My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

En route to Northland.

Yesseca and Tremaine sat in one car, while Sheldon and Preslie were seated in another.

Halfway, Tremaine suddenly said to Yesseca, "I think you should find a different friend."

Yesseca looked at Tremaine in confusion.

Tremaine said indifferently, "Befriend someone smarter, because I'm sure that will make you smarter too."

Yesseca was speechless.

She glared at Tremaine in displeasure. "Stop with your nonsense. Preslie is a very smart girl. You just don't know her." The corner of Tremaine's mouth twitched.

A woman who could knock herself unconscious by walking into a wall was deemed smart by Yesseca?

Tremaine subconsciously said, "Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together."

Yesseca had no retort.

She was very unhappy. "Why do you always call me stupid? Am I as stupid as you say all the

time?"

Tremaine answered without hesitation, "Of course."

Yesseca was getting worked up, but suddenly, Tremaine grabbed her hand in one swift motion.

Yesseca's breath stuttered.

His hands were big and warm.

Yesseca's small hands were engulfed by Tremaine's palm. It felt as if they were stuffed into a pair of comfortable, warm gloves.

Tremaine stared into Yesseca's eyes. "Yesseca, don't pull this on me next time. Don't just drop off the grid without telling me. I almost thought you ran away with someone else!" Yesseca's lips were a little dry.

Then, she suddenly asked, "What if I really ran away with someone else?"

Coldness flashed in Tremaine's eyes. He looked as if he could break an iron into half. "Then I'll skin you alive"

Yesseca shuddered.

Looking at Tremaine's cold expression, she suddenly had a feeling that if she really run away with someone else, he would really do as he said. He would skin her alive! Confusion flashed across Yesseca's eyes.

What kind of person was Tremaine?

Sometimes he was nice and kind, but sometimes he was downright cruel.

She really couldn't understand Tremaine.

While Sheldon was driving, Preslie was sitting in the passenger seat.

Preslie's mind was a mess the entire ride.

Sheldon must have thought that she was really dumb to be able to knock herself out.

Sheldon definitely looked down on her.

However, she was not normally that stupid.

It was the ridicule of her family that had made her lose her sense, which resulted in such an accident.

She thought about it all the way to Nashaland, and she couldn't help but open her mouth. "Um, I've never bumped myself into the wall when I walk. This is the first time."

"I, I was going through a tough time today, that's why all this happened. I, I don't know how it happened as well."

"But I'm definitely not clumsy enough to knock myself out when I walk."

While Preslie was explaining herself, she didn't dare to look at Sheldon and kept her head down as she talked as if she was speaking to herself. Sheldon looked at Preslie strangely. Preslie kept talking and he couldn't help but interrupt her. "Miss Fernandez, what is it that you want to say?" Preslie gulped nervously.

She mustered up her courage to raise her head. "Mr. Hawls, I just want to let you know that I'm not that clumsy of a person. What happened today was an accident."

After starting work in the President's Office, she had heard her colleagues call Sheldon Mr. Hawls. Although she did not understand why they did it, she'd just followed their lead. Sheldon coughed.

There was something he was too embarrassed to say.

Even before whatever that happened today, Preslie had already been a dumb and clumsy person in his mind.

When they arrived at Quartley Palace, Tremaine walked in while holding Yesseca's hand.

Madam Quartley happened to witness it.

For some reason, Madam Quartley hadn't been able to sleep and decided to get up and take a walk in the garden. Who knew she would bump into Tremaine and Yesseca...

Madam Quartley's eyes fell on Tremaine's hand that was holding onto Yesseca tightly. Her heart jolted. Then, Madam Quartley stopped them and said, "Tremaine, I have something to say to you." Tremaine narrowed his eyes slightly.

He let go of Yesseca's hand and said, "Go back to the bedroom now."

Yesseca nodded.

She glanced at Madam Quartley and saw a pair of eyes full of disgust.

She knew that it was disgust towards her.

Madam Quartley hated her.

Yesseca could also guess the reason why Madam Quartley had stopped Tremaine. It was probably because she'd seen him holding Yesseca's hand.

To be frank, when Yesseca had seen

Madam Quartley from a distance,

she'd wanted to pull her hand out of Tremaine's grasp. She didn't want to provoke Madam Quartley. However, Tremaine hadn't wanted to

QUMS

Yesseca suppressed the mess in her mind and went into the bedroom.

go...

Madam Quartley regulated her emotions and tried to talk to Tremaine in a kind tone, "Tremaine, you are the president of a country. You shouldn't hook up with such a woman while you remain unmarried, and you shouldn't let people gossip about it. You'd be better off cutting ties with her or there will be conflict with your future wife if she knew the existence of such a woman."

Tremaine said mildly, "You worry too much. She is my future wife."

Madam Quartley was speechless.

She was shocked and doubtful. "Tremaine, didn't you tell me that you wouldn't marry her?"

She had asked Tremaine about it not too long ago. Tremaine had gotten angry and claimed that he would never marry Yesseca. She had also specially chided Yuliana for informing her of unconfirmed rumors. Now, however...

Tremaine cleared his throat.

He acted as if nothing happened. "Madam Quartley, I changed my mind. I have decided to marry her now."

Madam Quartley was completely dumbstruck.

She said, trembling, "Tremaine, are you serious?"

"Of course." Tremaine answered with certainty.

Madam Quartley raised her voice and said, "Absolutely not. Tremaine, did you forget who you are? How can you marry her? I will not have it!"

"Then who else should I marry?" Tremaine asked abruptly.

Qiana's figure flashed through Madam Quartley's mind.

Qiana was a good candidate in her eyes. After all, she was Montez's mother.

Of course, if both Qiana and

Tremaine had no feelings for each

other, Tremaine could easily look for

somebody else. After all, Qiana's background could not match up with Tremaine. There were also many

women in the upper class that Tremaine could choose from.

"There are a lot of other candidates." Madam Quartley said.

She did not say too much.

"Really?" Tremaine suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, "Then, choose your favorite, grandma."

Madam Quartley's eyes flashed with joy.

Was there hope?

Was Tremaine willing to marry someone else?
