However, he soon understood.
Qiana was putting on a mask and acting in front of everyone.
However, even the most professional actors couldn't perform in every different scene.
Qiana's acting was good enough for some people and perfunctory for some others.
For example, it was not good enough for Ruth.
In Qiana's eyes, Ruth was insignificant. Hence, it was inevitable for her to be careless. Ruth happened to be smart. Thus, she could see through her act and know that something was off about her.
"Ruth." Tremaine's face suddenly darkened. "Qiana is not someone you can talk about casually. Don't let me hear it a second time!"
Although Tremaine wasn't really familiar with Ruth, he still felt pity for her.
She was already suffering enough. He didn't want to get Ruth involved in Qiana's affairs.
Ruth was flustered.
It seemed that he really loved Qiana as everyone said. Hence, he had such a big reaction to her
speculation.
During the day, when the servants were taking care of Ruth, they began to talk about Qiana and Ruth listened to them all.
They said that Qiana was now the apple of Tremaine’s eye and was about to get married to him.
Ruth didn't believe it at that time.
She still remembered Tremaine's deep affection for Yesseca.
Even if they were not together now, how could such deep affection be easily transferred onto another woman?
Ruth knew that the reason that Tremaine and Qiana would get married must be that she was Montez's birth mother. Hence, Tremaine had to give her a title.
That was all.
But now, she just said that she felt that something was wrong with Qiana, which made Tremaine angry. It was enough to prove that she was wrong about them.
Tremaine had really fallen in love with Qiana.
Ruth felt a burst of sadness in her heart.
It was sad for Yesseca and it was even more tragic for the love that she used to be extremely envious of.
At that time, the love between Tremaine and Yesseca was really comparable to a fairy tale.
The high and mighty President, marrying a humble and ordinary girl.
Their union was known to everyone. It turned out that two people who were not from the same status could be together. This is to prove that men and women with different identities could also fall in love.
But now...
Ruth let out a bitter laugh.
The brave side of her suddenly asked, "Mr. Tremaine, do you still think of Yesseca?"
Tremaine's expression changed.
Ruth immediately lowered her head, her long and thick eyelashes trembling.
What was wrong with her?
She had actually asked him such a personal question!
How dare she ask such a question!
Fortunately, Tremaine did not do anything to Ruth. He took a deep look at her, turned around, and left.
The night was as dark as ink.
In the blink of an eye, it was two o'clock in the morning.
Everyone fell asleep, except for Tremaine, who was still standing in the garden outside.
The faint moonlight enveloped him, as if covering him with a thin layer of gauze, which dissipated a lot of his cold and severe aura.
He couldn't fall asleep.
The question from Ruth was now replaying in his mind.
It echoed in his mind all the time.
He missed Yesseca. He really did.
She thought of the girl with a round face and round eyes. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes would curve.
Thinking of that girl who was as silly as a silly goose.
He thought of the girl who always made all kinds of terrible desserts and forced him to eat it.
How could he drive such a girl away from him?
