Tremaine's frown deepened while he stared at Yesseca's resting face. That night, Madam Quartley was so angry that she couldn't fall asleep. Yuliana didn't go to sleep either, she just accompanied Madam Quartley.

After all, besides Zorion, Yuliana could only rely on Madam Quartley's support in this household. Yuliana couldn't afford to lose Madam Quartley.

"Why is this woman so evil? Montez is only a child. How could she do such a thing?" Madam Quartley grumbled over and over again.

Yuliana immediately took advantage of the situation. "I know! This woman is evil. Madam Quartley, I've always known that she is a heartless person!"

Speaking of this, Madam Quartley brought up Tremaine again.

She was exasperated. "It's all because of Tremaine that Yesseca can act so shamelessly. I really can't figure out what sort of bewitchment she used, that Tremaine even let her hurt his only son."

Yuliana said, "Grandma, I told you before that Tremaine would do anything for Yesseca. Tremaine is totally obsessed with this woman."

After hearing Yuliana's words, Madam Quartley sighed and proclaimed that this was a family misfortune.

In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight.

No matter how angry Madam Quartley was, she was still tired. She eventually went to bed.

Before going to bed, Madam Quartley had instructed Yuliana to look for Qiana and to tell Qiana again what kind of person Yesseca was.

"Qiana is just too kind. I really don't know what to say." Madam Quartley sighed. "Yesseca is wicked, so how could Qiana be a match for her! Yuliana. If you don't have anything else to do, you should give Qiana some more pointers!" After hearing Madam Quartley's words, Yuliana tried not to roll her eyes.

Really!

Madam Quartley was really a senile old woman!

Qiana wasn't a match for Yesseca?

Yuliana thought that Yesseca was no match for Qiana!

Yesseca had always dominated Quartley Palace,

but now...

Yuliana thought that Yesseca's road in the future would be rough, and she had a strong instinct that Qiana would become Yesseca's strongest opponent. However...

For some reason, Qiana's smile surfaced in Yuliana's mind.

That smile, no matter how Yuliana thought about it, was just weird.

Did she imagine the smile?

However, after some careful thinking, Yuliana decided that it wasn't her imagination. Qiana had really smiled strangely while Montez was sick and in bed.

At the same time, Qiana was standing next to Montez's bed.

A strange smile appeared on her lips.

At this moment, Montez was asleep.

Although his high fever had subsided, his face was still very red.

Although Qiana's gaze was on Montez, her thoughts had drifted away.

Her mind was on Tremaine.

Recalling the glint of suspicion in Tremaine's eyes, the smile on Qiana's lips widened.

Tremaine should be getting suspicious of Yesseca.

Marvelous.

The gap between the both of them would get wider.

No matter how close a couple was, if there was a gap between them, it would take a toll on their relationship.

And Qiana would take advantage of that opportunity and strike while the iron was still hot.

The next day soon arrived.

Yesseca woke up from her deep sleep.

But she was almost scared to death when she opened her eyes.

Tremaine was looking at her with his eyes wide open.

Yesseca was taken aback.

She patted her chest and said, "What are you doing, not sleeping? Why are you staring at me?"

Tremaine didn't answer Yesseca's question.

He said in a low voice, "Did you give you Montez a bag of cookies you baked yesterday?"

"Yeah," Yesseca said. "Montez told you? I made some for him and I personally gave them to Montez. If I passed them to you, it would've ended up in the cupboard."

After a pause, Yesseca added, "Don't think that just because you don't like desserts that everyone else doesn't. Montez likes the cookies I made."

Yesseca thought about it and felt that Tremaine didn't give the cookies she made to Montez because Tremaine assumed that everyone didn't like desserts. Tremaine didn't like dessert so he thought that Montez didn't like it either, which must've been why he didn't give it to Montez.

Tremaine's eyes flashed. "Montez got a high fever and diarrhea yesterday."

Yesseca was taken aback.

After a while, she cried out, "What? How did Montez get sick? Where is he now? I'll go and have a look."

After saying that, Yesseca got up, but Tremaine stopped her and said, "He's resting now, you don't have to go see him." Yesseca was still very anxious.

She was also afraid of disturbing Montez and said, "When Montez wakes up, I'll go see him. Is it serious?"

"He's doing okay, he'll be better soon," Tremaine said.

He'd went to see Montez the previous night and noted that his fever was gone.

"And," Tremaine continued, "Don't give Montez anything to eat in the future."

Yesseca subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Tremaine looked into Yesseca's eyes. "Montez got sick because he ate your cookies." Yesseca was stunned.

How could Montez be sick because he ate the cookies she baked?

No way!

The cookies she made were not poisonous and she even tried them herself. Yesseca thought for a long time before finally coming up with a reason.

She said to Tremaine, "Could it be that Montez s lactose intolerant? Perhaps that's why he got sick? I've heard that people who are lactose

intolerant would experience diarrhea if they consume any food with dairy."

This was the only reason she could think of.

QUMS

However, in Tremaine's ears, she seemed to be defending herself.

Why did Yesseca say that Montez was lactose intolerant?

Could it be that she really knew there was a problem with her cookies?

swnl

She knew that Montez would definitely have a reaction after eating the cookies, so she said that to absolve any suspicion on her?

Tremaine's heart sank.

Although he didn't want to think this way...

"I'm not sure. Anyway, don't make anything for Montez in the future," Tremaine said.

Montez was not lactose intolerant, he'd liked drinking milk since young.

But Tremaine didn't want to say too much.

Yesseca nodded.

Yesseca figured Tremaine didn't say much about it because Montez indeed was lactose intolerant. If that was the case, she couldn't bake for him anymore, as all her desserts required milk. en Ebookex
