Yesseca overheard the conversation between the two servants clearly.
She was completely shocked.
Cookies in the cupboard?
What was going on?
Yesseca immediately went forward to ask the maid about it.
The two servants did not expect Yesseca to appear out of nowhere, so they were dumbfounded.
The maid that Tremaine ordered to put the cookies in the cupboard initially wanted to avoid answering Yesseca. However, Yesseca continued pressing her. The maid could only relent.
She opened the cupboard and there were stacks of boxes of cookies in it.
The maid avoided Yesseca's eyes and said, "Mr. Tremaine passed this to me a few days in a row. He said nothing about what to do with it. He just told me to keep it. Maybe he wasn't willing to finish it in one go which was why he wants to keep it."
Yesseca's gaze swept into the cupboard. Indeed, there were all the cookies that she had made for Montez and passed to Tremaine to give to Montez.
Yesseca's head began to buzz.
Why did Tremaine keep all the cookies she made for Montez?
With a belly full of questions, Yesseca was ready to call Tremaine and ask him what was going on, but she didn't expect to see Montez by the corridor.
Montez was by himself and was about to go upstairs.
When their gaze locked onto each other's, both Yesseca and Montez paused a little.
Although they were both in Quartley Palace, Montez and Yesseca hadn't met for a long time ever since Qiana knelt down to Yesseca.
"Montez." Yesseca was the first to speak.
Montez's face looked a little tense, but he still nodded and whispered, "Yesseca."
Yesseca suddenly felt a little awkward.
Though she did not know why.
She used to have such a good relationship with Montez, there would even be nights where they would sleep in the same bed together. She used to be so close with Montez, but now she felt awkward with him.
"Montez." Yesseca tried to find a topic in her mind. "How have you been lately?"
Montez replied, "I'm fine."
He had originally wanted to ask how Yesseca was doing recently. However, for some reason, the scene of Qiana kneeling in front of Yesseca surfaced in his mind. His mouth moved but no words came out from his mouth.
"Do my cookies taste good?" Yesseca asked again. "I made them myself. Did your father give you a taste of it?"
Montez thought of the box of cookies.
They were delicious. But for some reason, after eating the cookies, Montez's stomach ached for the whole day.
But he didn't think much about it.
He did not think that it was because of the cookies Yesseca made.
Montez said, "They were delicious. It's the box of bear cookies right? It was nice. Yesseca, thank you for making it for me."
Yesseca immediately asked, "Did you only have one box of bear cookies? Did you only eat one box?"
Montez nodded.
Yesseca continued, "Your father only gave you a box? Not any more?"
Montez nodded again.
Yesseca's heart sank.
At this moment, Qiana walked over.
She smiled at Yesseca and said, "Miss Cowell."
