Chapter 1598


    ?


    It turned out that everything Selina told her was true. She had thought it was all a joke. Although she liked Kyi in very much, she had never thought about him this way. Now that Kylin had expressed his intentions, she didn''t know what to do.


    "Yesseca, let''s have dinner together. I chose a restaurant you like." Kylin persuaded.


    Yesseca immediately rejected his invitation, "I''m... I''m going home for dinner."


    "Did you mean to invite me to your house for dinner?" Kylin asked while looking at with a smile on his face.


    Yesseca was quiet.


    She shook her head. "I... I didn''t mean that."Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    The smile on Kylin''s lips widened. "Thene with with me to the restaurant for dinner, unless you want to invite me over to your house instead."


    There was a silence.


    Yesseca realized that she had been tricked.


    Because Kylin had fed her the illusion of choice, the illusion that she only had two choices.


    To invite Kylin over to her home or to have dinner at a restaurant together.


    Of course, she chose the second option.


    It wasn''t until she arrived at the restaurant that she realized there was a third choice.


    She wouldn''t have to invite Kyi in to have dinner at her home, nor did she have to go to the restaurant with him.


    But since she was already there, she had to bite the bullet and walk in.


    The waiter brought over the menus.


    Kyi in passed one over to Yesseca.


    Yesseca handed it back. "You order."


    Kyi in nodded.


    When he made his order, he saw Yesseca sitting with her head hung low. Her long eyshes trembled and her body was tense.


    Kyi in lowered his voice. "Yesseca, there''s no need to be nervous. We''re just friends, just like before."


    Yesseca was about to cry. "But we can''t be friends anymore."


    Since Kylin had already confessed to her, how could she just treat Kylin as a regr friend?


    Kylin continued gently, "Yesseca, it''s my decision to pursue you. If you treat me just like an ordinary friend, I''ll just be an ordinary friend in your heart, unless..."


    Kylin left the sentence hanging.


    Yesseca was stunned for a moment before realization finally dawned on her.


    Yes, it was as Kylin said, it wasn''t that difficult.


    Kylin gave her roses at the entrance of the mall earlier, but she refused them. Kylin then ced the roses back into his car.


    If she treated Kylin as an ordinary friend, what did she have to be nervous about?


    As she thought this, Yesseca finally rxed.


    During their meal, Kylin asked, "Yesseca, do you have anyone you like right now?"


    This question startled Yesseca.


    Just as Kylin asked this question, a familiar face immediately appeared in Yesseca''s mind.


    His smooth, fair face with that sharp jaw and cool demeanor. His dark, deep eyes, those thick eyebrows, that tall and straight nose of his and his beautiful lips, all of them were mboyantly elegant.


    It was Tremaine''s face.


    Yesseca was stunned at herself.


    God, was she possessed? Why was she thinking about Tremaine?


    Yesseca quickly shook her head. "No."


    Kylin smiled at her answer. "Since you don''t have one, why not give me a chance?"


    Yesseca felt embarrassed and said, "Kylin, you''re my non-blood rted sister''s younger brother. I''ve only ever seen you as a friend. Now that you''ve said all this, I have no idea what to do."


    ???


    "You don''t need to do anything. Yesseca it''s no different than before. We got along wonderfully before, only now we''ll be spending more time together. As for deciding to be in rtionship with me, let''s put it aside for now and talk about itter."


    They way he spoke so modestly instantly alleviated any pressure she had and allowed her to rx.


    However, despite that, Yesseca didn''t know how to answer him.


    Just then, someone shouted angrily from behind them, "Hurry up then! This is a high-end restaurant. No loitering about."


    Yesseca and Kylin both looked over at the direction of the shouting.


    A waitress from the restaurant was rushing an elderly man who had sat down next to her.


    The old man was dressed quite shabbily.


    The old man was quite embarrassed because he was being yelled at in public. "I''ll... I''lle in and


    sit down."


    After a brief pause, the old man said, "I''d... I''d like to order some drinks."


    The waitress tossed a menu in front of him. "What do you want? The cheapest one costs a hundred dors."


    The old man''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    He couldn''t believe that a single drink could cost a hundred dors.


    The waiter continued impatiently, "If you''re not going to order, then leave. We still have business to do. Our restaurant only serves high-end customers."


    The old man''s face turned red.


    He was about to stand up quietly.


    Yesseca couldn''t take it anymore.


    This waitress had gone too far!


    The elderly man was already so old, how could she say something like that? This was too much!


    Yesseca was just about to speak up for the old man when Kyi in stood up and walked over.


    He said softly to the old man, "Sir, please have a seat. A restaurant is an establishment that takes care of their customers. As long as you are inside, they''ll take good care of you."


    After that, he spoke to the waitress,


    "Please serve this gentleman one of


    your finest meals. Put it on my bill. You should know that he is an elderly gentleman and it is our role


    as the younger generation to care for them with the same kindness they provided us as children."


    The waitress''s face turned red as she listened to Kyi in''s exnation.


    "Yes sir." The waitress rushed away right after.


    The old man looked at Kylin gratefully and said, "Thank you, young man. When I... I came in. I didn''t know it would be so expensive. If I had known, I wouldn''t have stepped in."


    After that, the old man took out a stic bag from his pocket. His hand was full of age spots. He carefully opened the stic bag and said, "You don''t have to pay for it, young man. I can''t have you pay such an exorbitant amount."


    Kylin held the old man''s hand and said, "Don''t worry, I ought to spend some money to provide care for you. You''re a senior citizen in our society. As a younger man, I should show my respect to you."


    Yesseca walked over and added, "That''s right, sir. We''ll treat you to a meal. Please don''t feel the need to refuse. We''re just doing what we believe we ought to."


    Having said that, Yesseca sat down and smiled at Kylin. "Kylin, let''s have our meal with the old man. Otherwise, he''d be quite lonely if he eats alone."


    A sh of approval shed across Kyi in''s eyes.


    He nodded. "Okay, let''s do that."


    The old man was so happy that tears welled up in his eyes.


    During their meal, Yesseca and Kylin chatted with the old man. During their conversation, they learned that the old man had no remaining


    rtives, because he had never


    married nor had any children due to being poor. When he was young, he''d survived on odd jobs. When he got old, it became difficult to live by collecting recyble items.


    Yesseca quickly said, "Sir, I used to work as a volunteer in a nursing home. It is a ce that is run by a welfare agency that doesn''t require you to pay


    them any money. If you want to live there, I can help arrange it for you."


    The old man sounded hesitant. "Re.. Really?"
