Sir you're an attractive man. I'm sure whomever that is with you is very happy. You don't need to read
something this."
Kyi in was deep in thought.
After a while, he smiled at the clerk and said, "Thank you."
She was fascinated by his smile.
When Kylin left, all she could think about, was if she had such a boyfriend, even if she had nothing else, she would be happy.
Selina wanted to get more food.
Just as she was about to get up, Yesseca suddenly took her plate. "Let me do it."
