Chapter 1701
Even after some thought, Sheldon did not know what to say, so he kept quiet.
After taking a look at Yesseca, he immediately dialed the number that she'd hung up.
His phone was still usable.
The screen had turned black because the call was hung up, not broken. After all, his phone was a special military phone that could withstand more than a smash.
Soon, the call was connected.
Sheldon asked carefully, "Your Excellency, look..."
He wanted to ask Tremaine if he still wanted to talk to Yesseca.
"Return to Nashaland." However, Tremaine said only these three words to him.
And he sounded utterly cold.
Hearing his words, Sheldon felt a chill in his bones.
After that, Tremaine hung up the phone.
Sheldon held his breath.
After a while, he decided to go back.
Since Tremaine had asked him to go back, he couldn't stay here any longer.
Then, he glanced at Yesseca.
She was still standing in a daze, and her eyes were hollow.
He shook his head and left.
Inside, he was thinking how scary and weird she was.
Preslie came to see Yesseca.
It was because Yesseca had been absent from work without taking a day off.
And when she called Yesseca, she couldn't get through, so she was worried about her.
Yesseca had once told her where she lived. Although she didn't know which unit Yesseca was staying at, she decided to try her luck, and she might run into her.
When she arrived at Yesseca's neighborhood, she had already prepped herself to ask around if they knew Yesseca.
Just then, she saw a figure coming in her direction.
And so she was about to approach them.
However, when she took a closer look, she was stunned to see him.
Sheldon was also stunned to see Preslie. Then, he cursed himself for his bad luck.
Why had he run into two terrifying women in the same day?
One was a woman who had the guts to yell at Tremaine, and one was the one who'd caused his lips to become swollen. How unlucky he was that day!
He intended to make a detour as he had no interest in talking to this woman who poisoned him with her cheap lipstick. However, she seemed to be interested in talking to him.
When she saw him making a detour, she immediately caught up with him.
She said with a happy face, "Mr. Lifesaver, it's you! What a coincidence to see you in Agaphen City!"
How could he ignore such a smiling face.
Although he did not like her, he still replied to her perfunctorily when he saw her happy face, "It is. I had something to do here." Preslie sized him up.
Sheldon could feel her hungry gaze on him. It was as if she had never seen a man, and she wanted to look through him with her eyes. Just the, he felt goosebumps forming on his arms.
She looked at him admiringly as she said, "You're in military uniform again. You look good in it, just like the soldiers on TV."
He did not reply.
He was not interested in chatting with her.

"Ahem." Sheldon couldn't help but say, "I have to go."
Preslie was a little confused. Why was he leaving already? She still wanted to have a good chat with him.
"Let me see you off," she said.
"There's no need." As soon as he finished his sentence, he strode away, but she followed behind him, saying, "I insist."
Taking advantage of his long legs,
he was way ahead of her. She had to
speed up to catch up with him. Careless, she lost her balance
was about to fall. Luckily, she n
regained her balance in time so she did not fall.
He saw it happen.
Frowning, he said to her, "Why are you following me? What if you fall again? I refuse to help you up again. You're quite heavy, you know?"
Her expression changed when she heard that.
The brilliance in her eyes disappeared without a trace, and she sounded a little aggrieved. "Am I that heavy?"
"Yes," he said honestly.
Because he was a soldier, he had always been straightforward and had never beat around the bush.
She showed him five fingers, saying, "But I'm trying to lose weight. I cut down on my food, and I've already lost five pounds.'
However, he didn't think so. "Five pounds isn't a big deal to you. You need to lose another twenty pounds."
Preslie was rendered speechless.
Sheldon's words suddenly made her think of something.
With that, she built up the courage to ask him, "Are you saying you like girls when they look like me after losing twenty pounds?"
Her face was full of expectation and shyness.
He said directly, "I don't like you, so no matter how much weight you lose, you wouldn't be my type."
He was a typical man, and he liked women with curvy bodies. It was apparent that she had no curves.
Hearing her words, she was instantly dumbfounded.
Suddenly, he felt like she looked just like Yesseca. He frowned and said, "I'm leaving."
This time, there was no response from her.
Without saying another word, he left.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Only when Sheldon's figure completely disappeared did Preslie finally come back to her senses.
She curled her lips and felt like crying.
However, after thinking for a while, she restrained herself from crying.
Why should she be crying?
There was no reason for her to get emotional.
After rubbing her eyes, she stopped a woman in front of her. "Hello there, Miss. Do you know Yesseca?"
Preslie had always been shot down for her figure since she was a child, so she did not care about this one.
It was just her dream man calling her fat, and saying that she wouldn't be his type no matter what weight she had, right?
This was normal for her.
A man as handsome as him must like beautiful women. Why did she have to be so thick-skinned by asking such a question? Wasn't this asking for
humiliation?
She should be looking for Yesseca.
The woman whom she stopped just a while ago had pointed her in the direction of Yesseca's apartment. Therefore, she looked around and saw Yesseca downstairs.
Yesseca was standing there like a sculpture.
Preslie walked over to her and patted her shoulder. "Why didn't you come to work? You..."
She was shocked to see Yesseca.
She had just patted Yesseca gently,
but Yesseca fell backwards.

Fortunately, she grabbed hold Yesseca in time. Otherwise, Yesseca would have fallen to the ground.
Preslie was so anxious that she was about to cry. "Yesseca, am I this fat? Is just one light tap enough for me to push you over?"
Looking at her familiar face and hearing the familiar voice, Yesseca gradually returned to the real world.
