My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

She quickly explained, "You've got it all wrong. He's just a friend of mine. He has a son."

The landlady said regretfully, "Well, that's a shame."

Yesseca walked over to Tremaine's table with the plate of pancakes.

She placed the plate on the table. "What are you thinking about? You look very solemn this morning."

Tremaine snapped out of his train of thought and spotted her small fair face in front of him.

"It's nothing."

Yesseca handed a set of cutlery to him and said, "Here it is. Eat up, then go home to get some sleep. You must be exhausted. You stayed with me all night."

He had stayed overnight at her place. Yesseca actually felt moved and also quite guilty.

But she wasn't very good at talking, and didn't know how to compliment him.

"It's fine." Tremaine picked up a knife and fork.

He took a bite out of his pancakes.

The taste was nothing special to him. This was normal. Everything tasted the same to him.

For him, food existed to simply fill up his stomach and maintain his body's necessary functions.

"Is it delicious?" Yesseca asked.

Tremaine was about to say "it's just normal" when he noticed the expectation in Yesseca's eyes.

He decided to change his answer.

"It's delicious."

Yesseca laughed. She had a very proud smile on her face, "I told you it's delicious. You can tell just by looking at the place. I'm never wrong about these kinds of things."

Seeing how happy Yesseca was, Tremaine's mood lightened up.

After they had breakfast, Yesseca told Tremaine to go home.

"You have to go home and get some sleep. I won't need to be at work so soon. You don't need to wait for me."

"I'm fine." Tremaine looked up at the sky.

The weather today was very nice.

"Let's go. The weather is very nice today."

Yesseca blinked.

Did he want to take a walk?

"You really don't want to get some sleep?"

"No, I don't."

Yesseca didn't insist on it. Since Tremaine didn't want to go to bed, she would go on a walk with him.

They didn't walk far, just around the neighborhood.

The residential area this morning was very lively.

They saw a woman with a large basket on her way to buy some vegetables, an old man who was doing his morning workout, and some parents with their children on their way to get some breakfast.

Tremaine rarely saw such a sight.

He looked at each of them intently. "It's very lively here."

"Of course!" Yesseca replied. "This is a small neighborhood with lots of people. It's not like your villa. Although it's luxurious, it's not very lively. I like living in a lively place like this. It was the same with my brother."

After saying that, Yesseca felt her throat tighten. Her face looked lonely.

After a while, she composed herself and continued talking about the neighborhood. "I like the food they serve here. When I was hospitalized, my brother would often come here to buy take-out on his way to visit me at the hospital."

"Your brother was very kind to you." Tremaine said softly.

Yesseca nodded vigorously. "My brother was the best man in the entire world. He was handsome and nice. Maybe God loved him too much, so he asked my brother to return to heaven to be by his side."

A hand suddenly landed on Yesseca's head.

The hand patted her head lightly. Tremaine was comforting her, "We're just the same. Well all be together again one day."

Yesseca looked down. "I know what

you're saying, but my brother left too

soon. He didn't get married and didn't have any children. I wished for him to have a good life. He never got to live his life, because he had to work so hard to take care of me."

"So you have to live well to make all his hard work worthwhile."

Yesseca held her breath.

"You're right." Yesseca smiled. "The best way to repay him is to live a good life!"

She looked at her watch. It was almost eight o'clock.

She still had another hour before she had to leave for work, but she didn't want to keep Tremaine up any longer. "I should get to work now." "Then I'll accompany you there."

Yesseca saw that Tremaine had insisted and didn't refuse.

There was a huge commotion at her workplace when she arrived.

This was because there was a large bouquet of fresh roses on Yesseca's counter.

She was confused. Why was there a bouquet of roses there?

Cassie, who was stationed at the next counter, ran over.

She said with a smile, "Do you have a secret admirer, Yesseca? It was really thoughtful of them to send you roses so early in the morning." Yesseca was silently confused.

She said rather helplessly, "How was this possible? Someone must have made a mistake."

"How could it be a mistake? I think it really is for you, but you just don't know who from," the girl replied firmly.

Cassie wasn't the only one who knew that there were roses on Yesseca's counter, all the other employees did as well.

Enaryln noticed that the roses on Yesseca's counter were from a high-end flower shop in Agaphen City. That bouquet of roses would have easily cost thousands of dollars!

She was extremely jealous.

She once wanted her boyfriend to buy her roses from this very flower shop when she dated him. But her boyfriend refused to buy her roses because

it was way too expensive. In the end, Enaryln had broken up with him after throwing an angry tantrum.

Enaryln had a great body and a beautiful face, but men weren't willing to give her a bouquet of roses worth thousands of dollars. But Yesseca looked like a shriveled cucumber. How come she got an expensive bouquet of roses?

Enaryln and her colleagues started to gossip about Yesseca.

Due to her unbridled jealousy, Enaryln's voice grew louder, "It's just a bouquet of roses. What's so great about that? Yesseca is probably schmoozing herself to become the mistress of some rich man!

No

wonder he'd send her roses After all,

being a mistress has its perks!"

A colleague standing next to her realized that Enarlyn was being very loud and quickly said, "Enaryln, lower your voice, she's in the store. Be

careful, she'll hear you."

Enaryln couldn't care less about

that. She spoke even louder, "What are you afraid of? If she had the guts to do it, then we can talk about it, can't we? It's such a shame that a little girl like her ended up as a side woman. We dress way better and are much prettier than her, aren't we? But why hasn't anyone sent us a bouquet of expensive roses? Because we wouldn't do such a shameful thing. If she wasn't so shameless, the number of roses we would have received could easily fill up the whole mall!"

Yesseca heard everything Enarlyn said clearly.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Yesseca didn't want to argue with Enaryln at first, but the more she talked, the angrier she became.

Although Yesseca often didn't pay much attention to the others, she wasn't a coward. She wouldn't let anyone slander her like that!

Yesseca couldn't help but stride over to Enaryln.

"Enaryln, are you done?!" Yesseca glared at her. "I'm not afraid of you, but we are colleagues. So don't you dare cross that line. Think about what you're saying! That's all nonsense!"
