Chapter 1593

Normally, Tremaine would have been furious by her conversation with Montez. But when she saw his face, he didn't seem very angry at all.

In fact, Yesseca could have sworn that he looked kind of playful.

She wasn't sure if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

"Montez is a child, you say?" Tremaine slightly parted his thin lips. "But you're an adult."

Yesseca cursed at herself.

She remembered that Tremaine held grudges.

This was because she had agreed with Montez's remark about him over the phone.

The smile on Yesseca's lips began to waver. "Mr. Quartley, in Montez's and my point-of-view, calling you a devil is a compliment. It's just our way of relating to your devilishly good looks."

Tremaine found this response rather satisfactory.

"Is this true?"

"Yes! Yes it is!" Yesseca nodded her head earnestly.

Tremaine smiled briefly.

He knew exactly what Yesseca was doing, but didn't intend to expose her.

Her attempt to appeal to his good graces really did appease his temper.

Tremaine put down his hand. "Go to sleep."

He could see the dark circles around her eyes and decided not to tease her anymore.

Yesseca looked at him quietly.

Was he really just going to let her go to bed? Just like that?

"So you'll leave then?" Yesseca asked.

"No." Tremaine looked behind her at something in the distance and said, "I'll stay and guard you, just for tonight. Whether it was a nightmare or someone causing trouble, I'll figure it out by tonight." Yesseca's heart jolted.

Wasn't she just having nightmares? It didn't sound like it based on what Tremaine said.

"Does he know something I don't?"

She gasped. "Mr. Quartley, what do you mean? Aren't I just having nightmares? Have you found something?"
