After she finished speaking, Madam Quartley added, "Look Tremaine, Qiana cares about your brother more than you do!"
Tremaine frowned when he heard that.
He did not respond to Madam Quartley and walked away.
After a while, when Tremaine met Qiana, he said, "Just stay with Montez. Don't bother about other things."
Qiana was dumbfounded when she heard that.
Soon, she understood what Tremaine was referring to.
It must be about Ruth!
When Tremaine came back, he saw that Yuliana was making a scene. He found out that Ruth was pregnant. Madam Quartley would not tell Yuliana, but that did not mean that she would not tell Tremaine.
This was something Qiana had neglected. She had never thought of it before!
Qiana immediately lowered her head in fear and trepidation. "Mr. Tremaine, I thought that your brother would miss Ruth. That is why I went to check up on her. I won't do it again. I overstepped my line."
Tremaine stared at Qiana.
He had not said anything yet, but she already knew what he was referring to. He thought that Qiana was quite smart.
A faint idea flashed through Tremaine's mind, but it happened so fast that he couldn't catch it.
Tremaine then took a deep look at Qiana and left.
After Tremaine left, Qiana's heart was pounding.
She could feel the meaning hidden behind Tremaine's look before he left.
Qiana wondered if Tremaine had thought of something and knew her true intentions.
But she didn't think that it was possible.
No matter how smart Tremaine was, he couldn't have known what she was thinking!
Qiana comforted herself.
Tremaine went to Montez's study room.
Montez was drawing alone.
He drew carefully on the white paper with a brush. It was a person.
Tremaine did not startle Montez. He just stood behind him.
When the person that Montez was drawing began to take shape, Tremaine's pupils widened slightly.
Montez noticed a movement behind him and turned around immediately.
When he saw it was Tremaine, Montez was taken aback.
It had been a long time since he saw Tremaine. They felt like strangers now that they had met after such a long time.
"Daddy," said Montez softly. He then rolled up the paper that he was drawing on after he thought of something.
"Daddy, it isn't drawn nicely. I'll redraw," said Montez, as though he was trying to hide something.
Tremaine was breathing heavily.
From what he thought he saw, Montez drew Yesseca.
"Montez, do you miss her very much?" Tremaine asked after some time.
As he spoke, every word seemed to take a lot of effort.
It was as though he was asking Montez and himself the same question.
Montez's mouth moved slightly.
He realized that Tremaine saw who he was drawing.
He was indeed drawing Yesseca.
Because he really missed Yesseca.
Yesseca had been away from Quartley Palace for a long time, yet he had not forgotten about her. He actually thought of her even more.
He remembered how Yesseca's eyes looked when she smiled.
He remembered the little biscuits that Yesseca made for him, which was sweet and crispy.
