Hearing Yesseca's words, Tremaine suddenly realized for the first time what fear was.
The cream cake just now had already made his stomach churn. If he ate the cookies, he would be admitted to hospital.
Tremaine took the cookies from Yesseca almost immediately and said, "I'll give it to him right away!"
When Tremaine found Montez, he saw that Qiana was reading a book to him.
He pushed open the door. Montez was in the study room and did not notice him, but Qiana did. She continued reading softly to Montez.
Tremaine didn't call for Montez.
He stood at the door.
After finishing reading, Qiana asked, "Montez, what kind of inspiration did this story give you?"
Montez shook his head. "Nothing."
Qiana touched Montez's head and explained, "The story tells us that children must obey their elders. Recently, you haven't spoken much to your daddy or Aunty Yesseca. Montez, you must speak to
them more often."
Montez's expression changed when he heard Tremaine and Yesseca's names being mentioned.
A moment later, he blurted out, "Yesseca is not my aunt."
Qiana burst out laughing.
She changed the topic and replied, "Right, then she is like a big sister to you. You must talk to them more often, Montez. They care about you."
Montez bit his lip.
He clenched his fists and replied, "But Mom, I want you to be with Dad. Yesseca, and I..."
Montez wanted to say something, but he could not.
Because that scene came to his mind again.
The scene of Qiana kneeling in front of Yesseca.
Qiana's voice became even more gentle. She softly comforted, "Montez, love is not about wanting others to be together. Your daddy and Yesseca love each other. Yesseca is a good girl too. That's why your daddy needs to love and protect her. She's like a mother to you."
Montez hugged Qiana and said, "It's enough that I have a mother like you."
There was a silence.
When Tremaine heard these words from the door and saw this scene, he let down his guard against Qiana.
Tremaine suddenly felt that letting Qiana stay in Quartley Palace was the right choice.
First of all, Montez could enjoy maternal love. The most important thing was that Qiana didn't have a lot of bad intentions, and she was a nice person. Hence, she wouldn't cause any trouble.
"Daddy, Daddy." Montez suddenly saw Tremaine from the corner of his eyes.
Qiana also followed Montez's gaze and saw Tremaine.
"Your Excellency." Qiana looked very nervous.
Tremaine nodded.
He exclaimed, "I have something to discuss with Montez."
Qiana said to Montez, "Montez, go with your daddy first. I'll be in the study room."
Montez was a little hesitant.
Qiana whispered into Montez's ear, "Montez, have you forgotten what I just told you?"
When she said this, her voice was very soft, as if she was only talking to Montez. However, Tremaine could hear her.
Montez went out with Tremaine.
At the door of the study, Tremaine gave Montez a box of cookies.
Montez did not take it.
He asked, "Why are you giving me this? I'm not a child anymore. I don't like snacks."
