Tremaine said lightly, "Since you already know, why are you still going to look for Zorion?"
Madam Quartley said nothing.
Tremaine's words enlightened her. She sighed and said, "I can't just stand by and watch your brother and Ruth be like that, it's too much! Ruth is pregnant..."
Even Madam Quartley could not bring herself to say it.
Tremaine said, "Madam, Zorion only said that he wanted to look for Ruth. You're overthinking things."
Madam Quartley said nothing.
It was not that she thought too much.
It was the fact that a man was going to a woman's room alone. Even if they did not go as far as possible, it was still complicated.
It was difficult for Madam Quartley to say anything. All she said was, "Tremaine, haven't you heard about what the servants have been saying? They say that Ruth is using her seduction skills even though she is pregnant to get your brother, making him go to her!"
"Those servants are young. It's normal for them to gossip mindlessly like this," Tremaine just looked at Madam Quartley. "You are old and wise, please don't worry about these things like those young people."
Her face turned red. She shouted, "Tremaine, what are you talking about!"
"The truth."
Madam Quartley said nothing.
She was so angry that she could not utter a word. She turned around and left.
This grandson of his had always had a sharp tongue. He really was a pain to her.
But there was nothing she could do.
He was the most outstanding man in the Quartley family!
When Zorion brought the soup again, Ruth had no words left to ask him to leave.
She had repeated the same thing time and time again, Zorion still did not listen to her. He still came by with soup every day.
All kinds of soup.
Of course, the most important thing was that Zorion didn't cause any trouble.
Yuliana did not come by either.
No one came to accuse her or Zorion.
This made Ruth feel rather strange.
It was as though Quartley Palace was not some kind of dangerous place, but a warm one that was filled with kindness.
Just like every time Zorion came to see her, the smile on his face always calmed her anxious heart.
"Ruth, this soup is good for your health. This ginseng only grows once in a thousand years. I asked the kitchen to prepare this for you," Zorion told her.
Of course, Ruth knew that there was no ginseng that was a thousand years old.
However, she did not refute Zorion. Instead, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll drink it."
Watching Ruth drinking the soup, Zorion burst into laughter.
Before that, Ruth had always asked him to leave. But slowly, he plucked up his courage. Ruth did not send him away and he would still chat with her.
Although Ruth was pregnant and could not play with him anymore, Zorion felt happy even if they could chat.
It was the same for Ruth.
She was mostly unhappy in Quartley Palace. The happiest time she had was when she was with Zorion.
When he came to see her, it was as though there was a radiant light.
It was as though she was seeing a bonfire in a frozen barren land.
She knew that it was not good for Zorion to come and see her, but since there was no problem so far, she was happy to talk to Zorion.
