Yesseca overheard the conversation between the two servants clearly.

She was completely shocked.

Cookies in the cupboard?

What was going on?

Yesseca immediately went forward to ask the maid about it.

The two servants did not expect Yesseca to appear out of nowhere, so they were dumbfounded.

The maid that Tremaine ordered to put the cookies in the cupboard initially wanted to avoid answering Yesseca. However, Yesseca continued pressing her. The maid could only relent.

She opened the cupboard and there were stacks of boxes of cookies in it.

The maid avoided Yesseca's eyes and said, "Mr. Tremaine passed this to me a few days in a row. He said nothing about what to do with it. He just told me to keep it. Maybe he wasn't willing to finish it in one go which was why he wants to keep it." Yesseca's gaze swept into the cupboard. Indeed, there were all the cookies that she had made for Montez and passed to Tremaine to give to Montez.

Yesseca's head began to buzz.

Why did Tremaine keep all the cookies she made for Montez?

With a belly full of questions, Yesseca was ready to call Tremaine and ask him what was going on, but she didn't expect to see Montez by the corridor. Montez was by himself and was about to go upstairs.

When their gaze locked onto each other's, both Yesseca and Montez paused a little.

Although they were both in Quartley Palace, Montez and Yesseca hadn't met for a long time ever since Qiana knelt down to Yesseca.

"Montez." Yesseca was the first to speak.

Montez's face looked a little tense, but he still nodded and whispered, "Yesseca."

Yesseca suddenly felt a little awkward.

Though she did not know why.

She used to have such a good relationship with Montez, there would even be nights where they would sleep in the same bed together. She used to be so close with Montez, but now she felt awkward with him. "Montez." Yesseca tried to replace a topic in her mind. "How have you been lately?"

Montez replied, "I'm fine."

He had originally wanted to ask how Yesseca was doing recently. However, for some reason, the scene of Qiana kneeling in front of Yesseca surfaced in his mind. His mouth moved but no words came out from his mouth. "Do my cookies taste good?" Yesseca asked again. "I made them myself. Did your father give you a taste of it?"

Montez thought of the box of cookies.

They were delicious. But for some reason, after eating the cookies, Montez's stomach ached for the whole day. But he didn't think much about it.

He did not think that it was because of the cookies Yesseca made.

Montez said, "They were delicious. It's the box of bear cookies right? It was nice. Yesseca, thank you for making it for me." Yesseca immediately asked, "Did you only have one box of bear cookies? Did you only eat one box?"

Montez nodded.

Yesseca continued, "Your father only gave you a box? Not any more?"

Montez nodded again.

Yesseca's heart sank.

At this moment, Qiana walked over.

She smiled at Yesseca and said, "Miss Cowell."

Montez glanced at Qiana and saw how careful mother looked in front of Yesseca.

That scene made Montez feel as if something had hit his heart hard.

He grabbed Qiana's hand and said, "Mom, let's go."

Yesseca was about to greet Qiana when Montez pulled Qiana away. She could only smile at Qiana as a response.

Montez pulled Qiana upstairs. When they were out of Yesseca's sight Montez said, "Mom, next time you see Yesseca, you don't have to look so careful or timid, you can treat her as your friend." en Ebookex

However, Qiana said, "Montez, don't talk nonsense Yesseca is the person your dad likes. How can I be qualified to be her friend? I can't compare to her at all. I can't offend Yesseca. Otherwise, if Yesseca is unhappy, I won't be able stay in Quartley Palace to accompany you. I have to please Yesseca in order to stay with you. I will always need to

be inferior to her."

Montez's face changed.

Qiana immediately added, "Don't worry, Montez. Yesseca is a good person and a good woman. She won't make things difficult for me, but I still have to show basic respect to her." Qiana's words made Montez's heart feel more uncomfortable.

At the same time, the scene of Qiana kneeling in front of Yesseca appeared in his mind again.

He suddenly let go of Qiana's hand and bit his lip. "Mom, you are not inferior to anyone. Never!"

After saying that, Montez ran away.

Watching Montez's leaving figure, a smug smile appeared on Qiana's lips.

She wanted to cause a conflict between Montez and Yesseca.

She wanted Montez to stop liking Yesseca, and even turn his dislike into hate.

Yesseca was very angry.

That was because she had worked so hard to make cookies for Montez but he didn't eat any of them. Tremaine had stored them all away instead!

Yesseca really couldn't understand why Tremaine did this!

After Montez and Qiana left, Yesseca angrily called Tremaine.

The call was quickly connected.

The first sentence Tremaine said was full of affection, "Missing me? I'll be back soon. Wait for me in bed after you've freshened up."

Yesseca was lost for words.

She was so mad at Tremaine that her head went dizzy. "Who's missing you? Stop being narcissistic! I'm not missing you! I'm not going to wait for you! Stop dreaming!" Tremaine was confused.

Why was Yesseca so angry?

Tremaine said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? Is it because I am not coming home for dinner tonight? Aren't you shopping? If you weren't shopping, I'd be back to have dinner with you."

"No way!" Yesseca raised her voice. "I don't care about having dinner with you. It's best if you don't come back, let alone have dinner with me!"

Yesseca's words had ruined the conversation.

Tremaine was also speechless.

He said, "You know you're acting weirdly now, right? Are you on your period?" "You're the one on your period!"

Tremaine was stunned.

He said, "I'll be home soon. Let's talk later and replace out what's wrong with you!"

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Tremaine hung up the phone.

Yesseca took in large mouthfuls of air.

She was furious.

Tremaine had kept all the cookies she made in the cupboard instead of giving them to Montez.

When she gave Tremaine the cookies, she'd even specifically said the words...
