My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Preslie had wanted to tell Yesseca about it after getting groceries. But she kept dragging it out as she didn't want Yesseca to be upset.

Since Yesseca had asked, she couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

She said, "Yesseca, do you know that Megeland's president is visiting Nashaland?"

Yesseca was stunned.

Why would Megeland's president visit Nashaland?

Didn't their princess end her visit just a while ago? So why would their president come now?

Seeing how she was still confused, Preslie explained, "He is here to force Tremaine into marrying his daughter. Do you know how serious this is?"

A soft thud sounded.

A tomato which was in Yesseca's hand fell to the ground.

She had wanted to prepare a dish with tomatoes, so she was carefully picking out the best one available.

Preslie bent over, picking up the tomato that was rolling on the ground.

She comforted Yesseca, "Don't be nervous. I'm not too sure about it either, but I can tell how sincere Tremaine is to you. This visit wouldn't do anything to you. I just wanted you to know." Then, she stopped, not daring to say more.

This was because she had come to realize something just a little while.

And that was that she was a dull woman who caused trouble all the time.

Therefore, she had learned to hold back a little. This way, she could keep herself out of trouble.

Now, she had told Yesseca the news. What Yesseca would do was in her own hands.

Preslie thought that she could not help her, considering her intelligence. So she should better steer clear than be involved.

Yesseca didn't say anything.

It was apparent that she was no longer in a good mood and was somewhat gloomy.

She said, "I understand."

Facing Yesseca's disappointment, Preslie wanted to say something, but she forced herself not to.

Yesseca returned to Quartley Palace.

On the way back, she was in a trance.

She thought of Hogan's sudden visit the night before. It must be related to this visit, and he was here to inform Tremaine about it. Thinking about this, she felt sad.

She had been enlightened after her trip home to the Perrys and talking to Matthew. She was feeling hopeful and confident too.

But now, she felt that how bleak the future was.

Since Megeland's president was visiting and going to propose a marriage of state, could Tremaine refuse?

Yesseca thought that it was impossible.

Although she didn't know much about politics, she was clear that if Tremaine refused, it would mean humiliation to the Megeland's president, and the two nations would become enemies. The more she thought, the more worried she became.

She looked at the bag of groceries she had in her hands, not knowing what to do.

Should she still cook dinner?

If she did, would Tremaine come back for dinner?

Since Megeland's president was here, he would have to accompany him and Navidia.

Yesseca's grip on the bag tightened.

After a while, she decided to make a phone call to Tremaine.

If he said he would come home, she would make a table full of dishes for him.

If he did not...

She would give up her idea.

Even if she did cook, no one would be there to consume them.

Just then, Yesseca dialed Tremaine's number.

It took a while before he picked up.

She whispered, "Would you be coming back for dinner?" Afraid he would not know her intention, she emphasized, "I bought a lot of ingredients."

"No." Tremaine said directly, "You don't have to fix dinner. Rest well. Later..." Just then, he paused.

He decided not to tell her about it now.

Yesseca was an overthinker. If he told her now, her mind would wander, and she would not be able to get through the afternoon.

He would pick her up in the evening.

Tremaine said, "Anyway, rest well. And take a nap if you need to."

Her throat felt dry.

She already told him she had bought lots of ingredients, but...

With that, she replied a simple reply.

And she sounded upset.

After hanging up the phone, she sat on the sofa on the floor where she was.

There seemed to be a tiny wound in her chest. Bitterness spread all over her.

Suddenly, a voice came into Yesseca's ears. "Ruth, have you heard that the President of Megaland is coming to visit Nashaland?"

That person was loud as if they were afraid that Yesseca could not hear her. It sounded almost like a shriek.

Yesseca looked over subconsciously.

She saw Yuliana and Ruth at the stairway.

Yuliana also noticed Yesseca's gaze, and she shot her a dirty look.

Yuliana was still resentful about what had happened the last time.

However, since Tremaine had said

that, Yuliana didn't dare to challenge Yesseça, directly. Therefore, she found a way to provoke Yesseea through this conversation with Ruth. en FindNovel

Anyway, she wasn't directing her words at Yesseca, so Tremaine

couldn't blame her for this.

At this moment, Ruth stood in front of Yuliana, feeling a little uneasy and guilty.

She knew what Yuliana wanted to do when she called for her.

They could have spoken to each other anywhere, so why did they have to do it where Yesseca was?

Yuliana was too obvious with her goal of provoking Yesseca.

Since Ruth did not want to defy Yuliana, she stood by Yuliana in silence.

On the other hand, Yuliana did not need her to speak either.

As long as she had said what she wanted.

She continued speaking in a loud voice, "I heard that he is going to propose a marriage of state between Tremaine and his daughter. I'm almost sure that it will happen. He was destined to marry her Ugly ducklings should stop dreaming."

Yuliana was interested in him and had wanted to make him hers. However, the more she tried, the more she knew how low her success rate was.

She was okay with Tremaine and Navidia being together.

It was because Navidia was the princess of Megeland, and marrying her would promote the friendship between the two countries. It would be of great help to Nashaland.

Yuliana could accept Tremaine marrying Navidia

but not him being with Yesseca.

Who did Yesseca think she was?

She was just a servant of the Quartley family. How dare she think she stood a chance to be with Tremaine? She was a much better choice than Yesseca.

In terms of appearance and family background, she was far superior to Yesseca. If Yesseca stood a chance, she deserved a chance too.

So Yuliana was trying her best to tear them apart.

Them being together would only make her feel unbalanced.

Therefore, Yuliana was happy to know the news of Megaland's president's visit.

She'd heard from Madam Quartley that the purpose of the visit was for a marriage of state.
