My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

As soon as Madam Quartley spoke, several soldiers appeared.

Yesseca instinctively stood in front of the soup.

She'd spent the whole afternoon on it. How could she allow Madam Quartley to just throw it away?

Madam Quartley ordered the soldiers to pull Yesseca away, but the soldiers didn't dare. After all, they knew who Yesseca was to Tremaine. At most, they would only get rid of the soup as per Madam Quartley's orders, but they wouldn't dare to harm a hair on Yesseca's head.

Seeing that the soldiers did not dare to move, Yuliana stepped forward and pulled Yesseca aside. The soldiers quickly took away Yesseca's soup.

The entire process happened so quickly that the soup was already poured away before Yesseca could react.

Yesseca was dumbfounded.

Then, she shook Yuliana off harshly.

"You've crossed the line!" Yesseca shouted.

Yuliana sneered to herself.

Madam Quartley, on the other hand, looked at

Yesseca sternly. "It's your own fault for not doing as you're told, Yesseca. Leave Quartley Palace as soon as possible if you know what's good for you."

After that, Madam Quartley and Yuliana left. When they reached the stairs, they saw Montez.

Montez saw everything that had happened, but he could not stop them in time.

He glared at Madam Quartley and Yuliana. "Greatgrandma, Aunt Yuliana, you two were bullying Yesseca!"

Madam Quartley was still taken aback by Montez's sudden appearance, but Yuliana said, "Montez, it's not right for you to say that. This Yesseca isn't a good person." Montez's eyes widened. "That's not true!"

After that, he ran off.

Madam Quartley was about to go after Montez, but Yuliana stopped her.

Yuliana said, "Grandma, let him be. He's just a child, he doesn't know better."

Madam Quartley was a little anxious. "You don't get it. That shameless woman has managed to even manipulate Montez. What if he really thinks that we've bullied her?"

"Grandma, it's precisely because of this that you shouldn't chase after him. The more you explain, the more Montez will not believe you. Let Montez see for himself who Yesseca truly is. He will understand one day." Madam Quartley considered Yuliana's words and found them reasonable.

"Let him see what kind of woman she is," Madam Quartley sighed.

In the kitchen, Yesseca stood there in a daze.

Just like that, the soup that she'd spent the whole afternoon on was gone.

Suddenly, a small figure ran over to her.

It was Montez.

She hadn't seen him for a long time.

Though they were under the same roof, Quartley Palace was just too huge. Anyway, Yesseca normally stayed in her room, so it was normal that she hadn't seen Montez.

Seeing Montez, Yesseca's lips moved slightly.

"Montez," she said after a while.

Montez stared at Yesseca.

"Why didn't you resist when Great-grandma poured your soup away?" he asked.

Yesseca let out a bitter laugh.

At that time, Yuliana had grabbed her while the soldiers had taken the soup away. It had all happened so quickly that it was too late for her to do anything. Should she have shouted hysterically?

Seeing that Yesseca did not reply, Montez bit his lip. "Yesseca, I'm too young to go up against them, and when I saw them it was already too late. I couldn't help you." Yesseca was taken aback.

She didn't expect Montez to think that way.

A warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She replied softly, "It's fine, Montez. It's just a small matter. Let's just forget about it."

Montez clenched his fists tightly, then loosened them and said, "You can tell my dad about this, Yesseca. He'll help you get back at them."

Yesseca shook her head. "Forget it, it's no big deal."

Earlier on, she'd refrained from kicking up a fuss because of Tremaine.

Tremaine was the president. He carried the weight of a country and its people on his shoulders, and she didn't want to trouble him with anything if she could avoid it. If he had to deal with conflict in his family, he wouldn't be able to focus on his work.

That was why Yesseca wanted to just sweep things under the rug.

Montez did not say anything when he heard Yesseca's words.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Yesseca, you can tell me if anyone bullies you next time. I might be young, but I'll help you."

After that, he ran off.

In the evening, Tremaine returned to Quartley Palace.

He saw Montez at the entrance.

He immediately got out of the car. "Why aren't you asleep? What are you doing here?"

Montez was usually asleep at this hour.

"Daddy, I have something to tell you." Montez's face was red, probably because of the cold wind.

"Go ahead," said Tremaine.

Montez said, "Daddy, you being together with Yesseca actually made me really sad. I wanted to ignore both you and Yesseca and treat the two of you like strangers." Tremaine did not say anything.

He shot Montez a look. "You waited here all night just to tell me this?"

No."

"Then, just spit it out."

Montez said, "Daddy, since you're with Yesseca now, you have to protect her. You can't let anyone bully her. You..."

Tremaine interrupted him. "You don't need to tell me that! How can I possibly allow anyone to bully her?"

"But I saw Yesseca making soup today, and Greatgrandma ordered someone to pour it away."

Tremaine was taken aback at first. Then, his eyes flashed coldly. "Are you serious?"

Montez nodded. "I didn't want to tell you at first because you and Yesseca being together made me really hate you, but I decided to in the end because I didn't want her to be bullied. I..."

Before Montez could finish, Tremaine had already strode into Quartley Palace.

Every step he took seemed to be filled with anger. Wherever he passed, it was as if flames could be seen burning. Yesseca didn't expect Tremaine to come back so early.

After Madam Quartley poured her

soup away, Yesseca had sent him a message telling him not to come back so soon. She'd told him that she wanted to get some rest and wouldn't be making him soup, but she hadn't expected him to still be back at this hour.

Moreover, he looked angry.

She thought it was because he couldn't have soup.

She said, "I'll make soup for you next time. I didn't have time today, but there's always some other time."

"What happened to the soup you made today?" Tremaine stared into Yesseca's eyes.
