My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Yesseca was stunned.

Tremaine had a change of heart?

Preslie was about to tell her about Tremaine's upcoming marriage to a servant, but she swallowed her words before they could slip out.

Marriage was way too important of an affair.

She was afraid of upsetting Yesseca further.

Thus, Preslie broke the news to her in a gentler manner.

"Yesseca, Tremaine got close with a servant," said Preslie tentatively.

"Really?" asked Yesseca.

"Really. I heard it from the President's office, so it can't be fake," Preslie replied hurriedly yet firmly.

Yesseca's thoughts immediately ran wild.

It suddenly occurred to her that she'd rarely seen Tremaine recently. Moreover, he'd previously said that he would take her body after her period, yet it hadn't happened. Yesseca tightened her grip on her phone.

Could Tremaine really have changed his mind?

Yesseca wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

After a while, she mumbled an "oh" over the phone.

Preslie was panicked beyond words.

Yesseca was just accepting such a bombshell?

Anxiously, Preslie urged, "Yesseca, you have to do something. You can't just let him cheat on you."

Yesseca was unable to come up a solution.

After a while, she said, "Let me think about it, Preslie."

Preslie gulped.

True, Yesseca was probably in a state of shock and rage upon hearing the news. She had to give Yesseca some time to digest it. Preslie went on, "Take your time and think it over, Yesseca. I'll call you later. Don't do anything impulsive or stupid, and don't be sad." After hanging up, Yesseca remained in a daze.

She wouldn't do anything impulsive or stupid.

She was just thinking about how she'd been right that Tremaine saw her as merely a toy.

Just as she'd thought from the start.

If a man loved her genuinely, he would not put her down and call her stupid.

But if he wanted to toy with her, why would he want to marry her? Also, why did he have a wedding planner?

Yesseca concluded that perhaps Tremaine was just fooling around.

He would never marry her.

That was possible.

Extremely possible.

Yesseca forced a smile onto her lips.

It was a good thing,

She thought about it.

She could go back to Agaphen City and regain her freedom.

Truthfully, she was not used to staying in Nashaland at all. Although she was well-fed, she spent most of her time stuck in her big bedroom, either daydreaming or reading books.

It would be great if she could go back to Agaphen City.

Since Tremaine had changed his mind and gotten together with another woman, he would surely let her go.

It was a good thing.

However, in the deepest corner of her heart, there was a hint of inexplicable despair. Yesseca herself

hadn't even realized it's existence.

After hanging up, Preslie headed to the office.

Unexpectedly, she bumped into Sheldon Hawls on her way there.

Something came to Preslie's mind.

Sheldon Hawls!

She trotted up and said, "Mr. Hawls."

Sheldon stopped and looked at Preslie, perplexed.

Preslie had initially wanted to ask Sheldon some questions. However, when she went up to him, she realized that he was looking particularly dashing that day. Instead of his military uniform, he was wearing a suit, which gave off a different vibe. Preslie's face was instantly flushed.

"Mr... Mr. Hawls," Preslie stammered. "I heard that, Tremaine..."

"You can't call Mr. Tremaine by his name," Sheldon interrupted Preslie.

Preslie quickly corrected herself. "I heard that Mr. Tremaine will be marrying a servant, right? He can't. Since he and Yesseca are a couple, he can't marry that servant. I'll hurt Yesseca."

Preslie hoped that Sheldon could change Tremaine's heart of stone.

Sheldon was floored.

He gave a shocked glance at Preslie. "Where did you hearthat?"

Preslie's eyes widened. "Everyone is talking about it."

Sheldon was once more at a loss for words.

He instantly understood what was going on.

It was true that rumors were circulating in the Presidential Palace, but they were all of Tremaine and

Yesseca

was amazed that

Preslie had somehow mato misinterpret them to that extent.

What on earth was Preslie thinking?

Sheldon was about to let out a long sigh.

How could she be that clueless?

Sheldon didn't want to explain anything to Preslie.

He didn't think that Preslie would understand even if he did

"It's none of your concern." Sheldon strode forward.

Preslie was unwilling to give up.

She ran after him, calling, "Mr. Hawls, Mr. Hawls!"

Sheldon stopped in his tracks abruptly.

Preslie then bumped into Sheldon's back.

There was a pause.

Preslie stood up straight and rubbed her forehead awkwardly.

Sheldon looked at Preslie with disgust. "Why are you following me? If others see this, they'll misunderstand!" Preslie's face turned redder.

She faltered. "Mr. Hawls, I just want to ask you about it."

"Just get back to work. I'll say it again, it's none of your concern."

"But, Mr. Hawls..."

"Shut up!" Sheldon suddenly raised his voice.

Preslie was startled.

Her eyes soon welled up, and she looked at Sheldon with a pitiful look

At that moment, Preslie looked absolutely wronged.

Sheldon's heart skipped a beat.

He contemplated explaining things to Preslie because he felt bad for her. However, Sheldon swallowed his words before they could come out.

With Preslie's intelligence, his explanation would have to be lengthy and elaborate, which would complicate things more. In that case, he would have to waste his entire day just clarifying the matter to Preslie.

Sheldon decided to let Preslie find out about it on her own.

"Stop following me." With those words, Sheldon left.

Preslie did not follow.

After turning the corner, Sheldon's phone suddenly rang.

Sheldon took out his phone.

When he saw the caller's name on the screen, his gaze suddenly froze.

Then, he looked around to confirm that there was no one around him. He hurried into a corner and accepted the call.

"Are you looking for me?" A female voice came from the other end of the line.

It was the voice of a young woman.

Sheldon gnashed his teeth. "Yes. come back now!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was raised as it said, "What do you want me back for? To pass me on to Tremaine? He will kill me!"

"I will plead with Mr. Tremaine to spare your life. You've made too many mistakes. Come back right

now!"

The woman laughed. "I won't come back. Don't send anyone to look for me, unless you want to see me die in front of you."

"I'm telling you again, I won't let you die. I'll beg for mercy for you. Mr. Tremaine will spare your life."

The woman sneered. "How would that devil Tremaine let me live!"
