My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)
Chapter 2029

Preslie felt like Sheldon's job was too tiring for one person. She wanted to help lessen his burden so that he would not have to work so hard. That was why she could not leave Nashaland.

Seeing Preslie being so silent, Yesseca said with a smile, "Preslie, it seems like you really enjoy working at the President's Office. I can finally feel at ease knowing you want to stay. At first, I was afraid you didn't like your job and didn't want to tell me about it, but now it seems like it isn't a problem."

Preslie maintained her silence.

She really did like working in the President's Office.

However, she wouldn't abandon her best friend just forthat.

When Yesseca left, the only reason she did not follow her was because of Sheldon.

If it wasn't for Sheldon, she might have resigned.

Of course, she would not tell Yesseca about this.

She was too embarrassed.

All of her thoughts were buried in the bottom of her heart, never to be exposed. She could only conceal them without telling anyone, not even Yesseca, her own best friend.

Firstly, she didn't really understand what her feelings were towards Sheldon. Was it merely admiration, or was it something else?

Secondly, she felt a sense of inferiority.

She knew that she was born in an ordinary family with ordinary looks, and she was even a little chubby. She felt like she wasn't worthy of Sheldon at all. If it wasn't for Yesseca, she wouldn't even have had the opportunity to meet Sheldon in the first place.

As for Sheldon, he was once a prestigious colonel in Nashaland's army. He was tall, handsome, well-educated, and had a high social status. Men like him would only have interest towards woman with a relatively similar ranking. Preslie would never even have a chance. She could only bury her feelings deep in her heart forever.

All in all, it was a great blessing for her to be Sheldon's friend. Giving him some juice every day was already enough for her.

Other than that, she wouldn't think about it, nor would she hold onto hope.

Preslie faked a laugh and said, "I like working in the President's Office. I really do."

Yesseca held Preslie's hands. "That's good. Then, we can stay together in Nashaland forever!"

As she spoke, a figure flashed across Yesseca's mind.

It was Qiana.

The smile on her lips froze suddenly.

However, Yesseca stopped thinking about Qiana immediately.

To her, Tremaine had made a choice between her and Qiana, and there was no need for her to overthink too much about it.

Although Qiana was Montez's biological mother, Tremaine and her were in love. She would also do her best to treat Montez well.

She would definitely take Montez as her own son.

Of course, she would also have to discuss with Tremaine to find a compromise. Not only would Qiana and Montez be satisfied, but her relationship with Tremaine would also be fixed.

That was the best for everyone.

She would try her best not to hurt anyone.

Yesseca would definitely pursue her love boldly, but she didn't want to sacrifice anyone's happiness as well.

Tonight, she would discuss with Tremaine and come up with a solution that was best for them

and Qiana.

While Yesseca and Preslie went shopping.

Tremaine had ordered the servant to invite Qiana to his home office.

Qiana was standing in the middle of the room while Tremaine was right in front of her. He looked like someone who held immense authoritative presence, and Qiana's face morphed into one with unease. "Mr... Mr. Tremaine," Qiana spoke softly.

Tremaine answered her in a deep tone, "Miss Lanes."

"Mr. Tremaine, you can call me Qiana. You don't have to call me Miss Lanes," Qiana replied immediately.

Tremaine said, "I shall refer to you as Miss Lanes given the state of our relationship. I needed a child back when I had no plans of getting married, so I had no choice but to utilize your ovum and give birth to Montez. This is why you are Montez's biological mother." Qiana was silent.

She clutched the hem of her shirt tightly, and she looked a little nervous and restless.

She wanted to leave a certain impression in

Tremaine's mind.

She wanted him to view her as a shy and pitiful woman.

"I paid a large sum of money for you, Miss Lanes. You should have understood that even though you are the biological mother of Montez, everything that happened stemmed from a contract. That means there will be nothing owed between us once I have paid you the sum, and therefore, Miss Lanes, it should be clear that you have nothing to do with me and Montez."

"Mr. Tremaine, the reason I betrayed you that time was because..." Qiana's eyes were filled with tears as she told Tremaine the lies she had made up. "But later on, I regretted it. Now that I know Montez is my child. Please have sympathy for me as a mother. I don't want to be apart from my child, and I want to be with him for every single moment."

"I do understand your feelings as a mother," Tremaine said. "But Miss Lanes, you should also understand that as an adult, you have to be responsible for what you have done. There is no use regretting the past. Ever since you agreed to the contract, it is inevitable that you must face the consequences. And even though you are reluctant to do so, you still have to leave. I hope the only thing between us is this

contract, and nothing else."

Qiana's face became paler.

"I will also pay you another large sum of money so that you will have enough to sustain your living expenses. Miss Lanes, you should leave this place by today," Tremaine said. Qiana took a step back.

Tears were pooling in her eyes. "Mr.

Tremaine, I don't want to leave Quartley Palace. I really don't want to, but..." She bit her lips with a great force. "I know you have a girlfriend whose name is Yesseca. She has returned to the Quartley Palace, and although you and I have nothing between us, my existence will be a burden to her. Therefore, I shall take my leave."

Qiana bowed respectfully to

Tremaine and said, "Mr. Temaine, I don't need your money. My only hope is that you will treat Montez

well. And even if you and Yessecaet

give birth to a child in the future, hope that you can always have Montez as your first priority. This is my only request. Mr. Tremaine,

please promise me this! I will do

whatever I can with an open heart as long as it's good for my son,

Montez."

After that, Qiana turned away and left. Tremaine's eyes were full of astonishment.

He had initially expected that Qiana would refuse to leave, but in the end, she didn't. It seemed like she really loved Montez.
